So what's the difference between nutritional psychiatry and metabolic psychiatry?🧵(1/6)

I will be in the audience cheering on @georgiaedemd @IainCampbellPhD @ProfDanielSmith and @ShebaniMD and on what I believe will be a historical moment in the #MetabolicPsychiatry movement.
Save me a chair, @janellison and @bschermd ;)

Let me explain what is going on. This ain't no receptive, open minded low-carb medical conference that these researchers are presenting to.
Their research on bipolar and other serious mental illness is going to be dropped on a bunch of conventionally trained mainstream MDs and researchers.

Totally off-topic, but I have to do a thread on this study done by @DominicDAgosti2, Jeff Volek, and others! Those of you who like to hike with heavy backpacks should check this out! 🧵(1/11)
@DominicDAgosti2 Their study investigated whether ingesting carbohydrate- or lipid-based nutritional bars before rucking could enhance performance. (2/11)
@DominicDAgosti2 What was in the bars? I will tell you!
1000 kcal derived from a novel, energy-dense (percentage energy from carbohydrate/fat/protein: 5/83/12) ketogenic bar (KB), or isocaloric high carb bars (CB; 61/23/16) (3/11)

I think we need to talk about how a ketogenic diet acts as a primary redox therapy, but nobody is talking about it that way. But they totally should! 🧵 (1/20)
This is an article about Redox Therapy as it applies to cardiovascular disease. It was shared by @boretrol, who is super smart and awesome, and you should follow him. (2/20)

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a crucial defense mechanism for the brain, regulating the exchange of molecules between the bloodstream and the brain. When the BBB is disrupted, it can have severe consequences for brain health. (1/12)
Alzheimer's disease is one example of a condition that is exacerbated by BBB disruption. When the BBB is compromised, amyloid beta-peptide deposits can accumulate, leading to #inflammation and disruption of neuronal function. (2/12)
A disrupted BBB in #Alzheimers means astrocyte and microglia inflammation, disruption of synaptic transmission, and myelin destruction. (3/12)
