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.
And there is no way I am missing out on watching that unfold. I will be there with bells on. And that is what I mean by history us unfolding. #bipolar#mitochondria#metavolicpsychiatry
Look everyone! Here it is on the schedule. 🙌

Did you know that a guy named Zoltán Sarnyai, MD, PhD brought his big, beautiful brain to this years' Metabolic Psychiatry Retreat put on by @janellison and @metabolic_mind? He is working hard to bring #metabolicpsychiatry to the masses, so it's time to learn about him! 🧵(1/9)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Dr. Zoltán Sarnyai is Professor at James Cook University. He was previously a University Lecturer in the Department of Pharmacology, University of Cambridge, and a Fellow of Pembroke College, where he was Director of Studies for Medicine. (2/9)
@janellison@Metabolic_Mind He trained at McLean Hospital at Harvard Medical School and at The Rockefeller University, supported by the DuPont-Warren Award and a NARSAD Young Investigator Award, respectively. (3/9)
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) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@boretrol What are some commonly agreed-upon redox therapies? I will tell you. ⬇️ (3/20)
@MaryPhillips23@janellison@Metabolic_Mind Dr. Phillips has been a leader in affective neuroscience for over 25 years, bridging cognitive and clinical approaches to mood disorders research. (3/10)
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)
