Low-glutamate diet linked to brain changes and migraine relief in veterans with Gulf War Illness
www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

"raises the question of whether a low-glutamate diet could also benefit the wider population of migraine sufferers"

#GWI #migraine #headache
News Release 15-Nov-2025 Low-glutamate diet linked to brain changes and migraine relief in veterans with Gulf War Illness Reports and Proceedings Georgetown University Medical Center SAN DIEGO -- Veterans with Gulf War Illness experienced significant improvement in migraine symptoms after following a diet low in glutamate, a component of flavor enhancing food additives commonly found in processed foods, according to new research presented by Georgetown University and American University scientists. Brain scans also revealed decreased cortical thickness in patients on the diet — providing evidence, for the first time, that the improvement in symptoms was linked to measurable changes in the brain.

Psychiatry treats mental illness like curing a headache with Tylenol and assuming it’s caused by a “Tylenol deficiency.” In Brain Energy, Dr Chris Palmer argues this symptom-focused model ignores root causes, like metabolic brain dysfunction. Time for a new approach. #BrainEnergy #MentalHealth

With a quick scan I don't see any measurements of ketosis or related markers (insulin?) which is a shame, but good to see more research in this area 👍😀

An interesting paradox: cancer and Alzheimer’s share aging as a major risk factor, yet people with cancer are ~25–35% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s. People with Alzheimer’s have about half the risk of cancer. Why? Scientists still don’t know.

The cancer Alzheimer’s disease paradox | npj Aging
A paradoxical inverse correlation between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease has been repeatedly observed in epidemiological studies. While cancer and Alzheimer’s disease share common risk factors, most notably aging, the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in patients with cancer is significantly reduced, and the risk of cancer in patients with Alzheimer’s disease is halved. The convergence of two distinct disciplines, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, offers an exciting and untapped opportunity to generate new ideas and to understand the fundamental mechanisms of risk and resilience in both diseases. The curious phenomenon of the inverse correlation between cancer and Alzheimer’s disease has the potential to drive innovation and help to identify actionable targets for novel clinical interventions for both diseases.

Your anxiety might not be anxiety. Brain insulin resistance is real, measurable, and largely ignored.

The markers exist. High Fasting Insulin and HOMA-IR.

Interesting.

Looking at this from an energy / metabolism perspective, perhaps cancer is related to an excess supply of energy, and Alzheimer's by a lack of energy?
