The science behind #metabolicpsychiatry, using #keto, #intermittentfasting, or other #diets to improve severe #mentalhealth issues is fascinating, as I wrote about in my latest NatGeo piece.

Patients rave about how the keto diet has helped ease mental health symptoms. The data are limited, but encouraging.

People with poorer glucose control show faster learning from rewards, in turn linked to higher depression symptoms. This suggests a neurocognitive bridge between metabolic disease and mood: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsgos.2025.100645

#MetabolicPsychiatry encourages a whole-body perspective on mental illness, acknowledging that physical health and mental health influence each other. Many risk factors can negatively impact metabolism and mental health, and a key priority is to identify the directionality of these relationships.
