The focus of research should shift from merely treating conditions to understanding and improving metabolic health to prevent mental health disorders.

The ketogenic diet has shown effectiveness in treating psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, sometimes leading to remission in treatment-resistant cases.

The integration of metabolic health with mental health is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of mental illness and its treatment.

Metabolic health influences neurodevelopment, and as metabolic health declines, we can expect an increase in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Rates of autism and ADHD are rising alongside poor metabolic health in the population, indicating a potential link between metabolic dysfunction and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Intermittent fasting and ketogenic diets can improve mitochondrial function and overall health, even for those without epilepsy or severe mental disorders.

The health of mitochondria is crucial for overall metabolic health, and understanding mitochondrial biology can help address both mental and physical health issues. The ketogenic diet improves mitochondrial function by bypassing standard cellular metabolism, which is also crucial for mental and physical health.

Improving mitochondrial function involves lifestyle factors such as exercise, sleep, and sunlight exposure, which can enhance mental health.

93% of Americans have some metabolic dysfunction, and psychiatric illnesses are rising in both children and adults.
