Chris Palmer, MD When you pray and beg God for help because you have a beautiful baby boy and all you want is to be a healthy and happy mom and God answers your prayer primarily by changing your diet… it IS a miracle!

When you treat patients with schizoaffective disorder for over 10 years and see them suffer relentlessly, lose jobs and relationships due to their illness, and lose hope...

and then they try the ketogenic diet and regain their lives...

it feels like a miracle.

Maybe it is.

The memory of neuronal mitochondrial stress is inherited transgenerationally via elevated mitochondrial DNA levels ... at least in worms.

Mitochondria in different organs and tissues can function differently from each other.

This study finds striking differences in the bioenergetics of brain and liver mitochondria in mitochondrial disease: an important aspect of the brain energy theory.

'Every single psychological condition is tied to worse biological aging' - Ryan Smith . One of my favorite quotes from this weekend's Longevity Docs meeting.

'more and more evidence shows that mitochondrial dynamics dysfunction may play an important role in the occurrence and development of depression'

Science can lead to better treatment and prevention strategies.

Kozmic Even this paper analyzes people that don't respond to the medications. It's not claiming that this happens for all people, only those who respond to the antidepressant. In reality, they can't fully know that these changes in energy metabolism are due to the antidepressants, as…

How do Celexa and Lexapro (SSRI's) work when they do work?

This analysis concludes...

'These findings suggest that mitochondrial energetics—including acylcarnitine metabolism, transport, and its link to β-oxidation—and lipid membrane remodeling may play roles in SSRI treatment…

It was a moving day at the #dumpthescales march in London, organised by the relentlessly determined Hope Virgo. There is so much pain, loss, and work to do to help people with eating disorders, but another way is possible. I was so glad to take part.

.Agnes Ayton 💙 talking about the importance of patients, clinicians, carers and researchers working together to improve eating disorder treatment and prevention. We ALL have a role to play

And a full life after recovery which can be anything you want it to be'💕

Inspiring words from Megan 🐼

#dumpthescales

“In this review, we aim to draw the attention on commonalities between proteopathy-associated neurodegeneration and neurodegeneration caused by DNA repair defects and discuss how mitochondria are implicated in the development of both disorder classes.”

Anxious? Just take some deep breaths.

Depressed? Think happy thoughts.

Unless, of course, you have higher concentrations of antisense RNA and lower immunometabolism scores. In that case, you might have a medical condition affecting your brain.

No one should be dying of an eating disorder in 2024.

The eyes, too?!?! 🤣
