Talking about *mental models*? Make sure you know what you mean.
It’s a popular term often used loosely.
They aren’t just bits of knowledge. They’re situation-sensitive tools for thinking.

We *promise* this is not an April Fool's joke: humans are closely related to gorillas. We share approximately 98% of our DNA with these incredible animals! 🦍
Gorillas are SO MUCH like us. Or should we say... we are so much like them? 💛

This #InternationalWomensDay, we demand more than celebration — we demand action. ✊💜
Being born a woman should not be a barrier. Yet, from legal discrimination ⚖️ to economic inequality 💰, millions of women and girls face systemic exclusion every day.
It’s time to demand change — now. #HerRightsOurFuture 🚺🌍

Very much enjoyed this conversation with @bschermd about the findings of our pilot study released this week.
I share my personal experience with ketogenic diet and bipolar, and why our brain imaging findings may shed some light on a central question in metabolic psychiatry:
"Why does ketosis, an anti-seizure treatment in epilepsy, show early signs of efficacy in bipolar, a condition often treated by anti-seizure medications?"
Dr. Iain Campbell, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh, discusses his groundbreaking pilot study on ketogenic therapy for bipolar disorder with Dr. Bret Scher. Having personally experienced the benefits of ketosis for his own bipolar type II depression, Dr. Campbell delves into the link between metabolic health and mental well-being.
Dr. Campbell shares how his recent study reveals a correlation between higher ketone levels and improvements in mood, energy, impulsivity, and anxiety in patients with bipolar disorder. He also highlights the intriguing brain imaging results that indicate reductions in brain glutamate, hinting at one of the potential mechanisms behind ketogenic therapy's effectiveness.
Key Topics Covered:
- The correlation between ketone levels and mood stabilization
- Dr. Campbell’s personal journey using ketogenic therapy for bipolar disorder
- How ketosis impacts brain glutamate levels
- The role of metabolic psychiatry in treating mental illness
- The future of metabolic treatments at the newly established UK Metabolic Psychiatry Hub
Dr. Campbell's pioneering work at the Metabolic Psychiatry Hub is advancing the field of metabolic psychiatry by integrating research and treatment, demonstrating how ketogenic therapy can be a powerful tool for addressing both metabolic and mental health in the treatment of bipolar disorder.

The brain is the most complex organ in the body and is essential for human life. It controls nearly all of the body's functions, including thought, memory, movement, and senses. Here are 12 ways you can support your brain on a daily basis.
