Leading clinicians and researchers share their firsthand experience with the ketogenic diet as a therapeutic tool.
Baszucki Group is looking to build a community of practice to connect clinicians working at the intersection of metabolic health and psychiatry. A community of practice connects individuals with shared interests to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and drive innovation through ongoing learning and relationship building. Complete the survey to help shape the community by telling us about your background, interests, and how you’d like to engage.

Psychiatrists need to start thinking like whole-person doctors, because the brain is part of the body.”
Dr. Georgia Ede
Harvard-trained psychiatrist and author of Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind
Decades of scientific evidence suggests that serious mental illness is rooted in metabolic dysfunction affecting the brain. Metabolic psychiatry is an emerging field that reexamines mental health through the lens of brain energy, mitochondrial function, and cellular health. Rooted in over a century of research on ketogenic therapy for epilepsy, it explores how metabolic interventions might offer new pathways to healing.

Building on emerging clinical evidence, Dr. Chris Palmer and colleagues explore the potential of ketogenic therapy across a range of mental health and neurological conditions. Drawing on both mechanistic insights and clinical data, the authors outline how metabolic dysfunction—expressed as mitochondrial impairment, oxidative stress, inflammation, and glucose hypometabolism—may contribute to psychiatric symptoms. Dr. Palmer is currently developing a brick-and-mortar clinic in the Boston area offering a metabolic approach to mental health.
Our Medical Director Dr. Bret Scher and Baszucki Group Director of Neuroscience Dr. Julie Milder discuss the current state of metabolic psychiatry research, balancing research and the need for care, and how clinicians can get involved in the research.

PROVIDERS
If you’re considering incorporating ketogenic or other metabolic strategies into your clinical practice, it can be helpful to review how others are implementing these approaches. We’ve compiled a list of specialty clinics, providers, peer communities, and related resources that may serve as useful examples as you explore this work.
Established and emerging evidence demonstrate that ketogenic diets are safe and sustainable. Explore new research, reviews, and myth-busting videos from expert scientists and clinicians.
