Could changing your metabolism reduce alcohol cravings, ease psychiatric symptoms, and even make cancer immunotherapy more effective? The science is pointing to yes, and the mechanisms are fascinating.
In this Journal Club episode, co-hosts Victoria Field, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, and Dr. Angela Poff break down five peer-reviewed papers from their newly released Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy ebook (Volume 4). From a French preclinical study showing ketogenic diet enhances PD-L1 immunotherapy response in kidney cancer, to an NIH/UPenn trial using machine-learning-derived fMRI signatures to measure reduced alcohol cravings during ketosis, to Stanford's pilot trial demonstrating notable metabolic and psychiatric improvements in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, this episode covers the cutting edge of metabolic therapy research.
Questions Answered in This Episode:
- Why does the brain crave alcohol in people with alcohol use disorder, and how might ketones help?
- How might a ketogenic diet affect a tumor’s response to immunotherapy?
- Can insulin resistance in the brain contribute to psychiatric symptom severity?
- How does the ketogenic diet compare to the Mediterranean diet for autoimmune inflammation?
- Does timing of ketogenic diet initiation matter for chronic pain relief?
- Is it realistic for people with serious mental illness to adhere to a ketogenic diet?
Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone looking to understand the latest science, this episode reveals just how far-reaching ketogenic metabolic therapy has become, spanning oncology, psychiatry, addiction, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, and much more!
