BITESIZE: How Sleep Affects Brain Metabolism and Alzheimer’s Risk
Stress can disrupt sleep quickly, and when poor sleep becomes a pattern, the effects can reach far beyond next-day fatigue.For International Stress Awareness Week, we’re calling attention to the broader health effects of chronic stress, including the way disrupted sleep can affect cortisol, metabolism, and brain function.In this video, Dr. Scher discusses the glymphatic system’s proposed role in clearing brain waste during sleep, including proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease. He also explores possible links between disrupted sleep, stress hormones, and brain energy metabolism.He covers:How the glymphatic system works during deep sleepWhy healthy brain energy metabolism may be important for this overnight clearing processThe connection between insulin resistance, cortisol, and fragmented sleepWhy late-night eating may interfere with deep sleepHow reducing refined carbohydrates in the evening may affect glucose stability and sleepWhy nutritional ketosis is being studied as a supplemental fuel strategyHow morning light helps set the circadian rhythm for sleep later that nightWhy protecting sleep may be important for long-term cognitive healthDr. Scher explains why the quality of our sleep may have consequences that extend far beyond feeling tired the next day, especially as researchers continue to learn more about the relationship between sleep and brain metabolism.🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?

Dr. David Unwin on Type 2 Diabetes Remission With Low-Carb Nutrition
Type 2 diabetes is often treated as a chronic, progressive disease, but Dr. David Unwin has spent years showing that, for many patients, remission is possible through low-carb nutrition and a different approach to care.In this episode, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Dr. Unwin about how his work as an NHS primary care physician changed after he began focusing on insulin resistance, carbohydrate intake, and the underlying drivers of type 2 diabetes rather than blood sugar alone.Dr. Unwin shares how his approach to care evolved and discusses published real-world findings on type 2 diabetes remission among patients who chose a low-carb approach. He also explains why long-term maintenance became just as important as achieving remission in the first place, and how he uses continuous glucose monitors to support that process. He also describes his approach to behavioral support, including addressing food addiction.They discuss:How Dr. Unwin’s approach to type 2 diabetes changed after discovering low-carb nutritionWhat his published NHS data show about drug-free diabetes remissionWhy insulin resistance is central to how he explains type 2 diabetes to patientsHow low-carb diets can be personalized using A1C, weight, waist circumference, and continuous glucose monitoringWhy maintaining remission can be harder than achieving itThe role food and carbohydrate addiction may play in long-term adherenceHow continuous glucose monitors can provide immediate feedbackWhere GLP-1 medications may fit alongside nutrition and behavior changeWhy medication management with a healthcare provider is especially important when starting a low-carb dietWhat Dr. Unwin believes the rise in type 2 diabetes tells us about changes in our food environmentDr. Unwin’s experience shows how much can change when clinicians look beyond glucose control and ask what may be driving the disease in the first place. His work also offers a hopeful reminder that type 2 diabetes does not always have to follow the progressive path many patients are taught to expect.🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?

Q&A: Dr. Ede on Sweetener Studies, Oxalate Dumping, Exercise & Bone Health
Can stevia fit into a ketogenic diet? What does the evidence say about oxalates? And how might a ketogenic diet affect bone health?In this episode of Metabolic Mailbag, Dr. Bret Scher and psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede answer listener questions about sweeteners, exercise, ketone levels, continuous ketone monitoring, and more.They discuss:Why stevia can still be considered a keto-friendly sweetener, and why individual response mattersWhat the evidence does and does not show about “oxalate dumping”Why oxalate intake and symptoms can vary so much from person to personWhat research says about ketogenic diets and bone health in children versus adultsWhy protein, resistance training, vitamin D, calcium, vitamin K2, estrogen, and cortisol all matter for preserving bone massWhy some people see lower ketone readings in the morning and higher readings laterHow food intake, exercise, sleep, and circadian rhythm can affect ketone levelsWhat continuous ketone monitors may teach us about daily ketone patternsHow exercise can both help you enter ketosis and temporarily lower blood ketone levelsWhy even short bouts of movement can support metabolic and mental healthDr. Ede also explains why context matters with ketogenic therapy. A ketone reading or food choice can mean different things depending on the person and their health goals.🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?

Dr. Satchin Panda on How Your Body Clock Shapes Metabolic Health
Meal timing, morning light, sleep, and exercise can all influence circadian rhythm, with potentially important effects on metabolic health.In this episode, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with circadian biology expert Dr. Satchin Panda about how our internal clocks work, what disrupts them, and how everyday timing choices can affect metabolism, brain function, and long-term health.Dr. Panda describes how light helps synchronize the brain’s central clock, while food timing may influence clocks in other organs and tissues. He also breaks down why the timing of your first and last meals matters, what shift work can do to metabolic health, and how even a one-hour clock change for “daylight savings” can disrupt circadian biology.They discuss:How circadian rhythms influence metabolism and brain functionWhy morning light and daytime light exposure matterThe difference between central and peripheral circadian clocksWhy Dr. Panda recommends waiting one to two hours after waking before eatingWhy eating several hours before bed may support sleep and metabolic healthWhy the timing of a time-restricted eating window matters, not just its lengthWhat research in firefighters suggests about food timing during shift workPractical strategies for people working overnight or irregular schedulesHow light exposure is being used in some mental health settingsWhy Dr. Panda favors permanent standard time over changing the clocks twice a yearDr. Panda’s research offers a practical framework for thinking about circadian health. Paying closer attention to habits like when you eat, get sunlight, exercise, and sleep may help keep your internal clocks better aligned.👉 Looking for lifestyle practices that can help support metabolic and mental health?

BITESIZE: Dr. Deanna Kelly on Clozapine and Ketogenic Therapy
Can ketogenic therapy help offset some of the metabolic side effects of clozapine while preserving its psychiatric benefits?Dr. Deanna Kelly, a leading clozapine researcher, joins Dr. Bret Scher to discuss what she has seen clinically when ketogenic therapy is used alongside clozapine and other antipsychotic medications.Dr. Kelly shares the case of a patient taking clozapine who also had diabetes and metabolic syndrome. After five weeks on a ketogenic diet, the patient’s glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin A1C returned to the normal range. She also explains why people taking antipsychotics such as clozapine or olanzapine may have a harder time reaching ketosis and why careful monitoring matters.They discuss:Using ketogenic therapy alongside clozapineMetabolic side effects associated with antipsychotic treatmentWhy ketosis may be harder to achieve on clozapine or olanzapineChanges in clozapine blood levels that may occur with ketogenic therapyWhy lower clozapine levels do not automatically mean the dose should be increasedThe possibility of gradually reducing antipsychotic doses once someone is stableWhy Dr. Kelly views dose reduction through a harm-reduction lensThe importance of expert clinical supervision when adjusting psychiatric medicationsThe research in this area is still limited, but Dr. Kelly believes there is real promise in exploring whether ketogenic therapy can help reduce metabolic burden and, in some cases, support lower antipsychotic doses without sacrificing psychiatric stability.Medication safety is critical. Clozapine and other psychiatric medications should only be adjusted with experienced clinical supervision, especially when starting ketogenic therapy, because medication levels and effects can change as metabolism changes.💡 Learn more about the importance of clinical support with psych meds and how ketogenic therapy may impact medication needs and dosage on our Keto and Psych Meds Topic Page: www.metabolicmind.org/resources/topics/keto-and-psych-meds/.🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?

BITESIZE: ADHD and Dementia: Is Brain Metabolism the Link?
A recent study published in JAMA Psychiatry found that adults with ADHD had more than a fourfold higher association with cognitive impairment and dementia later in life. The finding doesn't mean ADHD causes dementia, but it raises important questions about what these conditions may share biologically.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the study and explores one possible connection: brain energy metabolism.Researchers analyzed data from more than 187,000 adults and also found that people with a higher genetic risk for ADHD had a 35% greater likelihood of cognitive decline, even without an ADHD diagnosis. Dr. Scher explains why these findings may point toward shared biological pathways involving glucose metabolism, mitochondrial function, insulin sensitivity, and the brain’s ability to meet its energy needs.He covers:What the study found about ADHD and later cognitive declineWhy association doesn't establish causationThe possible connection between ADHD, brain energy metabolism, and dementiaHow sleep, chronic stress, and metabolic health may influence long-term brain healthWhy ketogenic therapy is being explored as a way to provide the brain with an additional fuel sourceHow exercise and sleep may support brain metabolic functionWhy this research makes early attention to metabolic health worth consideringThe research connecting ADHD, metabolism, and dementia is still developing. For people living with ADHD, these findings offer another reason to think about long-term brain health and the metabolic factors that may be modifiable over time.👉 Interested in learning more about the potential connection between ADHD and metabolic health?

Dr. Georgia Ede on ADHD, Brain Metabolism, and Ketogenic Therapy
ADHD is often described as a problem with attention or hyperactivity, but psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede argues that the condition is much more complex, involving executive function, dopamine regulation, and potentially brain energy metabolism.In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher and Dr. Georgia Ede take a deeper look at ADHD, from how it is diagnosed and treated to emerging research on nutrition and glucose metabolism, including questions about ketogenic therapyDr. Ede draws on years of experience treating ADHD, including her time at Harvard University, Smith College, and the Hallowell Center. She explains why some people living with ADHD can focus intensely on things that interest them while struggling with everyday tasks, why stimulants can be so effective for some people, and where lifestyle strategies may fit alongside conventional care.They cover:What ADHD actually is and why the name can be misleadingHow inattentive and hyperactive symptoms can look very differentWhy ADHD can affect work, relationships, self-esteem, and quality of lifeHow stimulant and non-stimulant medications workWhat older studies found when children living with ADHD followed simplified whole-food dietsEvidence of altered brain glucose metabolism in ADHDWhy researchers are exploring possible links between ADHD and metabolic health, including research on mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammationWhat Dr. Ede has observed clinically with whole-food and ketogenic approachesHow ketogenic therapy may interact with stimulant medicationsWhy there is no established ketone level for ADHDThe first randomized controlled trial now underway at Oxford studying ketogenic therapy in adults living with ADHD and depressionThe clinical evidence for ketogenic therapy in ADHD is still early, and Dr. Ede emphasizes that we do not yet know how effective it will be or who is most likely to benefit. But with research now underway, the metabolic side of ADHD is becoming an important area to watch.Anyone considering dietary or medication changes should discuss them with their healthcare provider. Medication adjustments require supervision from a prescribing clinician.👉 Interested in learning more about the potential connection between ADHD and metabolic health?
