How To Treat Weight Gain From Psychiatric Medications @metabolicmind

Metabolic Mind | How To Treat Weight Gain From Psychiatric Medications @metabolicmind | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
People can successfully lose weight that they’ve gained as a result of antipsychotic and other psychiatric medications for bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and other mental health disorders. But the advice to eat low-fat, low-calorie diets simply doesn’t work for most people, and that’s why it is worth considering ketogenic therapy as a way to lose weight, improve hunger, and potentially treat psychiatric symptoms.

The scope of this problem is significant, as stubborn weight gain is a common side effect of psychiatric medications. And people struggle to lose weight despite doing everything they are told. Many doctors are now turning to GLP1 agonist drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic. But there's another way that more doctors should be aware of - ketogenic therapy. By understanding the impact of ketogenic therapy, doctors and patients may start to see improvement in unwanted weight gain.

$Long-Term Safety of Ketogenic Diets - with Dr. Bret Scher In this video, Dr. Bret Scher addresses common misconceptions and concerns surrounding the long-term safety and nutritional adequacy of ketogenic diets. Dr. Scher emphasizes the importance of weighing potential risks against known benefits. For instance, psychotropic medications, despite often worsening overall physical and metabolic health, are considered beneficial because they can alleviate symptoms of serious mental illnesses. In contrast, many patients experience incredible benefits from ketogenic therapy without harmful side effects. In numerous cases, a medical keto diet can even put psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression into complete remission. What Youll Learn: ▪️Long-Term Safety: Is it safe to maintain ketosis over an extended period? ▪️Nutritional Adequacy: Can a ketogenic diet lead to nutrient deficiencies or disordered eating habits? ▪️Fiber and Phytonutrients: Are fiber intake and phytonutrients compromised on a ketogenic diet? ▪️Heart Disease Risk: Is there an increased risk of heart disease with long-term ketosis? ▪️Short-Term vs. Long-Term Outcomes: Is ketosis only effective for short-term outcomes? There is a lot of information circulating online touting the risks of long-term ketogenic diets that is completely unfounded. Dr. Scher tackles these prevalent questions, analyzing scientific evidence and dispelling myths surrounding ketogenic diets.

Many non-communicable diseases can be traced to metabolic dysfunction, and medical keto is a powerful intervention that can repair metabolism and restore health. As awareness of the therapeutic potential of a medical keto diet grows, more patients are increasingly interested in exploring this type of metabolic therapy. However many clinicians may not be familiar with the nuances of implementing a medical keto diet. This video aims to provide insight into - The difference between a keto diet and ketogenic therapy - The distinction between ketosis is not the same as ketoacidosis - Over a hundred years of research on medical keto for epilepsy, demonstrating the neurological impact, safety, and efficacy of ketogenic therapy Join Dr. Scher as he explores these topics and more to better support patients with this promising therapy that has a growing evidence base for both physical and psychiatric conditions.
