Bio: I’m a psychiatrist. I live in Albuquerque, NM, and I greatly enjoy the Southwest US. I practice in outpatient addictions care and inpatient psychiatry. I have an interest in the field of low carbohydrate diets, ketogenic diets, and the moderate ketosis promoted by ketone body supplements or the medium-chain triglycerides. The diets are already known to benefit epilepsy, obesity, mitochondrial diseases, and disorders of insulin resistance. The time is right for investigation of the ketone bodies and their precursors also. I feel these interventions may help with a number of metabolic and neurologic disorders. Right now I’m writing a review of the potential of these methods in treatment of essential tremor. Macular degeneration, age-related hearing loss, antipsychotic-induced metabolic syndrome, and microgravity sarcopenia also are on my study list; the common thread I am interested in pursuing in these varied conditions is mitochondrial energetics and dynamics.
