  • Rebuilding Trust In Your Body After a Mental Health Setback

    Rebuilding Trust In Your Body After a Mental Health Setback
    Apr 3 2026

    Nurturing your relationship with yourself and your body can play a meaningful role in how you move forward from a mental health setback.

    Nicole Laurent shares a grounded, compassionate perspective on navigating setbacks. She explores how these moments can sometimes disrupt trust in ourselves, creating an internal tension that makes progress feel harder than it needs to be.

    She explores:

    • Why setbacks can shake trust in your body, and how to rebuild it
    • How to approach challenges with curiosity instead of self-judgment
    • Common triggers that can lead to going off track
    • How mindset and framing influence long-term success
    • How your relationship with food and your body can evolve over time

    The key takeaway: setbacks are part of the learning process. Reconnecting with the idea that your body is working toward balance can help you move forward with more clarity, confidence, and resilience.

    💡Learn more about navigating setbacks on the mental health journey in our blog: How to Bounce Back from Challenges and Setbacks.

  • Rethinking Cholesterol Risk: What Lean Mass Hyper-Responders Reveal

    Rethinking Cholesterol Risk: What Lean Mass Hyper-Responders Reveal
    Apr 1 2026
    Is high LDL cholesterol always a red flag?For a growing group of people known as Lean Mass Hyper-Responders (LMHRs), the answer might not be so black and white.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher unpacks the science and questions behind LMHRs—metabolically healthy, lean individuals who see a dramatic rise in LDL cholesterol after starting a ketogenic diet. Unlike people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), their elevated LDL occurs in a unique metabolic context: low insulin, high HDL, low triglycerides, excellent metabolic health, and comes on only after adopting a ketogenic diet.🔍 In this video, you'll learn:• What defines a Lean Mass Hyper-Responder• Why conventional cholesterol risk frameworks may not apply to LMHRs• The key differences between LMHRs and those with familial hypercholesterolemia• Why context, like insulin sensitivity and metabolic health, might matter• Why this phenomenon deserves thoughtful study, not assumptionsThis growing curiosity around LMHRs is the focus of a powerful new documentary: The Cholesterol Code. Featuring researchers, clinicians, and individuals living with this phenotype, the film challenges long-held beliefs about cholesterol, risk, and metabolic health, and opens the door to a more nuanced conversation🎬 Real change starts with real conversations. Join us in sharing The Cholesterol Code, a powerful film that challenges outdated thinking about cholesterol and heart health.

  • Can You Prevent Dementia? A Neuroscientist Explains

    Can You Prevent Dementia? A Neuroscientist Explains
    Mar 30 2026
    Are we destined for cognitive decline as we age, or do we have more control than we think?In this conversation, Dr. Bret Scher sits down with neuroscientist and researcher Dr. Tommy Wood to explore a powerful shift in how we think about brain health, aging, and dementia prevention.Dr. Wood challenges the common belief that cognitive decline is inevitable, highlighting how lifestyle, environment, and daily habits can meaningfully shape our brain’s trajectory over time. He introduces his “3S Framework”—Stimulus, Supply, and Support—to explain how brain function is built, maintained, and optimized across the lifespan.In this interview, you’ll learn:Why cognitive decline isn’t inevitableHow mindset and engagement can influence brain agingThe role of metabolic health and energy supply in brain functionHow nutrition, sleep, exercise, and social connection interact to support the brainWhere ketogenic therapy and ketones may fit into brain health and cognitive declineHow to navigate modern challenges like technology, AI, and information overload from a brain health perspectiveDr. Wood also shares insights from his upcoming book, The Stimulated Mind, offering a practical framework to help individuals “future-proof” their brain and stay sharp in an ever-changing world.The key takeaway: brain health isn’t about a single intervention. It’s about consistently engaging, fueling, and supporting the brain in ways that promote resilience over time.💡 To learn more about metabolic approaches to brain and mental health, visit metabolicmind.org or sign up fo the Metabolic Mind newsletter at metabolicmind.org/newsletter🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?
