@BlackshepSusan The medication doesn’t fix a “chemical imbalance.” It numbs the mind and suppresses symptoms through side effects.

@matthewbaszucki That’s true. It is possible to have an athletic-looking physique at a young age while still having dangerous amounts of visceral fat surrounding your internal organs due to a poor diet.

@bright_har6612 @MSherisse64847 @Metabolic_Mind Fixing your gut health with probiotics and healing a 'leaky gut' can reduce brain inflammation which is a known trigger for severe mental health issues.

I’m not anti psychiatry. We just need a better system that helps everyone.

The average mental health patient has no power in any of the discourse happening. We have one side accusing another of being "fascist-adjacent," and another screaming "am not." Anyone who doesn't want to take meds or went through withdrawal is not automatically anti-psychiatry…

@KevinRo90321458 @ChrisPalmerMD Antibiotics can kill beneficial bacteria in your microbiome potentially triggering inflammation that affects both your body and brain.

This is how linemen connect 22,000-volt power lines without ever turning the electricity off. For extra high voltage lines, linemen often wear specialized conductive suits (Faraday suits) woven with metal fibers.

The psychiatry debate rages on, but you have to admit how incredible it is that we get to witness the debate firsthand from leading experts on both sides of the argument with platforms like X, instead of allowing the argument to be had and won in small, closed-door committees. For all the downsides of modern life and technology, this one is a win.

If we want to improve mental health care, psychiatrists need to be part of the conversation, not excluded from it. At the @APApsychiatric meeting this week, there was discussion about government efforts to influence or change prescribing practices for antidepressants and other psychiatric medications. Some psychiatrists voiced concern about what they see as “government interference” in clinical care. At the same time, there are many people who feel harmed by psychiatry, harmed by medications, or unheard by the mental health system. Their experiences matter too. Dismissing them is neither compassionate nor scientifically responsible. These tensions are real. Psychiatry has helped millions of people. It has also fallen short, or even harmed, others. Both things can be true. If we want meaningful reform, it cannot come from attacking psychiatrists, nor from psychiatrists becoming defensive and refusing criticism. Real progress will require humility, open scientific inquiry, honest discussion of benefits and harms, and collaboration among clinicians, patients, researchers, families, and policymakers. The goal should not be protecting institutions or ideologies. The goal should be helping people recover and live better lives.

This is WILD! MIT just solved one of the hardest unsolved problems in robotics (Save this). For decades, the fundamental problem with soft robots and wearable exoskeletons has not been compute or AI, it has been actuation. The moment you try to give a soft robot meaningful strength, you run into the same wall every engineer has hit since the field began, fluid-driven systems require external pumps, hydraulic reservoirs, and heavy infrastructure that makes the entire thing impractical to wear or embed into fabric. MIT's new Electrofluidic Fiber Muscles solve that problem by eliminating external infrastructure entirely. The key insight is electrohydrodynamic pumping using electric fields to generate pressure directly from electricity, with no moving parts, no motors, and no external fluid reservoir. The fibers are less than 2 millimeters thick, can be woven into fabric like ordinary textile, and operate in complete silence because nothing physically moves inside them, it is just ions propelling fluid through a closed circuit. The performance numbers published in Science Robotics are not conceptual, they are empirical results from actual hardware. These fibers achieve a power density of 50 watts per kilogram, matching skeletal muscle, with a contraction strain of 20% and a response time of 0.3 seconds. A single bundled configuration lifted 4 kilograms, 200 times its own weight while a separate configuration drove a robotic arm through a 40-degree bend compliant enough to safely complete a human handshake. Another configuration launched objects in under 100 milliseconds, which is faster than a human flinch reflex. The design mirrors biological muscle architecture in a way that prior artificial muscle approaches never achieved. The fibers are organized into antagonistic pairs, one contracts while the other extends, exactly like biceps and triceps and because the system runs in a closed loop, the relaxing fiber serves as the fluid reservoir for the contracting one, which is what allows the whole system to operate untethered with no external tank. The applications are not hypothetical but rather are the exact use cases the industry has been waiting years for the hardware to catch up to. Exoskeletons for physical labor, prosthetic limbs that move with the natural compliance of biological tissue, assistive garments for patients with motor disorders, and soft robots capable of safe physical contact with humans are all immediately unlocked by a muscle technology that is silent, lightweight, and weavable into clothing. The deeper significance is what this technology does when it meets the AI robotics wave that is already underway. Every major humanoid robot program, Figure, 1X, Boston Dynamics, Tesla Optimus is currently bottlenecked by the same hardware limitations these fibers address, actuators that are too rigid, too loud, too heavy, or too dependent on infrastructure to operate naturally alongside humans. Electrofluidic fiber muscles do not just solve a materials science problem but rather they remove one of the last physical barriers between robots that live in labs and robots that live in the world.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to present at the APA to a packed, standing-room-only audience on the metabolic theory of mental illness! Most psychiatrists are open-minded, smart, compassionate professionals eager to learn new strategies to help their patients.

If you're attending the American Psychiatric Association meeting or just happen to be in San Francisco, please join us on Sunday, May 17th, for a Metabolic Psychiatry Reception. It's FREE and a great opportunity to network and learn more about this incredible field.

Yes. Bring it to Azores.

Educational qualifications in Portugal only started rising significantly about 20 years ago. This means a large part of the population has lower qualifications which can affect productivity. Before jumping to conclusions about Portuguese people’s competence it’s important to understand Portugal’s recent history.
