We're proud to launch the Coalition for Metabolic Health. With seed funding from @janellison & @DavidBaszucki's $50M commitment to improving metabolic health, we're uniting leaders in science, medicine & advocacy to tackle America's chronic disease crisis:

This week, we're digging into the Dietary Guidelines for Americans—federal guidance that shapes school meals, government food programs, and dietary norms. We'll share graphics from CMH expert @bigfatsurprise and discuss how to align the DGA with the science on metabolic health.

In his new guide, physician and bestselling author @drmarkhyman explains why processed refined carbs leave us overfed yet undernourished—and how they came to dominate our food supply. Read more:

The EAT-Lancet Commission's 2025 report claims that a shift to plant-based diets is necessary for global health. CMH medical director @bschermd warns that this notion is not grounded in robust clinical evidence. Read our statement:

CMH member @TyRBeal offers reflections on the new EAT-Lancet 2025 Report, emphasizing why we need to prioritize nutrient adequacy across all dietary approaches to support human health. Read more of his thoughts:

The FDA and USDA are accepting public comments on how to define ultra-processed foods through October 23. Read the recommendations from our comment and show your support by submitting your own here: https://t.co/CDNMNd4NWF

Baszucki Group is proud to announce the six recipients of the first-ever Metabolic Psychiatry Scholar Award. This new initiative supports exceptional early-career scientists and clinicians working to advance understanding of the connection between metabolic health and mental

California just became the first state to ban certain ultra-processed foods from school meals. Our understanding is that the definition will be refined over the next months. Here's what research says about the worst ultra-processed foods for your health: https://t.co/DOOWPEm9y5

Cutting ultra-processed foods from our diets isn't enough. Even refined carbs like whole grain bread and pasta with no additives, along with sugar, fuel obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Read @bschermd's new blog post: "Beyond UPFs"

We've launched "From Our Medical Director" -- a new blog from cardiologist and metabolic health expert @bschermd. Check out his first post -- "Why We Need a Coalition for Metabolic Health" -- below. https://t.co/bklUZXhRPn

The notion of "ultra-processed" food is so complicated, not even @FDA knows how to define it. There's a simpler way: 👉Focus on the main health offenders – refined grains, sugar and other highly processed carbs In print today Free access (requires email) https://t.co/fP6VdfM3jy

There's a lot of debate over what foods qualify as ultra-processed. Does a homemade brownie count? In our comment to the @FDA & @USDA, we explain what the research shows and call for a focus on refined carbs, added sugars & additives.

A new op-ed by CMH member @bigfatsurprise explains why more Americans of all political persuasions are returning to diets built on nourishing, whole foods. Read more:

We're weighing in on @FDA & @USDA's call to define ultra-processed foods. Our recommendations? Avoid oversimplified labels and focus on science-backed harms to metabolic health, which most often result from refined carbs, added sugars & certain additives.

For years, the U.S. government wrongly blamed fat for obesity, diabetes & more. Now, ultra-processed foods are the new villain. CMH advisor @davidludwigmd warns in @washingtonpost that food bans based on shaky science risk repeating the low-fat mistake:

As we approach the release of the next Dietary Guidelines for Americans, CMH member @bigfatsurprise asks: are they really protecting us from chronic disease? Current guidance overlooks key evidence on low-carb diets, saturated fat & more.

Will targeting "ultra-processed food" make Americans (and the rest of the world) healthier? 👉I argue there is a better way. https://t.co/fP6VdfM3jy

Watch our Medical Director @bschermd break down some of the biggest health challenges Americans face, and how we can tackle them.

Statins 💊. PCSK9 inhibitors💉. Alzheimer’s disease🧠 & Cholesterol Controversies ❤️‍🔥 In today’s interview I sit down with double board-certified cardiologist & lipidologist @bschermd to unpack the science—and the dysfunctions in our medical system. It’s an eye-opening

So much of chronic disease is built on a foundation of poor metabolic health and the dysfunction of insulin, the master metabolic hormone.

Once again, showing the vast ignorance about what a ketogenic diet is and its physiological impact. This is a systemic problem that goes all the way down to medical education and certainly the way the media portrays it.
