Lifestyle Brain Interaction

At LBI research group, we investigate the interaction between lifestyle and the brain in health and disease across lifespan, with a special focus in nutrition and ketosis.

​The term 'interaction' is a deliberate expression of our belief in the dynamic, two-way relationship between lifestyle and the brain. What you eat, how active you are, and whether you use substances such as alcohol, drugs and tobacco, clearly influence your brain.

​Conversely, if you're dealing with conditions like depression or dementia, your brain affects the choices you make in your lifestyle.

Research

​Our research delves into the interplay of various lifestyle factors, with a special focus on nutrition and ketosis. On the brain part, our expertise spans cognitive performance, metabolic psychiatry, and healthy aging.
​
Besides conducting research, we are also driven by a broader purpose to bridge the gap between the knowledge cultivated by researchers and its accessibility to the wider world.
