We are starting research on our literature review of the connections between dietary recommendations, dietary patterns, and violent behavior. We are using Zotero for reference management and it seems to be going well.

There are some promising links to get us started:

• Soft Drinks Consumption is Associated with Behavior Problems in 5-Year-Olds
• Cholesterol and violence: is there a connection?
• Experts Say Food May Contribute To Anger, Violent Behavior
• Low cholesterol and violent crime

We presented our concept of bringing metabolic interventions to correctional facilities! Everyone seemed to agree that it is needed and that changing this system would go a long way towards improving society as a whole.

Thank you to everyone who stopped to chat and who signed up to volunteer!

Welcome to the blog for our group, Healing Institutions. We hope to recruit people who are passionate about metabolic health and healing people become their best selves. We hope that we can get research published showing the need for metabolic interventions in correctional institutions. We hope most of all to inspire meaningful reforms in an environment that so desperately needs it. If you would like to join us in this challenge, please visit our volunteer page to sign up.

Thank you!
