How to do the keto diet for mental illness (beginner's guide) #2: The metabolic health picture
リアクション
2026年04月09日
In this second episode of Keto University, I cover the full metabolic framework for serious mental illness: bipolar, schizophrenia, schizoaffective, and depression.
I share my own story: four hospitalizations, five medications, treatment-resistant bipolar — and how a ketogenic diet in 2021 stopped my manic episodes cold. Then I break down why this works: insulin resistance in the brain, how ketones bypass that problem, and the full toolkit of metabolic therapies that can put mental illness into remission.
