You are metabolic problem.

Great work Dave. So thankful for your efforts

Thanks Ms. Warren for sharing your story.

What did the Covid 19 vaccine do to trigger damage to the Mitochondria ??

What about ordering GTT fluid and doing your own test ?

Thank you all for sharing your experiences.

I have suffered from disease my whole life I have for autoimmune disorders now can I have the HLA B27 Gene for ankylosing spondylitis which started in grade school. I've had internal medicine and Rheumatology doctors 40 years no one ever mentioned this. Every organ in my body has something wrong with it. Depression was how I got my disability permanent disability. I do my best to hide it all from family. They hardly see me

My Dad who is 87 was losing his cognition. His memory was getting worse, and his train of thought wasn’t complete, with fragmented sentences which included irrelevant items. His ability to write his name on paper was not possible, when asked he would write a few lines which looked like chicken scratches. I got him started on a 18:6 intermittent fast, two meals a day. Breakfast at noon, and dinner at 6pm. Low carb diet (no bread, no potatoes, no pasta, no rice). It was a bit hard to convince my Mom who is also 87 and does all the cooking to keep this strict diet. One teaspoon of MCT oil and one teaspoon of coconut oil in the morning with coffee (now only taking MCT oil with coffee). Bacon, eggs, avocado and a bit of fruit in the morning. Monitored his blood sugar with CGM, and also measured his ketone levels with CKM and acetone breath meter. Remarkably, within one week his cognition started getting better. In a couple of weeks he could write and sign his name on paper with very high quality. Could draw an analog clock with correct hour and minute hands. He’s back to being able to log into his computer on his own, remembering his password and navigating windows to call me on Skype. Remarkable pivot in his cognition. This wasn't a clinical trial, but rather an N=1 experiment which worked for us. Reading the comments, there are others so there is something here. My N=1 experiment was sparked by this podcast. Thank you Dr. Mary Newport for continuing to talk about your experimenting with your husband and Metabolic Mind for this KZfaq channel.

Too diplomatic. Time to call the sugar nuts what they are. Also, it's time to recognize that keto works but often carnivore works even better.

They all have strong support networks, managed to have relationships, careers n young enough to still have families. What hope is possible for those whose lives are isolated from devastating consequences, is it only to live med free? No careers for those over 50, or possibly to become mom or dad, even if they get better through a ketogenic lifestyle. How did they afford their care, rent etc? How do you help those at the bottom who have to use social programs that are restricted by government regulations?

I'm not a so called "doctor" but any critical thinker would know this is true! When I worked in the prison as a LCSW on OPMH I developed a psychoeducation class teaching pts about their brains and the role nutrtion/hormonal/endocrine system plays in mental health ... one of the text books I used was Biological Psychology: An Introduction to Behavioral, Cognitive, and Clinical Neuroscience by S. Marc Breedlove (Author), Mark R. Rosenzweig (Author) and at that time I was using their 6th edition from 2010. One only had to work with medicated ppl a short time to know it was not the road to wellness... and actually descreased their quality of life after awhile.

Thank you for spreading awareness on metabolic interventions! They are life changing!

I’ve been on saxenda and works from a weight loss perspective but my depression is the worst it’s ever been to the point where I can’t function and have now stopped saxenda

Roadblocks

The keto ppl say you sleep less but then they also say you need 8 hours but im pretty sure most ppl on keto sleep around 5-6 hours tops including myself

Man this need so much more views, I’m from Germany. I wish I discover this 10 Years ago. ❤

The Bible teaches me and says a merry heart does good like a medicine.

It's been 47 days, and I have been gaining a bit of my shine slowly since day 1 of starting keto 🌟

Thank you so much. ❤

Great interview and fantastic to hear about this important and much needed research! Another step in the right direction for mental health. On another note, I just saw an interesting presentation by Dr. Richard Johnson. He presented research showing that many people with bipolar have been found to have very high fructose levels in the brain and the higher fructose levels correlated with hospitalisation rates. The pathway that fructose takes in the body suppresses the production of ATP in the mitochondria, also via inter-cerebral fructose production. While this is obviously meant to be a good thing -a survival mechanism, in today’s food environment it can have negative physical and mental health consequences. I found this fascinating as it gives another possible explanation as to why keto benefits many people with bipolar. Fructose and sugar intake (the body can convert sugar into fructose) is minimal, or excluded, on a ketogenic diet.

Well did most of these. He just said normal and slightly high cholesterol but hes not concerned about that. He knows I'm doing Keto. I think New Zealand doctors are a bit too relaxed...

I'm feeling great on Keto! My healthcare providers have been really supportive actually, this is gaining alot of traction, it's quite revolutionary really.

Search the internet for “ find a low-carb doctor near me” and “ find a keto doctor near me.” Several search engines will come up that you can use to find a doctor by specialty

I would be curious to hear why Wesley felt the need to still be on Lithium on the keto diet. I believe he said he decreased the number of other medications he was on but not that one

If anyone knows a psychiatrist in the Pacific Northwest that believes in Therapeutic Nutritional Ketosis I would love to get their contact info. I'm trying to convince my wife to try this Therapeutic approach to her Schizophrenia and Bipolar and Major Depression... I now have hope. Thank you panel for sharing your stories.

Yay 😁 I was hoping you would share this content!

It all speaks to me. For a few months, I've been going down on olanzapine super slowly while on keto and yes, the psychiatrist told me it's the illness returning when I was experiencing very concerning symptoms and I really freaked out but Nicole Laurent gave me hope and said we may never know why I experienced some really strong suicidality and some intense insomnia for a bit of time while on keto and tapering. The symptoms did pass and I continue to go down slowly without them returning so I am confident in keto, esp over time. My improvement is slow and winding but worth it. Still no psychosis or mania.

❤❤❤

Wesley mentioned his psychiatrist in Chicago was familiar with the keto diet. Would it be possible to get the name of that psychiatrist please? Thank you.

Indeed, so inspiring and educational. Definitely worth the time spent.❤

I'm an addictions counselor and have worked in mental health. Everyone needs to hear about this! Thanks to all the panelists for sharing their stories ❤

Where is best place to get info on a healthy keto diet, as in what to eat and in what quantities? I keep seeing great videos but never on what to eat and with which quantity and some meal examples

The tide is turning! 🌊

When i went on the carnivore diet, my LDL went from around 80-90 to 466. I'm 5'9 and 140 pounds, my triglycerides are below 50, high HLD and I'm very insulin sensitive..However..I've never put on muscle like this in my whole life, ive never felt so good, FINALLY pain free/ lowered my chronic pain. Everything was better on that diet, my depression, anxiety, sleep, brain fog..even when i switched to keto, things weren't as amazing, but still better than the doctor recommend diet..doctors dont make money when im sick, and i hate to say this, but id rather live a shorter happier life, than live to be 90 and be in pain every damn day. Its hard for people who've never been in chronic pain to get that.

Started keto for my Howard Hughes level severe OCD… going wel so far. Lauren may have partially saved my life by making her video about keto

Humans Need fatty meat

At 41:10, Lauren, did you mean Lorazepam? I've heard of Trazodone but not Lorazodone. Thank you!

Thank you Matt B! I have epilepsy. I have cut down my meds by 2/3 and 3/4. For the final bit I found your and your father’s 10% taper. Started first decline and all is going well. It will take a while but hopefully can drop the last little bit of the drugs.

47:03 yes!! This is how I was polydrugged into oblivion. I knew I was experiencing withdrawal effects and/or side effects. But who believes the person with the “mental illness”.

Here's a ChatGPT summary: - A lived experience panel was hosted at the Society of Biological Psychiatry (SOBP) conference in Austin, Texas. - The panel was introduced by Dr. Julie Milder and led by Jan Ellison Bazooki. - The panel included Hannah, Lauren, and Wes, who shared their personal journeys with mental illness and ketogenic therapy. - Lauren Kennedy West has a BA in social development studies and an honors bachelor of social work. She runs a KZfaq channel called Living Well with Schizophrenia. - Wesley Braden is a senior marketing manager at Fertile Health with a bachelor's degree in business managerial economics. - Hannah Warren works at Metabolik Mind and Bazooki Group as a mental health communications and advocacy manager. - Hannah shared her journey with bipolar disorder, including her first psychotic break at age 28, and how ketogenic therapy has been transformative for her. - Lauren discussed her experience with schizophrenia, her struggles with traditional treatments, and how ketogenic therapy has significantly improved her mental health. - Wes shared his experience with OCD and bipolar disorder, and how ketogenic therapy has provided him with a new sense of hope and agency. - The panelists emphasized the importance of integrating lived experiences into research and the potential of ketogenic therapy as a powerful intervention for mental health. - Main message: Ketogenic therapy has shown significant promise in improving the lives of individuals with mental disorders, offering hope and new avenues for treatment beyond traditional medications. (it probably butchered the spelling of a few names)

I’d love to know the difference in efficacy with medical keto vs carnivore. Medical keto appears to require perhaps a lot more variety, prep, and some decent cognitive capacity. Many thanks

What are you talking about? Everyone hasn't stated the problem for me to stay with you.

I have learned to best help people around me we each just have to become a lighthouse and not a fog horn.😊

Great to hear more talks in regarding mental illness. When I started the ketogenic way of living almost six years ago and having multiple benefits. My ketone levels have come way down from when I had started. Getting very mixed messages on how high my ketone levels need to be for clinical benefits.

This was amazing!

Amazing! You guys, made me cry🥹 I work with young adults who struggle with mental disorders and I will share it with them during my next groups with them.

I wonder if it would be beneficial for Westley to go full carnivore as mentioned in the change your diet, change your mind book by Dr. Ede, as more helpful to some people.

so awesome to hear their experiences as a person who's going through medical keto to treat my own paranoid schizophrenia, especially from lauren; who's videos gave me enough courage to do it myself! you three are cool; please stay safe and never surrender ❤

Oxidized ldl's creates plaque. Oxidized ldl's gets created by inflammation. Inflammation is mainly a component of metabolic disease + the amount of lipoprotein(a) your liver makes(which is genetic determined). So, in short, if your a metabolic healthy person and is genetically blessed with a very low level of lipoprotein(a)....the inflammation in your body will be very low and the amount of ldl's that will oxidize, will accordingly also be very low. This person could get away with elevated ldl's for a long time. Actually, latest research is showing, having very low lp(a) levels, will dramatically lower oxidation of ldl's just by itself. Your welcome! 😉

I practice 36 hour rolling fast continuously. According to the strips im always in ketosis. Would MCT oil benefit me?
