Years ago, I learned of a published case study describing how a ketogenic diet helped @Carobeckwith recover from a 15-year battle with anorexia. Today's newly published research is a direct result of Caroline and her family's valiant journey, and their determination to help

During winter cleaning today I finally dealt with drawers full of supplements we tried for our son when he was battling bipolar 1. I am mortified at the number of protocols I dragged him through over 5 years—that didn’t work. That’s not even counting trials of 29 different

Our son would still be suffering from debilitating bipolar disorder if we had not stumbled upon @ChrisPalmerMD's work back in 2020. The resulting metabolic therapy our son started in 2021 flipped the food pyramid on its head with a medical ketogenic diet. Within 4 months, his

I still pinch myself when our son drops by for dinner and TV on the odd Sunday night. Last night it was the new episode of Succession & the world chess tournament. You can't imagine what it's like to fear you've lost a child to mental illness then to have them recover so

There were years when our son was so unwell with Bipolar I that we couldn't go on a family vacation. There were times he was so sedated from medications he would not leave his room. It's been a miracle to see him in true form again for more than 2 years. #KetoForMentalHealth

Evidence is accumulating on the health benefits of ketogenic diet, including a profound reshaping of metabolism in as little as 3 weeks. I will post the actual study when it is final with more details. But the conclusion should whet appetites.
