Metabolic Mind | Keto for Bipolar: Stories of Hope on #WorldBipolarDay @metabolicmind | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Michael Belanger, Robyn Dobbins, Chloe Lee, Mia Mendez and Dyane Harwood all treated bipolar disorder with ketogenic therapy and experienced transformational results. In this video, they share their incredible stories, providing inspiration and hope to anyone looking to try this cutting-edge form of treatment.
In this video, there are references to former struggles with suicidal ideation that may be disturbing to some viewers. For support, please call the 988 Lifeline network, available 24/7 across the United States.
Implementing ketogenic therapy for a diagnosed psychiatric condition is best done with the guidance of a clinical care team. Research is currently ongoing, but early data shows that while many people see considerable benefits, individual results may vary.
