My Ketogenic Therapy Recovery Is Now Peer-Reviewed Science – What This Means for Psychiatry

A peer-reviewed case study documenting my and one other patient's full recovery from schizoaffective disorder using ketogenic metabolic therapy was just published! In this video, I sit down with Nicole Laurent, the lead author of the case report (and my keto coach!), to discuss what this means for mental health research and the future of metabolic psychiatry. We talk about: ✔️ The key findings from the case study ✔️ Why case studies matter in psychiatric research ✔️ How ketogenic therapy led to full remission in both cases ✔️ Nicole’s larger case series & how to participate ✔️ Overcoming skepticism from doctors 🔗 Read the full case report here: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/... 🔗 Learn more about Nicole’s work & consultations: https://mentalhealthketo.com/ 🔗 Interested in participating in Nicole’s study? https://mentalhealthketo.com/ketogeni...
