My recovery from bipolar disorder was a grind.
I didn't just cut carbs and, whoop de doo, I was all better, no more mental illness. The metabolic recovery was MUCH bigger than keto.
-Taking ketone levels, trial & error, finally settling on carnivore
-Tapering meds using a compound pharmacy, going through the withdrawals, working with a psychiatrist
-Medication, prayer, & spiritual practice
-Therapy, sobriety, psychological work, CBT, etc.
-Focusing on relationships
-Limiting social media, TV, etc., reading old books instead
-Cutting out drugs, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine
-Physical exercise, weights, walking, time outside
Today, you'd have no idea I have a 'bipolar disorder' diagnosis. My psychological health has transformed since my hospitalizations in 2016-2018.
But it did not happen overnight. It was a slow, methodical recovery.
The first RCT of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder is now published!
Compared to diet as usual, keto participants were more likely to experience:
✅ Improved metabolic health (weight, HbA1c, and
insulin resistance)
✅

ひと夏滞在したいけどお別れです。
最後に滞在中一番美しい朝焼けに出会えました。
ありがとう、シャモニー。
アルプスマーモット、夏を楽しんでね!
Merci, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. Au revoir et à bientôt.
