You look very happy in this video. I think Medical Keto and running is really working for you. No trials necessary- you and Dr. P. seem to have proved it!
You give me hope! I suffer from schizoeffective and I have been doing medical keto for 3 weeks now and I am almost symptom free. I feel great and I’m continuing to follow your lead in the videos! You have helped me so much Lauren thank you for your bravery! I believe in you
it's amazing how fast you can tell a difference, isn't it? Just a bit of caution, if you are new to medical keto - if you want a "cheat" meal, or happen to have a slip up, the revert back to original state is nearly instantaneous. Whether it's physical pain, mental symptoms, diabetic issues etc. There are a lot of unsuspected factors that can knock you out of ketosis, such as medicines (for example cough syrup), fillers in foods etc. The biggest tell that I've been knocked out of ketosis is fluid retention. I experience incredible abdominal bloating as my muscles swell with glycogen. In the beginning of my journey, I had like 3 bites of a birthday cake I bought for my FIL. When I got on the scale the next morning, I had gained 8 lbs overnight. I was holding an entire gallon of water, which means I must have drank over a gallon of water in the prior 1-2 days and just never expelled any of it. I didn't notice I wasn't going to the bathroom because we were on the road. Nowadays, I get on the scale every morning and every night, to closely monitor for retention. For me, it's a great indicator. It's normal for our weight to fluctuate 2-5 lbs per day, depending on size (I'm 5'10 and 185 lb). Any more than 5 lbs and I know I have a problem. Please do your best to prepare for these instances. You can get yourself back into ketosis within 24-72 hrs (fasting helps a lot, but that's not reasonable with many medications). But there may be periods of sudden, unexpected struggle and symptom recurrence. I wish you the most success on your keto journey, friend! It's a wonderful tool for overall wellness. Cheers 😊
Great job! You should feel so very proud of yourself. You inspire me! I have a teenage son with schizophrenia and your videos mean a lot to me and have taught me so much.
You are an impressive human Lauren and your family is beautiful. Congratulations on so many accomplishments, you are inspirational to so many people for various interests! 🥰
4:40 - I'm sure classical psychologists would have a lot to say about the positive bonding experience with your dad being something that itself helps shore up your foundations for weathering the challenges of mental illness. Congratulations on this wonderful accomplishment!
I'm a long time viewer, but this is my first time commenting. Wow, what an incredible journey you're on. And the ways in which you and Rob are inspiring all of us to be better and get better each and every day, is profoundly healing. Thank YOU!
@@BPDBRETT nobody says it happened because of keto. The message here is that keto didn't at all impede Lauren's ability to race a triathlon, despite the common misconception that the body needs carbs for endurance performance.
@@Baysha1000 Obviously it impeded her performance. To know how much she would have to do the same race on carbs another day. It did not stop her from managing to get through a sprint triathlon, which it should not obviously. A sprint tri is not such a long endurance event, each part is regarded as short in their respective sports, a 20km ride is basically nothing for a cyclist, and a 5km run is nothing for a former ultrarunner. Most trained people can do this distance without fuel on the way, but will do better with some carbs and water, and being carbed up before the start.
You're an inspiration. Everyone can live their best lives and do what they want to do. I've been watching your channel for months now and you have taught me to keep going. I was previously diagnosed with bpd, bipolar depression, ptsd, and anxiety. I had psychotic symptoms whenever I was doing very bad mentally. I found out later that I was misdiagnosed and I actually had adhd and everything I was going through was due to trauma and untreated adhd. I'm doing way better, and I thank you for keeping me going because otherwise I don't know where I would have been.
Hi Lauren I look at almost all your videos and they always give me hope Please please don’t rush to stop your meds as I am in this situation Just enjoy the life you have build You don’t need to do it for the science you should enjoy your great life With all my love
You look fantastic!! So happy! I think we can all say we've seen the change since you've embraced keto. Congratulations... that takes a lot of discipline! Thanks for your many contributions to the mental health community. 🙂
This video was so well done! I really enjoyed it (cinematography and content) despite not being interested because, well I have no interest in triathlongs/marathons. I don't like running. I'm so happy that you're making dreams come true thanks to keto!!! YayyyY!
It’s so great that your husband is so dedicated to this and your sports and Keto and stuff. My family doesn’t get what I have- I’m not even sure m-my boyfriend doesn’t believe me any way I’m too tired
I've been too busy to watch a lot of content lately. But i like to check in and see your progress, as I've been using ketosis (high protein, low carb, moderate fat) to manage various physical and mental health conditions for over 5 years. It's awesome to see you're thriving (as much as can reasonably be expected these days, amirite?) Thank you again for sharing your experiences with us. Ignore the trolls. You are doing great!
Wow that's crazy good for you I used to do lots of running and track and field when I was younger and other sports unfortunately I've hurt my legs a few times no and I'm a bit older so I've had to slow down on some things but I can still do some things I can still work out but have to take it easy so I don't re injuer my legs I just got back into ice skating and a bit of other stuff so that's good it's great to see you out there doing that it really is an inspiration good for you makes me want to keep going with my skitzofrenia too thanks 😊
I hate not being in the running anymore. Like it ruins my mental and health and weight and everything. Some sort of knee issue the past several months now gaining weight and still have the issue. It’s hell and I’m wondering if I can take meds to lose weight and be alive again.
Wow that sounds alot like me I gained alot of weight and feel down a ditch and hurt my knee and led to repetitive injuries cause my leg was week it's been a long rode but I've kept going and got alot of it back I just have to be careful I don't go to fast but it's coming back because I've kept trying keep trying
Excellent achievement, a real game changer and hope instilling. Now the medical establishment need to conduct trials and publish research that’s peer reviewed to establish treatments protocols for medical keto diet that’s cost effect and accessible to wider demographic and socioeconomic status. Keep up the good fight ☺️
Bazuki Group is funding research in this domain. The medical establishment would never want to put money toward this, unless it's to study drugs that can mimic ketosis.
Medical keto has always been around- ages- for epilepsy, add, ASD, bipolar, etc. it makes sense- not a panacea but would certainly help to some degree in allcases.
Can you please pray for me. My brain and body are not ever in a good place and I’ve been doing every th king for years/ wondering if God wants me stricken -since now I haven’t been able to run for three months. This truly affects my mental health and I don’t know what else to do. I’m scared. Please pray for me. Wasting my life and one day I can walk, the next I’m asleep
Congrats! Can you share what your cholesterol levels are at this point? Asking as I have heart disease and OCD so cholesterol levels are very very critical for my health. I already had a massive MI at age 36 but I am intrigued by your progress and will consult my cardiologist before trying. The Mediterranean diet is my go to. So proud of your progress and I hope you can sustain better health for yourself and your family. You are inspiring, strong and very intelligent and I wish you well as you pursue your passion for exercise and mental health education.
That was great. Loved this video. My almost daily bicycling is really keeping me not just physically fit, but also mentally motivated and active handling my every day stresses and fears. I am scheduled for the L Etape Tour De France Las Vegas next year, and I want to be on the podium for my age class this time ( I was 5th out of 10 in the 25 mile race last year : ) . It is those community events among sporty regular everyday people, that make things fun and healthy.
I love that you're doing so well, Lauren! I've been watching your channel since the very, very beginning and it's been great to see you grow! I do hope that you continue to make other schizophrenia and mental health related content,rather than solely making keto videos.
Thanks for sharing your perspective on endurance fueled by keto physiology. Most perspectives on this choice are whether or not established endurance elites with no apparent health issues see any performance improvement when switching from a traditional high carb diet to low carb but not low enough to be keto, which is not helpful to me as recreational endurance runner who uses keto for metabolic issues associated with type 2 diabetes. Your content has encouraged me to keep working to figure out the best foods to fuel my hours on feet. Finding the metabolic path to being well is an endurance event in itself, and it comes with invaluable finishers swag. Our future selves will be thankful that we are training through this now.
I totally understand that weird feeling from getting of the bike and then trying to run ...its been over 20 years since I have done a Triathlon ( 2 I have completed) and I will never forgot the feeling of my legs not working for me , wobbly feeling, heavy feeling, just weird. But such a great thing to do. Nowdays I just walk for exercise.🙂
Congratulations ❤🎉❤🎉❤ur a star women amd Congratulations rob.❤🎉❤ u guys seem closer as a couple since ur keto journey began and jave such fun keep smiling and have a lovely week 😊 ❤
Re: the cramp you get- please ask about ox bile to assist your gallbladder. I’m not telling you to take it but as someone doing carnivore (without a gallbladder), I occasionally get those type of pains and compensate with ox bile because of the higher fat content of the diet. You did a fantastic job and I’m really proud of your journey and your willingness to share it with us! 💚
Exercise regrows the hippocampus in the brain , which is shrunken to some degree in most mental illnesses. It was great to learn that. keto diet for those that can follow it, is great for healing the brain coupled with exercise. if any trauma needs to be healed out of the amygdala to remove anxiety from the body first to have a pain free body to start exercising, shadow work, trauma therapy etc is a good place to start.
The subject matter of this video reminded me of you talking about being in an episode and running from your husband and he tried to catch you on a bike and still couldnt keep up. Lol
This was great to watch, Lauren! Congratulations on your triathlon accomplishment. I love seeing people going after their big dreams. ⭐️🏆 I would be interested in more sports related content on the channel. Was wondering if you’d consider including some opinions from people with chronic illness and chronic fatigue, as I find a lot of the information out there on exercise for these conditions is uninformed, ableist, and honours theory/short term trials as opposed to lived experience.
Carbs are used quite fast when doing long distance anyway. Carbs are still good fast energy. Living keto might still mean you have carbs since 50% of protein is transferable. Amino acids are used in a process called gluconeogenesis, which produces glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.
A healthy human body (on a high carb diet) runs out of glycogen after about 2 hours of intensive activity, then the fuel source should slowly transition to the body fat and ketones made from it. I consider myself lucky to have had a first hand experience of this happening in my teens. I simply rode my bike for the whole afternoon without taking any food with me. At first, I got feelings of weakness after my glycogen had run out (I was metabolically unhealthy as a teen, imagine that, and I wasn't even overweight) but it got better after a few months of training.

I have noticed in doing any go-hard endurance sports with people that have been on pretty strict keto for quite awhile, their sweat often seems to put a whiff of ammonia around them.

You look very happy in this video. I think Medical Keto and running is really working for you. No trials necessary- you and Dr. P. seem to have proved it!
Really enjoy these times with your Dad. Those days are always fleeting
You give me hope! I suffer from schizoeffective and I have been doing medical keto for 3 weeks now and I am almost symptom free. I feel great and I’m continuing to follow your lead in the videos! You have helped me so much Lauren thank you for your bravery! I believe in you
it's amazing how fast you can tell a difference, isn't it?
Just a bit of caution, if you are new to medical keto - if you want a "cheat" meal, or happen to have a slip up, the revert back to original state is nearly instantaneous. Whether it's physical pain, mental symptoms, diabetic issues etc.
There are a lot of unsuspected factors that can knock you out of ketosis, such as medicines (for example cough syrup), fillers in foods etc.
The biggest tell that I've been knocked out of ketosis is fluid retention. I experience incredible abdominal bloating as my muscles swell with glycogen.
In the beginning of my journey, I had like 3 bites of a birthday cake I bought for my FIL. When I got on the scale the next morning, I had gained 8 lbs overnight.
I was holding an entire gallon of water, which means I must have drank over a gallon of water in the prior 1-2 days and just never expelled any of it. I didn't notice I wasn't going to the bathroom because we were on the road.
Nowadays, I get on the scale every morning and every night, to closely monitor for retention. For me, it's a great indicator. It's normal for our weight to fluctuate 2-5 lbs per day, depending on size (I'm 5'10 and 185 lb). Any more than 5 lbs and I know I have a problem.
Please do your best to prepare for these instances. You can get yourself back into ketosis within 24-72 hrs (fasting helps a lot, but that's not reasonable with many medications). But there may be periods of sudden, unexpected struggle and symptom recurrence.
I wish you the most success on your keto journey, friend! It's a wonderful tool for overall wellness. Cheers 😊
@@kylebell9846 can you please share how and what your meals/ foods are? Thanks

You are truly helping others by your willingness to share your experiences living with a mental illness. We need more people like you!
Thank you for being here to inspire us all! 🤟
Great job! You should feel so very proud of yourself. You inspire me! I have a teenage son with schizophrenia and your videos mean a lot to me and have taught me so much.
I really hope he's able/will be able to manage his illness as well as Lauren! 🙏❤ (or even better!)

This didn’t happen because of Keto. Lauren has been an endurance athlete for a big chunk of her life and used to run ultramarathons.

I would be interested in more sports related content on the channel.

Well done!!🎉 It's a good reminder for me to get back into it. I like to run in the dark where nobody can see me suffering 😅
Carbs are used quite fast when doing long distance anyway. Carbs are still good fast energy. Living keto might still mean you have carbs since 50% of protein is transferable. Amino acids are used in a process called gluconeogenesis, which produces glucose from non-carbohydrate sources.
Congrats on finishing!
Bravo! I have only one Aquathlon (1.5 km swim, 10 km run).
You look wonderful and so happy!
Wow! Prof Noakes will be proud!!
So glad it is helping you 😊

I have noticed in doing any go-hard endurance sports with people that have been on pretty strict keto for quite awhile, their sweat often seems to put a whiff of ammonia around them. I think it is from the kidneys trying to break down excess protein to power all the activity, but I'm not a metabolic specialist so I don't know for sure what the cause would be.
Been around keto and carnivore athletes and never noticed that
Well done best wishes.❤
So so so lucky no injuries. I’m so angry about my knee/ don’t run for the first time and it’s been three months now…. I want my life back ❤
How cool!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
