I have spent over 35 years helping people with Schizoaffective Disorder...watching this makes me cry with joy!! Finally something that is really helping quality of life!!
My daughter struggled with mental health and chronic pain. I wish I had known about the ketogenic diet before she died from a drug overdose. As a nurse, I felt so helpless trying to help her. I understand where you are coming from.
Lauren and Hannah ❤. Hearing your stories has given me a lot of hope in living with depression. I can't thank you enough 🙏🙏🙏 I too have been attempting a Keto diet. Compared to living with some of the awful psychiatric symptoms its been pretty easy shifting to low carb. I too am quietly hopefull that this might be a game changer in managing my MH. Much love from Scotland 🌈🦋 xx
Thank you for sharing your story. I hope this helps spreads the word that you can do things like diet and lifestyle to improve our own health even faced with serious mental illness.
I follow Laura on social media, and this has me so excited for her and her future! It makes me hopeful for my own children suffering from mental health disorders.
Thank you all so much for this excellent podcast and great information. I have been following Lauran for several months and watching your podcast, Metabolic Mind. I live with Bipolar with psychotic features and have, along with Lauran, a month ago gone on a medical Keto diet. I have experienced a significant improvement in my symptoms. As of yesterday, I have reduced my antipsychotics under my doctor's approval. Thank you all so much. I finally have hope for a better life.
Lovely to see that it seems to be working! I share Hannah's enthusiasm that this is a huge event for metabolic therapies, seeing it documented in this way. Lauren who I am sure will improve terrifically could also potentially help so many others
Wonderful interview with great interviewers! I've been following her journey and gotten some tips for my own recent keto life to manage my mental condition - I just started meeting with Nicole too, hoping to get better results as we work through my issues because, no it is not always an immediate success so I'm hopeful to hear more stories and take it day by day. Thank you for sharing!!
I recovered entirely on my own and no one is interested since the recovery didn’t require other people. I totally did not expect that. I thought people would want to know how I made a complete recovery.
@@metabolicmind I figured out that I had to not believe in my hallucinations and delusions because whenever I would get in an argument the hallucinations would go off into the background and then slowly return. I simply began to ignore them and they lost their power over me.
I started low carb (not quite medical keto) a week after she started her journey. I need to lose weight and thats a plus, however, I really did it to feel better. Having Crohn's, and pituitary andenomas that effect my moods, ability to deal with stress, and thyroid. I was feeling horrible with tons of symptoms from aging. I am experiencing a mix of benefits and struggles that both her and Rob are experiencing. I am seeing so many changes for the better at this point that I am excited to see were we are in 6 months. I hate the planning part of food so I use an app and a food service that helps me get over all the hatred for cooking and food planning.
So impressive!!! Sending this on.... I had followed up on Lauren and her interesting blog. I also had discovered Dr. Chris Palmer's book and then as a consequence Metabolic Mind. I had a close relative, dear to my heart, who suffered from Schizophrenia . So that's why I take an interest. I am so impressed y the changes Lauren experienced. It is really impressive and incredible that Lauren is becoming the person she always was inside and always wanted to be. The same is true for Hannah and others who had this astounding success with shifting their diet. Heartfelt congratulations from my side for this!!! This is really beautiful to see!! Impressed also of Rob, Lauren's spouse, who is a bright light and so supportive.
Wow! This is such an impactful and moving message. These two women are amazing and thankfully willing to share their experiences with the ketogenic diet. Thank you.
Thanks to Lauren I am now in ketosis (bipolar 1) and shocked at the difference in mood, energy, and pain levels. Not too hard to switch and no cravings. My pdoc and health care team are very supportive and learning with me.🎉
The stigmatising also comes from psychiatrists and those who should no better when they apply an accusatory tone to describe uncontrollable symptoms. Eg. "You are aggressive, argumentative, angry, difficult..." As if a cardiologist would criticise their patient for complaining of chest pain!
I have a child recently diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder. I have used Keto to repair some of my metabolic problems. I'm thrilled to think this could help my child as well. thank you
marathons are not really something people who need to heal still should be doing. Could be a major setback. Exercise for healing is far different than doing a marathon.
I am so glad you are following Lauren's progress! If you are interested in seeing other individuals who have had success with this treatment, please check out this page of our website: www.metabolicmind.org/my-metabolic-mind
Thanks for your question! Right now, there is not enough research to answer this question, and it appears to vary depending on the individual. Anecdotally, there appear to be individuals who can go off of the diet and stay stable, as well as people who experience mental symptoms when they go off of the diet, even after an extended period. There is a need for ongoing research to better understand the neurobiology of this intervention, including individual treatment response.
@@noahr2397 her videos are just banal platitudes about getting enough sleep, drinking plenty of water and diet and exercise that any elementary school student could write as an essay. They are bland, tame and conservative videos.
@@Vincent-mindeye it's not just a basic diet change. Keto is a full metabolic shift where big changes in brain chemistry will happen. It's a powerful medical Intervention.
Schizoaffective disorder is basically a form of schizophrenia but it’s not exactly the same. As a former full blown schizophrenic I wouldn’t know what to recommend other than to reject whatever delusions and bad thoughts that you might have. I can say that auditory and visual hallucinations and delusions are not your friend. Maybe the diet helps to help focus on reality.

I'm so happy more people are finding their way to keto. It's amazing what it can do!

I like the ritual of the soda water in the wine glass.
Very impressed by Hannah's habit of leisurely run.
Well done to both of you.

Congratulations!
I Think it is truer to say metabolic illness which affects the mind. Rather than mental illness.
Hannah is right when she talks about illness.
much love and respect for both these incredible women.

Keto helped my mental health so much thanks to chris palmer our docs are waste of time

How did you make a complete recovery? Congratulations on your success!

A lot of changes in habits of thought processes have to be made to fully recover. Full recovery isn’t very common but it is possible.
thank you for following the process!

Wished i could send out a live hug… I’m keto by choice but consider these folks as heroes.
Awesome episode!
This is so heartwarming ❤ Peace to all light warriors 😊
❤❤❤👍

If Lauren does well for a year then maybe I will try Keto.

Strong people 💪💪
Hannah, can you get off the Keto diet and remain free from bipolar disorder? Or do you have to remain on Keto for life?

@@metabolicmind Thanks for answering!
Another conservative video 🙄
What do you mean by conservative? How is the video conservative?

Hmmm … I wonder if any of this is at all related to allergy issues. It’s almost as if some folks cannot digest carbs.
