Thank you! I recommend you get Morley Robbins on your show for an interview. He wrote Cu-re Your Fatigue, and explains how copper and magnesium are essential for mitochondrial function. He also explains the surprising ubiquitous things in the food and medical system that deplete both copper and magnesium. Neither are present in NPK fertilizer, so they are not added back to the soils. 0+0 = 2, apparently. PS - ATP does NOT work unless a magnesium is attached. Mg-2+ATP is the true energy currency of the cell. Cytochrome c oxidase is named after the color copper atoms give it. Copper needs to be complexed in its carrier protein - ceruloplasmin - before it can be transported to the mitochondria. ATP7B is the enzyme that loads the copper, and it requires magnesium and retinol to do it. Neither copper and magnesium are listed on the nutrition propaganda labels - they are actually processed out of the food supply. The book Drug Muggers reveals that magnesium is depleted by many medications.
@@AjAj-yb2zb You will find it tied to processed food ingestion, and it is causitive. Maybe not 100%, but it is significant. Dr. Chris Palmer is using diet to reverse BPD, schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. There are no rusty iron filings and toxic seed oils in his recovery diet, nor excess carbohydrate that the damaged and depleted mitochondria can no longer process efficiently. There was a study that injected 30 schizophrenics with ceruloplasmin-bound copper and 13 had complete remission. Another 13 had a significant improvement. What did the second shot do? Injecting ceruloplasmin into humans is now a crime. Morley Robbins is the best advocate for rebuilding ceruloplasmin status in the human body naturally. Dr. Chris Knobbe explains the toxicity of ubiquitous seed oils. Metallic iron filings, toxic seed oils and nutrient depleted food were never a part of an ancestral diet. Dance with the diet that brought your family line here… or risk losing badly in someone else’s experiment.
In my view, this guy is a slick salesman. My take - save yourself time, money, and most importantly - self esteem. Full disclosure: never bought anything he offers, just my instinct. Seems obvious to me. I could always be wrong, so, of course, your own judgement.
10 yrs I was pescatarian, 2 years ago I went keto pescatarian and lost 25 kilos and did an eating window of 16/8 . I felt amazing more energy. 6 months ago I went carnavore and started eating red fatty meat, butter, eggs, bacon and I now feel like I'm age reversing, my brain fog gone my body aches and high blood pressure gone, my gut reaching anxiety gone. I will never eat anything that my body can not process ever again im in my 60s and feel better now than I did in my 30s.
I agree. It is very powerful and she is incredibly articulate in the way she's describing her experience. Just the narrative and the choice of words she utilizes inspires compassion. You can't help but love her story and respect her as a person, with her raw depiction of what it means to experience mental illness.
I’ve always had tremendous empathy and insight for everyone struggling with mental illnesses. It’s common sense to understand that mental illness is a legitimate and serious illness just as physical illness is.
Amazing interview. My daughter died at 23 battling mental issues and turning to all kinds of drugs and activities for relief. I wasn't even aware of this topic at the time. Breaks my heart that their was hope for her too and it was to late. Thank you for sharing.
You are on one of the toughest paths any human being could ever walk. Yet, I can still feel the deep love you have for her. I can tell you in all my time working as a psychiatric RN, in the past 17 years - I did not know about this. Recently, I worked at children's emergency for six years and worked with kids under 19 years old, most of whom were struggling with mental illness, substance use d/o, and suicidal ideation. I know the feeling of being helpless and not knowing how to support clients who were battling mental illness to recover. I didn't have an answer for them or for their bewildered and lost parents who were wracked with guilt, fear, worry, pain, and absolute horror. It was heart breaking, and at times incredibly demoralizing to be a witness to such deep human suffering of both the kids and the parents. Just in the past year or so I came across metabolic therapies and took completed a course so I can be more part of the solution. I have something of value and substance to offer my kiddos and their parents now. I'm haunted by the memory of those who are no longer with us but I also feel I can honor their lives by offering this new approach to those who are in need today. I hope you have some support for yourself. I'm glad you are here engaging in this community. Thank you for sharing your story with us here. Warm Regards, Neseret
I cried a lot when Hanna talked about Andrew. As a depressive + anxious + ADHD woman, I know how life can be hard when you have mental health problem(s). I am back on keto for 11 days now, and I force myself to stick to it despite ADHD because this "dietary therapy" is the only solution for me. I've tried several others, but keto gave me my life back like nothing else. When you've been depressed and sometimes suicidal for the great part of your life (30 years as far as I'm concerned) keto seems to be a miracle. Nope, sorry, I mean : keto IS a miracle.
I'm so glad to hear you are on a path of recovery and determined to take care of yourself. Following dietary guidelines can seem overwhelming in the beginning, but when you experience the advantages for yourself, it becomes a no-brainer, or I guess I should say, it becomes a brainer, brain energy brainer.
Thank you @@jodydavison33 !! I agree with you, so much. It's a no brainer. When I felt that Keto released my depression, I just had tears of joy. I was in 2018. 26 years of hopelessness resolved in a month... With ketones ! Oh my 🥲 Now I'm back on keto (day 14) and I won't NEVER go back again. Carbs are a waist of time for me. Everytime I eat "normally" (even with real food) my depression ADHD and anxiety worsen and my life is a mess..
Wow. I'm so sorry you suffered for so long. I had a 13 year nightmare with antidepressant induced bipolar disorder and holistic lifestyle interventions and ketogenic diet was the miracle. I totally agree. I have my life back and feel better than I have ever felt before. I share my harrowing journey in "Confessions of a Psych Nurse." I also now have completed a program in Metabolic Psychiatry to guide people through the same process. As a Psychiatric RN in the conventional system for 17 years, I felt limited in how much I could help people. Now I have so much more to offer. I feel so grateful to have come across this information and community. I feel blessed.
Well I'm still suffering@@NeseretBemient I am waiting to get back to keto adaptation ! Most of the time, I have tp wait till 40th day to help that happen. Still waiting... I am on day 17 ! I'm so glad to read that you get your bipolar into remission !! After 13 years, wow 😯 🙏 How many grams of carb are you at ?
@@Iris.gokaltayThat's tough but you sound like you are committed to making it work. I don't count carbs but it's pretty low. I focus on high fat, and moderate protein. I keep my ketones between 1.8-2.5 range and that seems to work really well.
For people who are seriously mentally ill, especially those who hear voices or experiencing paranoia and /or cognitive decline, it would be so helpful to put this information in a clear & simple format. Thank you for this excellent podcast.
Until the 1950s, Harry Stack Sullivan would have intense conversations with a patient - to find out 2 or 3 problems he was having. He then arranged some remedies and musical Talent Training. Peter Breggin, Madan Katara and Howard Glasser offer this kind of training today!@@thewordsmithsdaughter
There is so much potential for healing. There are a thousand ways to heal and it shouldn't just present one or two options to people. All options and paths need to be explored - until the person feels better. The potential for human thriving is unlimited.
Became manic depressive from stopping an RX suddenly...became mute, hallucinating, etc. hospitalized and told people don't get better with diagnosis i had ..get institutionalized...BUT GOD had other plans... healing☺️✝️🇺🇸 USA veteran
How are you doing now? There are a thousand paths to healing - not just medication and therapy. Spirituality and faith are powerhouses that are forgotten in psychiatry. What helped you heal?
This interview needs to be shared everywhere! Hannah’s story is so powerful! I found Brain Energy on Dec 17 2022. Started therapeutic keto Dec 18, 2022. Changed everything! Changed ALL the things! Dr. Georgia Ede too as mentioned in this podcast. Seriously I had lost hope and with a background in nutrition/dietetics had tried everything but this. “Hannah has her life back”. Table for two. Actually waaaaay more than we knew about a year ago!!!Groundbreaking research/education by Metabolic Mind and Baszucki Brain Trust. Truly changing the world! I’m beyond grateful!! Hannah thank you for being so vulnerable and part of the solution!
This is wonderful. I’m a parent - a friend- and a high school teacher. The trifecta for empathy and understanding. I wish this is what we watched in health class in 6th grade and every trade after. We need to educate students - so they go home and say mom “ I don’t want the Doritos” I know it’s more than that. But there needs to be a shift. I have brilliant and sensitive students who are suffering with mental illness - and diabetes- and they aren’t heavy. So how is it that we can have such brilliant people hurting themselves on the daily.
It is an absolute travesty that we don't teach kids about many things that matter. But especially how to make their Brain function at optimal level so they can learn. The 2nd leading cause of death for youth between 14-24 is suicide. Mental health in youth is a fully blown public health crisis. I've been a Psychiatric RN for over 17 years and have worked with at risk youth and their parents, and it was a heart breaking experience. What parents and teachers are faced with a generation of lost kids. Parents are also facing challenges that no other generation had to content with - internet, social media, and information of every kind coming at us at a lightening speed. Nutrition and how to make your Brain function at optimal level using nutrition is not optional education. It needs to be mandatory. But then again even adults struggle with this. There's so much conflicting information out there about nutrition. Our kids need proper role models. People who understand and live what it means to be a functional human being. And adult that has a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. This a dire need in today's world. We need to raise awareness about using food as medicine.
Great interview! It’s so relatable for me-except I have schizophrenia. I’m currently reading Dr. Chris Palmer’s book, and I’m going to try a ketogenic diet. It makes me so hopeful to see someone who is a similar age as me who is thriving again! Thanks for sharing!
My friend has cured his schizophrenia after 47 years of drugs and is now on no drugs. It began with taking Niacin 500 with every meal after reading about Dr Abraham HOFFA’s research described on “Doctor Yourself with Andrew Saul” and then taking NAC following research in 1947, and then reducing carbs. When he stayed with me and was Keto with intermittent fasting he was perfect, absolutely normal and happy,and no apathy or paranoia. Unfortunately on his own he eats too much bread etc., but still manages without drugs! Taking Iodine is important as well as he was originally,diagnosed in the seventies with iodine deficiency. Namaste 🙏
Dhru, you are so good at taking what you’re guest say and clarifying it to make sure your listeners don’t misinterpret it. Thank you for having these conversations.
Thank you. I am a huge supporter of Dr. Palmer's work and have heard many interviews, however hearing from a patient who has benefitted is so powerful.
My son has the same obstacles as described in this talk. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s wonderful to hear about your success. I will follow your direction to put my son on this path. Stay healthy and shine your light for others who need it. Thank you
Her story is beautiful. Life is hard. We dream of having the best of things, while the moment passes. It's so much better to be content with the present moment learn to let go of expectations and the demands we put on ourselves. Journaling, exercising more, cutting out alcohol, books like 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels and The Power of Now, and making amends....I try to do as much as possible to make life a little less hard.
Good for you! Those things all contribute to your overall quality of life. I love that you have a positive outlook and practice mindfulness in our daily life. It's beautiful that you are reminding us about the importance of this moment. It is a gift. Every day and every moment is not a guarantee but we treat it that way. Truly, we don't know for sure what today or tomorrow may bring. We only have this moment for sure and we need to cherish it. Thank you for being you:)
I have a similar story & thank you Hannah you give us hope. Andrews illness bought tears to my eyes. I was left having seizures after a D/Violence head injury which damaged the left temporal lobe when I was 40 in 2005. I started having 2 seizures a year & was never offered any other help like the Keto diet I was just put on drugs. which caused the seizures to become monthly. I stopped the meds after 2yrs because of s/e & they were not stopping the seizures totally. I stopped the drugs straight away which caused the seizures to become monthly. I then had to try various drugs again for 6 years which did not stop the seizures & actually made them worse. I decided to stop all meds in 2012 & suffer the seizures. I have been trying ketovore & now keto for 1yr which has taken the seizures to 2-3 a months instead of up to 6. The brain fog has lifted & the psoriasis on my scalp has stopped, along with the arthritis in my knees from injuries.
I want to try metabolic therapy with my 17 year old son, but I haven't had any luck finding anyone in Louisiana who can monitor us. I have a pretty good understanding of the ketogenic diet and my son is willing to try it after then holidays, so I hope to find some success. This is such an encouraging interview!
I, too, am attempting to do this for my daughter. I have searched endlessly for resources but am coming up empty-handed. There is literally no one in my area. Sure there may be a few providers who can help remotely, but it's not the same as in-person assistance. And those that offer remote services are so expensive! Literally thousands of dollars. How is the average person supposed to afford this?
Does he have a family physician? A therapist? Because you can have someone guide you remotely as long as you also have some local support. How do you feel about remote support?
@@vickichesterfield4308 Yes, ideally in person would be a better experience but as long as you have some medical support around you like a family physician or therapist or Nurse Practitioner then the person guiding you through the metabolic therapies can be remote. It could work just as well. How old is your daughter? and is she interested to do metabolic therapies?
@@NeseretBemient My daughter is 25 and very interested in trying metabolic therapies. The problem isn't just finding someone to assist remotely, it's also the exorbitant fees they are charging. We were all set to start with a well-known group but their fees have increased immensely since we last spoke a few months ago. They are now thousands of dollars as opposed to hundreds. It's almost as if they've found a niche of desperate people who will pay anything to get well.
This makes me so happy to hear. It confirms my need to get back on keto. My story is that my husband died suddenly and I have two children. I was very overweight. I started keto and joined a gym and it took over two years but lost 65 lbs. and my mental health was incredible even though I was grieving. I was able to pull out of chronic illness, pain and hopelessness. It helped get me through 3 years of major grief and health issues. My problem is I got off of it and now I’m miserable and depressed again. I keep trying to get on keto again. And failing. I cant seem to get back and stay on it. I hope I can do it again but it’s not easy.
I’ve lost 25 pounds and I didn’t do it on keto. I eat brown rice, barley, sweet potato, quinoa, beans And White potatoes ( cooked in my oven or air fryer, never deep fried.) I don’t think you have to give up healthy carbs. I have no idea about mental illness, but I feel good at 54 and I definitely eat healthy carbs with protein and fruit. Maybe today, you could plan to eat healthfully tomorrow. Plan a healthy dinner, an apple for a snack, homemade veggie soup for lunch. Plan on taking a 15 minute walk, fill a pretty stainless steel tumbler with water and sip on water all day. Have a hot tea with a little honey in the evening. Meditate for 2-5 minutes. Get back on a health journey that you enjoy. 😊
One thing that has always deeply upset me is when mental health professionals tell you: "You can be treated, but never, ever cured." Like... what business do they have saying that? They don't know. They can't prove that. Why take hope away from people when we know that often hope itself can turn things around? Lots of people dramatically reverse their symptoms if not outright cure them. There is something horribly wrong with our medical system when liability concerns and caution outweigh the power of imagination and hope. Doctors should help us to imagine and be daring and just leave room for hope. It's like they just want to throw a wet blanket over you and keep you in a state of dependency on their treatments and meds. Yes, some online crackpots do harm by peddling false cures but that doesn't mean we have to dampen our enthusiasm for what new treatments are around the corner and what the human spirit can do. I confided some very difficult things to a therapist and my life changed when he said. "You know what.... We can fix this." That's not a direct quote, I don't remember his words exactly but I remember the message and power behind it--We can transform and get past this. This is not an end but a beginning. We can heal this, cure this. And I did. Anyone else would have told me I had a life sentence. He was a genius and I'm forever grateful. So many amazing things to say about this podcast. Well done to both of you, thanks for sharing.
The 1st trick was to merge Mental Health care into regular Medicine - then it was easy to fit people into disease-like Labels, then force neurotoxic drugs, etc.!
They don't even know what these illnesses really are, in spite of what many will tell you, and the drugs cause lifelong issues. Fasting and a low carb diet are our natural lifestyle, and will help a great deal with these issues. It amazes me people just go on suffering instead of trying these very simple fixes.
Grateful to Dhru and especially Hannah and higher power bringing me this podcast. I didn’t get sick till age 39, my first diagnosis was BP 2, but eventually because of hospitalizations and shameful treatment i came down with OCD and schizo-affected , I now only have bipolar diagnosis yet on low doses of tranquilizers and ssrs, My doctor is Yale trained and an active 80, his experience is a asset a liability, knows a lot yet wants proven treatments, very sad about that, Yet I have defied logic after 25 hospitalizations I am well and moving to thriving. I am vegetarian , with high triglycerides and cardiologist says reduce cards, I am interested in Chris palmers work and want to reduce medication more, Hannah , thank you for raising awareness in lifestyle treatments. I am very interested and eventually aim to get my story out there and maybe even get to your ketogenic lifestyle, ty 🙏,
Oh my God! Thank you young lady! Your openness and vulnerability is helping my family understand and help one of our family members who is highly similar to your past bipolar symptoms.
The fact we're discovering mental illness was really a metabolic disorder doesn't surprise me. I was bipolar 2 and followed an anti inflammatory recommended by Dr Mark Hyman for other issues as well and that worked for me. More extreme forms probably require being in extended ketosis but even Dr Palmer said many patients can make a shift once cell metabolism is reset. One other thing that also occured was a topical fungal infection I developed from the meds I think called tinea versicolor completely cleared up. I'm pretty happy more are becoming aware with stories like this being shared with large audiences. I was getting nowhere and was even harrassed because we were all convinced it was something they claimed was a chemical imbalance. Inflammation is involved in the onset of every disease or disorder, how did they consider it was remotely possible it played no role in mental illness. My only hope is they allow these studies be done because some are probably upset at the thought of lost profits. Thanks for being willing to.post this.
Learning about the medical keyo diet has given me hope. I plan on starting in a couple of weeks. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder twenty-three years ago. I'm sixty-three and experiencing a mental decline.
One of the most hopeful discussions I have heard in a long time. Hannah, you are a fantastic spokesperson for this treatment, and you are so brave and wonderful. Thank you.
This hits home for every family! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to listen to this discussion. This should be mandatory for every med student! Thank you so much again
Infinite appreciation for sharing your amazing story Hannah. Your compassion and advocacy is a rare and special thing and, along with Dr Palmer and others who also share your attitude, your work is so valuable in negating the tendency of the too many practitioners who hand out bandaid non-therapies like robots.
This is so encouraging. Thank you Hannah, your story is such a hopeful one. I worked in MH and had always looked outside the paradigm for alternatives to medicating serious Illness . From RD Laing to Robert Whitaker I have followed so many threads that lead away from the anti psychotics. I am always interested in new Ideas and will be looking for Chris Palmers book tomorrow !
At the moment, listen to your podcast, gives me hope, & thanks to Hannah for sharing her experience in phycosis. Hearing her talk, remind me of my own experience with my daughter as she suffer also with 3 phycotic episode. In similar circumstances a very sharp mind, was in her 2 year degree in architecture when she had her first episode. After her second phycotic episode, together we tried to battle the illness in our way, but after 5 years , had her 3 relapse. However not so severe as the 2 previous episode. All 3 occasions she was hospitalized. But on this last relapse, after 5 months I wean ed her off the medication. I am grateful to come a cross this talk of another way of helping people suffering with mental illness.
Thanks for sharing your story Hannah it is so important that people realize that there are other options than medication. There are quite a few new natural products that can help people to feel better sooner.
I stumbled on this,and while l have heard little bits and pieces of this subject. Thank you for sharing. I feel this is what l need for my anxiety and depression. Struggled with it for so long,and identify that life is hard to do with the heavy wet blanket weighing me down.😢
A Dr I follow compares fuel in a wood stove to metabolism. Paper and twigs equals inferior fuel that burns poorly: compared to logs on the fire that burn slowly and cleanly. Carbs and highly processed foods are the paper and twigs increasing the circulation of insulin and ensuring fat storage. Logs are the fats that feed the mitochondria and provide the healthy nutrition. I’m sure that fasting can be ongoing- even if it’s just an 18:6 pattern.
Thank you so much Hannah! I pray that you story is going toinspire my son who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and he would be willing to start to start the Ketogenic Therapy and be able to go back to the person He used to be. This video has given me hope for my son.
🥰 Thankyou you have really helped me today. My Mum has been ill all her life, I am feeling it now looking after her hid my symptoms. YOU have given me a positive feeling tonight that I am not going mad Hannah. Thankyou for all your recommendations. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you so much for sharing your journey… your voice is like a lighthouse in a fog of despair. Thank you so so muck and I wise you all the very best life can bring.
Thank you very much for this, I will read that book. My dad had bipolar, kicked in around 40. I have depression. I do notice sugars and fast carbs effect my mood. I am going to be much more mindful on this going forward.
Hannah, go on from here, like it never happened. You are still very young.maybe you needed this "PHd" in life before you were ready for what you "would have done". What you have discovered is bigger than you know. It goes deep into a lot of other difficulties we regularly face as we make our way through this life. God bless you, hon.
It did happen. Part of honoring the past is acknowledging it happened, and understanding how it impacted us and extracting the lessons and learning. It is the essence of inner work. Hannah is doing a fantastic job of all of that and using her pain and deep suffering to make a difference in the lives of many. Yes, what she discovered and is sharing will change the lives of millions of people. Not because she's pretending it never happened but because she owns her story and experiences fully and is not afraid to share them. It takes courage to speak up and to listen. Hannah does both elegantly.
Thanks for this vid...Hannah being a vego has the right info for me...I ve ordered my ketone breath monitor and ready to reduce my meds by half for 3 months...great one Hannah!...I'm more confident than ever...❤
I'm 56 years old and diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. Had many different diagnosis over the years. My psychatrist once tried to explain psychosis as "your mind putting itself on holiday" for various reasons. Not sleeping properly, too much stress, not eating, drinking healthy...etc This new research and discovery is groundbreaking. My personal beliefs about MH conditions and the "root cause" of the epidemic today has caused me to be labled a "conspiracy theorists" I think we need to go back to basics, do the math and go from there.... Fascinating and eye-opening interview. Thank you.
Having people sing in a chorus, take up joy and a dedication - is a conspiracy. The people who began the Florentine Renaissance conspired together + with others. Every good or bad change is from a Conspiracy - and those who label against this, just want to hold onto Mental Health status quo !
I lived this with my son. Three psychotic breaks in 6 years! I wish you would talk about dual diagnosis: an addiction (drugs, alcohol, etc) to compensate for the mental non clarity.
It filled me with empathy listening to Hannah 's story. Felt like giving her a hug and wishing her my best. That said mitochondrial health cannot be regained without decreasing your carbs to less than 25 GM's per day. And with chickpeas you cannot do that. Food is quintessential for decreasing insulin resistance and meat is very important for that.
Thank you Dhru for bringing important subjects to the forefront and always being a voice for those who can’t be heard or understood in their mental health journey. You have a deep compassion and understanding of how others can be suffering with mental illnesses and trying to find cures. By far the best podcast I listen to ❤
Agreed. Hannah is a voice for the voiceless and a wonderful mental health advocate. I've worked for 17 years as a psychiatric RN, and have heard many people's stories over the years. Hannah has a beautiful way of articulating and expressing her experienced with mental illness that inspires understanding and compassion.
33:16 Half hour into the conversation and only now do I hear that she was vegan ? She praised fasting and ketogenic diet all through the conversation but I believe a major factor in her recovery was switching to eat meat.
It is not enough to wait for big pharmaceutical companies that focus on profit. It needs to be not just allowed, but to be imperative to give people choice... As Hannah says "everyone deserves hope."
@RadiantBeasting Have you considered eating meat for your health. I have watched the carnivore community healing mental health . It is keto,but extreme. Apparently they are healing.?
I was in remission from bipolar 2 for a few years thanks to running marathons, playing tennis among other competitive sports and changing my diet drastically. unfortunately a few months ago I experience a dramatic stress situation that kept me bed ridden for three months. I had no choice but to take meds again and I'm feeling better with sudden highs the last a few minutes then go back to my super lows.
I got FH fam hypercholesterolemia ( genetic high cholesterol). I'm not overweight and exercise regularly. I don't eat cookies candy etc, like the bad sugars, I'm also gluten free, and I can't to do a ketogenic diet, did it for 7 months strict. but cholesterol elevated, now I'm searching for an alternative diet.
I've achieved remission from Bipolar with hypernourishment, whole food plantbased vegan. Look at Dr. Brooke Goldner's free information. Dr Chris Palmer's book states that it's the ketogenic effect that is important and that this can be achieved with any dietary protocol not just high-meat/fat diets. 1/2 cup flax seed in smoothie plus flax oil, raw cruciferous, water. Avoid toxins. Good luck, I've suffered poor mental health for 52 years, it is a miracle to be well ❤
High cholesterol is NOT a problem! Its a myth promoted by big pharma. Please research more on these. Look at youtube channel of Dr Ken Berry MD to understand more.
I think this is really helpful for many who are told that meat is an important part of the keto diet. It’s clear that even on a vegetarian diet you can have life changing success. It would be interesting to hear stories from any keto vegans who may have similar experiences. And essentially also shows that everyone’s chemistry is unique and responds differently.
Thanks for the interview. I'm doing well on my medication and will definitely try a full keto diet when my psychiatrist deems it appropriate to try going off meds
You can start Keto straight away, it may even help you more when the times comes to come off your meds. Please taper slowly - medical doctors don’t always understand how difficult withdrawal can be. Lots of useful information available online 👍
Amazing interview ! Wow 😯 the interviewer is so talented at asking questions and engaging her messages so powerful, Therapist for 30 years and I’m definitely gonna be incorporating this into my practice asking about diet. I have been doing it but not consistently asking the right questions and putting it out there, because the metabolic disturbance is so real and it can be treated.! God bless 🙏❤️🩹
Fascinating and most enlightening podcast - thank you! I live in the UK and I have been trying to find the book mentioned, “Brain Energy” by Chris M Palmer MD on Amazon Kindle, but it doesn’t appear to be available?
Around 32.00 time of the interview, Hannah mentioned she was following a vegan diet. B12 IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR NEUROGOGICAL HEALTH. Vegans, I understand, do not get enough B12.
Yes, interesting fact that alcoholism also affects b12 stores. And besides damage to the liver, alcohol is known to cause neurological damage. It can cause wet brain syndrome, also known as Korsakoff psychosis.
34:45 this illness has a biological physiological base that I can heal through metabolic therapies . That there was never had an inherent problem as an individual , nothing wrong with her , with her personality. a deep entanglement of trauma and mental illness … if every doctor knew that mental illness is a metabolical disfunction which results in a mental illness then the world be be a better place for so many
AGREE A 💯 although my problem was autoinmune condition, and after terrible conventional treatment for a few months that brought terrible side effects, I overcame with 4 yrs in full remission, and I do have moderate anxiety, but that too, very mild now, the process rubbish, gluten, sugars, processed meats, dairies, definitely the culprits in my case‼️I totally believe in Metabolic diet proposed by doctor C. Palmer‼️
I would add to clinicians who are offended by people taking initiative with their own health… Being a physician does not make you a god and all your pharmacological interventions may give a positive side effect, but with how many negative side effects. That arrogance is offensive to me.

10 yrs I was pescatarian, 2 years ago I went keto pescatarian and lost 25 kilos and did an eating window of 16/8 . I felt amazing more energy. 6 months ago I went carnavore and started eating red fatty meat, butter, eggs, bacon and I now feel like I'm age reversing, my brain fog gone my body aches and high blood pressure gone, my gut reaching anxiety gone. I will never eat anything that my body can not process ever again im in my 60s and feel better now than I did in my 30s.
Everyone should hear Hannah’s story…it gives me so much more empathy and insight and HOPE for those struggling with mental illness!
I agree. It is very powerful and she is incredibly articulate in the way she's describing her experience. Just the narrative and the choice of words she utilizes inspires compassion. You can't help but love her story and respect her as a person, with her raw depiction of what it means to experience mental illness.
I’ve always had tremendous empathy and insight for everyone struggling with mental illnesses. It’s common sense to understand that mental illness is a legitimate and serious illness just as physical illness is.

The Mental Illness term - plays into DSM disease like labeling - then neurotoxic drugs and long term financialization! @@NeseretBemient
Amazing interview. My daughter died at 23 battling mental issues and turning to all kinds of drugs and activities for relief. I wasn't even aware of this topic at the time. Breaks my heart that their was hope for her too and it was to late. Thank you for sharing.
I am so sorry for your loss.
So am I
My mom as well.
You are on one of the toughest paths any human being could ever walk. Yet, I can still feel the deep love you have for her. I can tell you in all my time working as a psychiatric RN, in the past 17 years - I did not know about this.
Recently, I worked at children's emergency for six years and worked with kids under 19 years old, most of whom were struggling with mental illness, substance use d/o, and suicidal ideation.
I know the feeling of being helpless and not knowing how to support clients who were battling mental illness to recover. I didn't have an answer for them or for their bewildered and lost parents who were wracked with guilt, fear, worry, pain, and absolute horror.
It was heart breaking, and at times incredibly demoralizing to be a witness to such deep human suffering of both the kids and the parents.
Just in the past year or so I came across metabolic therapies and took completed a course so I can be more part of the solution. I have something of value and substance to offer my kiddos and their parents now.
I'm haunted by the memory of those who are no longer with us but I also feel I can honor their lives by offering this new approach to those who are in need today.
I hope you have some support for yourself. I'm glad you are here engaging in this community. Thank you for sharing your story with us here.
Warm Regards,
Neseret
So sorry to hear that. I pray for you xx
I cried a lot when Hanna talked about Andrew. As a depressive + anxious + ADHD woman, I know how life can be hard when you have mental health problem(s). I am back on keto for 11 days now, and I force myself to stick to it despite ADHD because this "dietary therapy" is the only solution for me. I've tried several others, but keto gave me my life back like nothing else. When you've been depressed and sometimes suicidal for the great part of your life (30 years as far as I'm concerned) keto seems to be a miracle. Nope, sorry, I mean : keto IS a miracle.
I'm so glad to hear you are on a path of recovery and determined to take care of yourself. Following dietary guidelines can seem overwhelming in the beginning, but when you experience the advantages for yourself, it becomes a no-brainer, or I guess I should say, it becomes a brainer, brain energy brainer.
Thank you @@jodydavison33 !!
I agree with you, so much. It's a no brainer. When I felt that Keto released my depression, I just had tears of joy. I was in 2018. 26 years of hopelessness resolved in a month... With ketones ! Oh my 🥲
Now I'm back on keto (day 14) and I won't NEVER go back again. Carbs are a waist of time for me. Everytime I eat "normally" (even with real food) my depression ADHD and anxiety worsen and my life is a mess..
Wow. I'm so sorry you suffered for so long. I had a 13 year nightmare with antidepressant induced bipolar disorder and holistic lifestyle interventions and ketogenic diet was the miracle. I totally agree. I have my life back and feel better than I have ever felt before.
I share my harrowing journey in "Confessions of a Psych Nurse." I also now have completed a program in Metabolic Psychiatry to guide people through the same process. As a Psychiatric RN in the conventional system for 17 years, I felt limited in how much I could help people. Now I have so much more to offer.
I feel so grateful to have come across this information and community. I feel blessed.
Well I'm still suffering@@NeseretBemient
I am waiting to get back to keto adaptation ! Most of the time, I have tp wait till 40th day to help that happen. Still waiting... I am on day 17 ! I'm so glad to read that you get your bipolar into remission !! After 13 years, wow 😯 🙏 How many grams of carb are you at ?
@@Iris.gokaltayThat's tough but you sound like you are committed to making it work. I don't count carbs but it's pretty low. I focus on high fat, and moderate protein. I keep my ketones between 1.8-2.5 range and that seems to work really well.
For people who are seriously mentally ill, especially those who hear voices or experiencing paranoia and /or cognitive decline, it would be so helpful to put this information in a clear & simple format. Thank you for this excellent podcast.
Excellent point. When you’re really unwell, you need the dressed down, basic, point form only.

Hannah's story is amazing and should really open all of our eyes to the potential of treating these types of mental illnesses
There is so much potential for healing. There are a thousand ways to heal and it shouldn't just present one or two options to people. All options and paths need to be explored - until the person feels better. The potential for human thriving is unlimited.

This interview needs to be shared everywhere! Hannah’s story is so powerful! I found Brain Energy on Dec 17 2022. Started therapeutic keto Dec 18, 2022. Changed everything! Changed ALL the things! Dr. Georgia Ede too as mentioned in this podcast.
Seriously I had lost hope and with a background in nutrition/dietetics had tried everything but this. “Hannah has her life back”. Table for two. Actually waaaaay more than we knew about a year ago!!!Groundbreaking research/education by Metabolic Mind and Baszucki Brain Trust. Truly changing the world! I’m beyond grateful!! Hannah thank you for being so vulnerable and part of the solution!
This is wonderful. I’m a parent - a friend- and a high school teacher. The trifecta for empathy and understanding. I wish this is what we watched in health class in 6th grade and every trade after. We need to educate students - so they go home and say mom “ I don’t want the Doritos” I know it’s more than that. But there needs to be a shift. I have brilliant and sensitive students who are suffering with mental illness - and diabetes- and they aren’t heavy. So how is it that we can have such brilliant people hurting themselves on the daily.
It is an absolute travesty that we don't teach kids about many things that matter. But especially how to make their Brain function at optimal level so they can learn. The 2nd leading cause of death for youth between 14-24 is suicide. Mental health in youth is a fully blown public health crisis.
I've been a Psychiatric RN for over 17 years and have worked with at risk youth and their parents, and it was a heart breaking experience. What parents and teachers are faced with a generation of lost kids. Parents are also facing challenges that no other generation had to content with - internet, social media, and information of every kind coming at us at a lightening speed.
Nutrition and how to make your Brain function at optimal level using nutrition is not optional education. It needs to be mandatory. But then again even adults struggle with this. There's so much conflicting information out there about nutrition. Our kids need proper role models. People who understand and live what it means to be a functional human being. And adult that has a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.
This a dire need in today's world. We need to raise awareness about using food as medicine.

Great interview! It’s so relatable for me-except I have schizophrenia. I’m currently reading Dr. Chris Palmer’s book, and I’m going to try a ketogenic diet. It makes me so hopeful to see someone who is a similar age as me who is thriving again! Thanks for sharing!
My friend has cured his schizophrenia after 47 years of drugs and is now on no drugs. It began with taking Niacin 500 with every meal after reading about Dr Abraham HOFFA’s research described on “Doctor Yourself with Andrew Saul” and then taking NAC following research in 1947, and then reducing carbs.
When he stayed with me and was Keto with intermittent fasting he was perfect, absolutely normal and happy,and no apathy or paranoia. Unfortunately on his own he eats too much bread etc., but still manages without drugs! Taking Iodine is important as well as he was originally,diagnosed in the seventies with iodine deficiency. Namaste 🙏

Disease-like Labeling is an adolescent usurpation!

keto dramatically improves my mood, energy and lowers irritability. really helpful diet as long as i stick to it.
Dhru, you are so good at taking what you’re guest say and clarifying it to make sure your listeners don’t misinterpret it. Thank you for having these conversations.
Thank you. I am a huge supporter of Dr. Palmer's work and have heard many interviews, however hearing from a patient who has benefitted is so powerful.
My son has the same obstacles as described in this talk. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It’s wonderful to hear about your success. I will follow your direction to put my son on this path.
Stay healthy and shine your light for others who need it.
Thank you
Her story is beautiful. Life is hard. We dream of having the best of things, while the moment passes. It's so much better to be content with the present moment learn to let go of expectations and the demands we put on ourselves. Journaling, exercising more, cutting out alcohol, books like 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels and The Power of Now, and making amends....I try to do as much as possible to make life a little less hard.
Good for you! Those things all contribute to your overall quality of life. I love that you have a positive outlook and practice mindfulness in our daily life. It's beautiful that you are reminding us about the importance of this moment. It is a gift. Every day and every moment is not a guarantee but we treat it that way. Truly, we don't know for sure what today or tomorrow may bring. We only have this moment for sure and we need to cherish it. Thank you for being you:)
Run from new age stuff, seriously. Seems good but i's actually not. Talking from experience. Been there done that. Trying to help but it's up to you.
@@NeseretBemient Be in the moment!
I have a similar story & thank you Hannah you give us hope. Andrews illness bought tears to my eyes. I was left having seizures after a D/Violence head injury which damaged the left temporal lobe when I was 40 in 2005. I started having 2 seizures a year & was never offered any other help like the Keto diet I was just put on drugs. which caused the seizures to become monthly. I stopped the meds after 2yrs because of s/e & they were not stopping the seizures totally. I stopped the drugs straight away which caused the seizures to become monthly. I then had to try various drugs again for 6 years which did not stop the seizures & actually made them worse. I decided to stop all meds in 2012 & suffer the seizures. I have been trying ketovore & now keto for 1yr which has taken the seizures to 2-3 a months instead of up to 6. The brain fog has lifted & the psoriasis on my scalp has stopped, along with the arthritis in my knees from injuries.
How long before your psoriasis started clearing up? It can be so stubborn.
@@naomi8097 It stopped in a few months and it has not returned.
I want to try metabolic therapy with my 17 year old son, but I haven't had any luck finding anyone in Louisiana who can monitor us. I have a pretty good understanding of the ketogenic diet and my son is willing to try it after then holidays, so I hope to find some success.
This is such an encouraging interview!
There are resources online that can help.
I, too, am attempting to do this for my daughter. I have searched endlessly for resources but am coming up empty-handed. There is literally no one in my area. Sure there may be a few providers who can help remotely, but it's not the same as in-person assistance. And those that offer remote services are so expensive! Literally thousands of dollars. How is the average person supposed to afford this?
Does he have a family physician? A therapist? Because you can have someone guide you remotely as long as you also have some local support. How do you feel about remote support?
@@vickichesterfield4308 Yes, ideally in person would be a better experience but as long as you have some medical support around you like a family physician or therapist or Nurse Practitioner then the person guiding you through the metabolic therapies can be remote. It could work just as well. How old is your daughter? and is she interested to do metabolic therapies?
@@NeseretBemient My daughter is 25 and very interested in trying metabolic therapies. The problem isn't just finding someone to assist remotely, it's also the exorbitant fees they are charging. We were all set to start with a well-known group but their fees have increased immensely since we last spoke a few months ago. They are now thousands of dollars as opposed to hundreds. It's almost as if they've found a niche of desperate people who will pay anything to get well.
This makes me so happy to hear. It confirms my need to get back on keto.
My story is that my husband died suddenly and I have two children. I was very overweight. I started keto and joined a gym and it took over two years but lost 65 lbs. and my mental health was incredible even though I was grieving. I was able to pull out of chronic illness, pain and hopelessness. It helped get me through 3 years of major grief and health issues.
My problem is I got off of it and now I’m miserable and depressed again. I keep trying to get on keto again. And failing. I cant seem to get back and stay on it. I hope I can do it again but it’s not easy.
Maybe look for a nutritional therapist or health coach to help you get back on track with keto
There is a way, I'm having trouble getting started,,,lt would be good to have a coach type person to get together with a personal plan ....maybe?
@Iam yes, YOU CAN DO IT! You can get back on track. When you get sick and tired of being sick and tired, you will do it. Good luck to you. Blessings.
No or low carbs is very difficult, because they are our Comfort Foods.
I’ve lost 25 pounds and I didn’t do it on keto. I eat brown rice, barley, sweet potato, quinoa, beans
And
White potatoes ( cooked in my oven or air fryer, never deep fried.) I don’t think you have to give up healthy carbs. I have no idea about mental illness, but I feel good at 54 and I definitely eat healthy carbs with protein and fruit.
Maybe today, you could plan to eat healthfully tomorrow. Plan a healthy dinner, an apple for a snack, homemade veggie soup for lunch. Plan on taking a 15 minute walk, fill a pretty stainless steel tumbler with water and sip on water all day. Have a hot tea with a little honey in the evening. Meditate for 2-5 minutes.
Get back on a health journey that you enjoy. 😊
One thing that has always deeply upset me is when mental health professionals tell you: "You can be treated, but never, ever cured." Like... what business do they have saying that? They don't know. They can't prove that. Why take hope away from people when we know that often hope itself can turn things around? Lots of people dramatically reverse their symptoms if not outright cure them. There is something horribly wrong with our medical system when liability concerns and caution outweigh the power of imagination and hope. Doctors should help us to imagine and be daring and just leave room for hope. It's like they just want to throw a wet blanket over you and keep you in a state of dependency on their treatments and meds. Yes, some online crackpots do harm by peddling false cures but that doesn't mean we have to dampen our enthusiasm for what new treatments are around the corner and what the human spirit can do. I confided some very difficult things to a therapist and my life changed when he said. "You know what.... We can fix this." That's not a direct quote, I don't remember his words exactly but I remember the message and power behind it--We can transform and get past this. This is not an end but a beginning. We can heal this, cure this. And I did. Anyone else would have told me I had a life sentence. He was a genius and I'm forever grateful.
So many amazing things to say about this podcast. Well done to both of you, thanks for sharing.
The 1st trick was to merge Mental Health care into regular Medicine - then it was easy to fit people into disease-like Labels, then force neurotoxic drugs, etc.!
They don't even know what these illnesses really are, in spite of what many will tell you, and the drugs cause lifelong issues. Fasting and a low carb diet are our natural lifestyle, and will help a great deal with these issues. It amazes me people just go on suffering instead of trying these very simple fixes.
If they cure you then you no longer need their services or drugs

Grateful to Dhru and especially Hannah and higher power bringing me this podcast.

I am very interested and eventually aim to get my story out there and maybe even get to your ketogenic lifestyle, ty 🙏,
Oh my God! Thank you young lady! Your openness and vulnerability is helping my family understand and help one of our family members who is highly similar to your past bipolar symptoms.
She is one of my favourite guest you have showcased on the show ❤
Hannah is wonderful, thanks for having her on the show 🙏
Hannah, your efforts are totally inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Your information is a real gift to all of us.
The fact we're discovering mental illness was really a metabolic disorder doesn't surprise me. I was bipolar 2 and followed an anti inflammatory recommended by Dr Mark Hyman for other issues as well and that worked for me. More extreme forms probably require being in extended ketosis but even Dr Palmer said many patients can make a shift once cell metabolism is reset. One other thing that also occured was a topical fungal infection I developed from the meds I think called tinea versicolor completely cleared up. I'm pretty happy more are becoming aware with stories like this being shared with large audiences. I was getting nowhere and was even harrassed because we were all convinced it was something they claimed was a chemical imbalance. Inflammation is involved in the onset of every disease or disorder, how did they consider it was remotely possible it played no role in mental illness. My only hope is they allow these studies be done because some are probably upset at the thought of lost profits. Thanks for being willing to.post this.
Disease-like Labeling and the Chemical Imbalance posit are logical premises Psychiatrists use - Robert Whitaker and Peter Gotzsche are good on this!
Just listening to someone else’s experience that feels familiar to mine is already helping a lot.
Learning about the medical keyo diet has given me hope. I plan on starting in a couple of weeks. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder twenty-three years ago. I'm sixty-three and experiencing a mental decline.

At the moment, listen to your podcast, gives me hope, & thanks to Hannah for sharing her experience in phycosis. Hearing her talk, remind me of my own experience with my daughter as she suffer also with 3 phycotic episode. In similar circumstances a very sharp mind, was in her 2 year degree in architecture when she had her first episode. After her second phycotic episode, together we tried to battle the illness in our way, but after 5 years , had her 3 relapse. However not so severe as the 2 previous episode. All 3 occasions she was hospitalized. But on this last relapse, after 5 months I wean ed her off the medication. I am grateful to come a cross this talk of another way of helping people suffering with mental illness.

You were lucky to have friends who stood by you. My daughter has lost all her friends. Each and everyone of them rejected her
A Dr I follow compares fuel in a wood stove to metabolism. Paper and twigs equals inferior fuel that burns poorly: compared to logs on the fire that burn slowly and cleanly. Carbs and highly processed foods are the paper and twigs increasing the circulation of insulin and ensuring fat storage. Logs are the fats that feed the mitochondria and provide the healthy nutrition. I’m sure that fasting can be ongoing- even if it’s just an 18:6 pattern.
Thank you so much Hannah! I pray that you story is going toinspire my son who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and he would be willing to start to start the Ketogenic Therapy and be able to go back to the person He used to be. This video has given me hope for my son.

Hannah, go on from here, like it never happened. You are still very young.maybe you needed this "PHd" in life before you were ready for what you "would have done". What you have discovered is bigger than you know. It goes deep into a lot of other difficulties we regularly face as we make our way through this life.
God bless you, hon.
It did happen. Part of honoring the past is acknowledging it happened, and understanding how it impacted us and extracting the lessons and learning. It is the essence of inner work. Hannah is doing a fantastic job of all of that and using her pain and deep suffering to make a difference in the lives of many.
Yes, what she discovered and is sharing will change the lives of millions of people. Not because she's pretending it never happened but because she owns her story and experiences fully and is not afraid to share them. It takes courage to speak up and to listen. Hannah does both elegantly.

I'm 56 years old and diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder. Had many different diagnosis over the years. My psychatrist once tried to explain psychosis as "your mind putting itself on holiday" for various reasons. Not sleeping properly, too much stress, not eating, drinking healthy...etc
This new research and discovery is groundbreaking.
My personal beliefs about MH conditions and the "root cause" of the epidemic today has caused me to be labled a "conspiracy theorists"
I think we need to go back to basics, do the math and go from there....
Fascinating and eye-opening interview.
Thank you.
Having people sing in a chorus, take up joy and a dedication - is a conspiracy. The people who began the Florentine Renaissance conspired together + with others. Every good or bad change is from a Conspiracy - and those who label against this, just want to hold onto Mental Health status quo !
I lived this with my son. Three psychotic breaks in 6 years! I wish you would talk about dual diagnosis: an addiction (drugs, alcohol, etc) to compensate for the mental non clarity.

That said mitochondrial health cannot be regained without decreasing your carbs to less than 25 GM's per day. And with chickpeas you cannot do that. Food is quintessential for decreasing insulin resistance and meat is very important for that.

Appreciate this a lot. Ketogenic diet so healing. A great reminder and appreciate her experience and dedication to her health.
Mental health is the development of a mental + emotional dedication - a cathexis!
Her analogy to software and hardware was very honest.
33:16 Half hour into the conversation and only now do I hear that she was vegan ? She praised fasting and ketogenic diet all through the conversation but I believe a major factor in her recovery was switching to eat meat.
I never started eating meat. I follow a vegetarian keto diet.
But added eggs
It is not enough to wait for big pharmaceutical companies that focus on profit.
It needs to be not just allowed, but to be imperative to give people choice...
As Hannah says "everyone deserves hope."
@RadiantBeasting
Have you considered eating meat for your health.
I have watched the carnivore community healing mental health .
It is keto,but extreme.
Apparently they are healing.?
I think she said she was a vegetarian. In any case, she is still a vegetarian, now.
This was such an important topic and information that needed to come out.
Excellent interviewer
I have appreciated the interview. The Mediterranean diet is good most of the conditions including mental illnesses.

I was in remission from bipolar 2 for a few years thanks to running marathons, playing tennis among other competitive sports and changing my diet drastically. unfortunately a few months ago I experience a dramatic stress situation that kept me bed ridden for three months. I had no choice but to take meds again and I'm feeling better with sudden highs the last a few minutes then go back to my super lows.
I got FH fam hypercholesterolemia ( genetic high cholesterol). I'm not overweight and exercise regularly. I don't eat cookies candy etc, like the bad sugars, I'm also gluten free, and I can't to do a ketogenic diet, did it for 7 months strict. but cholesterol elevated, now I'm searching for an alternative diet.
I've achieved remission from Bipolar with hypernourishment, whole food plantbased vegan. Look at Dr. Brooke Goldner's free information. Dr Chris Palmer's book states that it's the ketogenic effect that is important and that this can be achieved with any dietary protocol not just high-meat/fat diets. 1/2 cup flax seed in smoothie plus flax oil, raw cruciferous, water. Avoid toxins. Good luck, I've suffered poor mental health for 52 years, it is a miracle to be well ❤
I did exactly this, explored modalities, felt better, dropped meds against advice, this can be done and it can work.
High cholesterol is NOT a problem! Its a myth promoted by big pharma. Please research more on these. Look at youtube channel of Dr Ken Berry MD to understand more.
I think this is really helpful for many who are told that meat is an important part of the keto diet. It’s clear that even on a vegetarian diet you can have life changing success. It would be interesting to hear stories from any keto vegans who may have similar experiences. And essentially also shows that everyone’s chemistry is unique and responds differently.
Lots of excellent vegan Keto recipes on the TH-cam channel Heavenly Fan. She’s brilliant!
@@skippy7208 thank you so much for this 🫶🏻
what do you eat on keto vegan tho... except for avocados, coconut oil and vegetables. sounds like a pretty unhealthy lifestyle to me.

She’s a wonderful girl
Thanks for the interview. I'm doing well on my medication and will definitely try a full keto diet when my psychiatrist deems it appropriate to try going off meds
You can start Keto straight away, it may even help you more when the times comes to come off your meds. Please taper slowly - medical doctors don’t always understand how difficult withdrawal can be. Lots of useful information available online 👍
Thank you. This was so informative and gave great hope.
Lovely humility also.
Wow thank you thank you for sharing! I can strangely relate to so much of her story. So helpful.
Amazing interview !
Wow 😯 the interviewer is so talented at asking questions and engaging her messages so powerful, Therapist for 30 years and I’m definitely gonna be incorporating this into my practice asking about diet. I have been doing it but not consistently asking the right questions and putting it out there, because the metabolic disturbance is so real and it can be treated.!
God bless 🙏❤️🩹
THATS AMAZING!!! Bee the CURE!!! 🔥🌈🌈🔥
Fascinating and most enlightening podcast - thank you! I live in the UK and I have been trying to find the book mentioned, “Brain Energy” by Chris M Palmer MD on Amazon Kindle, but it doesn’t appear to be available?
I got the paperback book from Amazon (UK) but there are loads of TH-cam podcasts with Dr Chris Palmer as a guest 👍
Around 32.00 time of the interview, Hannah mentioned she was following a vegan diet. B12 IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR NEUROGOGICAL HEALTH. Vegans, I understand, do not get enough B12.
Hormones meats don't have b12. Meat eaters must take supplements too...
Yes, we need b12, omega 3 and bioavailable proteins from animal sources too.
But vegetarian keto obviously is much better than high carb vegan
Yes, interesting fact that alcoholism also affects b12 stores. And besides damage to the liver, alcohol is known to cause neurological damage. It can cause wet brain syndrome, also known as Korsakoff psychosis.
And stress! Affects our B12 stores. And that can include stress on the body.
34:45 this illness has a biological physiological base that I can heal through metabolic therapies . That there was never had an inherent problem as an individual , nothing wrong with her , with her personality. a deep entanglement of trauma and mental illness … if every doctor knew that mental illness is a metabolical disfunction which results in a mental illness then the world be be a better place for so many
AGREE A 💯 although my problem was autoinmune condition, and after terrible conventional treatment for a few months that brought terrible side effects, I overcame with 4 yrs in full remission, and I do have moderate anxiety, but that too, very mild now, the process rubbish, gluten, sugars, processed meats, dairies, definitely the culprits in my case‼️I totally believe in Metabolic diet proposed by doctor C. Palmer‼️
Same exact thing happened to me, hospitalized three times then diagnosed with schizoaffective and put on psych meds
you doing keto now?
@@jeanpaultongeren125 not really
Thank you for this information i will get the book
I would add to clinicians who are offended by people taking initiative with their own health…
Being a physician does not make you a god and all your pharmacological interventions may give a positive side effect, but with how many negative side effects.
That arrogance is offensive to me.
