1/ Roblox Founder @davidbaszucki & his wife @janellison share how a keto diet sent their son’s bipolar disorder into remission. Hear their welcome remarks at the 1st Metabolic Psychiatry retreat, May ‘22
2/ “We traveled with Matt on his mental illness journey. We watched him go into it & come out the other side. Having an idea of what made his recovery possible enables me to stand up here and have something to offer you all, which is his story.” @janellison#ketoformentalhealth
3/ “Matt was treated by 41 mental health professionals & prescribed 29 meds but he was still not well. He was doing everything he needed to do. He got better but he didn’t get well. His condition was labeled treatment resistant.” @janellison#metabolicmind#MetabolicPsychiatry
4/ “January 2021 he started a keto diet. Within a few months we knew were on to something. By May he was well, living the life we didn’t know he was ever going to live, a regular life with a stable mood day after day.” @janellison

1/4 Metabolic Psychiatry has the potential to transform treatments not only for depression and anxiety, but also serious mental illnesses like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. #KetoforMentalHealth#MetabolicMind#MetabolicPsychiatry
2/4 Understanding the connection between metabolic & mental health could transform how we diagonse and treat mental illness. We can do better that just using drug therapies. Targeted medications with nutritional ketosis could prove to be a gamechanger for psychiatric treatments.
3/4 Along with others in the field like @chrispalmermd@shebanimd@georgiaedemd and many others, we hope to spread the message of effective metabolic therapies for mental health.
