In depth exploration of study and results: www.metabolicmind.org/resources/news-views/blog/pe…

My short on this: www.youtube.com/shorts/rtk-oO...

I was brought to tears hearing the impact of this study on it’s participants.

I can’t imagine how my life may have looked different had this been an option available to me in university.

Thank you Dr. Volek and everyone working to build the evidence so that ketogenic and metabolic therapies can reach and be offered to more and more people.

I know how profound this intervention is from a personal perspective, and I hope that the scientific evidence building continues to strengthen metabolic psychiatry as a legitimate and first line approach to mental health care.

Please watch this 5 minute documentary on the study:

We're trying something new!

I'll be going live here on YouTube tomorrow at 1pm ET to chat with you, our audience, and answer as many questions as possible. At the same time, I'll be showing how I measure my ketones (Using the KetoMojo and the SiBio CKM - and showing how to remove it and apply a new one as well).

I'm so looking forward to connecting in this new way tomorrow! Hope to see you there!
