244: The Metabolic Root of Depression, Anxiety, & Mental Illness - Dr. Lori Calabrese

Dr. Lori Calabrese is a psychiatrist whose trajectory changed when a patient with 15 years of treatment-resistant anorexia went into full remission after a ketogenic diet. What followed was a research journey — pilot studies, peer-reviewed case series, and a now-funded randomized controlled trial — consistently showing that depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions could achieve complete remission, not just symptom reduction, through metabolic intervention. The key mechanism isn't neurotransmitter adjustment but mitochondrial health: when the brain runs on ketones, it receives a more stable fuel that reduces the erratic neurological firing behind panic, mania, obsessive loops, and psychosis.Dr. Lori Calabrese MD Contact Info: https://Touchpoints180.orgSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
