Carnivore for Mental Health: Depression, Anxiety & the Whole Family | Christy Kriese

📣 Christy Kriese is back — and two years of strict carnivore have changed not just her life, but nearly everyone around her.📋 Christy spent years cycling through psychiatric medications, a devastating deprescribing experience, and a depression so severe that she was surviving on fewer than 8,000 calories a month. Then, on November 13, 2023, she started carnivore. Now, 890 days in, she still feels better every single day. In this conversation, she and Robyn talk about what changed, who else in her family came along for the ride, and why lived experience is as important as any clinical study.🔑 What You'll LearnWhy a too-fast medication taper can mimic — or trigger — a psychiatric crisis, and why that's rarely recognized in treatmentHow Christy's sleep improved by day eight on carnivore, before almost anything else changedWhat happened when her husband, son, son-in-law, daughter, grandkids, and brother-in-law each started carnivore on their own timelineWhy Christy tracks how she feels rather than macros, ketones, or the scale — and why that approach works for her mental health historyHow she went from a burner Twitter account called Little Miss Depressive Episode to doing one-on-one crisis support for people across the country💡 Key Insight"Waking up at nighttime wondering if you killed somebody or if you've tried to kill yourself because you can't separate reality from your dreams — that's hard. This is not hard." — Christy Kriese🌐 Connect with Christy KrieseX: https://x.com/melovinjesusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/christy.krieseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/melovinjesus22💚 Metabolic CollectiveWebsite: https://www.metaboliccollective.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/metcollectiveX: https://x.com/metcollectiveYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@metaboliccollective⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions.⏳ Chapters0:47 Introduction2:12 Christy's Background and Mental Health History4:34 Cyclical Depression and the COVID Turning Point7:56 Deprescribing Gone Wrong10:07 The $2,600 Psychiatrist and Four Medications in Four Weeks14:43 What Nobody Talks About: Deprescribing Risks17:09 From Bedbound to Carnivore: The First Days23:35 Day Eight Sleep, 890 Days of Feeling Better24:54 How the Whole Family Joined In44:07 One-on-Ones, Metabolic Collective, and Helping Others🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
