Choosing Mental Health in a World Afraid of Cholesterol | Robyn Dobbins on Boundless Body Radio

📣 In this special Ketobiography episode, host Robyn Dobbins shares her recent interview with Casey Ruff from Boundless Body Radio, along with the lived-experience panel from the Menlo Park, California screening of The Cholesterol Code. Robyn and Casey revisit her journey from years of severe mental and physical illness — including OCD, obesity, depression, Hashimoto's, and bipolar disorder — to discovering ketogenic metabolic therapy and rebuilding her life, relationships, and sense of purpose.📋 They explore the central tension raised by The Cholesterol Code: what it means to live as a lean-mass hyper-responder with very high LDL, zero coronary plaque, and profound mental health benefits from a ketogenic diet, and how to weigh that reality against standard cholesterol guidelines and the fears of clinicians, family, and society. The episode then moves to the Menlo Park lived-experience panel moderated by Dr. Bret Scher, featuring Robyn Dobbins, Dr. Eric Rodgers, Michelle Hurn, and Lauren Kennedy West of Living Well After Schizophrenia — a candid conversation about anorexia, schizophrenia, major depression, athletic performance, and the practical realities of sustaining these approaches in everyday life.🔑 What You'll LearnHow Robyn's long history with bipolar disorder and other conditions shifted when she began using a ketogenic diet for metabolic and mental health.Why The Cholesterol Code focuses on lean-mass hyper-responders, and what high LDL with zero plaque might mean for people who are otherwise metabolically healthy.How parents, partners, and children experience and adapt to one family member's healing — emotionally, relationally, and over time.How ketogenic and low-carb therapies are being used in real life for anorexia, schizophrenia, major depression, and athletic performance, and what trade-offs the panelists consider around risk and benefit.Why centering lived experience — through storytelling, panels, and community building initiatives like Metabolic Collective — is crucial as science on metabolic psychiatry continues to evolve.💡 Key Insight"There's no reason to go back to how I was just because of this one number. My overall well-being, the joy and energy I have now — there's no trading that for a lab result." — Robyn Dobbins🌐 Connect with RobynWebsite: https://www.robyndobbins.com Podcast: https://www.robyndobbins.com/ketobiographyX: https://x.com/robynrdobbins Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robyn.dobbins Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robynrdobbins YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ketobiography🌐 Connect with Casey RuffWebsite: https://www.myboundlessbody.com Podcast: https://www.myboundlessbody.com/podcast-1 X: https://x.com/CaseyRuff Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/casey.ruff Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caseyboundlessbody💚 Metabolic CollectiveWebsite: https://www.metaboliccollective.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/metcollective X: https://x.com/metcollective YouTube: 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.🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
