In this deeply moving and hope-filled episode, we welcome Janet Ebos, a holistic nutritionist, musician, teacher, mother, and advocate for metabolic psychiatry and neurology. Janet shares her family’s powerful journey, from her son's bipolar diagnosis and life-threatening lows to her healing from migraines, canker sores, and debilitating brain fog. She also takes us behind the scenes of the emerging nonprofit Metabolic Collective, a grassroots movement uniting patients, clinicians, and advocates working to expand access to metabolic therapies for brain-based conditions.This is not just a story of nutritional healing, it’s a call to action, a celebration of community, and a reminder that hope is its own form of medicine. Chapters00:00 – Welcome to Ketobiography01:52 – Meet Janet Ebos: Holistic Nutritionist & Advocate05:45 – A Mother’s Mission: Bipolar, Depression & a Search for Answers11:33 – The Ketogenic Connection: From Brain Fog to Clarity19:44 – Continuous Glucose Monitors & Data That Changes Lives27:00 – Supporting Others at Rock Bottom34:18 – The Power of Hope in Nutritional Psychiatry41:25 – Brain Health, Alzheimer’s, and Family Healing47:05 – Inside the Metabolic Collective: A Grassroots Revolution58:02 – Practical Support: How Janet Starts with Clients1:08:44 – Travel, Flexibility, and Healing Beyond Dogma1:16:55 – Strategies from Metabolic Mind & The Think Smart Framework1:22:14 – Where to Find Janet + Volunteer with the Collective1:26:09 – Final Insight: Why Hope—and Stories—Matter MostWhat You’ll Learn in This Episode:- How Janet supported her son through severe bipolar episodes with metabolic tools- Why she ditched sugar and gluten to reclaim her mental clarity- How Metabolic Collective was born and why it's changing lives- Why storytelling and community are essential to sustainable healing- How fun, laughter, and support groups are also forms of metabolic therapy- Why therapeutic ketosis may not be forever, and how to trust your body again- Strategies to gently guide clients into nutritional change without being overwhelmedKey Insight:"Your hope is contagious.
