Keto for Bipolar Remission | Steven T.

📣 Steven T. spent 30 years battling bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and food addiction before a ketogenic diet put him into remission — no medication, no episodes, five years and counting. In this episode, he shares how he got there and what he's building now.📋 In this conversation, Steven T. and I talk about what bipolar remission actually feels like from the inside, how he went from 20 years of vegetarianism to a high-fat beef-only way of eating, and why his daughter Samantha is at the center of everything he does. We also get into the identity questions that come with going public about mental illness, the community spaces he's building for people using metabolic therapies, and what pragmatism over dogmatism actually looks like in practice.🔑 What You'll LearnHow Steven T. achieved five years of bipolar remission without medication through a ketogenic dietWhy he coined HFBO — High Fat Beyond Optimal — and how his approach has evolved over timeWhat it looks like to raise a child on keto for ADHD and OCD, and what he's observed in his daughter SamanthaHow accountability, community, and energy management are as foundational to his mental health as the food itselfWhy he lives by pragmatism over dogmatism and what that means for anyone trying to find their own keto path💡 Key Insight"I can't make deposits all day long and then expect to still have money when Samantha comes home from school." — Steven T.🌐 Connect with Steven T.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MT4MHWebsite: https://findyourketo.netInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/steventrunceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/steventrunceX: https://x.com/StevenTrunceLinkTree: https://linktr.ee/steventrunceCommunity & Support Groups:X Community — Keto Therapy 4 Mental Health: https://x.com/i/communities/1925679302661443714HFBO Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/dtktaWstHUTsGHQ9/Metabolic Brotherhood Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/the-metabolic-brotherhood/Mental Health & Ketogenic Lifestyle Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/mentalhealthandtheketogeniclifestyle💚 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 Introduction2:17 Doing Hard Things Together6:20 Two Very Different Podcast Hosts16:55 Steven T.'s Story — Bipolar, Addiction & 30 Years of Struggle28:34 What Bipolar Remission Actually Feels Like30:08 All In on Fatherhood — Samantha & Keto for ADHD and OCD34:16 From Vegan to HFBO — 20 Years of Vegetarianism44:37 Coining HFBO and Finding Your Keto49:34 Identity, Advocacy & Going Public About Mental Health56:20 Community Groups, the Metabolic Brotherhood & the Book1:10:19 Top 5 Metabolic Mental Health Practices🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
