She Cured 5 Mental Illnesses in 12 Weeks

from Metabolic Mind

Can ketogenic therapy help treat multiple mental health disorders at once? In this video, we explore a dramatic case report where ketogenic therapy put bipolar depression, binge eating disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD into remission. Clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Louise Bellamy joins Dr. Bret Scher to discuss her recently published case report of a 38-year-old woman whose life went from “a mind shattered now restored” in just 12 weeks on a medically supervised ketogenic therapy program. Results so impressive that it forced other practitioners to dismiss the results as being “clinically improbable.” In this interview, we cover:- How achieving higher therapeutic ketone levels impacted her mental health symptoms- How they tailored her diet to achieve a level of ketosis that kept her symptoms in remission- Why ketogenic therapy may target shared mechanisms across psychiatric diagnoses- The concept of trans-diagnostic remission and treating root causes, not just symptoms- The role of dietary compliance, food addiction awareness, and tailored guidance- How ketogenic therapy can work alongside medications or as a primary intervention for some patientsWhile the results from this case report may seem out of this world, again and again we are seeing ketogenic therapy provide impressive levels of relief for individuals who are really struggling with mental illness. We hope that these stories will reset the expectations for what is possible in psychiatric care. #MetabolicMind #KetogenicTherapy #MentalHealth #Psychiatry #BipolarDisorder #PTSD #ADHD #Anxiety #BingeEatingDisorder #NutritionAndMentalHealthExpert Featured:- Dr. Erin Louise Bellamy - Website: ikrt.org- X: https://x.com/erinlbellamy- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erinlouisebellamy/?hl=enResources Mentioned:Transdiagnostic remission of psychiatric comorbidity in post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, and binge-eating disorder using ketogenic metabolic therapy: a retrospective case reporthttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/392930410_Transdiagnostic_remission_of_psychiatric_comorbidity_in_post-traumatic_stress_disorder_ADHD_and_binge-eating_disorder_using_ketogenic_metabolic_therapy_a_retrospective_case_reportFollow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.Learn more about metabolic psychiatry and find helpful resources at https://metabolicmind.org/
