Most people will experience tremendous reductions in anxiety within three days to three weeks of starting a ketogenic diet.

In fact, we did a study where patients with bipolar disorder, major depression, or schizophrenia tried the ketogenic diet and 43% achieved clinical remission from their chronic mental illness and 64% of them left on less psychiatric medication because it improves the balance of chemicals in the brain. But the question is, what's causing those chemical imbalances in the first place?

And so let's start there.

And so let's start there.

People need to know how powerful nutrition strategies can be for the brain because if you're feeding it the wrong way, things will go wrong. And that's exactly what happened to me. My health was declining in my early 40s in ways that was true for a lot of my patients. Chronic fatigue and IBS, being really anxious and depressed. And so I did all kinds of tests and they said there's nothing wrong.

And so I did all kinds of tests and they said there's nothing wrong.

Of course there was something wrong. So I instinctively started experimenting with my diet. And the diet that I ended up on was backwards from what we're told is healthy for us. It should theoretically kill me, but it resolved every single one of my symptoms.

And so I studied for years learning things about food that most people don't know and which foods contain the nutrients the brain needs or the ingredients that damage the brain and found three principles of nutrition. They can help you in ways no medicine can, as well as improve mood, memory, concentration, stamina, productivity. So let's unpack that.

I'm a psychiatrist specializing in nutritional and metabolic psychiatry. So how food affects the brain and how food affects brain metabolism and how brain metabolism affects our mental health.

Yes, it's a very new field and really exciting field. The term itself was coined by Dr. Shabani Sethi, who's a metabolic psychiatrist at Stanford University, maybe five years ago or so, maybe a little longer than that. So it's a very, very new field. It's even newer than the other exciting new field in psychiatry, which is nutritional psychiatry.

And so, and this is a really exciting time to be a psychiatrist. And it's also a really exciting time or a hopeful time and empowering time for people with mental health conditions, because we're finally able to
