Keto Reversing Bipolar? -

CoSci (Collaborative Science Conference) is a charity fundraising event to raise money for the Citizen Science Foundation. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to CitizenScienceFoundation.org/... - and thank you for your support.
In his talk, Matt Baszucki shares a transformative journey from struggling with bipolar disorder to achieving remarkable mental health improvements through the ketogenic diet. He recounts his early college years filled with poor habits, leading to severe manic episodes and multiple involuntary hospitalizations. Despite extensive traditional psychiatric treatments, including medication and therapy, his condition remained dire. The turning point came in 2020 when he adopted a ketogenic diet under the guidance of Dr. Chris Palmer and the Charlie Foundation, which led to a drastic reduction in symptoms and the stabilization of his mood. Matt's story is not just about personal triumph; it has grown into a broader mission through his family foundation, promoting the intersection of metabolic and mental health and funding clinical trials for ketogenic therapy. His recovery has enabled him to pursue a career in tech, engage in creative endeavors, and live a life once thought impossible. Matt Baszucki's journey is a testament to the potential of dietary intervention in managing mental health conditions and the importance of exploring holistic approaches to wellbeing.

Shout out to his mom, as she was the force that did the research and supported this healing journey. However, congratulations to Matt for doing his own work. Dad was there too, doing his part.

His testimony on how nutrition has healed his severe mental/metabolic health. I am still in awe. ❤

[@user-wookim007]

Thank you for sharing your story. My child at his twenties has suffered from aspergers has been getting better every week with medical keto diet. His aggression, anxiety and depression got much better like 90 percent in 3 months. You are helping many people who are desperate by sharing your story courageously.

Great job, Matt. All the best for the future!

His story was riveting. Thanks for sharing your story Matt!

[@MichaelBLive]

Matt is a rock star!

In just the last few days a new study came out (funded by the Baszucki Group) that supports this as a treatment for severe psychological disorders.

Thank you for sharing your story Matt! It gives hope to so many suffering. I went high fat ketovore a year and a half ago and I am not getting debilitating migraines and emotional imbalances anymore. I suffered for 25 years. I can’t even express how liberating and life changing it has been! Proper food, sleep and exercise seems to be the best medicine. Please keep sharing your experience!

Thanks for your powerful testimony, Matt. 🙏 We loved your March Madness comment and your description of beer as “College Low Carb.”😂😂😂

So fantastic that you got him to this conference and that he gave such an amazing presentation! Just absolutely 🤯. Great job. BOTH OF YOU! The quality and level of the talks so far have just been next level.

I met Jan, Mat's mum on the 2 nd KetoLive in Bergün Switzerland and heard about her son's story. Having Bipolar Disorder as well I realized what Mat and his wonderful family achieved.
Thanks a lot for all what are you doing. I wonder if I am the only Bipolar LMHR ????

[@heathermitchell5053]

I found this out in 2019 after withdrawing cautiously then looking at diet, starting with cutting out sugar, then processed foods, then using keto diet. Still affected now if I even have a little of something with sugar and/or processed food.

[@nictegki]

Thank you so much

[@anomarnamloh7444]

@Dave Feldman. I'm so ready to look, listen and learn. Thank you

[@lexamdelac28]

Amazing! I've heard the story before but great presentation. I'm wondering if Matt ever experienced potentiation of his medication's side effects while on keto diet?

[@norahfarooq8681]

Excellent talks and questions too. Thank you for all the good work

[@lexamdelac28]

Also absolutely incredible that Matt could get by for some time going to bed at 2:30am and be fine. Having either bipolar/schizoaffective, I've been SUPER strict with my sleep for years now, hoping keto might alleviate that but of course, I understand the importance of sleep, just would like to bend here and there without fear. And the ketone levels he got were really high when he started - I wonder if the numbers matter over time on the diet.

dr Mercola and others finally realized Keto is NO Good Long term YES short term but once one looses weight one must introduce more carbs like Dr Atkins also said..
