Now, some doctors suggest it can even be used as a tool to treat mental health. Kate Snow reports for TODAY on how a keto-friendly food regimen has been a game changer for one man struggling with bipolar disorder.

I have bipolar disorder and I've also noticed a huge difference on a keto diet
try carnivore for a while and you'll see even better improvements. The results will show after just a few days.
@@KK-lg8uzI’ve got bpd and have tried both diets. Both worked very well for me.
I slipped off the diet for the past year and my symptoms gradually returned. Back to keto now and life is beautiful again!
That’s great! Keep it up and don’t give up! Exercise and have good night sleeps.
You are what you eat. I used to think people were crazy for fasting but I'm a believer now.
I feel nothing but relief when I fast. It's an amazing feeling. In general I think the world is overeating and don't realize it because it's become such a habit. We really don't need much.
a ketogenic or carnivore diet is a fasting mimicking diet so you can prolong that relief if you try it@@CocoPink44
@@CocoPink44then just adopt a fasting mimicking diet. Ketogenic. Carnivore is the best version of it. No plant toxins. You don’t have to fast to get those results, and it’s also a long term solution
Keto has reduced my ADHD symptoms by about 95%. Meanwhile my PMS is 100% gone. I’m getting restful sleep for the first time in my life and just feel…happy. The first few weeks were hard for me but then it got really easy.
Saved my life too. Everyone thought I had lupus. Pain totally gone, my a.d.d. is unmedicated, I could go on and on!
My PMDD went away on carnivore.. it’s truly amazing when you go low to zero carb.
@@RationalNon-conformist Saaaame. I also have ZERO cramps or symptoms of any sort anymore. It's like I don't even know I have my period anymore. It's even gotten a little lighter too. I used to have to take 4 ibuprofen every 4 hours, or I'd be a sad/angry bloated blob of a human rolling around in pain, barely able to do anything. I wish I'd started eating carnivore decades ago 😭
try carnivore for that last 5%
I’m ok it now it improved my mental health in 2019 then I fell off the wagon, I’ve been in quite a dark hole for 12 months and want to hopefully feel the positive effects of keto again, I’m unsure whether I’m getting enough fat in as I know it’s that that does the trick, could you explain what you’d eat in a day please? I’m glad you feel so much better x
When I waiver from the ketogenic diet I become very symptomatic again. It works.
I’ve been keto now for almost 7 years. I adopted this way of eating back in 2017 to reverse type 2 diabetes. Not only did it reverse my diabetes but also non alcoholic fatty liver disease, stage three kidney disease, high cholesterol and more importantly dangerously high triglycerides. It also reversed diabetic neuropathy in my lower legs and feet but that’s not all. It also got rid of painful arthritis and fibromyalgia too. My moods and my energy levels have also improved beyond my wildest dreams. Lifelong heartburn and acid reflux has also disappeared. The list just goes on and on. I’m now over 6 years free of diabetes and free from diabetic medications too. And I know that I’m not alone. Many people around the world are adopting the ketogenic way of eating to reverse diabetes and are getting the very same brilliant results. I have absolutely no worries whatsoever about cholesterol. In fact my most recent blood test results showed that everything was great. My old diabetic nurse told me that I’m not even anywhere near pre diabetic anymore. Amazing what can happen when you replace processed fake/pseudo foods with nothing but real/whole food. My body still continues to thrive. I simply stopped eating that which not only gave me type 2 diabetes but was also continuing to make it worse regardless of the diabetic medications I was taking. My own doctor reckons that I’m healthier now than I was 30 years ago. I’m now 67 years old and feeling great 👍
How do you know your diabetes is cured if you stopped eating sugar and carbs?
@@chrisel4349 that’s a great question. But I never said I was cured. I don’t look upon my recovery from diabetes as me being cured anymore than an alcoholic who has recovered from alcoholism would. Just like someone who’s recovered from alcoholism, I look upon myself as someone who has recovered from diabetes. A recovered alcoholic will never die from alcoholism if they never return to drinking alcohol. I will not die from diabetes either so long as I do not go back eating carbs, starches and sugars. If I went to any doctor today, anywhere in the world and he did blood tests on me he’d be telling me that my results show non diabetic. If I went back to eating carbs then that would be very stupid of me. I no longer have any cravings for sugar nor carbs and I’ve simply no need for them whatsoever in order to live a very happy and healthy life. There are people out there who have been keto for decades and still living very happily and healthy without eating those things and they’re also still free from diabetes. How is type 2 diabetes diagnosed? It’s diagnosed when blood glucose levels are way too high. What makes them way too high? Carbs, starches and sugars. Remove them and you remove the cause. That’s exactly what I did. And remember, not only have I reversed my diabetes by adopting the ketogenic way of eating but also those horrible complications too. My health has hugely improved in many ways. I even sleep better than I ever did during my diabetic years. I wake up every morning now feeling well rested and refreshed and ready to take on the day ahead of me. I lived with type 2 diabetes for ten miserable years, slowly continuing to get worse as the years went by. I faithfully followed all the medical procedures and guidelines I was given by my doctor and my diabetic nurse. But still the disease kept on getting worse. I was told that that was just the nature of this disease and I would have to accept that and just live with that. I became so desperately depressed that there were times when suicide was beginning to really look like an attractive option. Those were very dark times in my life that I never want to go back to. I absolutely in no way find keto restrictive either because the food I’m eating today is delicious and satisfying. So satisfying that I can very easily live on one or two meals daily without the need to snack as I use to do when I was shovelling carbs down my neck. I not only got my health back, I got my life back too, only much better than it’s ever been. The only fault I have found with keto is this. I just very sincerely wish that I had discovered it years sooner than I did because I would’ve saved myself from years of torture. No I don’t for one moment see myself as being cured of diabetes. I see myself as someone who has recovered from this global killer disease (one day at a time) And that is more than good enough for me. The fact is, today I’m neither living with, nor suffering from type 2 diabetes. My doctor is over the moon delighted, so is my former diabetic nurse and I’m very happy too. My doctor has even removed me from the diabetic register in his practice. Why has he done that? In his own words to me, because you’re no longer diabetic.
If your blood sugar is under control without meds.... diabetes is no longer apart of your health issues.... it's "cured" 🎉😂❤
@@chrisel4349if on a ketogenic diet, they are probably still eating carbs (which turn into sugar), just probably not the high amounts of carbs and sugars that made them get diabetes in the first place. If you are cured from a toxin that made you ill, you don't ingest the toxin again after being cured to see if you can tolerate it now. That would be foolish.
@@BarbaraJ1111 yes it is cured and will remain cured so long as I don’t go shovelling carbs, starches and sugars down my neck again 😂 And I don’t think there’s any chance of that ever happening. Some people ask if keto is sustainable. My answer to that is, it all depends on your WHY. Why are you doing keto? If it’s just for weight loss then maybe you could go back to your old bad eating habits. But if you’re doing keto to remain free of a global killer disease then yes, keto is very sustainable then. Apart from that there’s no getting away from the fact that the food on keto is just simply downright delicious so that’s what makes it so very easy to sustain. After almost 7 years I’m still enjoying it and I do feel deprived in anyway whatsoever. Weight loss is also very sustainable on keto as I’m still managing to hold on to my ideal body weight years after I began eating this way, and with very little effort too. I’ve never had to count or restrict calories at all. In fact calories is something that you don’t even need to think about when you’re on keto. You eat until you’re comfortably full then stop. And don’t eat when you’re not hungry. Because you’re no longer craving carbs/sugar you can go for much longer without wanting or needing to eat. Another thing I no longer need to think about too is diabetes. Simply because it’s no longer a problem for me, it’s just not there anymore. Call it whatever you want, remission, reversed, cured? Whatever you want. I personally don’t care so long as I no longer have to live with it.
Guess what? It was never a fad and has been around for centuries. It was used to treat epilepsy before meds were created, and is still used for med-resistant cases (should be used in all cases, IMO). There are also books written as early as the late 1700s talking about carb restriction for obesity and it is also well documented in helping to reverse type 2.
Just because you haven’t heard of it, and it seemingly becomes popular “all of a sudden,” doesn’t make it a fad.
or try 2.5 million years of evolution
@@PeterAbbeYep, that stretch of human evolution with hunting and eating big game and having no industrially refined carbs allowed my body to adapt to keto very easily!
Yeah they said this in the video
I've been on a carnivore diet for the three weeks. My neuropathy, tinnitus and heading have greatly improved.
Your tinnitus has improved? That is great to (not) hear. My tinnitus has never seemed to improve.
tinnitus is a neuro inflammatory condition. Keto/carnivore reduces inflammation significantly, so it makes sense. No sugar/ketones are good for this and also plant compounds are causing further inflammation so not eating those also makes sense@@mattgil73
tinnitus is a neuro inflammatory disorder so a zero carb carnivore diet would help it massively and potentially even cure it. Ketones reduce systemic inflammation@@mattgil73
I've been on keto for 11 days now. Reading this I just realized my tinnitus is gone. Thanks!
@@mattgil73tinnitus can be caused by impacted ear wax or ear drum damage.
Keto is not a “fad diet”. It’s a way of life that I’ve been living for almost five years now, and I’ve never felt better in my adult life.
The pharmaceutical industry will not allow this to happen. They need to make money by having everyone on pills
Fortunately, it's not up to the pharmaceutical industry!
Absolutely!
They don't need to make money, they want to make money.
It's not just Big Pharma, it's Big Ag, too. Pushing wheat, soybeans, rice, and potatoes. But it's my wallet. ;)
Luckily they can't control what we eat.
I did Keto a few years back and the first improvement I noticed was the mental clarity after a few weeks on keto. Then the chronic pain I'd had for over 15 years was gone. No sugar, white flour, seed oils nor any processed junk food and I feel great. As soon as I deviate from low carb I start to feel poorly.A very low carb diet has been very beneficial for me.
Wow didnt think main stream media would be allowed to say good things about keto. Way to go!
Been keto 5 yrs and I agree. Keto is used for seizures, also. Anti seizure meds are used for BPD. Therefore why wouldn't keto also work for BPD??
I have BPD comorbid bipolar II. I've been in therapy for more than two years. I also take anti-psychotics. I'll definitely give keto a try and hopefully it improves my conditions.
Nice to see this getting some attention mainstream. Diet should always be part of any plan to get well!
Again , i'm so proud of you all and your network for letting the public know that there are so many alternatives , especially functional medicine. And how what you put in your body can heal you. Lett food would be thy medicine.❤
Good for you Matt! I’m currently reading Dr. Palmers book, Brain Energy, and I’m learning so much!
It's a great book. I pre-ordered it and have read it twice.
👏🙏😘🙏
Brain energy is awesome! Great read or listen.
I read it and started keto. My energy has been insane and lost 2 pounds in a week.
@@Metachief_X congratulations!
Emerging knowledge on gut-brain science and concepts such as Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis are important in the link between diet and mental health.
Yes, and also things like inflammation in the brain and glucose hypo or hypermetabolism in the brain can affect our mental health. There’s also evidence starting to come out about how keto can have epigenetic effects which can help with neurotransmitter production.
@@juliesaadwellness Aah, YES! Who would have thought that diet would be so therapeutic? And all the underlying scientific evidence? Amazing! Isn’t it?
Wondering how the mental health effects of ketogenic diet compare with those (if any) of Mediterranean and indigenous diets from around the world.
@@matseporamaboli4275A Mediteranean diet can be ketogenic. Inigenous diets from around the world are for the most part naturally ketogenic. Even a vegan diet can be ketogenic, although that one is a little harder to pull off, but there are people doing it. The medical ketogenic diet Dr. Palmer and others in his field use though, is a diet with quite a high fat percentage to ensure patients have good ketone levels.
@@matseporamaboli4275 Mediterranean diet is just meat and more carbs. There would be no healing. Ancient indigenous diets are all ketogenic, so of course they would work.
Amazing❤ carni here since 2019 its great!
Thank God for Chris Palmer! He’s an amazing doctor who chooses to help people regardless of what other so-called experts say!
Dr Georgia Ede’s new book will be a paradigm-changer too! 😅
Just because there’s not an abundance of research does not mean that is not even more effective than a medication. Many people understand and believe the fact that if you eat high sugar/high carbohydrate/high fat & very unhealthy foods that it will lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart issues, depression, etc, but those same people think it’s outlandish that very healthy foods could cure or prevent those same diseases. When you truly think about that fact, it makes absolutely no sense. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry is very powerful and it’s hard to fund any type of research study on something that is not going to make them money. Why is it so outlandish that the type of food we put in our body could cure or prevent a disease, but acceptable that a pill produced by a pharmaceutical industry will fix the problem?
Search the lectures from Paul Mason, Chris Palmer (doctor in the video) and Dave Feldman. This is all very new research (within the last 3 years) but they are turning the Medical literature upside down and pharmaceutical companies will not be happy with these pioneers
You're exactly right it's as if people are brainwashed into thinking that what they KNOW to be healthy eating is somehow too radical to be safe. Very sad state of society.
Thanks to dr. Ken Berry he saved my life with ketogenic/ carnivire diet in 2022, when i almost died from some toxic meds that my previvew primary dictor that hw was thinking about profirs over my health😢. Dr. Chris Palmer saved my sin with Autusm non verbal. After 30 years my sin in keto for 2 years he finaly call me MOM❤. God bless dr. Chris Palmer and dr. Ken Berry🙏
Amazing!❤️
Thank you, Dr Berry, Dr Palmer and others of your persuasion for all the valuable work you do. 🙏
It's really great to see people in the mainstream start to make the connection between the food/chemicals we put into our bodies and resultant disease. There are also studies looking at the link between metabolic health and Alzheimer's; even to the point of referring to Alzheimer's as Type 3 Diabetes. Lots of other encouraging stuff on the Metabolic Mind RUclips channel if anyone reading this cares to check them out.
Naysayers against Keto complain about the Challenges of following a restrictive diet? So living with bipolar or a mental illness is easy? It's not a challenge?
Thank- you so much for covering this!! We are a family who have been doing this now for a few years, and it’s been life changing!
Why not try it there’s nothing to lose!
I started keto 10 years ago. I went off it for the past year and my bipolar symptoms have returned. Im starting again tomorrow.
My neurologist had me on two meds and keto has knocked out my seizures. Doctors need to offer this as an option. It is not a fad but therapeutic.
Agreed. Keto is NOT a fad…! 🥩
It's not yet standard of care and if Pharma has any say in it, it never will be. Since Pharma is the predominant funding source of medical schools, its very unlikely that it will become the standard of care for a long time.
This works! I’m so glad they are featuring this in the Today show.
Matt has an awesome recovery story! Ketosis for the win!
Crazy. Keto was also discovered many years ago to help with seizures and epilepsy.
I felt so much calmer on a keto diet without nasty diet softdrinks and after just 6 weeks my blood sugar went from high risk for diabetes to normal, my cholesterol went from almost clinically needing medication to normal, my angina disappeared with regular brisk walking and i lost 40kg in 18 months.
Diet and exercise is a LOT.
That’s so great! I believe it 💯. Keto has helped me get through many illnesses and over am my life has improved amazingly. I used to get recurring shingles every month since the age of 22. I began Keto at the age of 33 and at first it was shingles every two to three months and then this year at the age of 35i went from August all the way to February not having a shingles flair up!! It felt freeing. I get sick less often now which helps to keep my recurring shingles to a minimum. Keto works for me and it may work for others ❤
Keto truly is healthy for everyone! Even the elderly with signs of Alzheimer's. Plus, it's a delicious and flavorful way of eating.
And beware of the company Amare saying you need their EXPENSIVE products to get these results!! Lies! What this man has done is the answer, so happy for him!❤🙂
It’s almost like it’s our natural diet, ie the one humans evolved on.
Thank you for spreading awareness on this powerful tool for so many people.
Of course he cant say that diet can fix most things; what would happen to big pharma?!?
*It's a powerful reminder of the significance of nutrition in supporting mental well-being.*
Wonderful that the family has the resources to contribute to research to see how/if this really helps.
Yeah, David has fat stacks, roblox generates like billions.
So great to see this being show on the Today show. I stumbled on keto to help with weight gain caused by medication for my bipolar and somehow had never heard of the research being done in this field. I have heard of epilepsy meds also being used for bipolar for years but never knew of the connection with the keto diet and epilepsy. After just a few days on keto I was absolutely amazed by the positive effect it had on my mood, my sleep and my energy! I'm so incredibly greatful for this and it's truly life changing for me as well.
Keto works!!!!!
Dr. Berg has told us this for a long time!
KETO is simply. Atkins DIET! The man was ahead of his time! Keto fixes mental health issues!!!!!
Not quite true. Keto is more restrictive then Atkins diet.
@@greatdude7279How is that? Atkins is a low carb, high protein diet. Keto is a low carb, moderate protein and high fat diet. They are quite similar and there is huge variety of foods available on a ketogenic diet. 5 years for us and we absolutely love our food.
Keto and Adkins are NOT the same...
I can tell you for a fact being in ketosis put my neurological disorder (dystonia) in remission. I had to have Botox injections in my leg to be able to just move. After two years in ketosis i stopped the injections. No signs of dystonia. I too thought it was too good to be true and went back to eating lots of processed crap. The dystonia is coming back. So I’m back in ketosis. And it’s not linked to heart disease.
Because food is medicine
Keto can be a proper human diet. Anyone who gets away from the standard American diet will see improvements. So many things wrong with what we are told to eat, it’s not for our health but it’s very profitable for the medical system and for big pharma.
I'm so glad this is finally getting media attention!!! I wish they would've mentioned that he has already been able to taper off most of his meds!😊
This is awesome news! I also believe our diet plays a role in our mental health. This is hopeful.
I am so glad to finally see this topic being covered on network news.😅
So good!
A very low carb diet saved me life back in 1989. It all started by incident: I was missing my lousy boyfriend and crying a lot… All I ate for two days was toast and margarine, and I drank herbal tea instead of my usual 2 litres of cola… My, I felt so much better all of a sudden, with my mind and memory working normally for the first time in six months! I even left the bum and could go back to work!
Amazing!!!
Its clear the problem was the food processed carbs , i was handicapped since i did keto i can walk n run.
We went from Keto to carnivore(550 days now). Glad, were beef farmers meat can be expensive...
Awesome. ❤
What’s old is new again. This was explored decades ago by pioneers like Dr Hoffer and Dr Osmond but was considered too radical and was suppressed by the medical community.
Yes niacin was precribed for schiz!!!molecular psychiatry!
Many non pharmaceutical interventions get suppressed by the medical community. Funny how that is.
Dr. Westman on keto diet is amazing.
He was the physician who had the first patient known to recovery from psychotic illness with keto!
I'm on carnivore diet now, it started as ketogenic GAPS. After 3 weeks in I started smiling again. After 3 months in I started managing anxiety. Keto is a powerful mental health tool
I was always skeptical about cutting out carbs. But now I know it works. After 2 months of cutting out carbs and added sugar, I went for a checkup at my doctor. My blood pressure and blood sugar were absolutely perfect. My cholesterol was 289. The doctors wanted to put me on medication for cholesterol and I said no thanks. I told him I've been cutting out carbs, and he asked me why. I said because carbs spiked your blood sugar which can cause heart disease. He says to me sugar isn't really a problem. LOL. He says to me just eat whatever you want and portion size. I just said yeah okay and left. Then he says stay away from the eggs and red meat and full fat dairy.
Umm. You need a new doctor.
We should start posting Dr names who act like God but are completely ignorant. My doctor told me 45 years ago I would never have children. 2 kids later I have a schizophrenia child who they said would never live a normal life. Well thank you keto and Dr Palmer cause wrong again. NIH told me second lie.i ignore most of them now. I've always ate healthy and take zero pills at 70. My first born was cured of his ADHD w diet and that was before the internet. Keep on doing what your doing.
Great story. It would have been better if you would have included that for that hundred years of using the diet that it was for the treatment of epilepsy. That would have made the diet look legit.
Having a teenager with bipolar I/ possibly schizoaffective vitamin therapy and a ketogenic diet have finally helped stabilize her. Its not easy, her behavior gets worse when she eats anything that’s not on her diet.
It’s not just your mental health,thousands of people completely resolve years of chronic disease weight problems,gut problems of every kind, diabetes and many more. Just eat what humans were meant to eat. Animal products and lots of animal fat,protein,eggs, fish. Plants have nothing that humans need but come with a lot of problematic lectins,oxalates,carcinogens and anti nutrients that cause all kinds of problems in most humans! 😊
"Let Food Be Thy Medicine" - Hippocrates
What?! Eat real food to heal? No way! 😂
I have been carnivore which is a ketogenic diet and it has remarkably improved my cognitive function and I’ve lost all excess fat
Also for seizures. The Charlie Foundation 🙏
Not too good to be true- helped me with pmdd!!! Night and Day difference. Could help women with severe pms
Keto helps with PCOS and most autoimmune disorders as well. Plus gout and GERD and et cetera…
There's nothing wrong with mixing it all together - exercise, water, good nutrition, and medication. I used to know a lady who was schizophrenic. She took meds, exercised, drank water the right way, intermittent fasted (this was in the late 1990s!), and ate good nutrition, like plenty of fish. She had ZERO symptoms.
This is the answer.
I noticed when i was doing KETO, I seemed happy. And 4 months after I stopped the KETO diet, I feel anxious and depressed. I will be using the keto method once again. I'm curious.
Stick to it! It gets better with time in my opinion. Gotta let your body heal.
You know what else improves mental health - doing something you believe in and adds a sense of meaning to your life.
If you don’t feel well, you can’t do well.
Is it just intermittent fasting or what can you eat on this diet? Just avoid carbs?
Great question! A ketogenic diet typically lowers carbohydrates enough so your body switches from burning glucose (sugar) for energy to burning fat, either stored body fat or dietary fat. As a result, your liver creates ketones, which your brain and body can use for energy. You can achieve ketosis with multiple types of diets, including vegan, vegetarian, Mediterranean, omnivore, and carnivore. Intermittent fasting is also a tool used by many to help with being in ketosis.
Mostly fatty meat and eggs. Add some low-carb vegetables if you want and a few seeds, nuts and berries, if you want. Or just eat carnivore, like me. I only eat fatty beef.
Animal protein and low carb veggies
My one-stop recommend for a YT channel to watch is Dr. Ken Berry’s. Through this channel he and his wife Nurse Neisha Salas-Berry will guide you to just about any reputable nutritionistmedical practitioner out there. 👍
A fat steak and mashed potatoes does wonders for my mental health.
No kidding!
No mashed potatoes, they are high in carbs.Not good for keto
I understand not stopping meds, but why not change your diet? It’s worth a shot. If it doesn’t seem to help, then you can always stop, but given that ketones are the brain’s preferred fuel source and that insulin resistance of the brain can lead to so many other things: Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, etc., why not try it?
Pharma's control of medical schools, nutritional schools, medical journals, regulating agencies within government (i.e. FDA), media, and the government has made a concerted effort into scaring people about the ketogenic diet. That's why many people won't consider it. But I agree with you, why not try something that is very inexpensive and has a low adverse event risk. Side effects may include fatty liver reversal, lower blood pressure, weight loss (if over weight), less aches and pains, neuropathy reversal, diabetes reversal, PCOS reversal, better HDL cholesterol levels, and better triglyceride levels. But, but, but...my LDL cholesterol might go up a bit! Then again it might not. Also your LDL will definitely become healthier, even if it does go up some.
I feel like "treatment resistant" would probably be related to a failure to address the root cause of the problem. They try to "overpower" the problem with powerful medications and then call it "treatment resistant" when they hit a stone wall. Obviously I'm talking from a laymen's perspective and I have no degree in anything, but everyone is capable of doing their own research into diet options.
This is 100% true.
Welcome USA Today and Western Medicine to food-is-medicine! Just wait until they find out what eating raw, organic and fasting does for does for overall health.
Psychologists have been saying for at least 20 years that a diet full of fish and vegetables will alleviate depression and mental illness. There were studies years ago that found fish oil and a healthy diet containing fish and vegetables did a better job than anti-depressants. Doctors in Europe used to recommend it before patients resorted to anti-depressants (which have numerous serious side effects).
Humans are carnivores.

🥩🍳🧈🔪🧂
They are NOT
We didn’t start out that way. Everything, from Adam and Eve, to the animals, were all created by YHVH, incarnate bodily in Jesus Christ, to eat from the trees and plants, because the world was created perfectly, and dèath did not enter the world until sìn entered the world, when Adam willingly disobeyed YHVH, and Eve was deceived into disobedience to Him. Even after Adam and Eve were removed from the Garden of Eden, there’s no change to their diet mentioned until after the flood, when YHVH gave Noah and his family instructions that they could eat everything, including the wild beasts of the earth. Scripture does say after the fall in the Garden, the first dèath was the animal YHVH had to kìIl to make coverings for the nakedness of Adam and Eve, which is pointing to God’s future incarnation as the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ, when He would be the final and only sàcrifce at the cross to provide His shed ßIood as a covering for our nakedness, all who believe on Christ as their God and Savior, as nakedness in scripture is often used as a reference to sìn. When Christ returns and establishes His earthly kingdom, scripture says that the beasts of the animal kingdom will play with children, with no fear of one another, and it seems to be because humans and animals will once again exist in fellowship with each other like in the Garden before the fall, which means animals no longer have to fear being kìIled and eaten for food.
They're omnivores.
This whole piece is full of some cringeworthy “criticism” of the diet. But at least the message is finally hitting the mainstream “today show” viewers
" that fad diet" 😅
It's NOT too good to be true!
Try it. 😊
You mean eating Whole Foods like fresh meats and vegetables is healthy? Say it isn't so, how would this be a restrictive diet?, Why because it's lacking bread and ice cream?
Lol..
Works for type 2 diabetes .
I have read probiotics can help also.
I wish someone would sumerize what the Keto diet consists of..
nice
TECTON 8oz wKetones!👍
🥩🍳🧈🧂🔪
Hoda is right!!!
How does one find a practitioner? If i look up psychiatrist near me it isn't bringing up anything to indicate whether they would be knowledgeable about any of this.
Thank you.
We do have a directory on the metabolic mind website. Or Georgia Ede's Diet Doctor site. (same directory)
I think people have differing abilities to eat carbs. Some people thrive on fruit, others like me can't tolerate much at all. A low carb vegan diet works well for me. I would suggest finding your level of carbs and go on how you feel.
Duh!
come on folks, back to the basics, eat clean, stay away from processed foods. Its easy. They are making it sound like this is a break through.
For serious mental illness, early data is showing that the level of nutritional ketosis maps to symptom improvement, so ketosis seems to matter. Not just removing processed foods.
Intermittent fasting and Keto is amazing, it makes my depression SIGNIFICANTLY better. Also a strong dose of psilocybin mushrooms to rewire can help.
I don't know what keto is...exactly...but I like carbs.
My good cholesterol has incredibly improved on keto, but get this: my bad cholesterol is almost 550!
How are your triglycerides though? I saw one cardiologist who said that remnant cholesterol is where it's at. Take the total cholesterol and subtract the HDL and LDL. It should be quite low, meaning, very little inflammation in the body. And, low triglycerides is another important factor. This is what I am most concerned with.
