A Powerful Metabolic Approach to Depression & Bipolar Disorder

The ketogenic therapeutic diet is not just another trend—it’s a clinically validated intervention that can profoundly impact the brain’s chemistry, energy production, and resilience.

This Is Not a Trend—It's a Medical Therapy

The ketogenic diet used for mental health is not the same as a weight-loss keto plan found online. It should be clinically formulated, nutrient-dense, and medically monitored, especially when medications or metabolic conditions are involved.

Why Guidance Matters

✔ Ensures proper therapeutic ketone levels

✔ Protects nutrient status and metabolic safety

✔ Allows for medication adjustments if needed

✔ Personalizes the diet to your brain, history, and goals

✔ Maximizes mental health outcomes with proven clinical strategies

Working with a trained clinician ensures you’re not guessing—you’re implementing a powerful brain-based intervention safely and effectively.

Precision, Root-cause Mental Health

I help you identify and correct the metabolic imbalances that impact your mood, energy, and focus.

When insulin resistance disrupts how your brain and body use energy, it can show up as:

  • Mood swings and anxiety from unstable blood sugar and stress hormones.

  • Brain fog and fatigue as your brain struggles to access steady fuel.

  • Low motivation or depression when inflammation and energy imbalance interfere with neurotransmitters.

Your metabolism isn’t just about weight or energy—it’s a key player in how you think, feel, and function. Restoring balance at the metabolic level helps restore balance in your mind.

Common questions about metabolic mental health

  • A metabolic approach, including the ketogenic diet, isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan — it’s a therapeutic strategy used to improve how your brain and body use energy.

    For some, stabilizing blood sugar and reducing inflammation can lead to clearer thinking, steadier mood, and fewer energy crashes.

    We determine if it’s right for you through careful assessment — reviewing your medical history, labs, and symptoms to ensure it’s safe, effective, and aligned with your goals.

    If your mood, focus, or energy have felt unpredictable or resistant to traditional treatment, this approach may offer the clarity your brain has been missing.

  • I’ve training in functional and metabolic psychiatry through Psychiatry Redefined’s fellowship program and Dr. Georgia Ede’s clinical training. These programs taught me how to apply nutritional and metabolic strategies — including therapeutic ketogenic interventions — to improve brain function, mood, and energy.

  • Yes. Studies from Harvard, Stanford, and leading research centers show that insulin resistance, inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies play a key role in depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Therapeutic metabolic strategies — including ketogenic interventions — are emerging as evidence-based tools for mental health conditions.
