Keto for Bipolar Remission | Steven T.

📣 Steven T. spent 30 years battling bipolar disorder, substance abuse, and food addiction before a ketogenic diet put him into remission — no medication, no episodes, five years and counting. In this episode, he shares how he got there and what he's building now. 📋 In this conversation, Steven T. and I talk about what bipolar remission actually feels like from the inside, how he went from 20 years of vegetarianism to a high-fat beef-only way of eating, and why his daughter Samantha is at the center of everything he does. We also get into the identity questions that come with going public about mental illness, the community spaces he's building for people using metabolic therapies, and what pragmatism over dogmatism actually looks like in practice. 🔑 What You'll Learn * How Steven T. achieved five years of bipolar remission without medication through a ketogenic diet * Why he coined HFBO — High Fat Beyond Optimal — and how his approach has evolved over time * What it looks like to raise a child on keto for ADHD and OCD, and what he's observed in his daughter Samantha * How accountability, community, and energy management are as foundational to his mental health as the food itself * Why he lives by pragmatism over dogmatism and what that means for anyone trying to find their own keto path 💡 Key Insight "I can't make deposits all day long and then expect to still have money when Samantha comes home from school." — Steven T. 🌐 Connect with Steven T.

Keto as Your Foundation for Whatever Life Throws at You | Rob Harris

📣 Rob Harris was a lifetime nonsmoker, metabolically healthy, and doing everything right. Then came the lung cancer diagnosis — metastatic, fast-moving, and devastating. What happened next is a story about what a healthy baseline actually buys you when the unthinkable arrives. 📋 Rob is my dad. He appeared on Episode 6B of Less of Me Success Stories — the predecessor to Ketobiography — and briefly at the end of The Cholesterol Code film. That makes this conversation part of my Cholesterol Code series. This update was a year in the making. We talk about the metabolic foundation Rob built before his diagnosis, what happened when cancer hit hard and fast, how he used targeted therapy, a keto meal replacement, and sheer stubbornness to come back from the edge — and why his oncologist called him a miracle. We also talk about hope: what it does, what losing it looks like, and why it may matter as much as anything else. 🔑 What You'll Learn * Why a strong metabolic baseline before a crisis may be the most important health investment you can make * How Rob's low carb lifestyle influenced his response to chemotherapy and targeted cancer therapy * What a CEA tumor marker is and what Rob's numbers looked like from diagnosis to remission * Why hope isn't soft — and what a doctor saying "I'm going to get you feeling well again" actually does for a patient * How Rob rebuilt muscle, appetite, and mobility from near zero, one baby step at a time 💡 Key Insight "I was floored when I found out my diagnosis, but I was really happy that I was healthy before that happened." — Rob Harris 🌐 Connect with Rob Harris Rob Harris appeared on Episode 6B of Less of Me Success Stories: https://youtube.com/live/lq6iY_EvnvA [https://youtube.com/live/lq6iY_EvnvA] Rob is featured briefly at the end of The Cholesterol Code — streaming on Amazon: https://cholesterolcodemovie.com [https://cholesterolcodemovie.com/] ⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions. ⏳ Chapters 0:47 Introduction 2:37 Getting Into Low Carb for Metabolic Health 3:08 The Cancer Diagnosis 5:13 Responding Well to Treatment 7:18 The Baseline That Kept Him Alive 9:51 You Can't Put All Your Eggs in the Keto Basket 12:56 Miracle or Hard Work? 14:18 Regaining Weight with Health Code 18:06 The Power of Hope 29:11 Cancer Thrives on Sugar 30:02 Tumor Markers and Targeted Therapy 36:09 Baby Steps and the Magic Trick 🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?

Parkinson's: From Using a Cane to Deadlifting 135 lbs | Mimi Morgan

📣 Mimi Morgan was given less than a 50% chance of surviving the next 18 months. Today she's deadlifting 135 pounds and training for the 500-mile Camino de Santiago. This is what changed. 📋 Mimi is a wellness coach, certified personal trainer, and Metabolic Health practitioner who faced Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, a stroke, and a life-threatening MRSA spinal infection — all within a few years of each other. She went from using a walker and losing hope at a mailbox to building muscle, coming off all medication, and now coaching others with Parkinson's through metabolic and movement-based restoration. This is her full two-year update. 🔑 What You'll Learn * How Mimi reduced her Parkinson's medication dependency by shifting to a high-fat, low-carb diet and eventually came off all medication after three and a half years * Why the "mailbox moment" — not a dramatic breakthrough — was the turning point that saved her life, and what she did with just 10 steps a day * How a MRSA spinal infection destroyed vertebrae L2, L3, and part of L4, and why she still carries the bacteria today and manages around it * What her coaching approach looks like for people with Parkinson's — including PWR moves, macro tracking, protein timing, and the mental shift she considers non-negotiable * Why muscle mass may be one of the most important investments you can make before illness strikes, and what she tells clients who want a quick fix 💡 Key Insight "The act of taking 10 more steps was — I'm worth 10 more steps. That was all I could do, that was all I had in me, but I was worth those 10 steps." — Mimi Morgan 🌐 Connect with Mimi Morgan Website: https://www.just10moresteps.com [https://www.just10moresteps.com/] X: https://x.com/mimikmorgan [https://x.com/mimikmorgan] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mimimorgank [https://www.instagram.com/mimimorgank] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559122019739 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559122019739] ⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions. ⏳ Chapters 0:47 Introduction 2:39 Five-Year Cliff Notes — Dupuytren's, RA, and Parkinson's 5:47 The Stroke, the Tainted IV, and MRSA 9:12 Given Less Than 50% Chance of Surviving 12:04 The Mailbox Moment 14:49 Worth 10 More Steps 15:54 Discovering Low Carb and Running on Ketones 30:06 Two-Year Update — Training, Coaching, and What's Changed 31:57 The Mental Shift That Made Everything Else Possible 41:38 PWR Moves, Muscle, and Who Mimi Coaches 🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?

Reversing Type 2 Diabetes in 3 Months | Joomee Kyler

📣 Joomee Kyler spent a lifetime cycling through illness after illness — chronic infections, depression, gestational diabetes, thyroid cancer — until a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis on December 8, 2022 became the day that changed everything. Within three months, her labs looked unrecognizable. Within a year, so did her life. 📋 In this episode, Joomee shares how she approached keto and intermittent fasting without overcomplicating it, what her therapeutic fasting protocol actually looked like, and the long list of conditions that quietly resolved along the way — sleep apnea, fatty liver, GERD, depression, anxiety, chronic hives, and more. She also talks about what it means to become your own health advocate when the system has failed you, and how she now supports others through accountability groups and her passion project, Metabolic Health Stories. 🔑 What You'll Learn * How a lifetime of unresolved illness connected back to insulin resistance long before a diabetes diagnosis * The simple, no-macro-counting keto and fasting approach Joomee used to reverse Type 2 diabetes in 3 months * How to ease into therapeutic fasting — from 16 hours to 72 hours — without overwhelming your body * Why the conditions that resolved alongside diabetes were just as significant as the lab numbers * How Joomee now mentors others and why becoming your own advocate is the throughline of her story 💡 Key Insight "I feel like the luckiest person in the world because I discovered keto and intermittent fasting on the exact same day I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes — it completely changed my life and gave me my future back." — Joomee Kyler 🌐 Connect with Joomee Kyler Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lowcarbology101 [https://www.instagram.com/lowcarbology101] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/metabolic.health.stories [https://www.instagram.com/metabolic.health.stories] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jsk722 [https://www.facebook.com/jsk722] ⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions. 🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?

Keto For Schizophrenia | Harmony Bright

📣 Harmony Bright was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 30, spent 13 years on heavy psychiatric medications, and then accidentally changed everything with food. This is the most-watched episode on the Ketobiography YouTube channel — and it earned that by fitting exactly what this podcast is here to share. 📋 Harmony's story covers schizophrenia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, chronic inflammation, spinal injury, and a medication journey that left her barely able to participate in life. What pulled her out wasn't a prescription. It was a ketogenic diet she stumbled into while trying to reduce inflammation — and the realization, years later, that it had been quietly giving her her life back. 🔑 What You'll Learn * How a therapeutic ketogenic diet can produce measurable improvements in schizophrenia symptoms * What medication-induced metabolic damage looks like and how diet can work around it * Why tapering psychiatric medication can look like relapse — and how to tell the difference * How glucose and ketone levels interact during withdrawal and why that matters * Why individualized troubleshooting, a CGM, and a support system are essential during a keto-based taper 💡 Key Insight "What people see me do when I start feeling those symptoms come on — they'll see me reaching for a meat stick or a fat bomb to lower my glucose. That's the difference of being psychotic and not being in control, and taking control of your illness. That's how you control it with food." — Harmony Bright 🌐 Connect with Harmony Bright X: https://x.com/bright_har6612 [https://x.com/bright_har6612] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harmonybright1000 [https://www.instagram.com/harmonybright1000] ⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions. 🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
