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.

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. 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. 🔑 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 Instagram: @lowcarbology101 [https://www.instagram.com/lowcarbology101/] Instagram: @metabolic.health.stories [https://www.instagram.com/metabolic.health.stories/] Facebook: facebook.com/jsk722 [https://www.facebook.com/jsk722] #ketobiography #ketogenicdiet #metabolichealth #type2diabetes 🎧 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. 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. 🔑 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: @bright_har6612 [https://x.com/bright_har6612] Instagram: @harmonybright1000 [https://www.instagram.com/harmonybright1000/] #ketobiography #ketogenicdict #metabolichealth #mentalhealth 🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?

Carnivore for Mental Health: Depression, Anxiety & the Whole Family | Christy Kriese

📣 Christy Kriese is back — and two years of strict carnivore have changed not just her life, but nearly everyone around her. 📋 Christy spent years cycling through psychiatric medications, a devastating deprescribing experience, and a depression so severe she was surviving on fewer than 8,000 calories a month. Then, on November 13, 2023, she started carnivore. Now, 890 days in, she still feels better every single day. In this conversation, she and Robyn talk about what changed, who else in her family came along for the ride, and why lived experience is as important as any clinical study. ⏳ Chapters 0:00 Introduction 1:25 Christy's Background and Mental Health History 3:47 Cyclical Depression and the COVID Turning Point 7:09 Deprescribing Gone Wrong 9:20 The $2,600 Psychiatrist and Four Medications in Four Weeks 13:56 What Nobody Talks About: Deprescribing Risks 16:22 From Bedbound to Carnivore: The First Days 22:48 Day Eight Sleep, 890 Days of Feeling Better 24:07 How the Whole Family Joined In 43:20 One-on-Ones, Metabolic Collective, and Helping Others 🔑 What you'll learn: * Why a too-fast medication taper can mimic — or trigger — a psychiatric crisis, and why that's rarely recognized in treatment * How Christy's sleep improved by day eight on carnivore, before almost anything else changed * What happened when her husband, son, son-in-law, daughter, grandkids, and brother-in-law each started carnivore on their own timeline * Why Christy tracks how she feels rather than macros, ketones, or the scale — and why that approach works for her mental health history * How she went from a burner Twitter account called Little Miss Depressive Episode to doing one-on-one crisis support for people across the country * 💡 "Waking up at nighttime wondering if you killed somebody or if you've tried to kill yourself because you can't separate reality from your dreams — that's hard.

Ketones for Mental Health, Brain Injury & Inflammation | KetoneAid Founder

📣 What are exogenous ketones, and who actually needs them? Frank Llosa, founder and CEO of KetoneAid and Hard Ketones, cuts through the marketing noise to explain what works, what doesn't, and why. 📋 From brain fog and traumatic brain injury to sleep, alcohol alternatives, and mental health, this conversation goes deep on how ketones can fill the brain energy gap — and when the ketogenic diet alone is the better answer. Frank breaks down the real science behind ketone esters, ketone salts, and MCT oil, explains why high blood ketone numbers don't tell the whole story, and makes a compelling case for Hard Ketones as an alcohol alternative that works at the biochemical level — not just the buzz. 🔑 What You'll Learn * The critical differences between ketone esters, ketone salts, and MCT oil — and why the molecule matters more than the marketing * Why high blood ketone numbers don't tell the whole story, and what the brain energy gap really means for mental and neurological health * How exogenous ketones may support recovery from traumatic brain injury, and why Frank says TBI patients should default to a ketogenic diet * Why Hard Ketones work as an alcohol alternative — and the surprising biochemistry behind why people crave alcohol in the first place * The one best reason to try a ketone ester: it depends entirely on your biggest deficit 💡 Key Insight "The more that it works, the more that sugar is the problem." — Frank Llosa 🌐 Connect with Frank KetoneAid: https://www.ketoneaid.com [https://www.ketoneaid.com/]  Hard Ketones: https://www.hardketones.com [https://www.hardketones.com/]  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ketoneaid [https://www.facebook.com/ketoneaid]  Check the website for current discount codes and subscription savings — use code FREESHIP for free shipping.
