In the last few years, using the ketogenic way of eating as a metabolic therapy to treat mental health conditions like schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder has become more common. To the point where I regularly get comments urging me to go on keto myself! However, as I continued to get comments about keto and its supposed positive effects, I decided I needed to look into the science to truly get the big picture of the whole…ketogenic metabolic therapy situation.
And what I found, shocked me.
This video is the result of that research, and is my response to anyone who has ever told me to go on keto.
I won’t be, and this is why.
Enjoy and maybe… tell me what you think :)
