25. Ketogenic Therapy: is this a cure for mental illnesses? With guest Donika Hristova
Manage episode 417035788 series 3530776
Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, binging, voices, or perhaps a combination of these? You’re not alone. Mental illness is the most prevalent illness in modern society. It has reached epidemic proportions.
What would you be prepared to do to make it stop?
If you aren’t personally afflicted, I bet you know somebody who is. Mental illness can affect every facet of your life, including your health, your relationships and your job.
Whereas it’s easy to consider mental illness as genetic, or the "luck of the draw", or perhaps a result of trauma, it turns out that there are ways to cure the symptoms without medications or therapy (caveat: if you are currently on medication, and you feel results from what is discussed in this podcast, please stay on it until your doctor has said you’re okay to cut back).
Today’s podcast introduces my guest, Donika, who is the founder of a Meetup group called Keto for Mental Health. The non-profit group has over 600 members worldwide and helps people of all walks of life manage & repair their mental illness through something as simple as the food you eat.
Don’t believe it? Sounds too simple? It is simple! And yet it works; it has worked for thousands of people & it can work for you too. It works because it alters your body at a metabolic level. Listen to this podcast to learn more.
What will you get in return? A much more positive outlook on life, energy to burn, and your health will almost definitely take a leap forward too. If you're overweight, you will most likely shed loads of body fat.
If you want more information on getting started with ketogenic therapy, listen to my podcasts #1 & 2 which talk about it in more detail. Please note that I do not make money from my podcasts; they are designed to help people overcome illnesses and become healthier. Donika’s group in Meetup, also, is a non-profit group.
To join the Meetup group or find more out about it, go to Keto for Mental Health . Meetup is an international community of like-minded people in all sorts of subjects.
For more information on Donika’s website, Transformation Evoked, go to www.transformationevoked.com. Donika is a mental health coach, so please feel free to check out her website.
If you’d like to help me out (and help yourself out in the process), why not purchase my book? It’s also called See Your Toes Again. It’s available only on Amazon; it’s about 200 pages long & explains the ketogenic diet in detail, to get you going in the right direction. Although it says it’s for men, it’s equally relevant to everyone.
Good luck,
Pete Robin
