We know that mental health illnesses and disorders are on the rise. While there have been many advances in modern medicine and psychiatric drugs that can help individuals manage their disease and function in their daily lives, some of the side effects can be challenging to deal with. There can be changes to cognition, body composition, brain fog, and mood, and a diagnosis can, at times, feel like a life sentence.
Fortunately, with the groundbreaking work of doctors like Dr. Chris Palmer, we now know that there is hope for understanding mental illnesses and their long-term outcomes with the help of interventions like metabolic and ketogenic therapy.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Hannah Warren. Hannah shares her experience of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and her journey in implementing dietary and lifestyle changes, including fasting, exercise, and meditation, that helped her feel more like herself after experiencing manic episodes and suicidal ideations. Hannah also shares how she discovered the work of Dr. Chris Palmer, the common misconceptions about metabolic therapy, and why she has made it her mission to educate those looking for options while suffering from a mental health diagnosis.
