The Year I Healed My Schizophrenia | Full Documentary

Over the past year, I’ve documented my attempt to use a medical ketogenic diet and other metabolic therapies to manage—and ultimately heal—my schizoaffective disorder. In this film, I share the doubts I carried into this unconventional path, the unexpected relief it brought, and the deeply personal changes I experienced along the way. This is my honest, day-by-day account of challenging what I once believed about mental illness, and stepping into a life I never thought was possible.

Another special thank you to Metabolic Mind and Baszucki Group for all of the work they are doing to bring healing to as many people as possible, and for supporting me through this exploration and journey. My life has completely changed, and thank you doesn't feel enough.

Follow ‪@metabolicmind‬ (and more at https://www.metabolicmind.org/) to learn more about this new approach to psychiatry and to connect with and learn more from incredible researchers, clinicians, and lived experience advocates, all working toward understanding how to actually improve quality of life through metabolic health.

An immense thank you to Nicole Laurent (https://mentalhealthketo.com/) for her knowledge and guidance in helping me most effectively improve my quality of life through this intervention. You were integral and I'm so grateful for your support.

Thank you so much to everyone who has followed along on this journey over the last year. This has not been an easy paradigm shift, and I appreciate the meaningful dialogue, and openness to reframing what is possible in recovery of mental illness.
