    Low Carb, Less Medication, More Life

    📋 In this powerful episode of Ketobiography, host Robyn Dobbins sits down with Lisa Blackstone, who began a very low‑carb diet simply to lose weight and stand on her own two feet again. At her highest weight of 574 pounds, Lisa was mostly homebound, relying on others for basic daily tasks and feeling trapped not only in her body but also under a stack of psychiatric labels and medications.​ What she didn’t expect was how therapeutic ketogenic eating would transform her mental health, stabilize her mood, and call long‑standing diagnoses into question as her brain and body began to heal. Lisa shares how Metabolic Mind, a pilot study at the Children’s Mental Health Resource Center, and Dr. Georgia Ede’s work helped her connect food, metabolism, and mind in a way she’d never been offered in traditional care.​ You’ll also hear how her family joined her in changing their kitchen, what happened when her kids tried keto, and why she now advocates for children’s mental health and neurodiversity through CMHRC. This is an honest, hopeful conversation about reclaiming mobility, reducing medications, and discovering that a different future is possible at any size and any age.​ 💡 What you’ll learn in this episode How Lisa went from being mostly recliner‑bound at 574 pounds to rebuilding mobility and independence with a very low‑carb and then therapeutic ketogenic way of eating.​The unexpected psychiatric changes that forced her doctor to rapidly taper medications as her mood, agitation, and overall functioning improved.​Why she now questions a past borderline personality disorder diagnosis after understanding akathisia and stabilizing her metabolism.​​How Metabolic Mind, Dr. Georgia Ede’s “Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind,” and CMHRC’s ketogenic therapy work shaped her understanding of food and mental health.​Practical ways Lisa has brought ketogenic eating into her family’s life, including benefits she’s seen in her children’s weight, focus, and emotional regulation.​​ 🔑 Key insight “When I changed what I ate, people thought I’d just change my weight. Instead, my brain changed so much my diagnoses stopped making sense.”​ -Lisa Blackstone 🌐 Connect with Lisa: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StoriesAndSnapshots 💻 Resources mentioned 🧩 Akathisia Alliance for Education and Research – nonprofit raising awareness about akathisia and its role in suicide risk and medication‑related suffering. https://akathisiaalliance.org 🧠 Children’s Mental Health Resource Center (CMHRC) – supporting families navigating complex pediatric mental health needs, including ketogenic therapy programs and a bipolar pilot study.​ https://cmhrc.org Metabolic Collective Private Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/metaboliccollective 🎟️ Grab your ticket for The Cholesterol Code theatrical screening! 🎟️ 🎧 Listen to more Ketobiography episodes every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🔗 Subscribe + follow + leave a review to support the show! 🌱 Know someone with a Keto success story?

    Stubborn Hope and a Heart Scan

    📋  Two dear friends of mine join Ketobiography to share how “just supporting my wife on Zoom” turned into dramatic weight loss, a terrifying CAC score, and open‑heart surgery that arrived much sooner than anyone expected. Without giving the whole story away, this episode follows Craig and Michaela Young as they navigate scary numbers, conflicting medical advice, and the shock of major surgery, all while still trying to be the social, fun couple who loves their people well. Along the way, they wrestle honestly with “keto‑ish” choices, what’s really worth it, and how to protect their health without losing friendships, joy, or good food.​ 💡 What you’ll Learn in this Episode How a “lurker” on NSNG VIP calls quietly became all‑in and lost nearly 60 pounds in a few months.​Why good labs and “feeling fine” can still hide serious cardiac risk—and what finally pushed them to ask for more testing.​How they handled open‑heart surgery, rehab, and those maddening nutrition questionnaires while staying grounded in a real‑food approach.​Practical ways they eat differently at parties, dinners, and with church/friend groups without making food the main event.​How this experience reshaped their idea of “ish” foods, worth‑it treats, and what it really means to play the long game with health.​ 🔑 Key Insight “If I’m willing to inject myself with something, maybe I should give food another real shot first.”​ -Michaela Young 🌐 Connect with Craig and Michaela Craig: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/craig.young.52493 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldnum7 Michaela: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michaela.z.young Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/micastang 🎟️ Grab your ticket for The Cholesterol Code theatrical screening! 🎟️ 🎧 Listen to more Ketobiography episodes every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🔗 Subscribe + follow + leave a review to support the show! 🌱 Know someone with a Keto success story?

    📋 What happens when someone who has “always been sick” finally understands insulin resistance and decides to change everything? In this episode of Ketobiography, Joomee Kyler shares how a frightening Type 2 diabetes diagnosis became the turning point that led her to a simple low‑carb/keto way of eating and strategic fasting.  She shares how, within months, her labs, symptoms, and day‑to‑day life looked completely different.

    Dropping Out, Tapping In: How Metabolic Therapy Changed Everything

    📋 As a teenager, Benjiman Boyd was a pre-diabetic high school dropout battling ADHD, severe depression, and chaotic mood swings while on multiple medications. After his family tried a ketogenic diet out of sheer desperation, he experienced rapid weight loss, dramatic improvements in mood, memory, and focus, and a renewed belief that he could learn again. That turnaround launched him back into school, into an honors degree in Applied Psychology, and now into graduate work exploring how neurometabolism shapes personality and serious mental illness. In this episode, Ben shares the vulnerable details of medication struggles, emergency inpatient care, and identity collapse, and how ketogenic and other metabolic therapies helped him build resilience, return to academics, and begin advocating for people with conditions like borderline personality disorder through his work with Metabolic Collective.​ 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode How childhood-onset ADHD, depression, and unstable home life led Ben to drop out of high school and feel hopeless about his ability to learn.​Why conventional ADHD and antidepressant medications left him with extreme mood swings, anger outbursts, and an emergency inpatient stay instead of stability.​How a family decision to try a paleo-based ketogenic diet triggered rapid weight loss, sharper memory, better focus, and the confidence to return to school.​The journey from GED to graduating with honors in Applied Psychology and into grad school, and why Ben chose to focus on the neurometabolism of mental health and personality.​Why he now chooses metabolic therapy for treatment-resistant borderline personality disorder, and how community and metabolic rhythm (sleep, fasting, movement) sustain his own brain health on a grad-student budget.​🔑 Key Insight “I don’t want to say all my success, but a very significant amount of my success, I owe to the ketogenic diet and the broader metabolic therapies that helped me find my focus, my resilience, and my sense of self again.”​ -Benjiman Boyd 🎥 The Magic Pill 🌐 Connect with Benjiman Boyd X: https://x.com/BenjiBoyd4 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ben.boyd.685560 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjiman-boyd-aa389524b Ben's THINK+SMART profile: https://www.metabolicmind.org/thinksmart/explore-strategies/benjiman-boyd/ Metabolic Collective private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/metaboliccollective 🎟️ Grab your ticket for The Cholesterol Code theatrical screening! 🎟️ 🎧 Listen to more Ketobiography episodes every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🔗 Subscribe + follow + leave a review to support the show! 🌱 Know someone with a Keto success story?
