Thanks for joining RP today for a conversation with Dr. Matt Bernstein, MD and psychiatrist, whose personal experience with his sons' rapid development of OCD-like symptoms and subsequent failures of traditional psychiatric treatment modalities piquing his curiosity to think outside of the box and explore the benefits of a ketogenic diet (low carb) on mental health. His transformative experience changed the way he practices psychiatry and he emphasizes the tremendous potential benefits of ketogenesis balanced against a relatively minimal risk profile. I really enjoyed this conversation, come back next week for PArt 2!!!
