In this deeply personal and courageous episode of The Metabolic Link, we hear from patient advocate and podcast co-host Matt Baszucki, who shares how he endured—and ultimately overcame—type 1 bipolar disorder through a radical shift in treatment: ketogenic metabolic therapy.

After years of hospitalizations, debilitating mood episodes, and failed conventional treatments, Matt found hope through the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry. With the help of his family, including support and clinical guidance from Dr. Christopher Palmer, Matt adopted a therapeutic ketogenic diet in 2021—and the results were extraordinary.

Now a thriving project manager in Silicon Valley and co-host of The BipolarCast, Matt is helping drive a movement that challenges the very foundation of how we treat mental illness. This episode is not just about recovery—it's about transformation, resilience, and the future of mental health care.
