📣 Harmony Bright spent 17 years on psychiatric medications that left her overweight, cognitively impaired, and barely able to leave her house. Then she discovered therapeutic ketogenic nutrition — and everything started to change.

📋 Harmony shares her extraordinary journey through schizophrenia, chronic inflammation, obesity, and metabolic syndrome — and how individualized ketogenic nutrition became the tool that allowed her to begin tapering psychiatric medications after 13 years of failed attempts. She walks through the hardest moments of her transformation: the spinal cord injury, the weight gain from medications, the accidental discovery that diet could do what drugs could not, and the ongoing challenges of a second taper. She also discusses the role of community support, CGM monitoring, fasting, movement strategies for low dopamine, and why food is her medicine.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How a therapeutic ketogenic diet can impact both mental and metabolic health in serious psychiatric conditions
• The realities of tapering psychiatric medication safely — including why withdrawal can look like illness returning
• Why individualized nutrition, fasting protocols, and exercise strategies matter differently for each person
• How family and community support are crucial during metabolic health transformation
• Practical tips for maintaining therapeutic ketosis and troubleshooting glucose and ketone fluctuations

💡 Key Insight "Everything has been a learning experience — driving again, engaging with friends, relearning how to live. I was so dysfunctional. Now I'm learning everything again, and that's the power of taking control through diet, not just meds." — Harmony Bright

📣 A registered dietitian who nearly died from an eating disorder at age 12 is now one of the most compelling voices for low carb nutrition and metabolic health. Michelle Hurn's journey from patient to advocate is as practical as it is powerful.

📋 Registered dietitian, author, and ultra-endurance athlete Michelle Hurn joins Ketobiography to share her journey from recovering from an eating disorder to transforming nutrition advocacy. She dives into her work in metabolic health, her fight against conventional dietary dogma, and her innovative projects — like the Protein Project — bringing real nutrition to food banks. This episode explores radical honesty, the need for grassroots change, and what anyone can do to support true nourishment in their communities.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• Why mainstream nutrition guidelines often fail patients and what actually supports metabolic health — including reversing type 2 diabetes in weeks, not years
• How Michelle's own health crisis in 2019 led her from a high-carbohydrate diet to carnivore and ketogenic eating, reversing lifelong anxiety and chronic pain
• The story behind the American Diabetes Society — an independent nonprofit with no ties to big food or pharma — and how it differs from the American Diabetes Association
• How the Protein Project is getting regenerative beef and canned protein into food banks, and how anyone can replicate this locally
• Why radical honesty about where your health actually stands is the first and most important step toward real change

💡 Key Insight

"First, take care of you. Make sure you are a mentally stable, physically healthy human — that's going to reflect to your family. Then look at your community. If everyone did a little bit, it would make a huge impact." — Michelle Hurn

📣 What does 30 years of keto living look like after two decades of bulimia? Linda Witnov has lived that answer — and now coaches women through the same tangled intersection of food, shame, and self-discovery.

📋 This episode of Ketobiography shares the powerful recovery and transformation of Linda Witnov, a woman who spent decades wrestling with food obsession, sugar addiction, and bulimia. Drawing from her background in teaching and psychology, she reveals the impact of family, culture, and shame on the battle for lasting change. Hear how she discovered keto, made peace with her body, and now coaches others — especially women — toward emotional healing and sustainable wellness.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How early family experiences and culture can shape body image and eating habits that persist for decades
• The intersection of addiction, bulimia, and secretive food behaviors — and how these cycles are broken gradually, not overnight
• Why psychotherapy and low-carb eating worked together to promote long-term healing and self-acceptance
• Practical coaching methods that focus on gradual, personalized change, particularly for women in midlife and beyond
• The critical importance of community, compassion, and perseverance on the path to food freedom

💡 Key Insight

"Don't give up. Keep trying different things. It doesn't happen as quickly as we humans want it to… It's experimenting, being a scientist, and having compassion for yourself. It's not going to be overnight, and that's okay. It's totally worth it. Don't give up." — Linda Witnov

📣 Dr. Mark Cucuzzella is a rural physician, Air Force veteran, and founding member of the Coalition for Metabolic Health — a man who has spent decades working at the intersection of medicine, nutrition, advocacy, and policy. This conversation goes deep on why metabolic illness in America is systemic, not personal, and what it will actually take to change it.

📋 Robyn sits down with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella to talk about what it's like to practice medicine in a county where 42% of the population has obesity, to see children with fasting insulin levels of 40, and to work inside newly-formed coalitions trying to reshape what kids eat at school. They cover school lunch policy, the GLP-1 medication landscape, the Coalition for Metabolic Health's mission, and why the slow-moving process of changing dietary dogma takes decades — and why that shouldn't stop anyone from starting today.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• Why school nutrition policy is a metabolic health crisis affecting children before they ever reach high school
• What the Coalition for Metabolic Health is doing to reshape food policy, education, and research
• What fasting insulin levels in children reveal about where chronic disease actually begins
• Why metabolic illness is not the patient's fault — and what that shift in framing means for real and lasting change
• Practical starting points for individuals, from finding a metabolic-literate clinician to using the Coalition's free resources

📣 Nicole Laurent is a licensed mental health counselor who spent over a decade on pain medications for trigeminal neuralgia — and lost most of her cognitive function in the process. Her recovery through ketogenic metabolic therapy didn't just change her life; it redirected her entire career toward integrating nutritional therapy with psychotherapy for mental illness and neurological challenges.

📋 In this conversation, Robyn hears Nicole's full story for the first time — from daily migraines and near-overdose experiences to a harrowing detox that left her at 97 pounds and barely able to get to the bathroom, to slowly rebuilding her brain through ketogenic therapy. They also talk about the ethical risk Nicole took in bringing this intervention into her practice, the case studies she publishes to build the evidence base, the psychotherapist training she created so other clinicians stop unknowingly steering clients away from keto, and the nonprofit she founded so that finances never stop anyone from accessing this treatment.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How Nicole recovered from opioid dependency and severe cognitive impairment using ketogenic metabolic therapy
• Why ketogenic therapy can address the biological roots of mental illness in ways traditional psychotherapy alone cannot
• The ethical and licensing challenges of integrating nutritional therapy into a licensed mental health practice
• How Nicole's psychotherapist training helps clinicians ethically support — rather than discourage — clients pursuing ketogenic diets
• How Brain Fog Recovery Source provides access to metabolic mental health care for those who can't afford it

💡 Key Insight

"Bodies heal, brains heal, new therapies come into the world. … When you're in that dark place, you can't remember that your now is not your forever. … It's a metabolic intervention to be open and hopeful if that's possible for you in the moment." — Nicole Laurent

📣 Lori Balue spent nearly two decades on a diet roller coaster — battling obesity, pre-diabetes, depression, and asthma — before discovering keto in her 50s and losing 100 pounds for good. As a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner and founder of the Holistic Low-Carb Method, she now helps women over 50 find and clear the hidden metabolic blocks keeping them stuck.

📋 Robyn talks with Lori about a journey that started in childhood with food addiction and weight struggles, moved through decades of failed low-calorie diets, and finally found traction when Lori stopped treating symptoms and started investigating root causes. They get into the three-year weight loss stall that digestive enzymes eventually broke, the role of functional labs in uncovering food sensitivities and hormone imbalances, and why getting protein, minerals, and amino acids right can turn off cravings and lift depression in ways willpower never could.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• Why low-calorie diets can produce weight loss without ever reducing inflammation or resolving chronic illness
• How digestive enzymes, food sensitivity testing, and functional labs can break a weight loss stall when keto alone isn't enough
• Why protein timing and amino acid therapy are key to eliminating cravings and supporting mood in women over 50
• How grounding, sunlight, and circadian rhythm became the final piece of Lori's 100-pound weight loss
• What the Holistic Low-Carb Method looks like in practice and how Lori uses diagnostic labs to personalize every client's protocol

💡 Key Insight

Thought process

📣 Holly Smith grew up eating by the food pyramid, spent years being told her chronic pain and digestive problems were normal, and didn't start connecting food to her suffering until a routine blood test flagged high triglycerides in her 30s. What started as a reluctant experiment with keto became a full transition to dairy-free carnivore — and the elimination of IBS, skin issues, hip pain, seasonal allergies, and anxiety she'd carried most of her life.

📋 Robyn talks with Holly — known online as FriendlyNeighborhoodCarnivore — about a health journey that began in childhood with mysterious skin problems and stomach pain so severe she once passed out from eating Oreos and milk. Holly walks through the years of IBS, gluten-free eating, and misguided grain substitutions before keto finally clicked, and then carnivore clicked even harder. They also get into oxalate dumping and the simple tea fix that stopped it, the challenge of building a dairy-free niche in a very dairy-heavy carnivore space, and how Holly navigates family meals with kids who are learning — on their own terms — to notice the connection between food and how they feel.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How decades of food pyramid conditioning delayed Holly's healing — and what finally broke through
• Why IBS, chronic skin issues, hip pain, and seasonal allergies all cleared through dietary change alone
• What oxalate dumping is, how to recognize it, and the simple tea protocol that can slow it down
• How Holly built a dairy-free carnivore recipe community for people who can't rely on cheese-heavy mainstream content
• Practical strategies for raising kids on keto without making food a battle

💡 Key Insight

"Nobody is ever gonna give up all the foods you're brought up on, except out of desperation — when you can't function anymore, you have to become your own best advocate." — Holly Smith

📣 Most people track what they eat and drink — but almost nobody thinks about what they breathe. Indoor air can be 5 to 10 times more polluted than outdoor air, and for the average person spending 90 to 95% of their life indoors, that invisible exposure adds up fast. If you've felt off at home — foggy, fatigued, or just not right — and couldn't figure out why, this episode is for you.

📋 Robyn talks with Justin Liberman, Experience Coordinator at Jaspr, about the third pillar of health that most wellness conversations skip entirely: the air inside our homes. Justin breaks down what makes indoor air so much more contaminated than we assume — from mold and VOCs to PM2.5 particulates — and walks through the signs that your home's air may be affecting your sleep, energy, and overall health. They also cover practical steps anyone can take right now, the surprising truth about furnace filters, and the origin story behind Jaspr's home air scrubber, which adapted industrial-grade air scrubbing technology for everyday residential use.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• Why indoor air is typically 5–10x more polluted than outdoor air, and what causes it
• The three main indoor air pollutants: mold, PM2.5 particulate matter, and VOCs
• How to recognize signs that your home's air quality is affecting your health
• Why keeping indoor humidity below 60% matters for mold prevention
• Why furnace filters don't actually clean your air — and what does
• Practical steps: ventilation, eliminating pollutant sources, proper bathroom fan use, and air filtration
• The wildfire disaster that inspired Jaspr's founder to bring industrial air scrubbing technology into the home

💡 Key Insight

📣 Software engineer turned metabolic health researcher Dave Feldman joins Ketobiography host Robyn Dobbins to unpack what has happened since the release of the Keto CTA study — the data, the controversy, and what four analyses of the same 200 scans are now showing about LDL, plaque progression, and heart health.

📋 Dave walks through the full arc: the study methodology, the unexpected questions raised by the Clearly AI data set, the blinded HeartFlow and QAngio analyses that followed, and what plaque regression findings mean for lean mass hyper-responders. He also shares updates on The Feldman Protocol podcast and the Cholesterol Code documentary.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How the Keto CTA study was designed, crowdfunded, and executed across 100 participants with two CT angiography scans each.
• Why the Clearly AI quantitative analysis raised serious questions — including the absence of any plaque regression across all 100 participants — and what Dave did about it.
• How HeartFlow and QAngio, analyzed with fully blinded data, produced results consistent with the semiquantitative analysis and with each other.
• What plaque regression findings mean for lean mass hyper-responders and why the absence of an LDL-plaque association held across every analytical approach.
• What comes next: five-year follow-up scans, the Triad study with a control group, and the possibility of a randomized controlled trial.

📣 Retired police officer Eric Reynolds lost over 75 pounds, reversed inflammation, quit alcohol, and built a nonprofit — all after discovering keto and carnivore nutrition following a shooting incident that left him battling PTSD and a system that didn't want to help him heal.

📋 In this episode, Eric shares the full arc: the metabolic toll of shift work and trauma, discovering keto through a coworker's 50-pound transformation, going fully carnivore and losing another 25, navigating a calcium score of 5,600 without statins, and founding both Keto Five-O and Cops and Campers to serve the first responder community. He opens up about the hidden health crisis among police officers and firefighters, raising keto kids on the road in an RV, and why community is as healing as the food.

🔑 What You'll Learn

• How chronic stress, adrenaline cycles, shift work, and unprocessed trauma erode physical and mental health in law enforcement — and what Eric did about it.
• How Eric lost over 75 pounds through keto and carnivore nutrition, came off medications, and doubled his testosterone without supplements.
• What it's like to navigate a calcium score of 5,600, heart flow testing showing only 30% blockage at worst, and a medical system pushing statins at every turn.
• How Keto Five-O and the nonprofit Cops and Campers are building metabolic health communities for first responders through retreats, speakers, and bonfire storytelling.
• Why raising keto and carnivore kids from birth, homeschooling on the road, and surrounding yourself with the right community changes everything.
