In this episode of our podcast, we dive into the intriguing connection between the ketogenic diet and its effects on mental health disorders, with a special focus on schizophrenia. Our guest, Dr. Zoltan Sarnyai, a seasoned neuroscientist and professor at James Cook University, shares his extensive research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying psychiatric disorders such as drug addiction, depression, and schizophrenia. 

Dr. Sarnyai discusses his initial motivation towards exploring mental illness, propelled by a personal experience during his medical school years. The episode also covers his transition from psychopharmacology towards the potential of dietary interventions, particularly the ketogenic diet, as a therapeutic approach to treating severe mental conditions. Highlighting a range of case studies and his own research findings, Dr. Sarnyai elaborates on how ketogenic therapy might address the core issues of mental disorders by targeting systemic and brain glucose energy metabolism dysfunctions.
