Dyane Harwood's Metabolic Mental Health Journey | Metabolic Mind's THINK+SMART

For years, Dyane struggled with postpartum bipolar disorder, navigating a cycle of medications, hospitalizations, and even electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in her search for stability. Though treatment-resistant depression lifted with medication, she still felt like she was merely surviving—until she discovered the ketogenic diet. What started as a search for better physical health led to an unexpected breakthrough in her mental well-being. As she transitioned to a vegan ketogenic diet, Dyane found renewed joy, energy, and motivation. She began setting goals again, reconnecting with her daughters, and reclaiming a sense of purpose she thought was lost. In this video, Dyane shares how metabolic therapies have helped her reduce medications, regain her vitality, and bring laughter back into her life. She also offers advice for others considering ketogenic therapy for mental health—including the importance of medical supervision. Ready to explore metabolic strategies for mental wellness?
