Can diet treat mental illness? Greg and Matias interview Jan Baszucki of the Baszucki Group whose son Matt overcame bipolar through the ketogenic diet.

Jan has supported studies on ketogenic diets and fasting protocols for conditions like depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.

In this episode we discuss:

The powerful personal story behind Jan's passion for this field
The science and mechanistic details behind metabolic psychiatry
Misconceptions about mental health and diets
Challenges to mainstream adoption
Business opportunities in metabolic interventions

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in emerging non-pharmacological therapies for psychiatric disorders. Jan’s perspective as an advocate, family member, philanthropist and impact investor provides a unique vantage point in this frontier space.
