Transformation Evoked

New approaches to mental health care.

The Metabolic Psychiatry Summit starts tomorrow, and it’s free.

If you or someone you love has been told a diagnosis is something to manage for life, these five days are worth your attention.

By the end of them, here’s what you’ll have:

-A clear picture of what a metabolic approach to mental health actually involves, from the first meal to the daily routine
-The research, explained for real life, by real doctors & psychologists leading the field
-What to ask your doctor or care team, and the exact words to use with one who’s skeptical
-The first weeks, the setbacks and the turning point, from people who had tried everything

Every talk is free to watch during the summit, but you need to be registered to get the links each day.

I hope to see you there!

Free. Online. October 21-25

Most people living with depression, anxiety or bipolar disorder were handed the same story…

“this is lifelong, here’s your prescription, we’ll manage it.”

But almost nobody tells them the other half of the story…

Which is that the brain runs on energy, and psychiatrists at Harvard and Stanford are now helping people put some of the toughest mental health conditions into remission by changing how the brain is fueled.

Most of that research has stayed inside journals and conferences, with very little of this new information ever making it to the general public who needs it most.

That’s why I’m beyond excited to be a featured speaker at the upcoming 2026 Metabolic Psychiatry Summit!

From living with bipolar II disorder to sharing my recovery story on a national stage. I’m honored to join Nicole Laurent at the Mental Health America Conference in Washington, DC, for “The Promise of Metabolic Psychiatry: Fueling the Brain for ‘More Good Days.’”

I’ll be sharing my lived experience with ketogenic therapy, how it transformed my mental health, and how that journey inspired my work helping others through health coaching.

For me, this conversation is about hope, possibility, and the power of discovering that we can play an active role in our own healing. I’m grateful to bring a lived experience perspective to this important discussion.

📍 Washington, DC
🗓 Friday, October 9, 2026

The brain thrives on stability, but modern diets filled with processed carbs create chaos. ⚡️ Spikes in blood sugar lead to energy crashes, mood swings, and over time, insulin resistance—a key driver of neurodegenerative diseases.

The ketogenic diet shifts the brain’s fuel source from glucose to ketones, providing a steady, clean-burning energy supply. This metabolic shift reduces inflammation, stabilizes neurotransmitters, and enhances mitochondrial function—critical for mental clarity, focus, and emotional balance.

If you’re looking to optimize your brain health, improve your mood, and even protect against cognitive decline, keto isn’t just a diet—it’s a powerful tool for mental and neurological resilience. 🧠✨
