Healing the Brain: A Metabolic Approach to Mental Illness | Erin Bellamy, PhD | The Metabolic Link Ep.73

👉 Register for a LIVE Q&A with Dr. Bellamy on August 19th at 8am PT / 11am ET at https://membership.metabolicinitiative.com/bellamy Can metabolic therapy play a transformative role in the treatment of serious mental illness? In this episode of The Metabolic Link, host Victoria Field speaks with Dr. Erin Bellamy - a Chartered Psychologist, Metabolic Psychiatry Practitioner, and CEO of IKRT - about the clinical application of ketogenic metabolic therapy (KMT) for psychiatric disorders. With over a decade of experience and a PhD focused on ketogenic diets for depression, Dr. Bellamy offers deep insight into the mechanisms driving psychiatric disease - including brain hypometabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and insulin resistance - and how KMT targets these shared biological pathways. This conversation explores real-world implementation of ketogenic therapy in patients with diagnoses such as PTSD, ADHD, binge eating disorder, and schizoaffective disorder. Dr. Bellamy also shares her recently published case study demonstrating transdiagnostic remission using KMT, along with the clinical protocols, macronutrient ratios, and outcomes she’s seeing in her group and one-on-one programs. Whether you’re a psychiatrist, psychologist, or healthcare professional interested in emerging metabolic therapies for mental health, this episode offers valuable clinical and translational insights into a rapidly evolving field. 👉 Register for the LIVE Q&A with Dr. Bellamy on August 19th at 8am PT / 11am ET at https://membership.metabolicinitiative.com/bellamy Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode: ✅Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here ✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here ✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit here (use code METABOLICLINK) In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.
