Ketogenic Diet for Brain Health: Jan Baszucki

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.
