Q&A: Caffeine, Carnivore, Meds, and Ketones—What’s Helping or Hurting Your Mental Health?
Is caffeine sabotaging your mental health progress? Should you try a carnivore diet if keto isn't working? What if your meds lower ketones?
In this new Metabolic Mailbag episode, Dr. Georgia Ede joins Dr. Bret Scher to answer your most pressing questions about metabolic therapies, mental health, and more.
Together, they dive into nuanced, evidence-informed conversations about:
- The real impact of caffeine on mood, sleep, and ketosis
- Whether the carnivore diet is “too high” in protein
- Why some people see mental health improvements on carnivore when a ketogenic diet hasn’t worked
- What to do when medications interfere with ketone levels, and why deprescription must be done safely and strategically
- And more
Metabolic psychiatry is a promising frontier, and we’re here to empower individuals navigating serious mental illness with tools and knowledge rooted in science, compassion, and real-world experience.
