Kristina Cook shares how lifelong anxiety and postpartum depression, combined with her daughter Genevieve's escalating, unpredictable mood instability, rage, suicidality, and mania, pushed their family into crisis despite years of therapy, medications, and an 11-year-old's 16-week hospital in-treatment stay with a discharge plan involving notifying police. After an RFK Jr. press conference led her to Casey and Calley Means' message in Good Energy, Kristina removed ultra-processed foods and refined ingredients and saw rapid improvements in sleep, pain, and her daughter's behavior. Later, after hearing Dr. Chris Palmer describe ketogenic therapy for severe mental illness, Kristina and her daughter transitioned to keto, endured a brief detox period, and then experienced dramatic mental clarity; Genevieve reached remission and came off medication, and Kristina also saw major weight and anxiety relief. Kristina now studies nutrition, works with the Metabolic Collective, and advocates for accessible metabolic therapies for families.
