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.

Despite incredible advances in diabetes technology, blood sugar control in people with Type 1 diabetes hasn’t meaningfully improved in over a decade. In this eye-opening episode recorded live at Metabolic Health Summit, Dr. Andrew Koutnik - a scientist, patient, and advocate - dives into the science behind this paradox.

Dr. Koutnik shares groundbreaking data from the largest-ever analysis of carbohydrate intake in people with Type 1 diabetes, explores the limitations of current technology, and presents a rare 10-year case study examining the long-term safety and efficacy of carbohydrate restriction.

From CGMs to closed-loop systems, from meal composition to insulin dosing, this episode challenges conventional assumptions and offers a compelling case for nutrition as a powerful - yet underutilized - tool in diabetes care.

In this Journal Club edition of The Metabolic Link, hosts - Victoria Field, Dr. Dominic D’Agostino, and Dr. Angela Poff dissect two powerful papers reshaping our understanding of metabolic health. First up: a striking human study showing that exposure to sugar rationing during the first 1,000 days of life reduced the risk of type 2 diabetes and hypertension decades later—offering a rare glimpse into how early-life nutrition programs lifelong health. Then, the team dives into a landmark publication proposing a clinical research framework for ketogenic metabolic therapy in glioblastoma. With insights on developmental programming, public policy, and personalized metabolic approaches to cancer, this is a must-listen for anyone passionate about where science meets societal change.
