Can a Ketogenic Diet Treat Bipolar Disorder? | Dr. Iain Campbell
Manage episode 477560900 series 2343654

If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://ppacc.player.fm/legal.
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Iain Campbell, a metabolic psychiatry researcher at the University of Edinburgh, to explore the emerging science behind using ketogenic diets as a potential treatment for bipolar disorder and other serious mental health conditions.
With both scientific expertise and lived experience of bipolar type II, Iain shares how nutritional ketosis may be more than just a physical health tool — it might be a game-changer for mental health too. We dive into the connection between metabolism, brain energy, glutamate, circadian rhythms, and psychiatric medications — and what happens when these systems go off balance.
Whether you're dealing with bipolar disorder, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the future of psychiatry, this episode offers deep insights and real hope.

01:57 Ketogenic Diet & Bipolar Disorder – Where It All Began
03:21 Iain’s Personal Battle with Bipolar & Path to Discovery
05:10 The Link Between Ketosis and Mood Stabilization

14:44 Ketosis, Mania, and Glutamate Explained
17:00 Fixing the “Engine” – Root-Cause Mental Health Solutions
18:18 The Spring Equinox & Seasonal Triggers in Bipolar
21:06 Evolutionary Advantage of Bipolar Genes?
22:25 Managing Mood Swings Through Diet
24:01 Insulin Resistance as a Driver of Psychiatric Disorders
26:37 Who Else Could Benefit from This Approach?
