They don't seem that happy, or authentic, but gaslight and praised for the wrong things, when not vegan? EDIT; Sorry, the other person in this video.

Interesting video! Really glad the keto diet is working for you both and it's nice to see you both enthusiastic and positive. I don't have schizophrenia or bipolar but have a lot of anxiety and would be interested in trying keto as a vegetarian ..don't feel ready at the moment but hopefully someday [:

Thank you so much! I've been really trying to figure out how to do this plan while being a vegan, and I have been very worried that I couldn't do it. This really helps!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

Thanks Lauren!

There’s a great podcast called The Keto Vegan and the host. Rachel had me on as a guest to discuss how I use a ketogenic vegan diet for bipolar one disorder. I’ve been doing it for two years and I’m thrilled to say that it has been such a beautiful game changer in my life.

That was excellent ladies. Really encouraging, thank you xx

Wow Hannah is so smart, I relate to her a lot, I also became vegetarian really young, I always knew eating animals was not ethical (in most cases) I loved to hear her ponit of view!

Thank you! I really appreciate the emphasis on it being different for everyone and how it may not work for everyone in the same way! (most of that aspect was discussed towards the end of the video, and I would like to see it discussed earlier on and throughout the content)

L really think that there is much to learn from these interviews I particularly liked the importance of psychological framing.

Thank you so much for making this video. Knowing that it's possible to get into medical ketosis while staying on a vegan diet will help so many people. I would love to see a video where Hannah shows us what her meals look like over a few days. My son has schizophrenia and is vegan. He will not engage with any mental health team or take any medication. I believe his version of a vegan diet is leaving him very undernourished as it relies heavily on carbs. I would love to see what a healthy version of vegan looks like, that would also keep the body in ketosis. Love what you are doing Lauren. Keep it up.

So good to see Lauren and Hannah together for another video! I was doing mostly nuts (macadamia nuts and pili nuts) until this weekend when I found out that I am allergic. So yeah, itchy hives mean no more nuts for me.

So happy to see vegan keto represented :) the animal abuse that goes on in farms (including organic/free range/grass fed) is unacceptable

You've helped me so much with the Keto videos. Please keep up the good work! So glad to see your continuing improvement.

Wow! Hannah has an interesting diet for keto! I am amazed at her young age to turn vegetarian. Very cool. I am also impressed she doesn't track macros; I rely on them and feel accomplished when I get good ketone levels after my meals. I'm almost obsessed with knowing my macros and stats. I do wonder how many total vs net carbs she tends to eat to stay in ketosis with all those fibrous foods (nuts, vegetables). And I wonder what time of day she tracks ketones. I know that in the morning my ketones are too low, before lunch a little higher but not always therapeutic, and then before dinner, usually therapeutic and where I want them. I appreciate the mindset talk too. Thank you for sharing! I'm currently doing a low fodmap + keto diet and it's quite challenging, can't wait to get to the bottom of some digestive issues and expand my food base again. I tried carnivore but only lasted 3 meals - it was SO hard to be that restrictive though I was all willing. Great interview!

This was great. One thing I need to look into though is I might have histamine issues. I've been having problems with itchy skin and histamines were brought up as a possibility. I eat tons of avocados and avocados are very high in histamines. I'm taking DAO for now but next blood work i want to be tested. Just mentioning this because I think it might be an issue for me

Good video Lauren. I like.

As a veggie myself this is super interesting ❤ thank you😊

I got a little bit confused with her menu She eats intuitively but with so many restrictions? Tempeh and tofu have carbs so as many non starchy veggies Eating once a day and getting everything your body needs with restrictions? It would be interesting to see what she eats in a day

intuitive eating can be as simple as eating only when your actually hungry (and for MANY its not 3 meals a day)

This is really interesting, and I'm grateful you were able to make this video. I've had it in my "watch later" let fur a while and am only now getting to watch it. Interestingly, I've almost immediately noticed two things - 1) how dry your mouth sounds when you're speaking, and 2) just how often you're blinking! It's incredible because it's something (as a longer term viewer) I hadn't noticed was gone until I saw it right there! 😍

Thanks for the content 💟 Keep it up. I suffer from bipolar disorder, I'm still not stabilized so I have to find the right medical (drug) treatments before considering something like this to not mess with everything and introduces too many variables too early... but I do hope I can revisit the metabolic approach once I'm doing better, and more ready and equipped for that. Currently in a long depressive episode and I can barely do the basics or leave my place, live alone, seeing my doctor once a month hoping to improve more and get better again some day...

Hi Lauren, many thanks for this very interesting video. I think the main reason why someone goes vegan is for the animals and then health and then the planet. It’s a philosophy not just a diet. We don’t wear leather etc. It’s best to have a whole food vegan diet and the majority of ex vegans followed these different vegan diets like raw vegan etc. A really great KZread channel that is very scientific is Mic the Vegan. He really knows his stuff. But once again many thanks for this video. I’m trying a whole food vegan diet and my paranoid schizophrenia has really improved. I feel pretty normal these days (I’m also on a depot that helps), and I feel part of a growing loving community of vegans. Wishing you and Rob and the lady in this video the best.

Yes! So many people I talk to think going vegan is a lifestyle choice rather than an ethical choice! I think this is why unfortunately veganism gets so much bad press, people associate it with middle class "yuppies" due to celebrities going vegan for health reasons (although many celebrities are also ethical vegans), when that is not what ethical veganism is about. This is why vegans now have introduced the term plant-based to refer to those who choose the diet for health reasons in opposition to vegans who choose this diet for ethical reasons.

It should be noted that vegetarian/vegan diet is often considered/investigated as a possible cause for mental disorders. Nothing conclusive, but high correlation is proven (for example Michalak, Zhang, Jacobi - Vegetarian diet and mental disorders: results from a representative community survey (2012)) . Since keto diet is in itself still in experimental phase, it would be not advisable to go with something that could actually worsen your mental health.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to our own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence. Veganism is not a diet, it is an ethical philosophy. Perhaps you mean to say "plant-based". If someone thought that most women deserve to own property, but not their wife, you would not call them "mostly feminist", you would call it spousal abuse. Thinking that most animals deserve to live without being treated as property, but not egg-laying hens is not "mostly vegan", it's just animal abuse.

As a longterm ethical vegan Hannah emphasises she sources eggs from "local family farms". I think compassion would inspire an understanding of her decision to incorporate eggs into her otherwise vegan diet. Being well enables her to help others. Utilitarianism is a rational and respectful consideration. Am presently looking into the vegan medical keto diet and it does present as a challenge. Though I do not understand why Hannah mentioned that 'it is up to others choice and that she doesn't see it as wrong to eat animals nor does she see veganism as ethically superior'. It would be wonderful if she did not shy away from emphasising the ethical consistency of adopting a vegan lifestyle.

Eggs alone go a very long way, but red meat and fish are essential Superfoods, and vegetables contain antinutrients like lectins which cause leaky gut and inhibit nutrient absorption and oxalates, which are neurotoxic. Your brain needs DHA, which is absent from plant foods, and your brain is made up primarily of saturated fat, cholesterol, and omega 3 fatty acids. Plant-based diets are detrimental for brain health.
