My Story | Living with Schizophrenia
Lauren Kennedy West
@livingwellafterschizophreniaAbout
I used to live with schizophrenia. At the beginning of 2024 I began a strict program of metabolic therapies, specifically the medical ketogenic diet, to heal my brain. The result has been the elimination of all symptoms of schizophrenia, while also tapering off of all psychiatric medication. This is my journey of living well after schizophrenia.
