How Ketosis Transformed My Mental Health: A Deep Dive into the Science of the Ketogenic Diet
Ketosis, a natural metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, is showing promise in treating mental health disorders like bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia. Research suggests that ketosis helps by providing brain cells with an alternative fuel source, balancing neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, and reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, which are linked to mental illness. These metabolic changes may explain why the ketogenic diet has improved mental well-being for many, including myself, and could become a more widely recognized treatment option for mental health.
Writing Through Pain: How Writing Can Be a Therapeutic Outlet
Writing has been my sanctuary since childhood, first as an outlet for creativity and later as a lifeline through the chaos of mental illness. Today, it remains a cornerstone of my self-care routine, offering clarity, emotional release, and even physical health benefits. Research shows that expressive writing can reduce anxiety, boost immune function, and enhance cognitive performance. And in a world dominated by digital tools, handwriting provides unique neurological advantages. Writing isn’t just a form of expression—it’s a pathway to healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

Sometimes…
So, the World is a brutal place
Sometimes.
And people are capable of evil,
Sometimes.
And I am capable of evil,
Sometimes.
And I can do shameful things,
Sometimes.
And I make mistakes
Sometimes.
And I can have Grace,
Sometimes.
And I can Forgive myself,
Sometimes.
And I can Forgive others,
Sometimes,
Because people can be amazingly kind,
Sometimes.
And all of this is True,
Sometimes.
And none of this is so,
Sometimes.
And it gets dark and painful,
Sometimes,
Because we Love so deeply and passionately,
Sometimes
That it can be easy to forget,
Sometimes,
That Love always overcomes evil, because Loving Hearts prevail,
Sometimes.
And that is all we need,
Sometimes.
Because it's enough that we see and feel Truth clearly,
Sometimes...
— J.P. Weedon
