  • Keto, Fasting, and a Second Chance at Health

    Keto, Fasting, and a Second Chance at Health
    Jan 29 2026

    📋 What happens when someone who has “always been sick” finally understands insulin resistance and decides to change everything? In this episode of Ketobiography, Joomee Kyler shares how a frightening Type 2 diabetes diagnosis became the turning point that led her to a simple low‑carb/keto way of eating and strategic fasting. She shares how, within months, her labs, symptoms, and day‑to‑day life looked completely different. Robyn and Joomee discuss what she actually eats, how she approaches therapeutic fasting without overcomplicating it, the emotional side of making big changes, and why she’s now quietly helping others become their own best advocates too.


    💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • How a lifetime of “mystery illnesses” connected back to insulin resistance long before a diabetes diagnosis.​
    • The simple, low‑carb/keto and fasting approach Joomee used—without tracking macros—to reverse Type 2 diabetes in 3 months.​
    • The surprising non‑scale wins: sleep apnea resolved, fatty liver and a colon polyp gone, GERD meds stopped, allergies, depression and anxiety lifted.​
    • Practical ways to ease into intermittent and therapeutic fasting, including how Joomee preps for and breaks a 72‑hour fast.​
    • Why becoming your own health advocate matters, and how Joomee now supports friends, runs accountability groups, and studies with SMHP as a passion project.​


    🔑 Key Insight

    “I feel like the luckiest person in the world because I discovered keto and intermittent fasting on the exact same day I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes—it completely changed my life and gave me my future back.”​ -Joomee Kyler

  • Dropping Out, Tapping In: How Metabolic Therapy Changed Everything

    Dropping Out, Tapping In: How Metabolic Therapy Changed Everything
    Jan 22 2026
    📋 As a teenager, Benjiman Boyd was a pre-diabetic high school dropout battling ADHD, severe depression, and chaotic mood swings while on multiple medications. After his family tried a ketogenic diet out of sheer desperation, he experienced rapid weight loss, dramatic improvements in mood, memory, and focus, and a renewed belief that he could learn again. That turnaround launched him back into school, into an honors degree in Applied Psychology, and now into graduate work exploring how neurometabolism shapes personality and serious mental illness. In this episode, Ben shares the vulnerable details of medication struggles, emergency inpatient care, and identity collapse, and how ketogenic and other metabolic therapies helped him build resilience, return to academics, and begin advocating for people with conditions like borderline personality disorder through his work with Metabolic Collective.​💡 What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeHow childhood-onset ADHD, depression, and unstable home life led Ben to drop out of high school and feel hopeless about his ability to learn.​Why conventional ADHD and antidepressant medications left him with extreme mood swings, anger outbursts, and an emergency inpatient stay instead of stability.​How a family decision to try a paleo-based ketogenic diet triggered rapid weight loss, sharper memory, better focus, and the confidence to return to school.​The journey from GED to graduating with honors in Applied Psychology and into grad school, and why Ben chose to focus on the neurometabolism of mental health and personality.​Why he now chooses metabolic therapy for treatment-resistant borderline personality disorder, and how community and metabolic rhythm (sleep, fasting, movement) sustain his own brain health on a grad-student budget.​🔑 Key Insight“I don’t want to say all my success, but a very significant amount of my success, I owe to the ketogenic diet and the broader metabolic therapies that helped me find my focus, my resilience, and my sense of self again.”​ -Benjiman Boyd🎥 The Magic Pill 🌐 Connect with Benjiman BoydX: https://x.com/BenjiBoyd4Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ben.boyd.685560LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjiman-boyd-aa389524bBen's THINK+SMART profile:https://www.metabolicmind.org/thinksmart/explore-strategies/benjiman-boyd/Metabolic Collective private Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/metaboliccollective🎟️ Grab your ticket for The Cholesterol Code theatrical screening! 🎟️🎧 Listen to more Ketobiography episodes every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🔗 Subscribe + follow + leave a review to support the show!🌱 Know someone with a Keto success story?

  • Rewriting Your Brain’s Story with Metabolic Therapies

    Rewriting Your Brain’s Story with Metabolic Therapies
    Jan 15 2026

    📋 When Eddie Rodriguez’s father was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at 53, his family was told to get their affairs in order and wait for the inevitable. Instead, Eddie helped lead a full-scale experiment in metabolic therapies and the Bredesen Protocol that not only improved his dad’s cognition, but also reshaped Eddie’s own life, his CrossFit-fueled low-carb lifestyle, and his mission to change what a “deterministic” Alzheimer’s gene means for future generations.​


    🔑 What You’ll Learn in this Episode

    • How Eddie’s family used ketogenic and low-carb metabolic therapies to dramatically improve his father’s cognition after a bleak early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis.​
    • The basics of the Bredesen Protocol, including cognoscopy testing, root-cause hunting, and why there is no single “silver bullet” for dementia.​
    • Why genes like ApoE4 and Presenilin-1 may “load the gun” but lifestyle and environment pull the trigger—and how that mindset shapes Eddie’s daily choices.​
    • Practical ways fasting, ketones, exercise, sleep, stress management, and toxin reduction can work together to support brain health.​
    • How lived experience, storytelling, and communities like BrainHeal(th) and Metabolic Collective are accelerating awareness of metabolic therapies worldwide.​


    💡 Key Insight

    “Genes load the gun—what we do, what we eat, what we breathe, how we think, and the environment we put ourselves in pulls the trigger.”​ -Eddie Rodriguez
