From Psychosis to Purpose
Welcome to *Ketobiography* — formerly *Less of Me Success Stories*. In this episode, we sit down with **Emily Penton**, a former mental health therapist who reversed bipolar disorder and multiple sclerosis through a radical dietary shift to carnivore eating.
Emily’s transformation is both harrowing and hopeful—navigating through psychosis, medication overload, and debilitating MS symptoms. By embracing a meat-based diet and gut-healing protocols, she reclaimed her mind, body, and life. Now, she coaches others on how to do the same with compassion, tough love, and deep personal insight.
