David Baszucki

Shane Parrish: I want to start in an unexpected place before we get into a whole bunch of other things. I want to talk about how keto changed your family’s life.

David Baszucki: So this is super interesting. I had dabbled with keto maybe 10 or 12 years ago. Then this thing happened with my son where he got super bad bipolar, probably 8 to 10 years ago. We tried every medication. We tried every solution to get him off medication. And here we were four or five or six years later, doctors had told him, “You’re going to be on five medications for the rest of your life,” he wasn’t quite himself, lots of hospitalizations, all kinds of stuff. And then out of the blue, someone I knew in the metabolic health community just said, “Hey, by the way, keto solved my bipolar.” And so, you could imagine, after trying every resource in the world, just all these doctors and all of that, we said, “Let’s give it a shot.”
