Heal From Bipolar, Open Carnivore Restau...

Dr. Shawn Baker
About this episode

Dave healed from bipolar, anxiety, depression, and mania on a carnivore diet.

Dave's journey weaves through the realms of academia, entrepreneurship, and personal triumph. Holding a PhD in American politics, Dave has shifted his focus from the political arena to the culinary world, where he currently runs a unique keto bakery and carnivore restaurant. 

Beyond his professional endeavors, Dave's personal journey is equally compelling. He courageously navigated the challenges of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a label that often carries societal stigma. For a long time, he hesitated to share his story due to the mixed reactions he encountered. Determined to rewrite his narrative, Dave explored alternative ways and discovered that embracing a carnivore diet significantly improved his mental health. This dietary shift enabled him to discontinue the medication that three psychiatrists had once insisted he would need for life. Dave's story is one of resilience, innovation, and the power of self-discovery in overcoming personal and societal barriers.
