Free Help for Mental Illness? This Program is Making It Real 

Metabolic Mind

Jul 24, 2025
Ketogenic therapy for mental illness is changing lives. And now, it’s becoming more accessible than ever.
Dr. Bret Scher chats with licensed mental health counselor Nicole Laurent about her innovative online program and nonprofit initiative aimed at providing low-to-no-cost metabolic therapy support to people with serious mental illness.
Nicole shares how her own journey through cognitive impairment led her to ketogenic therapy, and how that experience transformed her clinical practice. Today, her Brain Fog Recovery Program is helping individuals with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, early Alzheimer’s, and more—many of whom are on disability and unable to access traditional care options.
We at Baszucki Group were proud to offer a matching grant to help Nicole expand access to more people in need, and we’re happy to report that the matching goal has been reached between the time of recording and posting. However, that is not the end of the support needed to expand the capabilities and awareness of this life-changing program.

They discuss:

  • Why ketogenic therapy can be so effective for mental illness
  • How Nicole’s program offers structured, compassionate support
  • Her nonprofit’s mission to serve low-income and disabled populations
  • What the fundraising campaign is doing to expand access
  • How to sign up for the program or contribute to its growth
