Can Keto Put Schizophrenia in Remission? A Case That Shocks Experts

Sep 8, 2025

What happens when someone living in and out of homelessness, battling schizophrenia, and cycling through hospitals and medications discovers ketogenic therapy?

In this powerful interview, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with registered nutritional therapist Moira Newiss about one of the most remarkable published case reports to date.

Despite overwhelming socioeconomic challenges, including periods of living in shelters and cooking on nothing more than a hot plate, this individual achieved sustained ketosis on a simple, affordable carnivore-based ketogenic diet.

The result? His schizophrenia and psychosis went into remission. In the interview, Moira shares:

The details of his journey from homelessness and hospitalization to stability

The simple, affordable foods he used to stay in ketosis

The barriers he faced, from relapse cycles to limited resources

Why this case matters for clinicians, researchers, and anyone seeking hope in the face of serious mental illness

This case is more than a single success story, it challenges assumptions about what’s possible with nutrition, even under the hardest circumstances. For someone who had been deeply embedded in psychiatric care in the UK and not improving on conventional treatment, ketogenic therapy offered a turning point. 👉Want to learn more about the impact of ketogenic therapy on mental health?
