Bipolar, Homeless & Heavily Medicated. Matt Baszucki is now Symptom Free. How?
🎤 I loved this inspiring interview with Matt Baszucki! We dive deep into bipolar disorder, psychiatric medications, withdrawal, Stoicism, resilience, and transforming life’s toughest challenges. Matt is a guest I’ve been excited to feature for a long time — a compassionate, brave and intelligent man who turned his struggle with bipolar disorder into a story of hope and healing.
After battling bipolar for 4 years, Matt achieved bipolar remission through powerful lifestyle changes. Under his psychiatrist’s supervision, he successfully tapered off three psychiatric medications and reduced two others to healthier levels. Once desperate and even homeless, Matt now enjoys a happy, stable life with a great job, a loving relationship, and new responsibilities he never thought possible during his illness.
Matt is also a passionate advocate for the ketogenic diet for bipolar disorder and other metabolic mental health strategies. He has created over 40 inspiring YouTube videos on keto and mental health (@mattbaszucki) and is active on Instagram. His work continues to help people worldwide explore new approaches to bipolar disorder and mental wellness.
If you’re interested in bipolar recovery, keto for mental health, or holistic strategies to reduce psychiatric medications, this is an interview you don’t want to miss.
