About the event
This month our guest speaker is best-selling author Julie A. Fast, a world leading mental health expert on the topics of bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety and psychosis.Â
Julie is the top bipolar disorder management writer in the world with over 500,000 books sold and 15 million views of her online work for bp Magazine, Psychology Today and other publications. Julie lives with bipolar disorder and a psychotic disorder.Â
We are excited to have Julie speak with us via Zoom on Thursday! Please join us to hear what Julie has to say about diet.
For most people, a balanced diet keeps moods relatively stable, and promotes healthy aging.
But as you know, you’re not most people. You have bipolar disorder and a balanced diet is rarely enough to manage mood swings or help with the weight gain and other health concerns associated with medication induced metabolic syndrome.
Any diet used to manage bipolar disorder and at the same time prevent metabolic syndrome needs to address the role of insulin in the bipolar brain. Luckily, a diet originally created to help manage epilepsy called the ketogenic metabolic therapy diet shows great promise in helping people with bipolar disorder.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO OUR MEETINGS:
The format of this hybrid meeting is that we normally have a guest speaker talking about a topic that's bipolar-related, then for those attending in-person, we mix and chat for a while over tea and coffee. Â Please feel free to stay for a chat on Zoom after the presentation. The meeting finishes by 8.45pm.Â
If you are joining us via Zoom for the first time, then please feel free to email us at info@bipolaredinburgh.org.uk and we can arrange an optional 10-minute welcome and introduction session over Zoom with you where we can answer any questions you might have.
