Dropping Out, Tapping In: How Metabolic Therapy Changed Everything
Episode 34
Wednesday, 21 January, 2026
📋 As a teenager, Benjiman Boyd was a pre-diabetic high school dropout battling ADHD, severe depression, and chaotic mood swings while on multiple medications. After his family tried a ketogenic diet out of sheer desperation, he experienced rapid weight loss, dramatic improvements in mood, memory, and focus, and a renewed belief that he could learn again. That turnaround launched him back into school, into an honors degree in Applied Psychology, and now into graduate work exploring how neurometabolism shapes personality and serious mental illness. In this episode, Ben shares the vulnerable details of medication struggles, emergency inpatient care, and identity collapse, and how ketogenic and other metabolic therapies helped him build resilience, return to academics, and begin advocating for people with conditions like borderline personality disorder through his work with Metabolic Collective.💡 What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeHow childhood-onset ADHD, depression, and unstable home life led Ben to drop out of high school and feel hopeless about his ability to learn.Why conventional ADHD and antidepressant medications left him with extreme mood swings, anger outbursts, and an emergency inpatient stay instead of stability.How a family decision to try a paleo-based ketogenic diet triggered rapid weight loss, sharper memory, better focus, and the confidence to return to school.The journey from GED to graduating with honors in Applied Psychology and into grad school, and why Ben chose to focus on the neurometabolism of mental health and personality.Why he now chooses metabolic therapy for treatment-resistant borderline personality disorder, and how community and metabolic rhythm (sleep, fasting, movement) sustain his own brain health on a grad-student budget.🔑 Key Insight“I don’t want to say all my success, but a very significant amount of my success, I owe to the ketogenic diet and the broader metabolic therapies that helped me find my focus, my resilience, and my sense of self again.” -Benjiman Boyd🎥 The Magic Pill 🌐 Connect with Benjiman BoydX: https://x.com/BenjiBoyd4Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ben.boyd.685560LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjiman-boyd-aa389524bBen's THINK+SMART profile:https://www.metabolicmind.org/thinksmart/explore-strategies/benjiman-boyd/Metabolic Collective private Facebook Group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/metaboliccollective🎟️ Grab your ticket for The Cholesterol Code theatrical screening! 🎟️🎧 Listen to more Ketobiography episodes every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms.🔗 Subscribe + follow + leave a review to support the show!🌱 Know someone with a Keto success story?
