The Lived Experiences Fueling Metabolic Health Advocacy

For some, experiencing meaningful change through metabolic therapies sparks a new purpose: helping others find hope and new options.
In this special Metabolic Mind video, Hannah Warren interviews two advocates whose experiences show how personal recovery stories and grassroots organizing are expanding the conversation around chronic disease and mental health.
Eric Rodgers shares how ketogenic and other metabolic therapies changed his experience living with chronic depression and gave him more capacity to handle life’s ups and downs. Chérie St. Alnauld shares the mission of Metabolic Revolution, a grassroots organization that spreads education and awareness to patients and clinicians around metabolic health and its role in chronic disease reversal and remission.
They discuss:
• Eric’s experience using metabolic therapies while living with chronic depression
• How The Cholesterol Code explores ketogenic therapy, LDL cholesterol, and cardiovascular risk
• Why grassroots organizing and patient-led advocacy matter
• How Metabolic Revolution supports education and chronic disease prevention efforts
• How to get involved, including signing the petition to remove ultra-processed foods from schools

Together, these interviews show how lived experience can inspire advocacy and how personal recovery stories can help build a broader movement for metabolic health.
