In this episode of the Kolasinska Podcast, we talk with the Rodzeń Brothers about depression, mental health, and the controversy surrounding the ketogenic diet. This is a conversation about whether the diet can actually impact the treatment of mental disorders and why the topic of "depression and keto" provokes such polarizing reactions.

The Rodzeń brothers explain their metabolic approach, address criticism from the medical community, and explain where simplification ends and research and practice begin. We also discuss psychiatric medications, the long-term effects of pharmacotherapy, the role of nutrition in medicine, and how official dietary recommendations are developed. This episode is for those who want a non-sensational understanding of the topic—with context, facts, and calm analysis.
