In this special mini-episode of The Life Possible Podcast, recorded live at the Ideal Protein Super Weekend in Austin, Texas, Dr. John Barnes sits down with licensed clinical social worker, certified addictions therapist, and metabolic mental health advocate Julie Tucker-Ponder, LCSW
Julie is one of a select group of clinicians to complete Dr. Georgia Ede's Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health Clinician Training, bringing together years of experience treating trauma, addiction, eating disorders, and emotional health with the latest science on nutrition and brain health.
Together, they discuss:
• The powerful connection between metabolism and mental health.
• Why understanding emotional eating patterns is essential for lasting success.
• New tools being developed to help Ideal Protein coaches better support clients through all three phases of the Ideal Protein Protocol.
Whether you're an Ideal Protein client, coach, healthcare professional, or simply curious about the connection between nutrition and mental wellness, this conversation offers hope and a fresh perspective on what's possible when we begin by restoring our metabolic health.
If you've ever wondered whether food can change the way you think, feel, and live, this episode is for you.
