How One Diet Silenced Bipolar Chaos – TFP #023 | Robyn Dobbins

In this episode of The Feldman Protocol, what happens when a midlife dietary change collides with decades of diagnosis, stigma, and trial-and-error? Guest Robyn Dobbins (lived-experience advocate, podcast host, health coach, and community coordinator at the nonprofit Metabolic Collective) makes the case for why personal narratives matter in metabolic mental-health advocacy—covering early symptoms, postpartum struggles, routines and relationships, low-carb/keto tradeoffs, community building, and how cholesterol conversations show up along the way.
