In this episode I speak with Heather Foley.Heather is a recently retired Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist who previously worked within the NHS, the Military and the private sector. Due to a series of major traumas early in Heather’s life, including 10 concussions, PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder) and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), (which lead to increased anxiety, hyper reactivity and an inability to self regulate), she went down a rabbit hole of mental health and diet research.  Listening to Dr Michael Lewis was one of her first “aha” moments regarding the importance of diet; specifically brain food, relative to her ongoing mental health issues. This led to Heather exploring and starting the Ketogenic diet around 2010 and subsequently the carnivore way of eating in May 2018. The results were remarkable.  Heather is now focused on researching the Ketogenic diet in more depth, as well as working with individuals and groups to inspire them on their own ketogenic journey. Heather also teaches yoga, emotional freedom technique (EFT) and breath work (Oxygen advantage instructor).Heather has completed training with both Dr Georgia Ede on Ketogenic diets for mental health in clinical training and the Nutrition Network Medical Certification Pathway training, via the Professor Tim Noakes foundation. She has discovered that there are a lot of conferences and trainings for the academic in this space, but nothing like Keto Brain Health for the people who need it most. She therefore feels very honoured to be able to offer listeners the knowledge and inspiration they deserve by founding the World’s first 2-day Keto Brain Health Clinic. Her aim is to Inspire, Reassure and Educate (I.R.E) anyone interested in exploring and starting this journey and those looking for support, by giving them access to experienced specialist speakers within this health space. The Keto Brain Health clinic will take place 4th - 5th of October 2025 in Edinburgh.  (Further details can be found via the link below).Heather is the Founder and Director of Keto Brain Health Ltd.Links:www.heatherfoley.co.ukwww.ketobrainhealth.co.ukInstagram:   @ketobrainhealth  Other videos / books mentioned in this podcast:Bessel van der Kolk: The Body holds the score: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Body-Keeps-Score-Transformation-Trauma/dp/0141978619 Benjamin Bickman - Why we get sick: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-We-Get-Sick-Epidemic/dp/1953295770 Michel Deladoey: Dry Fasting Revolution - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dry-Fasting-Revolution-Practical-Guide/dp/1917329180Sergey Filanov: Dry Fasting - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Questions-Answers-About-Dry-Fasting/dp/B09JRTTVCS Enjoy!! Bill @move_the_dirt ------------------DISCLAMER------------------ THE INFORMATION IN THIS PODCAST IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.  IT IS NOT INTENDED TO PROVIDE MEDICAL, LEGAL OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.  YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM AN APPROPRIATELY QUALIFIED AND TRAINED PROFESSIONAL.  Send a text
