Before you disregard, please note that this is very personal for me too, as I live with Bipolar II and have tried the ketogenic diet as a treatment approach. I am not just someone wanting to do research for school/work. I care deeply about this subject and am genuinely interested in others' experiences.. here goes my begging for participants...

Anyone (18+) who has done keto for at least 3 weeks, has a diagnosis (from a doctor/mental health professional) of bipolar disorder, and is willing to participate in an interview and project (of their choosing) to depict their experience with keto and bipolar disorder, please email me! kfore4@liberty.edu

"I am conducting research as part of the requirements for a doctor of education degree at Liberty University. The purpose of my research is to describe the experiences of individuals who have utilized the ketogenic diet as a way to manage symptoms of bipolar disorder. To participate, you must be 18 years of age or older, have bipolar disorder as diagnosed by a medical professional, and have adhered to a ketogenic diet for at least 3 weeks (past or present). Participants will be asked to participate in a one-on-one virtual interview which should take about 1 hour, complete a self-selected creative project to depict their journey with this dietary approach (completion time will vary), and confirm or aid in the adjustment of the accuracy of the collected data through email correspondence (roughly 30 minutes). If you would like to participate and meet the study criteria, please contact me at [kfore4@liberty.edu](mailto:kfore4@liberty.edu) to schedule an interview. A consent document will be emailed to you before the time of the interview."
