Robyn Dobbins

Lived-Experience Advocate; Metabolic Health & Wellness Coach

Hi! I’m Robyn. In August 2017, I turned to a low-carb diet to address a metabolic health issue with my cholesterol. At the time, I was living with bipolar disorder, OCD, and depression, and believed the antipsychotics and antidepressants I was taking were my only option for mental wellness, so I focused solely on improving my physical health. I embraced a low-carb, then ketogenic, and eventually carnivore diet as part of my effort to take control of my health. I saw impressive physical results, losing over 50 pounds and regaining my energy, but didn’t initially connect these changes to my mental wellness.

It wasn’t until a year into this new lifestyle that everything shifted. I heard Dr. Georgia Ede speak on a podcast about the link between ketogenic diets and mental wellness and how her patients achieved improvements in bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions. Only then did I turn my attention to my own story, realizing that my psychiatric symptoms had quietly faded since changing my diet. That moment of recognition inspired me to reflect deeply, share my journey, and start advocating for metabolic psychiatry and whole-person healing.​​

My story has been featured in the Cholesterol Code documentary, and I was honored as a finalist for the Metabolic Mind Fresh Start Award, recognizing my advocacy for mental health solutions that go beyond medication. I launched the Ketobiography podcast to highlight other inspiring stories of healing through low-carb and ketogenic approaches, and to bring leaders in metabolic and mental health together to share hope and practical solutions.​​

Driven to help others reclaim both physical and mental health, I earned my Nutrition Network Advisor certification, completed training in Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health with Dr. Georgia Ede, and became a member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. Now, as a metabolic health and wellness coach, I combine these credentials with lived experience, guiding clients to sustainable change with empathy, evidence, and real-world success.​  I’m here to help you write your own story of transformation—one discovery, one connection, and one courageous step at a time.
