Ally Houston
Ketogenic Diet PhD Researcher
With the generosity of Baszucki Group and crowdfunding donors, I am conducting a randomised controlled trial on ketogenic diet plus coaching for ADHD and associated depression symptoms.
My primary supervisor is Professor Michael Browning. My other supervisors are Professor Leanne Hodson and Professor Zoltan Sarnyai.
My background originally was in physics. My health, including mental health, took a quantum leap forward when I changed my diet and lifestyle in 2016, at which point I began to pursue research questions in ketogenic nutrition. My publication history is here: https://orcid.org/0009-0009-7954-8303.
My full time job is as co-founder and CEO of MetPsy - metpsy.com - where we use the principles of metabolic psychiatry to coach members to better mental health.
