Founded in 2022 by licensed mental health counselor Nicole Laurent, Brain Fog Recovery Source began quietly providing low-cost or free ketogenic metabolic therapy education and support to individuals struggling with serious psychiatric disorders. After witnessing remarkable psychiatric recoveries and a growing demand from individuals unable to access or benefit from traditional treatment methods, the organization expanded its mission and reach.

Making Ketogenic Therapy Accessible for Psychiatric Recovery – A Nonprofit Story

Today, Brain Fog Recovery Source delivers a clinician-led, online Metabolic Psychiatric Recovery Program designed specifically for people experiencing debilitating psychiatric symptoms on government disability at no cost, as well improving accessibility for low-income individuals. By using ketogenic dietary interventions alongside comprehensive education and individualized support, participants can explore the hope and promise of ketogenic therapies and may achieve measurable reductions in psychiatric symptoms, improved cognitive clarity, and meaningful gains in daily functioning.

Your donation directly funds program access for individuals who cannot afford treatment, allowing us to provide essential education, personalized support, and a path toward recovery to those most in need.

Help Us Expand Access to Metabolic Psychiatric Recovery

We are honored and thrilled to share that Baszucki Group is once again supporting Brain Fog Recovery Source with a generous matching gift . During the month of July, every donation to Brain Fog Recovery Source will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 , to help more people access education and support through our Metabolic Psychiatric Recovery Program Initiative . Last year, Baszucki Group believed in this work and offered a matching grant to help us expand scholarship access. Our community stepped up. Together, we met our fundraising goal, surpassed our access goal, and helped open the door for people around the world to explore what ketogenic diets and other metabolic therapies might make possible for them. Last year, we set a goal to enroll 120 main program participants. We surpassed it. From July 1, 2025 through July 1, 2026, Brain Fog Recovery Source enrolled 143 main program participants in the Metabolic Psychiatric Recovery Program Initiative. We also welcomed 71 support persons alongside them. That means 214 people received access to education, guidance, resources, live support, and community. Together, they represented 25 countries . That is what happens when people come together to expand access. This year, we are setting our goal even higher. With this new matching gift from Baszucki Group , our goal is to enroll 200 main program participants in the year ahead. That means 200 people receiving access to structured education and support as they explore ketogenic diets and other metabolic therapies as part of their recovery journey. And because we welcome support persons alongside main participants, the reach of this work extends even further. Parents, spouses, partners, siblings, adult children, caregivers, and trusted friends can learn alongside participants so recovery is not something people have to carry alone. What your donation makes possible Brain Fog Recovery Source helps people access the kind of education and support they may not otherwise be able to receive while waiting for metabolic therapies to become standard-of-care options. Participants in the Metabolic Psychiatric Recovery Program Initiative receive access to: Structured online education Practical dietary guidance Live support opportunities Program resources A private learning community Support for exploring ketogenic metabolic therapy alongside existing medical care Scholarship participants are not given a reduced version of the program. They receive the same core education and support as private-paying participants. Your donation helps make that possible. Why this campaign matters This campaign is about hope, recovery, and access. It is about making sure people with serious mental illness, disability, and financial barriers are not left out of the growing metabolic psychiatry conversation. It is about helping people learn what may be possible for their brain health, daily functioning, and quality of life. It is about giving people education, guidance, and community instead of leaving them to figure everything out alone. And this July, your gift goes twice as far. Your gift will be matched. Thanks to Baszucki Group , every donation made during July will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $25,000 . Your $25 gift becomes $50. Your $50 gift becomes $100. Your $100 gift becomes $200. Your $500 gift becomes $1,000. Every gift helps expand access. Every gift helps someone receive education and support. Every gift helps us move closer to enrolling 200 main program participants in the year ahead. Join us this July. Last year, this community helped us turn a matching grant into real access for 214 people across 25 countries on 6 continents. This year, with Baszucki Group ’s renewed support, we have the chance to reach even more. Donate in July and help Brain Fog Recovery Source expand access to metabolic psychiatric recovery education and support.

Giving Tuesday: Fund No Waitlist December

Quarterly enrollments through our Metabolic Psychiatric Recovery Program initiative increased 84% from Q2 to Q3 and outpaced our original fundraising ask based on the best data we had about demand. So we started a wait list and right now there 0 individuals on it (down from 32 thanks to recent donors!), many with support persons, who are waiting to begin the enrollment process. Note: This is the number on the wait list at the time of this campaign post. We will update this number in the campaign description as it grows between now and Giving Tuesday. We would like to accommodate them sooner by using Giving Tuesday as a way to fundraise the costs of immediate access for these individuals and their support persons. Our goal is to onboard every last one of them by the end of December on top of our usual influx of program participants entering through the nonprofit. Why this matters now When someone finally reaches out for help, timing is everything. A wait list does more than delay access to the education and support needed to implement metabolic therapies for psychiatric recovery. It risks lost momentum, missed windows of motivation, and a continuation of suffering that could be relieved just a few weeks or months sooner. Funding No Waitlist December means we say yes to people closer to the day they are ready to begin. Removing the wait list this month turns intention into action while support networks are standing by with hope and encouragement. Who benefits The 0 people waiting to enroll (down from 32!) include adults navigating severe mood and anxiety symptoms. Many have found us after years of trial and error with insufficient standard of care treatments. They are ready to follow a structured approach with education, support, and practical tools. Funding this campaign moves each of them from holding pattern to active participation in ketogenic and other metabolic therapies. What your gift makes possible Giving Tuesday donations open the flood gates into the program for those waiting. It funds the behind the scenes work that makes this possible such as staffing hours for onboarding, program coordination, and documentation review . In short, you are buying access to education, support, and a timely start date for someone who is ready to explore the hope and promise that metabolic therapies have to offer. Concrete impact this month Success for this campaign is simple and measurable. Zero people left on the wait list by December’s end. If we exceed our funding needs to clear the December wait list, those additional funds will expand capacity for January and beyond so we do not rebuild a wait list as new referrals arrive. As a Donor you will be invited to receive a Quarterly Report we send out showing the impact of your gift. You will see how many more people we were able to accommodate when this campaign meets or exceeds our needs, all thanks to you. How to think about your impact Gifts of any size work to move people off the list and into access. Recurring gifts help us manage increases in demand we didn't see coming each month. However you give, you shorten time to their first Q&A session and move someone off the wait list now. Join us Give so that readiness meets opportunity. Give so that families do not have to wait through the holidays. Give so that 10 people and their support persons can start now. We will run this campaign all the way through New Year’s Eve!
