I do yoga for two hours every day (I practice all 8 arms, not just asana). I also hike every day. I meditate daily. I lift weights three times a week. I eat a very healthy vegan diet and supplement with a multi-vitamin, B12, a B-Complex sublingual liquid, and iron (I'm slightly anemic per my last blood test results). I eat almost exclusively organic (and plenty of raw veggies and fruits). I journal, track my moods, food, and water intake. I don't consume any caffeine and I do not EVER touch alcohol (seems like taking a mood stabilizer is dumb is you put stimulants and depressants into your body anyway--so counterproductive). I drink only water (usually distilled and 80-100 ounces a day). And when I'm not on meds, it's a disaster. But it's a huge challenge finding the right combo.

I know some people have done it, but I know that even with all of the above that I do not have any stability or control whatsoever without meds. I tried for a couple years and it got worse and worse. My BP2 became BP1 along with all sorts of other scary stuff associated with BP1. This has been my experience, but like I said I know some people have managed it (probably mild cases) without meds.
