The Foundation of Metabolic Mental Health
THINK+SMART collects and organizes metabolic strategies to help you adopt a personalized approach to mental and physical health. It was developed to encourage learning, sharing and planning key components of metabolic mental wellness, including therapeutic low carbohydrate nutrition, circadian rhythm management, movement and exercise, substance use management, medication monitoring, stress reduction, rebuilding, and tracking.
Learn from the Community
“The gifts of metabolic therapies provided me with a strong foundation to address trauma.”
“Keto felt like starting a new medication, but without any side effects.”
“Keto gave me a stable nervous system and the capacity to implement other therapies.”
“For me, it was diet. That was the key. Diet and lifestyle – sleep, exercise, relationships – are powerful tools.”
Metabolic Mind on YouTube
Our YouTube channel includes hundreds of videos to help you get started using medical keto to treat a mental disorder. Check out these videos, or the entire playlist on getting started with keto for mental illness.
The Case for Keto
This handout, prepared by Dr. Georgia Ede, provides a helpful overview of the scientific and clinical rationale for using ketogenic diets in psychiatry, including links to published articles. Download it and share it with your clinicians, or simply send them to the “For Clinicians” page so they can learn more.

Establish Your Health Baseline
Before starting ketogenic therapy, many people find it helpful to request labs that will establish your metabolic health baseline and identify any pre-existing conditions. You could ask your psychiatrist or your primary care provider to order a blood draw, or order them yourself from Own Your Labs. This PDF includes a consensus from our clinical advisors as to the most helpful labs to draw before starting keto.
