How I build clinical & emotional support & manage medications
No formal care team. I was essentially self-taught: through years of reading, research, podcasts, and lectures, I rebuilt my lifestyle around what I call the five pillars of metabolic health (nutrition, sleep, movement, light exposure & grounding).
Integration
Lab results I track & supplements I take
Electrolytes, especially when training hard and creatine (high-dose) to help on the days following any nights of very interrupted sleep with my ASD son. I try to get my GP to do a full blood panel once a year but because it's the NHS and I'm "not following the dietary guidelines." I have had a few years where I've been refused, so no meaningful data. I'm not bothered because I feel significantly better.
Nutritional
How I eat, incorporate fasting, & approach macronutrients
Ketogenic at first, then fell off while finishing my MSc. Keto again after graduating, but eventually went carnivore. After years of carnivore I've settled in what I call "hyper-carnivore" (at least 70% animal-based with up to 30% plants & fungi). Between 155g - 170g of protein per day. At least 1:1 fat to protein ratio. Carbs as low as possible. I found that as I was eating far more nutrient dense and bioavailable foods, my satiety levels increased to the point where I eat on average once per day (twice when training really hard and subsequently hungrier).
Ketosis
Target ketone levels & testing methods
Yes I did in the beginning with the urine strips, but soon stopped because I noticed that as long as I ate what I knew to be very low-carb, I felt really good - crystal clear mind.
