"When researching ketogenic diets, I stumbled across the carnivore diet, and I decided I would try that for 30 days. I was hoping the protein would help my aching muscles. Instead, my entire life changed. Three weeks into the carnivore diet, my wife told me this was the best my anxiety had been in the 11 years that she had known me. I felt like I was meeting myself for the first time! It was beautiful."
Anxiety/racing thoughts around food.
Modified ketogenic diet, daily cardio, and intermittent fasting.

Monitor blood panel, supplement with MCT, Unimate by Unicity (concentrated yerba mate designed to increase fatty acid oxidation and ketone production), and electrolytes.
Modified animal based ketogenic diet. I keep my fat % high, protein % moderate, and I flex in some carbohydrates to support my distance running.
Rarely test, but when I have tested in the past my ketones have been between 1.0-1.3.
I prioritize sleep! Rest=recovery. I'm in bed by 10 pm at the latest and up by 6 am most days. I use a white noise machine, sleep in a cool dark room, and do a short meditation before bed.
Long distance running 6 days a week. Strength training 2 days a week.
Avoid negative people, ultra processed foods, sugars, seed oils, and limit caffeine to 2 servings daily.
I started new career working as a dietitian helping type 2 diabetics reverse their disease. I've been able to speak at several conferences on low carb nutrition. I started a charity project where we purchase local beef for the food pantry. I'm spending more time connecting with friends and family.
Full metabolic panel twice a year, track running performance, and have trusted friends that check in regarding overall mood and eating behavior.
