Therapeutic
I have a care team and coordinator through the State of New York and I need to track my Lithium levels to ensure they are within the therapeutic range.
Integration
I test my ketones level daily and do a lipid panel every 3 months along with my lithium level. I take supplements. I take creatine because it helps with ATP production and there is evidence it is useful to brain metabolism as well as muscle metabolism. I also supplement with a multivitamin.
Nutritional
I usually skip breakfast and I eat a diet high in fat and protein. I sometimes take Cod Liver Oil or eat butter to make sure I'm getting enough fat in my diet. I try to keep my net carb level below 30g per day and ideally I shoot for less than 20g per day. On Mother's Day I ate more carbs than I should have. It was a cheat day, but I was depressed the next day, which showed me the importance of staying adherent to the diet.
Ketosis
I use a blood ketone testing meter and I try to test every day. I shoot to have my Blood Ketone level at around 1.0 mmol per liter.
