Point your providers to Metabolic Mind website so they can learn how a keto lifestyle will improve your health including your mental health!
Integration
Establish your starting metabolic health status. You will need extra salt and magnesium on a keto diet.
Nutritional
I follow Page 4 for the most part. Also Dr. Westman's book End your Carb Confusion is fantastic! I try to stop eating at least 4 hours before bed. There are many ways to stay in nutritional ketosis. Animal based keto works for me. Find what works for you! I have limited carbs to 30 - 50 grams total, not net carbs, per day for the last 7 years.
Ketosis
Check blood BHB levels in the morning before eating. I like mine 0.8 or higher. What you may need can be different and what level you need will change over time.
