"I feel amazing...I am off all of my medications, I am in the classroom full time, I love doing and learning new things and spending time with my family now that my bipolar disorder doesn't control me anymore."
Hallucinations & episodes stopped.
Getting outside everyday, having a good sleep routine & whole foods keto diet.

There was no family doctor at beginning of journey, so no tests have been done. We supplement with MCT oil, vitamin D3, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
I eat a whole foods animal based keto. I eat what makes me feel good. I bring my own food to social gatherings. My mom helps me keep my ratios around 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs or less.
Urine test strips. I feel best when my ketones are above 1.5 (the higher the better). I test a couple times a week.
I make sure to go to bed and wake up around the same time every day, limit my screen time, and get outside.
Walking, biking, dancing, and playing with my dogs outside.
I used to have a really difficult time being in public spaces. It would trigger my anxiety, and my bipolar episode would soon follow. I started going with my parents on little trips to stores to help me get better at being in social places.
Meditation helps. Spending time with my family and loved ones.
We have a request in to our doctor for a CGM.
