My THINK + SMART Profile

Strategy Image

Key Symptoms Addressed

Attention and mood.

My Top Three Strategies

Intense daily cardio, guided mediation on the Calm app, and keto.

T
H

Therapeutic

Psychiatrist, therapist, and primary care physician.

I

Integration

Comprehensive metabolic panel, A1C, ketones, lipid panel. Supplements: b12, d3, omega 3.

N

Nutritional

I began with a classic ketogenic diet, less than 20 grams of carbs per day. I have added some foods such as berries in moderation. I do a 16:8 fasting most days. I have found substitutes for my favorite treats for holidays. I pack my own food for special events or bring a keto dish. I now aim for 70 percent fat, 20 to 30 percent protein, and 10 or less percent carbs daily. I do not count calories.

K

Ketosis

I use Keto-Mojo and test once per day. I feel best at 1.5 mmol or higher, but still do well at 1.0-1.5.

S

Sleep

Light box in the mornings for 15 minutes, routine bedtime and wake time, and guided meditation app before bed.

M

Move

Jogging, strength training, and yoga.

A

Avoid

Abstain from alcohol, limit caffeine, and avoid grazing behavior, even with keto compliant food.

R

Rebuild

Meditation, DBT, and spirituality.

T

Track

Fitbit, Keto-Mojo, and CGM.
