"Before finding metabolic therapies, I was constantly dysregulated, often angry, unable to work, near personal and financial ruin...Within a week of getting into ketosis, I was already feeling a lot better...I now view my intense struggles as a gift that led me to finally understand myself and what I need to do to be healthy."
Resilience. Happiness. Productivity.
Very low-carb diet, stress reduction & sleep.
Dr. Matthew Bernstein was a doctor I had to find outside of my network. Since meds made me worse, I wasn't on any when starting. Dr. Bernstein was there to monitor for adverse reactions and protect my sleep.
No supplements. We did some labs for cholesterol and other related markers.
I started with green veggies and high-fat cuts of meat with lots of high-fat no-carb dessert items I made myself. I did intermittent fasting for a few weeks before starting and lots of electrolytes to avoid discomfort while adapting to my new diet. It was seamless and easy for me. I know others may have a harder time adapting. I still often fast.
Keto-Mojo! I check glucose and ketones daily.
Try to minimize stress. Don't allow myself to stay up doing a fun project too late in the evening. Get direct sun exposure as often as possible early in the day. Gaze at the setting sun.
None at the moment.
Alcohol. And I have learned to know my social activity limits. I can become over stimulated if there are too many people for too long or I just have reached my limit of being with people. I also have learned that certain intense light can totally sink my energy for hours, so I vigorously avoid them.
Better health and a clearer mind gave me the energy and optimism I needed.
Glucose and ketones.
