Therapeutic
I didn't have a care team. I saw my general practitioner (GP) who referred me to a psychiatrist who I saw once only. I was offered anti-depressants on prescription but I never took them as I wanted to find a way to recover without using medication.
Integration
Nothing was tracked until I started a ketogenic diet myself and used ketone urine strips initially. I did use a variety of supplements before I started keto but didn't find I needed them so much after that. I did use vitamin D over winter. I used Epsom salts in the bath.
Nutritional
I used a liberal ketogenic diet without testing initially and would have days off in the beginning. Once I committed to staying keto for 3 months, I really noticed the difference and so have very rarely been out of ketosis since then, only if I ate something by mistake or when traveling struggled to get what I needed. Since then, I have learned many strategies to cope better, e.g. taking coconut oil with me or sachets of MCT oil, using high fat beef jerky and cheese and nuts when traveling or hiking. I ate a late breakfast at around 10am, a small lunch or sometimes no lunch, early dinner at around 5:30pm, and had a long overnight fast period. I did weigh and track everything for a few days, but at the beginning, I wasn't particular about my macros. I just wanted to be in ketosis.
Ketosis
Initially, I used urine strips, so I was just aiming to make sure I was in ketosis, but I now use Keto-Mojo and aim to be over 1.2mmol/L ideally. I don't test every day now, but if I don't feel great I will test and make sure I am at that level and if not aim to get it up as quickly as possible.
