My depression lifted. I stopped having life-consuming thoughts for creating systems and order. I am able to experience joy because I'm no longer in a chaotic, angry state.
Meat-Based-No Sugars No Grains (NSNG) diet, strength training, time-restricted eating.
Direct primary care physician who monitors bloodwork and symptoms.
Testing as requested by DO. Daily supplements: vitamin D, magnesium, salt, and potassium.
18:6 daily intermittent fasting, mostly carnivore, always NSNG (no sugars no grains). I don't track macros, but I never go above 20g carbs on any given day. Most days are zero carb.
I've maintained my remission without ever testing ketones. However, because I rarely eat carbs, I'm confident that I'm in ketosis.
I maintain a strict sleep schedule daily. Instead of waking to an alarm, I wake to my white noise gently turning off. I sleep in a cool, dark room, using a sleep mask if necessary.
Strength training 6x/week, daily yoga, daily walks. Cardio exercises up to an hour 4 days/week when not injured.
Eliminated all processed carbohydrates, refined sugars and grains. Moderate whole-food carbs, limited to very few vegetables & blueberries. Limit coffee to 2 measured cups per day. No alcohol.
I find great joy in helping others gain benefit from eating low carb. Spending time in the community keeps me grounded.
I've asked my family to monitor my mental health symptoms as they notice them before I recognize them.
Metabolic and thyroid panels at least twice a year.
