Therapeutic
I voiced to my current care practitioner that I was ready to reduce my medication. She was anxious about this and said that it was likely my symptoms would come back. Even though she disagreed, we worked together and have been reducing for four months, seeing a lot of benefits such as increased thinking capacity.
Integration
I had a blood test which showed my prolactin level was very high. It has since gone down somewhat. I measure my ketones with urine strips. In terms of supplements I take vitamin D, fish oil, L-carnitine, and a multivitamin.
Nutritional
I followed a full keto diet with less than 15 net carbs per day. I don't eat very large amounts of fat, but I consistently have a small amount with every meal. I find a little bit goes a long way. Finding the right amount of protein for me was also key in terms of weight loss. I fast for 20 hours a day, eating my first meal at 1:30 and my second meal at 4:30 pm. I find I can manage this ok without getting too hungry, and it has been easier over time. When it comes to social events and holidays, I try to be pretty strict and just tell people I can't eat out.
Ketosis
I measure ketones with urine strips and test once per day at night.
