Therapeutic
I was followed by my doctor and have seen many psychologists during the years but nothing really helped. My doctor monitored my ADHD meds. I had to stop taking my antidepressants because I got worse. I became more depressed than ever. We had to up my dosage of ADHD meds at one point so that I could become functional. I mostly tracked how I was feeling.
Integration
I wore a CGM at the beginning of my keto/carnivore journey to see what foods would spike my glucose. This was life changing! It would also help me monitor my moods after a spike when I got off track, and it got me to know my body/brain better and how I reacted to spikes. Ex: spikes give me palpitations/I feel anxious, and it can impair my sleep. I later purchased a Keto-Mojo and measured my GKI index - I feel at my best when it's over 1.5. I took electrolytes at the beginning of my journey but now I just use unrefined salt. I took magnesium before bed but now I'm not taking any more supplements. I feel good with clean eating.
Nutritional
I mostly eat carnivore now, but now that I am healed, I will indulge from time to time (vacation/special occasion) but get right back on track. I do not track any macros. I eat when I am hungry and basically eat once a day. High fat works best for me so I eat a lot of butter with my steak and eggs (that's my go to). My eating window is mostly 7-3pm, but sometimes, I close it earlier. Fasting is a daily part of my protocol. I also do some dry fasting as this is very powerful when aiming to bring up my ketone levels. I make sure to use salt (unrefined) every day as well.
Ketosis
I was using the Keto-Mojo and was testing once a day for a while, but now, I know how it feels at my best. I like to keep my ketones around over 1 as a minimum.
