I watched an interesting video on YouTube last night.  Georgia Ede was the guest.  She is a psychiatrist who advocates for the Ketogenic diet to improve mental health.  I have been on Keto since August of 2023.  Now it makes sense that I haven't needed therapy for a long time.  I don't have panic attacks anymore.  Let me know if you want me to put the link on here.  It's long but worth your time.  Added bonus is that you will lose weight on Keto.

Dr Mercola is now saying he doesn't support Keto diets because research has shown most people need limited amount of carbs to create good intestinal health which is where our feel good chemicals are created. Like serotonin. And that limited carbs can be necessary to create the proper probiotics and prebiotics in our intestines for good health. I find the whole thing interesting and feel we must learn our bodies and do what our bodies need. What works for you is fabulous and I am so glad you have found some answers. This is so great for you.
