Depressed? You should try keto.
Lots of people we know are depressed, you might be depressed. Keto is a power tool in metabolic psychiatry and should be the first leaver people try to address persistent depression.
A 5m video introducing the idea: https://youtu.be/Stx1SkEHhmU
A 90m lecture on metabolic psychiatry mechanisms from Dr Ede - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkB6VheKmCg
And a book on metabolic psychiatry Change your Diet Change your Mind - https://www.amazon.com/Change-Your-Diet-Mind-Powerful/dp/1538739070
Metabolic Mind has a page dedicated to the research: metabolicmind.org/resources/topics/keto-for-depression/
Depressed? Your should try shrooms.
¿Porque no los dos?
Citations please.
You haven't got any citations, either. The website you linked has a research database. Click on a few on the studies and read the abstracts. It all seems very speculative and preliminary...
Yes, we do. Jet's provided that. But maybe you think we are all about spreading misinformation and you'd really prefer a statement from an authority. How do you feel about Stanford?

.... does that not count as citations?
How about - https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-025-03544-8 - A pilot study examining a ketogenic diet as an adjunct therapy in college students with major depressive disorder
Which i've posted before https://discuss.online/post/27361403
I think speculative and preliminary is accurate. It's certainly something people could try.
Yup! Early days in metabolic psychiatry. But since keto is free (you got to eat anyway), doesn't require a doctor's visit, and is tolerated very well by people - why not try it first?
The fucking internet ffs.
This is a community focused on metabolic health. There are plenty of other communities where you can tell others to try taking psychedelics for depression, but here we are primarily focused on the discussion of the various aspects of metabolic health and how they help with illnesses.
Also we'd prefer sources more credible than "the fucking internet, ffs" Psychedelics can work as adjunct therapies to therapeutic carbohydrate restriction. If you have interesting research, case studies, or testimonials to share we'd like that very much.
Can I have the peer reviewed study for OP’s claims please? Thanks in advance
OP's claims are peer reviewed. It's clear to me you haven't bothered to read them. See the third resource: http://metabolicmind.org/resources/topics/keto-for-depression/
Please also read the rules of this community, in the sidebar.
No. The page itself is not a peer-reviewed scientific paper. It is an informational article published by “Metabolic Mind,” an education and advocacy initiative of Baszucki Group focused on metabolic psychiatry.
So I ask again… peer reviewed scientific studies please. Otherwise, this is misleading medical advice and should probably not be here. Unsurprisingly, I see nothing in the sidebar about “truth” being a requirement.
It is once again very clear to me that you haven't read anything on the page itself. Since you are not engaging in good faith, I see no reason to continue our conversation.
I'm removing you from the community since you don't participate in a manner that is constructive. Rule 1, Rule 2, Rule 3, Rule 4, and also because you are using an LLM. If you believe your ban to be in error, you may contact the moderation team for a review of the ban.

I have a depressed friend, so had to put together this package for them, and thought I might as well share it will my good friends on lemmy (where depression seems to be a common theme)
