This is Your Brain on Ketones page

Finally! I've suggested this topic on MDA before with no luck. Luckily, Dr. Emily Deans just addressed the subject here:
http://evolutionarypsychiatry.blogsp...n-ketones.html

Her blog, Evolutionary Psychiatry, is quickly becoming one of my favs, I strongly recommend it.

I will say that I feel much calmer without sugar in my diet, for whatever reason.

Cool post, thanks. I'm a dummy. What is MCT oil?

Followed some of the links there to some great anthropology blogs.

Medium chail triglycerides...coconut oil is a good example.

You have? I'd have backed you up It's talked about frequently - very frequently - in my journal as mental health, especially anxiety and depression, have been hot topics in that thread.

I quip freqeuntly that "I love my brain on ketones". I'm much less sensitive, much happier, enjoy dramatically increased mood stability. (though that may not be so clear lately.....but then again, I'm not in ketosis so there is that. lol)

my journal

Aside from a one day stint of depression while trying to get used to ketosis the second time, and some brutal weeks of anxiety the first time getting used to ketosis, my symptoms are gone.

I have no more mood lability issues, no heart palpitations...chronic fatigue, no brain fog

We're on our way down to the beach now..... If you all knew me, you'd know how shocking this is.

It's so much fun though now.....my brain on primal - I just can't get over it. Good stuff.

And it's a damn good thing this newly strong centered me has emerged - aka 'my brain on primal' - .......calm and centered

Her blog is a very very good and I enjoy reading it along with the others we often discuss here: heartscan, cooling inflammation etc

Thanks for taking the time to post, Serial. Your input, unique and exceptionally informed perspective are very much appreciated here. Glad to see you back.
