What's your theory about the mechanism in Ketosis is affecting you?

My first thought was about Ketosis being used to treat epilepsy, but Ketosis can DRASTICALLY change the quality of your sleep.

Maybe you just needed the extra sleep, or deeper sleep that you are getting while on Keto.

I've taken maybe 10 medications for depression. Ketosis was more effective for me than probably 8 of them.

I have no idea. If I had to guess it would be metabolic problems with neurons that can’t use sugar or an inflammatory thing. But I haven’t got any idea what it might be. Maybe we’ll know someday.

I suspect a connection with the intestinal flora. Bacteria in the intestinal flora are able to synthesize all kinds of neurotransmitters from carbohydrates.

I myself become very lethargic under a normal carbohydrate-containing diet. On low carb I have a lot of motivation and a lot of energy.
