Mental Health Screeners
A growing body of psychiatry called “metabolic psychiatry” has found that many mental health conditions respond favorably to ketogenic and carnivore diets. These diets can often reduce the effects of these conditions and put many into remission.
A good place to start for more information on the connection between the mind and metabolic health is Metabolic Mind.
