My mom is my care team. She reads a lot of books and studies on metabolic and ketogenic therapies. She helped me do it all with the help of our pharmacist to decrease my medications.

I eat a whole foods animal based keto. I eat what makes me feel good. I bring my own food to social gatherings. My mom helps me keep my ratios around 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs or less.

I used to have a really difficult time being in public spaces. It would trigger my anxiety, and my bipolar episode would soon follow. I started going with my parents on little trips to stores to help me get better at being in social places.
