I believe that the most powerful way to change your brain chemistry is through food—because that's where brain chemicals come from in the first place! Feeding your brain properly has the potential to get to the actual root of the problem, which may allow you to reduce the amount of medication you need to feel well and function at your best.

Over the course of several years back in the day, suffering from debilitating depression, I had 5 different psychiatrists. Not one ever asked me what I ate or if I exercised. The usual first question was, "What medications have you tried?". The first doctor seemed dumbfounded that I hadn't been on any medication before, given my depression "score".
Supplementing with the appropriate kind and amount of magnesium was the best "antidepressant" I found. Back when I was trying the drugs, the ones that boosted norepinephrine were the worst for me. Similar problems with VLC. But I can see how keto would definitely work for some people, as in the article.
