Yes, it’s helped me tremendously. For most of the week I eat Keto. (When I say most of the week, I do fall off the wagon from time to time. I like ice cream lol) but it’s human nature to fall off the wagon and eat whatever you feel like. I would say 5 days out of the week I eat a Keto Diet. So a lot of fat and protein. A few carbohydrates, maybe 40 carbs a day and this has all helped me with anxiety. I believe in the “leaky gut” theory. Doctors and scientists are starting to find links between gut health and brain health. Some psychiatrists are actually starting to believe that all mental disorders (anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, etc) are autoimmune. Look up Dr. Chris Palmer or Dr. Paul Saladino. They are both psychiatrists that believe this theory.

I have had gut issues for years and I do believe they’re linked to my mental health problems. However, I also have a lot of obsessions around weight/food, and when I’ve tried special diets I usually can’t stop myself from obsessing about it, being scared to eat anything in case it’s “wrong”, etc. I find I’m healthiest when I just eat what I want, within reason. Everyone is different, of course—just offering one perspective. 🙂

I have a healthy diet, however I have wondered about the whole gut - - brain link. There is evidence that seems to prove that yes, eating well does affects the brain. Hopefully someone else will comment so we can find out 😅

6 months ago I had a severe panic attack and it’s changed my life. Scared of 99% of foods, can’t take meds out of fear, been hospitalized a few times cause of blood sugar drops and other health scares due to poor eating. I’m constantly scanning my body finding any little thing that’s uncomfortable and then fixate and panic over the smallest things. Whether be a smell I’m unfamiliar with, a weird sensation in my arm literally anything freaks me out….. who has had success with exposure or has dealt with similar issues. I feel like I’m unintentionally slowly killing myself but I’m too scared for meds and therapy doesn’t seem to make much of a dent right now. Please share some success stories I need hope.
