The increasing rates of suicide and addiction are serious issues that seldom get discussed publicly, and most people tend to think that there is nothing that can be done about them.

Contrary to that is the use of ketones and ketosis to change one’s emotional disposition. That information is serious and important, and it is not difficult to understand it or carry it out. We hope you will agree with that as we all climb out of this pandemic together.

Covid

The first reports of Covid came out a year ago. People found themselves having to stay inside their homes, college students were unable to have a normal year, and high-school students could not celebrate their graduations. The pressures of the Covid situation also left many of us with ongoing sets of problems, which include mental health issues.

Suicide rates are on the rise

The problem that we are going to focus on today is that suicide rates are on the rise.

The ketogenic diet

Dr. Karl got into the ketogenic diet for his health because he was looking for something to move his immune system in a more positive direction. The ketogenic diet worked, and as a result, he felt obliged to look into how that happened.

GABA production

Ketones help the GABA receptors stimulate GABA production. 

GABA is also anti-addiction. 

Meditation

You can access GABA without the use of any medications by meditating. You can calm yourself with meditation. It slows down the conversion to glutamate and increases the production of GABA.

Shifting to a ketogenic diet

There is a biochemical aspect to becoming more positive-minded. When people shift to a ketogenic diet and stop eating processed foods, they become more functional, balanced, reasonable, optimistic, and positive-minded. And they also become better able to do things and participate.

Increasing your levels of access to ketones

You can increase your levels of access to ketones through your diet with MCT oil (C8 or C10) and with exogenous ketones, which you can buy from Amazon.
