Labs to Check Before Starting Ketosis for Mental Health

Emerging evidence and clinical experience indicate that nutritional ketosis from a ketogenic diet can be an effective treatment for many psychiatric conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety, and more. But before starting a keto diet to treat mental illness, there are a number of labs you should consider checking and following to help ensure safety and efficacy. In this video, we review these labs, when and how often to consider checking them, and what you may expect to change. This is a great resource to watch and share with your healthcare practitioner as you embark on your ketogenic journey.

If you are interested in ordering your own labs, you can easily order them online through Own Your Labs. Own Your Labs give you the power to privately order blood work through Labcorp. Visit the link below to get started:
