I know. I know. Its only a rat study but it does hold out the hope that exogenous ketone supplements can have a similar effect on humans.

Since many of the benefits of ketosis are mechanistically attributable to the ketone bodies, it is possible that exogenous ketone supplementation could mimic the therapeutic efficacy of the KD for certain disorders, including anxiety disorders, or other disorders, such as seizure disorders and AD that have a comorbidity of anxiety.

Currently you can buy exogenous ketones online but they are pretty expensive otherwise I'd be inclined to experiment on myself :)

He briefly mentions the potential for treating PTSD and anxiety in general towards the end of the podcast. Its the Dom D'Agostino episode.

Any eating plan, if mismanaged, will lead to health problems. Some minor, some fatal. Ketosis is quite easy to mis-manage, especially if you are approaching it as a fad-like weight loss trick, and not as a medically sound nutritional plan.

I remember reading another study about exogenous ketones...I'll see if I can dig it up.
 
Atkins causes ketoacidosis?
Ketosis is what you go into with the Adkins diet, which is burning your fuel naturally
Keto acidosis and Ketosis are 2 different things

You can use endogenous Ketones to stay in Ketosis

I have been using them for a year...they can be priced higher but you do get what you pay for.
