Daisy's latest extraordinary woman, Amanda, talks about how she has long battled with IBS and mood disorders but how keto has really helped her get a handle on them.

Amanda is a writer for the low-carb site Diet Doctor, and has been following some form of low-carb or keto diet since 2014, but it took A LONG TIME for her to get it just right. Before that she simply avoided starch and sugar as much as she could, but didn’t calorie count.

Her success story has been featured on the Diet Doctor website and the link can be found in the show notes.

Amanda is currently really interested in mental health and keto, gut issues, body image and body acceptance, and whether we should restrict protein on a low-carb diet.

The supplement Amanda mentioned that she finds helpful for depression is L-Theanine and the one she uses can be found here.

This week’s end quote is from Mary Anne Radmacher

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”
