This will be my third year of a straight ketovore diet, with about 10 years on and off. A few months ago I added iodine and D / K to my diet, as well as an antioxidant in the form of N-acetyl L-carnosine, and both seemed useful in bringing me back to normal - “normal” meaning some hair growth and general sense of … well … youth? Energy / strength. (I’m 62, female, 10 years past menopause, and of a healthy weight for my height).
Lately I’ve been feeling stuck, and just exhausted, and I look it, too. There are some situational stress factors here, and I suppose it could be a seasonal lack of sunshine and exercise, but has anyone else on a long term keto/carni diet started to feel like it doesn’t work for their mental health or energy after a while? I also have a taste / sensation in my mouth, like I’ve just chewed on a grapefruit rind. Does anyone have experience with these supplements and whether they can help or harm a sense of well being?
