Hello everyone, my name is Daniel du Toit, I am a researcher from Northumbria University. I am currently looking for participants on or off ketogenic diets to complete a short (10 min) anonymous survey looking at diet and risk factors for developing a mental illness. Currently, there is a huge lack of research on the potential benefits of a keto diet for people at risk of developing these illnesses, and this study is seeking to fill this gap by looking at whether being on these diets is associated with fewer of the risk factors for schizophrenia, signs that are visible in the entire population, but might be lower in keto groups.

Hopefully, this research will provide the support needed for larger Randomised Controlled Trials to be conducted on keto diets. Additionally, this study also seeks to normalise metabolic interventions for issues that have been classically treated by powerful psychotropic medications. Finally, I would like to mention that this study is entirely non-profit
Huge thank you to everyone who takes part. I will be sure to answer any questions that you might have.
