Can your diet really impact your mood? 🧠🥑 
A new study says yes, especially if you’re eating keto Researchers looked at nearly 20 years of data and found that people with a higher ketogenic diet ratio (KDR), a diet higher in fat and lower in carbs and protein, had a significantly lower risk of depression PMID: 40194628 Why does this matter? 
Because people with depression often have elevated levels of glutamate, a brain chemical that can become overactive and toxic in excess Ketones (the molecules your body produces on a keto diet) may help regulate glutamate, potentially protecting the brain and improving mood Here’s what the study found:
→ People with a KDR over 0.35 had up to 89% lower odds of depression
→ Higher KDR was linked to less severe symptoms
→ The effect was stronger in certain populations (though more research is needed there) 🧬 While further research needs to be done, and this doesn’t mean keto is a magic fix, it’s an exciting look into how metabolic health and mental health are deeply connected Your brain runs on what you feed it.
