@colleenyoung Thanks for your nice note and the link to the Mayo article. Along with intermediate fasting and Keto, I'm exploring tea and all it's amazing medicinal properties. When I was growing up, all I knew was Lipton tea in bags, which is pretty sad. Now I'm trying a myriad of varieties and mixes, which are delicious, give me energy, and are helping me lose weight. I'm actually starting a coached 14 day intermittent fast using different teas beginning February 22. Participants don't have to follow a strict Keto plan but can. The program features Dr. Jason Fung, leading expert on fasting, obesity, and Keto; Dr. Will Cole, leading expert on functional medicine and Keto; and Margaret Ramos. There are two ways to sign up: 1. If you buy tea from Pique Tea, you can participate for free -- https://help.piquetea.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260802080690-What-is-included-in-the-Fasting-Practice-; and 2. If you sign up for a month's program through the Intermediate Fasting website. https://thefastingmethod.com/ you can participate with no additional charge. You have to register by February 19. Several days have a 16/8 fasting window and others a 20/4. Since I've been doing the 16/8 without using Keto, I want to try the 20/4 using Keto and will probably do that for the 14 days. How to do all of this is on the internet, on YouTube, or in books; but it's hard to change eating patterns and habits of 74 years. I think it will be fun and helpful doing it as part of a group for 14 days and have a chance to hear and interact with world famous experts...for the price of some tea. Thanks for everything you do help us along our way to better health. Nancy

Colleen, Have you heard of " Internal anxiety - that's not caused by physical circumstances- but from muscles spasms. Its something I've been working with my Parkinson's doctor every couple months-as it increases at times when I try to sleep. I'm told its part of the movement disorder many Parkinson's patience's faces- along with the Parkinson's side affects and the constant ( body moving 24/7). I hope I explained this right- I see my Doctor again next week- he teaches once a month on line- and where anyone can ask questions. Thank you. John South

Would like to know if somebody had to adjust the antidepressant while starting to have extra energy from the keto diet. I am experiencing an extra boost on energy after starting ketosis? I am on the green keto diet for mental clarity and mood.
