Anecdotes

An underrated benefit of the ketogenic diet is its ability to lower the glutamate-to-GABA ratio, which suggests its main benefits after epilepsy would be for psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases involving too much glutamate activity or too little GABA activity, which could arguably have some application chronic pain and asthma too, though I think asthma would be complicated by potential negative effects on glutathione status. - Chris Masterjohn, PhD

Nutritional ketosis + salt restriction = adrenal stress (and this is probably why many people think that low carb/keto diets ‘don’t work’ for them, they aren’t for everyone, but there are some people that weren’t quite doing it right). Only consuming 2g of sodium per day doubled the risk of death compared to 4g per day. If eating low carb/keto, it is recommended that you get 5 g of sodium per day, up to about 8g (if you sweat a lot through training). 1 teaspoon of table salt is actually only 2.3g of sodium (the rest is chloride).
