Abstract

We assigned participants with psychotic symptoms (n=24) to a ketogenic diet (KD) or an unchanged diet and collected pre- and post-diet data from blood tests, neuropsychological assessments, and symptom assessments. KD participants showed improved metabolic markers, cognitive performance, and symptoms; indicating KD may address metabolic pathology present in psychotic disorders.
