Lots of people we know are depressed, you might be depressed. Keto is a power tool in metabolic psychiatry and should be the first leaver people try to address persistent depression.

I think speculative and preliminary is accurate. It’s certainly something people could try.

Yup! Early days in metabolic psychiatry. But since keto is free (you got to eat anyway), doesn't require a doctor's visit, and is tolerated very well by people - why not try it first?
