Saw the cardiologist yesterday and my ECG is back to normal. She thinks that the ECG showing the prolonged QTC interval was a one-off so no changes to my psych meds for now. Yay!

She wants me to eat a ‘whole food’ diet - a Mediterranean diet with nothing processed. Basically meat and veg. This feels doable.
I can’t do the true ‘keto’ thing because of my kidneys (protein too high) and heart (fat too high). In addition my endocrinologist wants me to avoid carbs. So I guess like Christina I’m going to be drinking water and eating tossed air!
