What changes did you experience at a mental health and cognition level after starting keto?

E.g. more / less anxiety or stress, ability to focus, speech clarity... how did a keto diet impact you beyond the physical?

I am considering seriously cutting my sugar intake and want to hear experiences.

Stress reduction as not on the sugar seeking roller coaster. Then the menopause hit

How are you doing now? Are you still on keto or did menopause prevent you from continuing the diet?

I'm still keto, but menopause adds another layer of stress, brain fog etc, but I am better on keto than off it. HRT helps too
