What is your experience: ketogenic diet and PTSD?

I’m interested in the connection between ketogenic metabolic therapy and PTSD.

My current thinking is that some people with PTSD may have a more vulnerable or metabolically stressed nervous system, and that improving brain energy metabolism may help with regulation, resilience, and symptom stability.

This recent case report looks at ketogenic metabolic therapy for treatment-resistant PTSD:
