Other natural remedies mentioned include myoinositol, NAC, glycine, l-servine, and natural versions of thiamine or B1.

Typical Treatments for OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that affects millions of people worldwide. The condition is characterized by intrusive and obsessive thoughts, repetitive rituals or behaviors that aim at reducing anxiety, and the need to maintain order and symmetry in one’s surroundings. People with OCD experience significant distress and impairment in their daily activities, affecting their quality of life. The most common treatments for OCD are medication and psychotherapy, which may take several months to show improvement.
What is OCD?
To better understand OCD, it’s essential to know that it involves an abnormality in the brain’s processing of information. The brain triggers repeated signals that cause the individual to have intrusive thoughts that lead to compulsions aimed at easing anxiety. OCD can be severe, and sufferers may experience disabling anxiety and depression. In severe cases, the behaviors become so severe that they interfere with the individual’s daily life.
The Best Diet for OCD
Research has shown that following a Healthy Keto® diet and intermittent fasting could be beneficial for people with OCD. Studies indicate that the ketogenic diet can have a positive impact on mood disorders, including OCD. The keto diet’s high-fat content provides the brain with an alternative source of energy, ketones, which can reduce brain inflammation and modulate neurotransmitters’ levels. Intermittent fasting can also boost brain function and promote neuroplasticity, helping the brain reshape its connections and responses to stimuli.
Natural Alternatives for OCD
In addition to the Healthy Keto® diet and intermittent fasting, several natural remedies can help manage OCD symptoms. These remedies can be used alone or in combination with traditional treatment to reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Some of the best natural remedies for OCD include Myo-inositol, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), Glycine, L-serine, Thiamine (vitamin B1), and probiotic foods.

If you’re interested in learning more about how to follow a Healthy Keto® diet, Dr. Eric Berg DC has several informative videos on his social media channels. Dr. Berg is an expert in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting and has written a best-selling book on the subject. It’s important to note that while natural remedies can help manage OCD symptoms, they should not replace traditional treatments recommended by a mental health professional.
In conclusion, OCD is a challenging condition to manage, but with the right treatment, it’s possible to reduce symptoms and improve daily life quality. The Healthy Keto® diet, intermittent fasting, and natural remedies provide an excellent opportunity to complement OCD treatment and support overall health and wellbeing. If you’re considering incorporating any of these remedies into your treatment plan, speak to your doctor first to ensure they’re safe and effective for your individual needs.
