Nutrition for Anixiety disorder ( Panic attacks)

In your EP with Dr. Chris Palmer, he explains how Keto diet can help with many mental health issue but it was not clear if this is true for GAD and panic attacks. Could you provide confirmation and also provide detailed protocols or resources including a list of mental health professionals we could contact and work with online. I live in Thailand and there are no clinicians here providing support of these protocols; this could be a life savings strategies. I know many people with GAD and resulting depression who could benefits from this. I, myself, have suffered from and struggled with GAD and panic attacks for 20 years and I have tried it all: medication, meditation, Yoga, supplements, exercise, breathing methods! All these provide temporary relief however, no long term success. Thank you SO much for your Podcast and for renewing our interest in science.
