"ketosis" vs "deep ketosis"

Sources:

“Deep ketosis” is used here to mean a higher blood-ketone level—not a separately defined state. For clinical targets, Chris Palmer said he generally aims for above 0.8 mmol/L for depression and above 1.5 mmol/L for psychotic or bipolar disorders, depending on the patient and treatment goal.

So, in this discussion, “ketosis” is the general state, while “deep ketosis” informally suggests reaching higher ketone levels; the transcript does not give a universal threshold for “deep ketosis.”
