Ketogenic Diet Indications In Psychiatry and Neurology
Course Description
The Ketogenic diet has been getting a lot of buzz lately. When you unpack the research, it’s not only effective for weight loss and seizure disorders. There is a small, but increasing body of evidence to support the Ketogenic diet for other conditions such as mental health disorders.
In this course, you’ll learn from an Integrative Gastroenterologist about how the Ketogenic diet alters the microbiome, the biochemistry of entering ketosis versus glycolysis, how to guide a patient who is considering the Ketogenic diet, risk factors associated with being in ketosis, and other considerations to keep in mind. You’ll also learn about the difference between a “dirty” and “clean” ketogenic diet, and how to help patients stay clear of foods that may ultimately be harmful.
The efficacy of the Ketogenic diet has been studied in ADHD, ASD, Anxiety/Depression, Bipolar disorder, Alzheimer’s, and Schizophrenia. This course will help you select patients who might benefit from the Ketogenic diet as a metabolic intervention.
Learning Objectives
- Learn to recognize ketosis versus glycolysis: the physiology
- Understand the dietary elements of the Ketogenic Diet
- Discover how to apply the ketogenic diet for appropriate psychiatric indications
