About the webinar:

Far from a trend or short-term dietary reset, ketogenic metabolic therapy (KMT) is medical nutrition therapy, often paired with clinical oversight, monitoring, and individualized protocols. And it’s drawing growing clinical and research attention as an adjunctive approach to mental health care.

Why this matters for dietitians:

Nearly 1.2 billion people worldwide live with a mental health condition or disorder, with prevalence of depression and anxiety growing year over year. Many are already in your office, unsure what is right for them and unaware you can support them with tailored and individualized nutrition. As research expands, a developing consensus places dietitians at the center of safe and appropriate KMT implementation.

After this session, attendees will be able to:

  • Explain the clinical rationale and current evidence supporting ketogenic metabolic therapy for mental health conditions
  • Understand the proposed metabolic mechanisms underlying ketogenic therapy’s use in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia
  • Identify variations of ketogenic therapy and strategies for safe, collaborative implementation in mental health care, including recommendations from the modified Delphi consensus
  • Analyze case studies to evaluate the clinical application and outcomes of ketogenic metabolic therapy in mental health care
