NOTE: We provide specialized nutrition services for adults using therapeutic ketogenic diets (3:1 or 2:1 ratio) as an adjunct treatment under medical oversight. These diets are structured, clinically indicated protocols designed to support specific health goals in collaboration with a medical provider. Implementation requires careful planning, individualized monitoring, and collaboration with a physician (GP) or, in some cases, a psychiatrist for laboratory monitoring and medication review. Services are not intended to replace medical or mental health care. Clients must have an established relationship with a medical provider who agrees to oversee relevant health parameters throughout the program.

 

Therapeutic Diet Services

We currently offer different types of Therapeutic Diet Services, including

  • 3:1 therapeutic ketogenic diet
  • 2:1 therapeutic ketogenic diet
  • specialized support for those with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome – hypermobility subtype (hEDS), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

1. Therapeutic Ketogenic Diets

Therapeutic ketogenic diets are a type of medical nutrition therapy (also known as ketogenic diet therapy, or ketogenic metabolic therapy) used as adjunct therapy for specific physical and mental health conditions, implemented with medical oversight.

Note: These diets do not “reverse” or “cure” but, along with other treatments, can help put symptoms into remission. This article, written in relation to type 2 diabetes, explains the distinction between reversing or curing a disease and achieving remission. 

A therapeutic ketogenic diet is;

  • very different from a keto diet for weight loss, and improved metabolic health
  • very different from a keto diet followed for therapeutic purposes

To understand what a therapeutic ketogenic diet is before requesting services, we recommend reading the article “A Keto Diet and a Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet are Very Different.“

3:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet

A 3:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet is used as adjunct treatment in specific physical conditions (epilepsy, seizure disorder, glioblastoma, gliosarcoma), as well as specific mental health conditions, under a doctor’s supervision.

Note: If you are considering triating a 3:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet for mental health purposes, the first step is to discuss this with your doctor. Please download the Medical Supervision of Patient Form for your doctor to complete and then fax it to the office.
There is no set package for the 3:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet. 
 
For those seeking to adopt this diet as an adjunct treatment in glioblastoma or gliosarcoma, getting started with an Initial Consultation will enable us to discuss the timeframe required for design, teaching, and implementation of this diet relative to chemo and radiation. Every effort will be made to book appointments as quickly as possible. 
 

2:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet

A 2:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet may be implemented as adjunct therapy (along with medication) and under medical supervision for depression, anxiety disorders, and some types of bipolar disorder.

This type of diet may also be followed by those seeking overall improved mental health and who are not taking any prescription medications.

Due to the exacting nature of a 2:1 therapeutic ketogenic diet, we do not provide services to adjust a self-directed keto diet.
