Ketogenic Diet Insights

Food elimination isn't a sustainable long-term solution for epilepsy, as seizures often return once normal eating resumes.

Decades of research reveal that this diet impacts neurotransmitter levels, gene expression, and even the gut microbiome, offering hope for those with treatment-resistant epilepsy.
