Course Description

Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy (KMT) can be a confusing and overwhelming topic, especially as we branch out into disease states other than epilepsy. This course will help you gain clarity on a variety of conditions impacted by KMT. You will learn how to screen candidates before initiating therapy while mastering the art and science of personalizing KMT. The course will give you the techniques and knowledge to manage difficult conditions through case reports as well as utilizing critical thinking skills for selecting appropriate supplements. Resources (including all PowerPoint slides) and patient/client handouts will be available for download (some for purchase) as well as access to quarterly live Q & A. Target audience: health care practitioners such as physicians, Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners.

This course is clearly 2 peoples life work as Denise and Beth’s knowledge on practical & theoretical medical ketogenic therapy is vast, but they are modest. The handouts and neatly organised references are worth the course alone. The live lectures always started and finished on time, with time for questions. I decided to do a 2.5:1 and 3:1 ketogenic diet on myself and use Ketodiet Calculator. I have turned away patients in the past as I was frightened due to ignorance and thought medical ketogenic diets were just for epileptic children. I didn’t realise there was a spectrum from modified Atkins, 1:1 up to 5:1 which all have different properties, especially when dealing with mental illness situations. This course is one of those “If had known this 5 yrs ago then ……”

As a registered dietitian with several years of experience working with ketogenic and low carb diets for diabetes and insulin-resistant conditions, I was very impressed with this advanced KMT course. Based on their vast collective experience, Beth and Denise provide detailed explanations and practical guidance for implementing KMT for a variety of health conditions in a safe, effective manner. In addition to the illuminating recorded sessions, there are several helpful reference and resources that can be downloaded at the end of each module. This advanced course builds on the excellent Foundational KMT course that I took in 2021. I highly recommend both courses to all dietitians and nutritionists who want to increase their knowledge, skills, and confidence in using ketogenic therapies from two masters in this field. Thank you, Beth and Denise!

Overall, the Advanced Keto Mastery Course provided a valuable extension to the basic course, offering deeper insights into disease-specific applications of the ketogenic diet. While there was overlap in some of the foundational content, the course's focus on more specialized topics made it a worthwhile investment. The psychiatric applications module, in particular, was a standout, providing a unique perspective on the role of nutrition in mental health. Whether you're a healthcare professional, researcher, or someone seeking to optimize their well-being, this course equips you with the knowledge and tools to navigate the ketogenic diet's advanced applications effectively.
