How To Talk to Your Doctor About Keto for Mental Health – Part 1 of 2

If you're considering using therapeutic nutritional ketosis (also known as a ketogenic diet) to treat a mental disorder, it is extremely important to seek professional guidance from your treating clinicians. In this video, we explain the key points for discussing a keto diet with your physician. We highlight three of the top eight concerns clinicians may bring up if you ask about starting a keto diet to help manage your mental disorder (we review the remaining five in our next video).

In this video, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with Metabolic Psychiatry pioneers Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Ignacio Cuaranta to help you better understand how to safely use nutritional ketosis as a therapeutic intervention.
