Training Therapists in Implementing Ketogenic Therapy with Nicole Laurent, LMHC

Therapists play a critical role in patient care with many tools available, such as CBT, talk therapy. And therapists can also be an essential part of the care team for patients implementing ketogenic therapy to treat mental illness. Nicole Laurent, LMHC, shares how she supports patients on their journeys, including helping them troubleshoot any issues and challenges that might arise and assisting them with strategies as they navigate newfound mental well-being.

As metabolic psychiatry is growing quickly, Nicole is working to fill the dire need for more mental health counselors trained in ketogenic therapies for mental illness. She provides an acclaimed National Board Certified course, Metabolic Psychiatry for Non-prescribers, to train therapists in using metabolic interventions for mental health.
