ketogenic therapy

Ketogenic therapy is a specialized diet that drastically reduces carbohydrate intake and increases fats, prompting the body to shift from using glucose (sugar) for energy to burning fats, producing ketones. This metabolic state, called ketosis, can help control seizures in some epilepsy patients who don't respond well to medications. By providing a high-fat, moderate-protein, low-carb diet, it alters brain activity and reduces seizure frequency. The approach requires careful planning and medical supervision to ensure nutritional balance and effectiveness.
