Continue your professional development with our Exploring the ketogenic diet: Can it ever be optimal? course
The ketogenic diet gets a lot of attention among health and wellness professionals, and there is a lot of confusion about what it really means and whether it’s really healthy. How do we, as health professionals, sort the fact from the fad? In this one-day deep dive you will learn exactly what conditions are needed for ketogenesis and its precise role in supporting metabolic flexibility. We’ll look at sensible strategies and key caveats for personalisation, to give you the confidence to construct and monitor personalised programmes that promote the positive aspects of ketosis while providing optimal support for other body systems.
The course will examine the ways in which the ketogenic diet may be useful in your clinical practice. We will study the underlying biochemistry to understand the mechanisms activated by the ketosis, together with its impact on the genome and microbiome, and explore ways to tailor it to your client’s specific health requirements.
