Finding Inspiration in Others’ Stories

Transitioning to a medical ketogenic diet can be difficult, hard, and even a little scary. Hearing from others who have gone through a similar experience may provide some comfort and ease.

These stories are from parents of children and adults with epilepsy, who have seen their quality of life and seizures improve since starting the medical ketogenic diet.

“Don’t let anyone tell you the ketogenic diet for epilepsy is too hard.”
