Ketogenic Therapy Assessment

The Ketogenic Therapy Assessment is a focused evaluation for individuals interested in ketogenic metabolic therapy as part of their mental health treatment. Unlike our comprehensive multidisciplinary assessments, which evaluate the full range of factors contributing to your symptoms and all appropriate treatment options, this assessment focuses specifically on determining whether ketogenic therapy is appropriate, safe, and likely to benefit you.

Your evaluation includes a review of your medical and psychiatric history, current treatments, metabolic health, nutrition, laboratory findings, and body composition to develop personalized recommendations for safely implementing ketogenic therapy when appropriate.

What to Expect During Your Assessment

During your Ketogenic Therapy Assessment, you will complete pre-assessment questionnaires and meet with one of our psychiatric nurse practitioners and a registered dietitian specializing in ketogenic metabolic therapy. Together, they will review your psychiatric and medical history, current treatments, nutrition, metabolic health, and readiness for ketogenic therapy.

Expanded laboratory testing, ketogenic-specific biomarkers, standard biometrics, and DXA body composition analysis provide additional information about your metabolic health and help determine whether ketogenic therapy is appropriate and how it can be implemented safely.
