Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy in Mental Health: What’s Real, What’s Misunderstood, and What Clinicians Should Know

Ketogenic metabolic therapy is gaining attention in mental health care, yet its use is often limited by persistent myths and misinformation. In this session, Accord’s Nutrition Program Manager, Meghan Stein, RDN, will examine common concerns related to sustainability, dietary fat intake, safety, and early side effects, and contrast them with evidence-informed clinical realities. Drawing from current research and real-world clinical experience, the presentation will clarify how ketogenic therapy differs from popular weight-loss diets and how it can be thoughtfully implemented under appropriate clinical supervision.

This on-demand presentation aims to strengthen clinicians’ understanding of ketogenic metabolic therapy by examining common myths, safety considerations, and practical applications in mental health care. Participants will be better prepared to evaluate appropriateness and discuss this intervention with patients and interdisciplinary teams.
