ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
This episode focuses on the ketogenic diet as a treatment for epilepsy, particularly drug-resistant epilepsy. We explore what medical ketogenic diet therapy is, how it works and what starting and following the diet can look like.
We also hear from a parent about her family’s experience and the difference the diet made to their lives.
