-
- Customized Nutrition Package – is exclusively for services not already described on the Intake and Service Option Form such as for design of a 3:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet to be used under medical supervision, or for specialized services for those with Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAS or MCAD), or some types of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).
1. 2:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet
A 2:1 Therapeutic Ketogenic Diet may be used as adjunct therapy (along with medication) for those with depression, anxiety disorder, and in some types of bipolar disorder, and for those seeking general improved mental health for those not taking medication.
The four services in this package are as follows;
1. Assessment visit to determine which foods can be used to build your therapeutic ketogenic diet, review of personal and family medical history, review of recent lab results, and current medications and nutritional supplements.
2. 2:1 Therapeutic Meal Plan design, including;
a) calculation of energy needs and precise therapeutic macros i.e. the specific amount of protein plus fat to carbohydrate required
b) Design of a three variations of a 2:1 ketogenic diet to provide variation in food intake. Turnaround time until the Meal Plan is ready is ~2 weeks from the completion of the clinical assessment (possibly longer, depending on complexity.)
c) preparation of the Meal Plan Summary Sheet for a 2:1 therapeutic ketogenic diet
Note: 2:1 Therapeutic Meal Plan design requires an additional hour of clinical time compared to routine Meal Plan design which is included in package cost.
3. Nutrition Education Session is the third service and teaches about the different categories of foods on the 2:1 ketogenic Meal Plan, serving sizes, and the number of portions to eat at each meal, food preparation methods and weighing portions, and the need for supplementing electrolytes.
4. Glucose & Ketone Tracking – The fourth service is an appointment will be to teach you to track both glucose and ketone levels, including different types of available monitors.
Please Note: If you are considering trying this type of approach and are currently taking any prescription medications, then the first step is to discuss this idea with your doctor. To better understand this service and to help you with that discussion, you can download this letter and download the Medical Supervision of Patient Form for your doctor to complete, then fax in to the office.
