🧬 Metabolic Therapy
Fueling your brain. Transforming your mind.
Metabolic Therapy (MT) is a science-based therapeutic approach that goes beyond diet alone. While it often incorporates a medically-informed ketogenic diet to improve brain energy metabolism, MT also includes a thorough assessment of your individual biochemistry. This means taking a detailed history of your symptoms and, when appropriate, running targeted tests to understand your brain chemistry, detect nutritional deficiencies, and identify genetic variations that may impact neurotransmitter synthesis.
Grounded in decades of clinical research, MT transforms how your body and brain use energy, shifting from glucose to ketones — a cleaner, more efficient fuel. This metabolic shift can stabilize mood, reduce inflammation, sharpen focus, and enhance overall mental well-being. Combined with the insights from your personalized assessment, it allows us to design a targeted plan to restore balance and optimize your mind.
🍳 What is Metabolic Therapy?
MT is more than a diet — it’s a metabolic intervention. By adopting a structured, high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate nutritional pattern, the body enters a state of ketosis, where it primarily uses ketones for fuel instead of glucose.
Why does this matter?
Because the brain thrives on ketones. Research has shown that ketones may enhance brain energy metabolism, reduce oxidative stress, and regulate neurotransmitter function — all of which are key in mental health and neurological conditions.
🧠 Advanced Training in Nutritional Psychiatry
Our clinical psychologist has been trained with Dr. Georgia Ede, a leading American psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of nutritional psychiatry. Dr. Ede is the author of the groundbreaking book “Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind”, which explores the use of ketogenic diets in the treatment of mental health conditions.
Bringing advanced expertise in metabolic and neurotransmitter imbalances, we design personalized protocols that combine targeted supplementation and therapeutic nutrition to support optimal brain function. Our approach focuses on restoring biochemical balance, helping individuals improve their mood, energy, focus, and emotional resilience through evidence-based, integrative care.
💡 Who Can Benefit from MT?
MT can be helpful in a wide range of emotional and neurological challenges, including:
-
Mood instability and emotional dysregulation
-
Anxiety and depression
-
ADHD and executive functioning challenges
-
Cognitive fog and poor concentration
-
Epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorders
-
Supportive care in neurodegenerative conditions (e.g. early Alzheimer’s)
MT is always personalized, adapted to your individual metabolic profile, needs, and therapeutic goals. It may be combined with psychotherapy, neurofeedback, or EMDR for a fully integrative healing journey.
