Neurology: Keto for Migraines, Epilepsy and Alzheimer's Disease
Your patients with migraines, epilepsy, dementia and mood disorders are already asking about ketogenic therapy. This training gives you the physiology, the evidence and the clinical steps to answer them properly.
Accredited by The CPD Standards Office · Reviewed by the Nutrition Network Medical Advisory Board
You're seeing these patients already
Most clinical training covers neurological conditions through a drug-first lens. Nutrition gets a line or two, if that. So when these conversations come up, you're left guessing.
A migraine patient on their fourth preventive
They've tried the medication list. They're still losing days every month, and they want to know if food has anything to do with it.
A family asking about keto for epilepsy
They've read about it online and want your guidance. You know it's used clinically, but you're not sure how to set it up or support them.
A worried spouse after a dementia diagnosis
They ask what they can do at home. Without the metabolic side of cognitive decline, there's not a lot you can offer beyond the standard advice.
Mood and mental health that won't shift
Anxiety, low mood, poor stress tolerance. You suspect diet plays a part, but there's no clear framework in your training to act on it.
None of these are rare cases. They walk into practices every week. The question is whether you've got something useful to say when they do.
Neurology, looked at through metabolism
This isn't a diet course with a brain chapter tacked on. It's taught by doctors, dietitians and researchers who work in this field, alongside two personal perspectives from people who've lived it.
The brain is an energy problem
Several lectures look at Alzheimer's as an energy crisis in the brain, often called "type 3 diabetes", and at migraine through a metabolic lens. That changes what you can do about it.
Evidence you can defend
You'll go through the physiology and the research, with reference lists for every lecture, so you can back up what you recommend to patients and colleagues.
Built for the clinic
Practical implementation guidance for therapeutic carbohydrate restriction (TCR), plus patient education resources you can use in your own practice.
Five clinical areas. One metabolic thread.
Each section pairs the science with what it looks like in practice, so you finish knowing what to do, not just what the studies say.
Migraines
The evidence, the physiology and genetics, and the metabolic connection behind migraine.
Alzheimer's & Dementia
Alzheimer's as "type 3 diabetes": the brain's energy crisis and how to fuel it.
Epilepsy
Ketogenic therapy for epilepsy, and how to prepare a whole family for keto.
Mood & Mind
Metabolic psychiatry, stress adaptation, and the link between food and mood.
Food Addiction
The neurophysiology of processed food addiction and what it means for your patients.
18 lectures across 5 clinical areas
15 core lectures plus 3 bonus interviews. Almost 10 hours of teaching, broken into sessions you can fit around a clinic day.

From unsure to prepared
Before the training
- You refer out or fall back on the medication list
- Keto for epilepsy feels like specialist territory
- Dementia conversations end at "there's no cure"
- You're unsure which papers to trust
- Patients bring you internet advice you can't assess
After the training
- You can explain the metabolic side of the condition
- You know how ketogenic therapy is set up and supported
- You can talk about brain energy and practical next steps
- You've got reference lists for every topic
- You have patient resources to hand over

What practitioners say
Outstanding and I have no idea why I waited so long to pluck up the courage to tackle the neurology lectures as each and every lecturer made it easy.
Thank you so much for a highly educational course which can help us make a difference and add value to other people's lives, especially the ones who are suffering from this devastating metabolic disease.
Really enjoy gaining and sharing the knowledge. The programmes are very practical so I am able to apply it to my family and friends. I have seen a dramatic improvement in my personal health since I joined NUTRITION NETWORK
