In this episode of the Metabolic Link podcast, we are joined by Beth Zupec-Kania, an experienced dietitian and nutritionist with over 30 years in the field of ketogenic metabolic therapy. Beth has played a pivotal role in the development and implementation of ketogenic diets for the treatment of epilepsy, and her work has expanded to include a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions, including anorexia nervosa, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

Beth’s expertise is shaped by years of practical experience and her involvement with The Charlie Foundation, where she helped pioneer the use of ketogenic metabolic therapy in clinical settings. In this episode, we explore how this therapy has evolved from a treatment for refractory epilepsy to a promising option for mental health conditions and other complex disorders.

We discuss the latest evidence supporting ketogenic therapy, its application in clinical practice, and the challenges healthcare providers face in integrating these therapies into standard care. Beth also shares her insights into the future of metabolic therapies in healthcare, highlighting the growing need for education and clinical expertise in this transformative area.

If you’re a medical professional interested in understanding how ketogenic metabolic therapies can improve patient outcomes across a range of conditions, this episode is a must-listen.
