We have the solution

It is commonly known that a diet can improve or prevent physical illnesses, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity. What is less widely understood is that nutrition can also have positive effects on mental illnesses such as depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. The key to success: A ketogenic diet.

What are ketones?

Ketones are molecules that your body produces when it breaks down fat for energy. This happens especially when you eat very few carbohydrates and your body doesn’t have enough sugar to produce energy. Your liver converts fat into ketones, which then serve as an alternative fuel for your cells.

Our app is built on clinical expertise and was developed in collaboration with nutrition therapists. Additionally, patients are asked to inform their treating physician with a pre-prepared email from us so that medications can be adjusted if needed.
