Today, I review, link to, and excerpt from Metabolic Mind‘s “Training And Education” For Ketogenic And Metabolic Therapies.
All that follows is from the above resource.
Training & Education
Whether you’re a clinician seeking to offer ketogenic and metabolic therapies–or a curious patient, family member, or citizen scientist–Metabolic Mind can help. We consolidate courses offered to clinicians and individuals in metabolic psychiatry, ketogenic therapy, and metabolic health, and offer a platform to our partners for free CME creation and distribution.
Free Continuing Medical Education (CME) Courses
We are committed to expanding the number of clinicians who are trained to help individuals navigate ketogenic and metabolic therapies for brain health. We partner with leading clinicians and researchers to create new free continuing medical education (CME) courses offered on platforms like MyCME–with certifications to meet annual education requirements. Baszucki Group’s free continuing medical education courses have been taken by over 3,000 learners to date. More courses are in development and will be coming online soon. Reach out to us if there are topics not yet covered that you’d like to learn more about.

diagnosis: Diet – Dr. Georgia Ede teaches the Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health Clinician Training Course
It is likely that Dr. Ede’s excellent book, Change Your Diet Change Your Mind covers the same material.
Tuition for this 5-module Ketogenic Diets for Mental Health clinician training program, including 100+ pages of supplementary materials is $750 (US). Optional live 90-min Q&A discussion groups for clinicians who have completed the training are $60 (US).
Public interest in ketogenic diets for the management of psychiatric conditions is growing rapidly, but there are precious few mental health professionals prepared to meet the demand for these specialized clinical services. While ketogenic diets have the potential to revolutionize psychiatric care, their use can pose unique challenges in the context of mental health conditions such as eating disorders, bipolar mood conditions, and food addiction, and when combined with psychiatric medications. This curriculum was created to prepare clinicians to anticipate and safely manage these unique challenges.
