Is a ketogenic diet an effective, affordable, and sustainable solution for long-term metabolic health?
A new publication looking at the real-world implementation of ketogenic therapy challenges the misconception that a ketogenic diet is unsustainable or too expensive. 82% of participants maintained the diet for an entire year, improving their health while saving an average of $1,700 per person by reducing the need for medications by an average of nearly 2 medications per patient.
Beyond cost savings, participants lost an average of 43 pounds in one year—results that match or exceed those of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy.
At Metabolic Mind, one of our key missions is to increase payor coverage of metabolic therapies, ensuring that cost-effective interventions like ketogenic therapy are accessible to those who need them most. Studies like this one reinforce the idea that ketogenic therapy, with the right support, is a practical, effective, and cost-saving approach to metabolic health.
