Course Description
Traumatic Brain Injury can significantly disrupt the brain’s ability to generate and utilize energy efficiently. In this session, Mike Nelson explores how the Ketogenic Diet may influence brain metabolism following injury. Participants will examine how ketone bodies serve as an alternative energy source for neural tissue and how metabolic strategies may support recovery. The lecture reviews research investigating the potential benefits of ketogenic approaches in the context of brain injury. By understanding the relationship between metabolism and neurological function, clinicians can consider how dietary interventions may complement traditional rehabilitation strategies.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand metabolic changes associated with traumatic brain injury.
- Recognize how the ketogenic diet influences brain energy metabolism.
- Identify the role of ketones as an alternative fuel source.
- Explore research on dietary interventions for brain injury.
- Apply metabolic concepts to neurological rehabilitation strategies.
