Course Description

This 10-hour course explores the metabolic challenges following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the therapeutic role of ketones. Scholars will study how glucose metabolism disruption and blood-brain barrier compromise contribute to neuroinflammation. Emphasis is placed on ketogenic diets, ketone supplementation, and their effects on brain energy, inflammation, and recovery. Practical protocols, dosing strategies, and clinical applications are included to support improved patient outcomes through nutritional neurotherapy.

What you’ll learn:

  • Understand the metabolic impact of TBI and how ketones serve as an alternative brain fuel.
  • Explore the mechanisms behind ketone production, supplementation, and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Apply ketogenic nutrition strategies to support brain healing post-injury.
  • Evaluate clinical protocols and biomarkers to monitor ketosis and metabolic recovery.
