Welcome to the new online Ketotraining section of Matthew’s Friends.

How should ketogenic diet centers be trained? There is no single correct answer to this question, but it’s an important issue as more people worldwide need this important treatment. As a ketogenic diet community, we believe that nutritionists and doctors should be educated with the best available information and resources. Recognizing that not all ketogenic diet centers have either the funds to travel, or to pay people to come to them, these training videos are meant to be a source of basic information to be used by professionals learning about the ketogenic diet and are primarily intended for those most resource strapped areas of the world. They were filmed during the 2017 KetoCollege and extensively reviewed and revised since then.
The vision for online training modules first occurred in 2014 through the International League Against Epilepsy’s Task Force on Dietary Therapies, which I had the honor of chairing for 3 years. Unfortunately, it was not funded by this organization, so, as is often the case, Ms. Emma Williams and Matthew’s Friends stepped up with the funding for the incredible project you are about to view by way of fundraising, donations and grant applications. It would not have been possible without their work and dedication to the field of Ketogenic Dietary Therapies, together with the filming expertise of Red Goat Productions. We also want thank Vitaflo for their educational grant towards this project. These films will continue to be reviewed and revised as time goes on and hopefully subtitles added in various languages (subject to further funding).
On behalf of myself, Emma Williams, Helen Cross, and the entire group of dedicated ketogenic diet professionals who helped create these videos, we hope you enjoy them, learn all about how dietary therapies can be life-changing, and use them in your future practice.
We are here to help.
Best wishes.
