Ketogenic Therapy for Mental Health
Specialized counseling that integrates therapeutic ketogenic nutrition with mental health support in collaboration with your medical team.
Why Metabolic Support for Mental Health?
A growing body of research is examining the role of metabolic approaches (such as ketogenic nutrition) in supporting mental health, particularly for people who have not found sufficient relief through conventional treatments alone. Recent studies and clinical experience suggest that supporting brain energy metabolism may offer meaningful benefits for individuals.
Ketones are an alternative fuel source your body produces when it burns fat for energy instead of relying primarily on carbohydrates. The brain can readily use ketones for energy, and emerging research suggests this shift may support more stable brain energy metabolism, reduce inflammation, and help improve symptoms for some people with mental health conditions.
This program is designed to bring that emerging knowledge into real-world practice in a careful, collaborative, and client-centered way.
Who This Is For
This program is designed for adults in the Spokane area (and Washington State and New Hampshire by telehealth) who are seeking additional support for mental health challenges and are interested in exploring a therapeutic ketogenic diet as part of their care.
It may be a good fit if you:
Are living with mental health concerns and/or physical signs of metabolic dysfunction, such as
Depression, bipolar, anxiety, OCD, schizophrenia, addiction, ADHD
High blood sugar, insulin resistance, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, inflammation, hormone imbalance
Cognitive impairment such as brain fog or memory loss
Have found limited relief from standard treatments alone
Are open to making meaningful dietary changes with professional guidance
Prefer a collaborative approach that works alongside your existing medical or psychiatric care
This is not a replacement for medical or psychiatric treatment. It is specialized nutrition support & counseling designed to complement the care you already receive.
A Collaborative, Evidence-Informed Approach
Elizabeth Saviteer, MS, CN, LMHC
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Nutritionist, I combine specialized guidance in therapeutic ketogenic nutrition with counseling for health behavior change.
My role is to support you in implementing and sustaining a ketogenic diet while addressing the emotional, behavioral, and practical aspects of change. I work in close coordination with your physician or psychiatrist, who retains full responsibility for medical oversight, laboratory monitoring, and medication management.
This integrated model allows you to explore an emerging area of metabolic support for mental health in a structured, responsible, and well-supported way.
