Ketogenic metabolic therapy for mental health

You may be exploring a ketogenic diet because your mental health or cognitive symptoms have not improved enough with the approaches you have tried. This site will help you learn about ketogenic metabolic therapy and find support for putting it into practice.

I’m Nicole Laurent, a licensed mental health counselor. My Brain Fog Recovery Program provides education and support for people ready to use ketogenic metabolic therapy.

Learn how to make metabolic therapy part of your life

Knowing that an approach exists is different from knowing how to use it. Changing what you eat can bring practical questions and emotional challenges, especially when you are already dealing with persistent symptoms.

The Brain Fog Recovery Program is my online education and support program for people ready to implement ketogenic metabolic therapy and related nutrition and lifestyle changes. You work through the lessons at your own pace and bring your questions to live group Q&A sessions. Individualized dietary guidance and a private community help you put the learning into practice.

My background in behavioral and cognitive-behavioral therapies informs how I help people make changes they can continue. You remain connected with your own healthcare providers for medical oversight and medication decisions.

The program page includes an on-demand masterclass and information about applying for enrollment.

If cost is a barrier, learn about reduced-fee and no-fee access through the nonprofit. This is a separate application pathway.


For mental health professionals and research teams

Training for clinical practice

If you are a psychotherapist or other mental health professional, explore training on the evidence and clinical implications of ketogenic metabolic therapy. My teaching addresses the practical work of supporting clients, professional responsibilities, and collaboration with medical and nutrition providers.

Explore professional training and resources.

Research and clinical design consultation

I work with research teams and metabolic psychiatry practices on the design and implementation of psychiatric ketogenic metabolic therapy. Consultation brings clinical and behavioral expertise to questions about how an intervention is delivered and how participants are supported.

Learn about research and clinical design consultation.


Making access possible

I founded Brain Fog Recovery Source, a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to help people on disability or with low income access education and support for ketogenic metabolic therapy. Eligible participants receive access to the same program education and support through a separate nonprofit pathway.
