KETOMIT

For more than a hundred years, the ketogenic diet has been used in the comprehensive treatment of severe diseases, including psychoneurological, immunological, and oncological conditions.

The core therapeutic strategy for treating chronic diseases is always focused on combating the inflammatory process. Addressing chronic inflammation must be consistent and include comprehensive antigenic offloading alongside parallel metabolic, mitochondrial, and hormonal support.

However, an elimination diet is mandatory as the foundation of anti-inflammatory treatment. An elimination diet is a nutrition plan that excludes foods that trigger the immune system. There are various elimination protocol options developed for treating different diseases, but one of the most effective is the ketogenic diet.

The ketogenic diet involves reducing carbohydrate intake while simultaneously increasing fat consumption.

Introductory part about the KETO-MIT rehabilitation program

• Psychoneurological disorders;
• Neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases;
• Neonatal cerebral hypoxia, ischemia-reperfusion conditions;
• Diabetes mellitus;

Due to its powerful anti-inflammatory effect and stabilization of energy metabolism, the keto diet becomes fundamental both in the therapy of various diseases and as the basis of a healthy lifestyle.

To learn more about the keto diet in the treatment and prevention of various diseases, we recommend reviewing the series of lectures by the head of the clinic, the founder of the application of the keto diet in neurology and oncology, Professor Generalov Vasily Olegovich: "Ketogenic diet as an integral part of metabolic and mitochondrial therapy for severe neurological and somatic diseases"

Nevertheless, switching to a ketogenic diet is not simply changing a list of food products; it is a therapeutic process that requires a preliminary examination, selection of the optimal diet option, and controlled entry into a state of ketosis — the main therapeutic state characterized by an increase in necessary ketone bodies.

For a fast and effective entry into ketosis, strict adherence to calorie intake and the ratio of nutrients in consumed food, a strict ban on additional unprescribed meals, metabolic, enzymatic, and mitochondrial support, as well as monitoring of clinical and laboratory parameters are required.

Transferring severe, somatically weakened patients, as well as pediatric patients, to a ketogenic diet must be performed under the supervision of the attending physician. The KETO-MIT rehabilitation program includes the comprehensive work of a team of specialists.

How preparation and rehabilitation under the KETO-MIT program are carried out

First stage:

Often, preliminary and preparatory work with the attending physician begins in an outpatient setting (during in-person or remote consultations). On an outpatient basis, the patient is transferred to a low-carbohydrate diet (the basic component of elimination), most often with the parallel exclusion of casein- and gluten-containing foods.

Before starting rehabilitation, a laboratory examination is required, which is selected individually depending on the disease and characteristics of each patient.

Mandatory list of examinations:

1. Main biochemical tests:

• Complete blood count with differential and ESR;
• Blood chemistry panel (glucose, insulin, C-peptide, bilirubin, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, amylase, LDH, alkaline phosphatase, protein fractions, blood lactate, ALT, AST, urea, creatinine);
• Glycated hemoglobin; leptin;
• Circulating immune complexes (total, large, medium, small);
• TSH, T3, T4, anti-TPO antibodies, anti-TG antibodies, anti-TSH receptor antibodies;
• Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), IgE, IgA, IgM, IgG total;
• Antistreptolysin O (ASLO);
• TNF-alpha, C-reactive protein, rheumatoid factor;
• Eli-Viscero-Test, Neurotest;
• Urinalysis;
• Antinuclear factor (ANF); ANA immunoblot;
• Calprotectin;
• Comprehensive coagulation profile.

2. Metabolic studies*:

• Blood amino acid profile (48 indicators);
• Urinary organic acids (60 indicators).

* Metabolic studies must be no older than 3 months, all others — no older than 1 month from the date of the laboratory test.

!Please note that each test is performed within a timeframe determined by the laboratory, ranging from 24 hours to 14–20 days.

After agreeing on the rehabilitation program with the attending physician, the date and time of the clinic visit are determined.

Second stage

In accordance with the scheduled date, the patient arrives at the clinic. In the KETO-MIT rehabilitation program, special emphasis is placed on patient nutrition and mitochondrial support, which is why the program includes:

• Selection of an individual nutrition plan, keto diet option, and additional treatment depending on the clinical situation;
• Daily three meals a day for the patient;
• Guidance and training in keto nutrition by a specialist technologist, along with recommendations to maintain an optimal level of ketosis;
• The entire treatment and rehabilitation process is conducted under the supervision of the clinic's specialists;
• Regular monitoring of ketone levels;
• Interval hypoxia therapy;
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Third stage:

After reaching the optimal level of ketosis for the patient and receiving recommendations, discharge takes place. While on post-outpatient care, the patient remains in touch with the attending physician, monitoring ketone levels and several other laboratory parameters that are agreed upon individually.
