Ketogenic Interventions

Meaning

Ketogenic Interventions describe therapeutic or dietary strategies designed to shift the body’s primary metabolic fuel source from glucose to fat, resulting in the production of ketone bodies, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate. These interventions typically involve a high intake of fat, moderate protein, and severe restriction of carbohydrate intake. Clinically, they are utilized to manage specific neurological disorders, optimize body composition, and enhance insulin sensitivity by inducing a state of nutritional ketosis. Careful monitoring is necessary to ensure metabolic parameters remain within safe and effective clinical ranges.
