We’re launching a new way to connect as a community—real talk, shared experiences, and support from families who get it.

These roundtable sessions are for families, hosted by 1–2 Keto Hope support family alumni, and designed to feel more like a podcast-style chat than a presentation. Think: honest conversation, practical tips, and space for you to chime in with your own stories, questions, and ideas.

🎙 First Topic:
“What to Do When Your Child Is Sick on Keto”
Because sick days can feel overwhelming, and no one should navigate them alone.

📅 March 4
⏰ 8:00 PM ET
📍 Live + interactive on zoom

Whether you’re brand new to keto or have been walking this road for years, your voice matters here. Come listen, share, or just sit quietly and feel supported. 💜

✨ Important note: These conversations are for peer support only. We won’t be providing medical advice—just sharing personal experiences and lessons learned. Always check with your child’s medical and keto care team for guidance specific to your situation.

Our Story

Our story began in 2014 when our daughter Rosemary was diagnosed with a rare form of epilepsy at four months old and we watched as medications failed to control her seizures. Working with our doctors we soon met Laura Dority, a registered dietitian, who introduced us to the the ketogenic diet as a treatment option. We started Rosemary on the diet and were amazed when her seizures were completely controlled within weeks. She has remained seizure free ever since! The success we experienced on the ketogenic diet inspired us to team up with Laura and form the Keto Hope Foundation. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to families with children on the ketogenic diet as a treatment option for pediatric epilepsy. We are committed to advancing the success of the ketogenic diet by supporting families, expanding nutritional options, and providing educational opportunities to healthcare professionals and families alike. Let us know if we can help you!
