Here is an iterative provider list of clinicians who represent themselves as low-carb, ketogenic or pro intermittent fasting in their practice. We want to help you find clinicians in your area, but we are not a certifying body or a licensing agency. So we cannot endorse the quality of care a clinician will provide. Patient beware. You must use your judgement before you engage any service listed here. Always check for relevant licensing and/or certification.

There are many different versions of the ketogenic diet. If you are on prescription medications or have a medical condition then please work with a competent clinician because dangerous adverse events can occur. Your ketogenic therapy treatment team can tailor your treatment to your healthcare needs and lifestyle.

Do I care if the practitioner is licensed or certified?

Countries and states have their own licensing of health care providers and who may practice what where. Doctors and registered dietitians are typically licensed while nutritionists are not. Some of these regulatory restrictions have relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
