What’s metabolism got to do with it? An innovative approach to reduce seizures and possibly mitigate premature mortality

Today, our best strategy to reduce SUDEP risk is to reduce seizures. Metabolic therapies are some of the earliest documented methods to effectively reduce seizures, but their use fell by the wayside with anti-seizure medications. Are metabolic therapies safe? Are they better than medication? How do metabolic therapies work? Join PAME and our moderator Dr. Kristina Simeone for a conversation about the mysteries and mechanisms surrounding metabolic therapies. Our two guest speakers are Dawn Martenz, a mom who will share her experiences using metabolic therapies for over a decade to treat her daughter with Dravet Syndrome, and Dr. Jeff Buchhalter, a physician-scientist who will share his experiences treating and studying metabolic therapies in the clinic.
