KETO PROGRAM
We also offer a ketogenic diet program as a paid add-on for practices. The program is based off the standard program and still includes 30 days of gut repair followed by detoxification, however the dietary transitions are aimed at helping members get into ketosis and then maintain a keto diet as a long-term health strategy. Additional education surrounding the ketogenic diet is included in program modules and the meal plans and recipes have been adapted to work with the keto diet.

KETO SUPPLEMENT PROTOCOLS
Our keto program uses the same supplement protocol as our regular programs, except that we recommend you consider providing an exogenous ketone supplement of your choosing to aid the practice member in reaching nutritional ketosis. Metagenics and Keto Perfect are two companies that provide excellent exogenous ketone supplements, but there are many others available. The 60 day protocol serves as the first 60 days for the 3, 4 and 6 month keto programs. After 60 days, any supplements given are customized by the practice. The keto program can also be done in a non-supplement format.
KETO COACHING CHECKLISTS
As with the standard program, coaching calls are integrated with the program. The coaching checklists provide a template for what should be discussed in each coaching call and the timing in which it should take place. These coaching calls provide important touchpoints to members and value to the program, without consuming in-office appointment times.
