Patient Perspective—Managing Drug-Resistant Epilepsy with the Ketogenic Diet by Mr. Miles Sullivan

Mr. Miles Sullivan is now two years seizure-free after being diagnosed with drug-resistant epilepsy in 2015. His talk at #MHS2022 provided the full patient perspective on using the ketogenic diet alongside standard of care as he navigated a treacherous medical diagnosis. His words were inspiring and somber as he recounted his path of healing and the many challenges he faced - both mental and physical - along the way. After multiple surgeries and years of 5+ seizures everyday forcing him to stop pursuing higher education, Mr. Sullivan took a chance on the ketogenic diet. Soon after, he began to experience relief from his seizures and accompanying symptoms. With the progress he saw from the ketogenic diet, Mr. Sullivan also started to incorporate other metabolically supportive routines including fasting, exercising, and going back to the basics of getting adequate sleep. Although no longer suffering from recurrent seizures, Mr. Sullivan boldly shared that he continues to overcome post traumatic stress disorder, and he is not alone, “on top of a nutritional epidemic. We are facing a mental health crisis as well.” Mr. Sullivan’s encouraging message is that “I am still here because of acts of kindness. Because people showed me compassion at my breaking point.” We recorded all of the amazing content from Metabolic Health Summit 2022, and it’s now available on our virtual platform for you to watch and enjoy!
