Grain Brain, Seizure Free On A Ketogenic Diet
In this testimonial, Michelle recounts her lifelong battle with partial complex epilepsy, diagnosed at age six, and the countless medications and doctors she consulted over two decades, which only reduced her seizures to occurring every six to eight weeks. Despite earning a college degree, marrying, and raising two children, each seizure reminded her of her limitations. After reading Dr. David Perlmutter’s book Grain Brain and meeting him, she was prescribed a ketogenic diet. Following the diet, Michelle has been seizure‑free for over four months—the first such period in more than 20 years—allowing her to consider new life goals such as obtaining a driver’s license and being more present for her family. She concludes by urging other seizure sufferers to have the opportunity to try this low‑risk, diet‑based treatment.
