**Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Nutrition** Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health presents the most up-to-date and evidence-based science and research available in the field of TCR, with the purpose of training medical and allied healthcare professionals on the effective therapeutic use of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic nutrition in clinical practice. This book explores the appropriate, safe, and effective use of TCR to improve patient outcomes in a broad range of chronic metabolic conditions and aims to promote health. Focused on lifestyle management, health support and the treatment of diseases rooted in poor nutrition, this book explores the role of food and lifestyle modification as medicine and is a valuable resource for nutritionists, dietitians and medical professionals who provide diet-related counselling, as well as those researching or studying related areas.

"...an indispensable textbook for all healthcare professionals involved in providing evidence-based nutritional advice and lifestyle help to patients…Ketogenic is a model of clarity with well-presented arguments leading to logical conclusions, and all tempered with an awareness that TCR does not only have practical application for improving the health of patients but shows how healthy dietary goals for all can be achieved – and maintained – in a life-enhancing and life-prolonging manner." --Practice Nursing "The purpose of the text is to further solidify the current science and evidence behind the use of carbohydrate restriction in general health and chronic conditions. It is an appropriate objective for a book, but the authors do not necessarily concede that their ideation and approach is one of many successful choices that an individual can make. The book is broken down into four parts that cover nutrition fundamentals, medical nutrition therapy, therapeutic carbohydrate restriction for health and fitness, and managing the patient.... For practicing health professionals, this could be an interesting read,... one of many nutrition options that have been successful in health and disease." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Amy Hess Fischl, MS RDN LDN BC-ADM CDCES (University of Chicago Medical Center)
