In support of the mission of FACES to improve the quality of life for those living with epilepsy and seizures, the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center offers a series of free lectures to the public to help educate patients and family members. Lectures are provided by doctors and other professionals affiliated with the CEC. All lectures are free, and anyone is welcome to attend the Peace of Mind lectures. If you wish to attend a lecture, please register online or call the FACES office. Registration for lectures will be available online once details for the lecture have been finalized. Online registration is currently available only for the upcoming lecture.
Please join us on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 from 6:30PM – 8:00PM for our Peace of Mind Lecture
Dietary Therapies for Epilepsy
This lecture will explore the different diets available for epilepsy. We will explore the process of initiation and therapy, the similarities and differences between the diets, side effects, how effective they are, and what you can and can’t eat on each diet. The diet therapy is not limited to children; adult patients are also very successful with controlling seizures on these diets.
Please note, this lecture is not a consultation, information will be provided on how to establish care with a doctor and registered dietitian to explore if dietary therapy for epilepsy is appropriate for you or your loved ones. This diet is a medical intervention and must only be done under the close supervision of a doctor and registered dietitian.
