This National Epilepsy Week, we’re raising awareness of ketogenic dietary therapies as a treatment option for adults living with drug-resistant epilepsy 💜
Around 1 in 3 people with epilepsy continue to experience seizures despite medication. For some adults, ketogenic dietary therapies can help reduce seizure frequency and improve quality of life when used under specialist clinical supervision.
At Matthew’s Friends, we support adults, families, and healthcare professionals with education, guidance, and practical support around ketogenic dietary therapies. While often associated with children, these evidence-based medical treatments can also play an important role in adult epilepsy care.
Awareness and access to ketogenic services for adults remain limited. This National Epilepsy Week, we’re advocating for greater understanding, better access to specialist support, and informed treatment choices for people living with drug-resistant epilepsy.

This National Epilepsy Week, we are raising awareness of ketogenic dietary therapies as an effective treatment option for some people living with drug-resistant epilepsy 💜
At Matthew's Friends, we support individuals, families, and healthcare professionals with education and guidance around ketogenic dietary therapies.
For many people whose seizures cannot be controlled with medication alone, these therapies can help reduce seizure frequency and, in some cases, lead to significant improvements in quality of life. Ketogenic dietary therapies are evidence-based medical treatments that should always be undertaken with specialist clinical support.
Drug-resistant epilepsy affects around 1 in 3 people with epilepsy, yet awareness of dietary therapy treatment options remains low. This National Epilepsy Week, we want to help change that by sharing information, supporting families, and advocating for greater access to ketogenic services.
