At least 30% of the population that experiences seizures doesn’t respond to medications or alternative practices. I know, my son was one of them. He responded to the functional approach to health and I’m confident you can too.
Many of my clients come to me experiencing seizures, of all types, and want them to stop. The problem is, no one has taken the time to identify their underlying nutritional deficiencies, how the detoxification pathways are performing, the health of the digestive system (referred to as their second brain) or to investigate potential underlying infections and food sensitivities which are often issues too. I do all of that test and leave no stone unturned. That’s why many of my clients quickly start to feel a lot better with improved energy which is often depleted, not to mention an immediate reduction or even elimination of seizures.
Be sure to read my Ebooks, join me in webinars and join the Nutrition for Seizures Facebook community. Please also watch my recorded webinars. They offer loads of information on the functional approach to seizures. I also offer a 30 minute free consult and look forward to meeting you.
When “Good” Nutrients Backfire: Why Introducing B6, B12, and Folate Too Early Can Worsen Neurological Symptoms
In functional nutrition, we often see lab results showing deficiencies in vitamin B6, B12, and folate (B9). Naturally, the instinct is to replace them quickly. However, in my practice, I’ve repeatedly observed that introducing these nutrients too early—especially in...
read moreWhen CBD Doesn’t Work: Looking Beyond the Endocannabinoid System
CBD (cannabidiol) has become a popular tool for supporting neurological symptoms—especially seizures, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation. It works primarily by influencing the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps regulate mood, inflammation, and brain...
read moreNot Just Pediatric: When Cerebral Folate Deficiency Appears Later in Life
Cerebral folate deficiency (CFD) is traditionally thought of as a childhood-onset condition, yet emerging evidence highlights that it can present later in life and may be overlooked in adults with worsening seizures. A case presented at the American Epilepsy Society...

Why I Say “Nutrition for Seizures” — Not “Nutrition for Epilepsy” People often ask why I refer to my practice as Nutrition for Seizures instead of Nutrition for Epilepsy. The distinction is intentional — and deeply meaningful. A seizure is a symptom. It is a transient...

As a practitioner supporting adults and children experiencing seizures and other neurological conditions, I am often asked whether artificial intelligence (AI) is a helpful tool in health investigation. The answer is nuanced. AI can be a powerful asset when used...
read moreThe Bio-Individual Approach to Therapeutic Dietary Interventions
Healing from neurological conditions is rarely one-size-fits-all. A bio-individual approach recognizes that each person’s genetics, microbiome, detox capacity, immune function, and nutrient status are unique. What calms inflammation in one individual may aggravate...
read moreSeizures may be the diagnosis but you don’t have to believe the prognosis
I've been practicing Nutrition for Seizures for 11 years. Throughout my time as a practitioner working with families I have heard repeatedly that a diagnosis has been made by a qualified medical doctor. Often with a diagnosis there is a prognosis attached to this. ...
read moreB6 deficiency should be explored with all clients experiencing seizures
I have suspected for years that b6 deficiency may be a significant contributer to multiple metabolic disorders that I've come across frequently in my practice. B6 is a critical nutrient for nerve conductivity, the synthesis of neurotransmitters and serves as a...
read moreMold toxins as a potential cause of seizures
There is mounting evidence that toxins from one or varying mold exposures can cause seizure disorders. In 2023 I initally blogged on this topic. The content highlights the health risks associated with exposure to toxic mold, particularly its link to neurological...

Cerebral folate deficiency is a relatively new metabolic disorder. (Several years ago I blogged on this condition. You can read more details here). I find that many families that I work with when approaching their neurologists about testing for cerebral folate...
