Oliver Smith
CLINICAL NUTRITIONIST & KETOGENIC DIET SPECIALIST
Being the father of a son diagnosed with intractable epilepsy and autism was what set Oliver to discover the ketogenic diet. Armed with a degree in physics and a deep interest in science, he embarked on an ongoing journey of learning about this dietary lifestyle, studying along the way different types of modalities all aimed at improving his son’s wellbeing. The result in applying the ketogenic approach on his son wasn’t short of outstanding. Not only his seizures stopped, but his cognition, focus, social behavior... all improved, as if a light switch was turned on.
Following his son’s amazing response, Oliver began to apply ketogenic principles with clients, similarly witnessing great improvements in a lot of different conditions.
