Epilepsy Beyond Keto: Hidden Food Triggers That Fuel Seizures

If keto (or low-carb) hasn’t fully controlled seizures, there may be other diet variables lowering seizure threshold. In this episode, we go beyond carbs and ketones and break down how antinutrients (the “nutrient thieves” in certain foods) can reduce mineral and vitamin availability, and how food antigens may contribute to neuroinflammation or immune activation in susceptible people. We cover practical ways to identify potential food-trigger patterns, when an elimination approach can be useful, and which micronutrients commonly matter for seizure resilience—without turning this into guesswork or fear around food.
