When you receive a diagnosis of a rare disease for which there is no medicine to make it disappear, you feel like you're locked in a dark room. But when you're told that there's a therapy that can mitigate the effects of the disease, that's when the light returns...


Kyle is 9 years old and was born with the FoxG1 syndrome. He lives with his parents and a 5-year-old brother near Stuttgart. The FoxG1 gene is responsible for the development of the brain in the organism.
In this report, Mama Tina tells the story of how Kyle came to follow the ketogenic diet

BBQ, garden parties, and seasonal cuisine - that's what summer means to me. But how can we participate while on the ketogenic diet? I'm sure you're familiar with the situation when a big or small celebration is coming up, and you're wondering, 'What can I cook for myself without drawing too much attention? Can I perhaps modify the original recipe for me?'

In a previous blog, I have already described that traveling always requires an intense preparation phase - especially with a toddler on a ketogenic diet. Elisabeth enjoys eating the same things in phases and then - quite suddenly overnight - expresses new food preferences. Therefore, we now limit our overnight stays to visits with grandparents and mainly focus on individual day trips. This way, I feel the safest - especially because the preparation of ketogenic meals has become somewhat easier as a result. In this case, I even like planning somehow.

I finally got the travel bug again after two long Covid years and booked a trip to the south. My destination was Porto and the anticipation was great. For me, traveling doesn't just mean choosing a destination and planning activities, for me it means thinking about what food I need to take with me, what I can get locally or do I need to have some sent to the hotel from Kanso in time.

Since we live very close to the mountains, we also have a very long winter in our region. So it is not unusual that the first really warm spring days begin only in mid-April. All the more, after this time, the first beautiful days also slowly bring the anticipation of fresh regional fruits and vegetables. Of course, the beginning of the strawberry season is the introductory highlight.

Hello dear ones!
Today I would like to give you a little insight into how I integrate the ketogenic diet into my professional everyday life. I work as a speech therapist at a special school. Since my workday is tightly scheduled due to therapies, the necessary documentation and the cooperation with my colleagues, I hardly have time to prepare my food on site.
