Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel addresses epilepsy through metabolic optimization and identifying triggers, not just seizure suppression. Ketogenic diet remarkably effective (developed specifically for epilepsy in 1920s—reduces seizures 50-90% in many cases). Protocol: 1) Therapeutic ketogenic diet (metabolic therapy for brain), 2) Stabilize blood sugar, 3) Optimize nutrients (magnesium, B6, zinc critical), 4) Address gut dysfunction, 5) Identify food triggers, 6) Support mitochondrial function, 7) Neurotransmitter support (GABA), 8) Avoid seizure triggers. Many patients reduce or eliminate medications with proper protocol.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs): Phenytoin (Dilantin), Carbamazepine (Tegretol), Valproic acid (Depakote), Levetiracetam (Keppra), Lamotrigine (Lamictal), Topiramate (Topamax), many others, often need combination of medications, Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) implant, Ketogenic diet (recognized by conventional medicine as effective), Brain surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy (resection, corpus callosotomy).
AEDs control seizures but don't cure epilepsy, significant side effects common (cognitive impairment, mood changes, weight gain, dizziness, fatigue, birth defects with some), 30% of patients have drug-resistant epilepsy (medications ineffective), medications often needed lifelong, polypharmacy common (multiple drugs with compounding side effects), doesn't address root causes (metabolic dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, food triggers), ketogenic diet highly effective but rarely offered as first-line (reserved for drug-resistant cases—should be offered earlier), minimal nutritional counseling beyond ketogenic diet mention.

Key Lab Markers
Dietary Guidance
Ketogenic diet (HIGHLY EFFECTIVE): 75-80% fat, 15-20% protein, 5-10% carbs (under 50g/day), maintain ketosis (blood ketones 1.5-3.0 mmol/L), modified Atkins diet (less restrictive alternative), eliminate sugar and refined carbs completely, identify food triggers (MSG, artificial sweeteners, food dyes), blood sugar stabilization critical (hypoglycemia triggers seizures), adequate salt and hydration, MCT oil for easy ketone production, avoid alcohol, organic foods.
Lifestyle Factors
Consistent sleep schedule critical (sleep deprivation major trigger), stress management (stress lowers seizure threshold), avoid known triggers (flashing lights if photosensitive, lack of sleep, skipped meals, stress, alcohol, caffeine for some, overheating), ketone monitoring (blood or breath meter), regular exercise (improves seizure control but avoid overexertion), wear medical alert bracelet, seizure safety precautions, avoid swimming alone, driving restrictions per local laws, meditation.
