Healing Seizures with the Ketogenic Diet: Food as Medicine for the Brain
from The Functional Nurse Academy Podcast · host Melissa Schreibfeder
Joining me today is Aly, also known as “The Realistic RN” a former ER and travel nurse who developed a seizure disorder and was left with no answers from the medical system beyond lifelong medication. After experiencing medical gaslighting Aly took her healing into her own hands—using natural interventions, most notably the ketogenic diet—to fully reclaim her health. Now thriving, Aly is using her voice to expose what she calls the “sick-care system,” advocate for patients and nurses, and push for real reform. This episode challenges everything we’ve been told about healing, authority, and who truly benefits from modern healthcare.Here is the link to the petition Aly started for real food in hospitals, real nutrition education, safe staffing ratio laws, and mental health protection: Petition LinkFollow Aly: Realistic RN on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/therealisticrn/Interested in becoming a functional medicine nurse?
