Ketogenic diet and ketamine infusion treatment to target chronic persistent eating disorder psychopathology in anorexia nervosa: a pilot study

In an open‑label pilot of five weight‑restored adults with chronic anorexia nervosa psychopathology, a therapeutic ketogenic diet followed by six ketamine infusions was safe, maintained weight for most participants and produced significant improvements on multiple eating‑disorder measures. The findings suggest this combined TKD‑ketamine approach may ameliorate persistent shape/weight preoccupations by normalising underlying neurobiology, warranting further controlled trials.
