INTEGRATIVE KETOGENIC
RESEARCH & THERAPIES
Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy for Mental Health
Integrative Ketogenic Research & Therapies (IKRT) provides ketogenic metabolic therapy for mental health, grounded in the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry.
Founded by Dr Erin Louise Bellamy, IKRT supports adults with conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and treatment-resistant mental health symptoms to safely implement and sustain ketogenic and metabolic therapies alongside standard psychiatric care.
Our programs are delivered remotely, making specialist support accessible to individuals in the UK and internationally. IKRT focuses on education, personalised macronutrient guidance, metabolic monitoring, and ongoing professional and peer support, addressing the how, not just the theory.
IKRT is designed for people who have tried ketogenic diets before without lasting success, struggled to stay in ketosis, or felt overwhelmed by conflicting information.
Through structured teaching, symptom tracking, ketone monitoring, and community support, clients learn how to apply ketogenic metabolic therapy in a way that supports both brain energy and long-term mental health stability.
This is not a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all diet approach. It is a supported metabolic intervention built for real life, complex mental health presentations and sustainable change.
This is online ketogenic metabolic therapy for mental health, without guesswork.
What if your mental health struggles had a metabolic root?
If you’ve tried everything, therapy, medication, supplements, lifestyle changes, and you’re still struggling with depression, anxiety, or mood swings…
You’re not alone. And you’re not out of options.
What People Say
Ketogenic therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic approach.
Originally used in epilepsy, therapeutic ketogenic diets show remarkable potential in supporting brain health, emotional stability, and psychiatric symptom relief.
For some people, this metabolic intervention is the missing piece.

What Clients Say
MMH 1:1 PROGRAM
"As a charity founder, life coach, and business owner I have worked with many mental health professionals over the last 10 years both professionally and personally. Dr. Erin has provided probably the best experience I’ve had so far, not just in terms of efficiency, but also tangible results... a rarity in the mental health field, which often just puts temporary band-aids on everything. Also, personally, Erin has a level of integrity, honesty and social EQ which is extremely rare, especially from scholars. If you get the chance to work with Erin, I would grab it with both arms. She is an expert of the highest order and a pleasure to work with. The results have been astounding, and it's only been a few weeks. If you're on the fence with trying Erin & ketogenic therapy. This is your call to jump over that fence right now. You won't regret it."
MMH 1:1 PROGRAM
I wouldn't have been able to implement ketogenic therapy on my own without the service. The program was simple and easy to follow, whereas I would've made many mistakes doing it on my own. The support also massively helped in actually following through.
I feel blessed to have heard Erin on a podcast, at a time when it was much needed. I like the intelligent kind and calm approach. This is along with extensive knowledge on both the physical and mental functions which means all questions are considered and explored. Id highly recommend the level of support given.
