„Just two weeks after starting the ketogenic diet I felt noticeably better. My coach helped me clear up every uncertainty with the implementation. The depression is gone and I get out of bed in the morning without any trouble."
Dominik, got his depression under control through ketogenic nutrition.
„Shortly after starting the ketogenic diet with the support of my coach, and in close consultation with my doctor, I was able to reduce my medication dose, and my heartburn also improved significantly. On top of that comes a clear head. I am very grateful."
Barbara improved her wellbeing and can now reduce her medication, thanks to ketogenic nutrition
The medically ketogenic diet is a metabolic therapy: the body switches from glucose to ketone bodies, which serve as an alternative energy source for the brain. Growing clinical evidence shows benefits in depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Kysana makes it practical for everyday life.
of study participants reported significant symptom reduction after 16 weeks.
of participants with metabolic syndrome were free of it by the end of the study.
„What Kysana does has the potential to fundamentally change the treatment of treatment-resistant patients."

Kysana is also a tool for professionals: dashboard, monitoring, pilot support. We look forward to pilot partners in epilepsy and mental health.
The Kysana app was built specifically for brain health. Unlike conventional keto apps, it supports a medically ketogenic diet with recipes in the right ratio of carbohydrates, fat and protein to reach ketosis and therapeutically relevant ketone levels.
You can also log your ketone levels, mood and nutrition, create individual meal plans and follow your progress together with your coach.
We continuously develop the app based on current research and in close exchange with nutrition counselors, clinics and psychotherapists. Our goal: to make a science-based approach understandable and easy to integrate into your everyday life.
The medically ketogenic diet is far more than a diet: it is a metabolic therapy. The body switches its energy production from glucose to ketone bodies, which serve as an alternative energy source for the brain.
In recent years, this form of therapy has increasingly been studied for mental illness as well. Numerous case reports, pilot studies and first randomized controlled trials show promising results, including in depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The scientific evidence is growing continuously and makes the medically ketogenic diet a promising building block of psychiatry.
The medically ketogenic diet is still little known to many doctors. At the same time, the scientific evidence is growing, and more and more clinics are engaging with the approach. We provide information material for your doctor to download. If there are questions, your doctor can contact us directly at any time.
The Kysana app helps you simplify your everyday life and use the ketogenic diet effectively. Studies show that even people with severe mental illness were able to implement this diet in everyday life. The easiest way to start is together with an experienced keto professional at your side.
This varies from person to person and depends on the condition, metabolism and consistent implementation. Some people notice first changes within a few weeks; for others it takes several months. We recommend following the medically ketogenic diet consistently for at least three months before judging its effect.
When implemented correctly, the medically ketogenic diet is safe for most people. At the beginning, temporary symptoms of the so-called keto flu can occur, e.g. fatigue, headaches, dizziness, concentration problems or muscle cramps. A keto coach can help prevent these early on.
Special caution is needed with blood pressure and diabetes medication, as blood pressure and blood sugar often improve quickly and the medication needs to be adjusted. Therefore, always discuss the dietary change with your treating doctor.
The medically ketogenic diet is not suitable for everyone. It should not be used with certain rare metabolic disorders (e.g. disorders of fatty acid oxidation or carnitine metabolism), acute pancreatitis, severe liver insufficiency or certain forms of porphyria.
Special caution is also needed during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and when taking SGLT2 inhibitors (a specific diabetes medication). With type 1 diabetes or other pre-existing conditions, the therapy should only be carried out under medical and nutritional-therapeutic supervision.
Kysana grows out of personal experience and clinical expertise. We make a scientific approach accessible that so far only existed in a few specialized clinics. So that people no one else could help get a real option.
