Summary
This Open-Label Pilot Study Aims to Determine Whether a Two-Part Sequenced Out Patient
Procedure Utilizing a Modified Ketogenic Diet Followed by a Series of Titrated Ketamine
Infusions Results in Improvement or Remission of Chronic Anorexia Nervosa in Adults with
Symptoms of Anorexia for at Least 3 Years Despite Treatment Involving at Least 2 Different
Modalities. The Hypothesis is That the Diet Addresses Core Metabolic Deficits in the
"Anorexic Brain" and Primes the Response to Ketamine.
