Real Help for Families Navigating Pediatric Epilepsy.
Kero Heros is a free resource hub built by a student who uses ketogenic diet for epilepsy. You will find research summaries, nutrition guidance, sleep and exercise tips, and the books and resources that helped my family, all in one place, in plain language.

Modified Ketogenic Diet supported with MCTs and Ketone Salts as a therapy
Modified Ketogenic Therapy: A Medical Tool, not a Trend
The ketogenic diet is not a wellness fad. It has been used for drug resistant epilepsy for nearly a century, and modified versions, supported with MCT oils and ketone salts, make it more livable for kids and families today.
What the Ketogenic Diet Actually Does:
Classical ketogenic therapy shifts the brain's main fuel from glucose to ketones. For many children whose seizures do not respond to medication, this metabolic switch can dramatically reduce seizure activity. We translate the research on how and why it works into language families can actually can use
Clinical Observations in Neurology
Medical literature and observational data suggest that the modified ketogenic diet can serve as an effective therapy for children with drug-resistant epilepsy in whom polypharmacy with multiple antiseizure medications has failed (PMID: 35144527; PMC10964213). Across studies, approximately two-thirds of these children are therapeutically responsive to a ketogenic diet, achieving at least a 50% reduction in seizure frequency (PMC11445179; PMC3434405). Roughly one-third experience a more profound response, with 90–100% seizure control (PMID: 29653328; PMC10007663), and an estimated 10–15% are "super-responders," remaining seizure-free even after the diet is discontinued (PMID: 17241227). Emerging neuroimaging evidence further suggests that the ketogenic diet exerts its antiseizure effect by remodeling brain network dynamics and enhancing network stability, thereby suppressing seizure activity (PMID: 40464768; PMC6836058).
The Role of Sleep and Exercise
Seizure control is not just about food. Sleep quality and consistent movement affect brain stability too. We share what the research shows and what has worked in real life.
Curated Research Library
Every claim on this site links back to a source, Pubmed studies, peer-reviewed papers, and the books that shaped how I understand this work. No hype, no influencer noise.
Built by someone who's lived it
I am Utku. I had epilepsy as an infant, and the ketogenic diet helped me when medications did not. I built Keto Heros because the resources my family needed did nto exist in one place.
Dead Hang
Dead Hang- Do dead hangs everyday. Grab onto any pull bar and hang for as long as you can. Try increasing your time every week.
Movement Matters
Consistent physical activity helps deplete stored glucose, supports ketone production, and keeps the body's metabolism working with the diet, not against it.
Take a walk after every meal- no exceptions
It is very important to take a walk for minimum 10 minutes after each meal. This will directly stimulate glucose uptake by muscles without needing insulin. Muscles absorb the carbohydrates in your blood will help you stay in Ketosis.
Bodyweight Squats
Simple, safe and engage the largest muscle group in the body- legs and glutes. Do 3 sets of 8-12 squats every day. Rest 30-60 seconds in between sets. Gradually increase your reps to 15-20 reps per set.
