Epilepsy South Central Ontario

Jennifer Fabe has experienced great challenge and fulfillment as the registered dietitian of the Ketogenic Diet Program in the Division of Neurology at McMaster Children’s Hospital in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Although an effective treatment for epilepsy, she has witnessed the limited access to ketogenic treatment in many countries including Canada. Because of her front-line clinical experience – Jennifer has been innovative in developing the ‘Low and Slow’ outpatient ketogenic diet initiation method. Jennifer has trained other Canadian centers and supported international centers to begin their programmes.
In 2015, Emma Williams MBE and CEO of Matthew’s Friends Global appointed Jennifer to lead the Canadian branch. Jennifer now proudly serves as the president of Matthew’s Friends Canada. With the honor of leading this non-profit organization Jennifer enthusiastically seeks partnerships, raises awareness in the community, supports ketogenic diet families & health care professionals as well as participates in guideline initiatives and research.
