At the end of this conference, participants will be able to:

1. Explore the neurological and neurobiological mechanisms of fasting and its effects on brain metabolism, neuronal energyutilization, and mitochondrial function. 
2. Understand the role of metabolic health in neurological disorders, including cognitive decline, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and cerebrovascular conditions.
3. Examine current evidence on fasting-based and metabolic interventions in the prevention, management, and adjunctive treatment of neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions.
4. Assess the impact of fasting on cognitive function, memory, and neuroplasticity, particularly in aging populations and patients with neurodegenerative disorders.
5. Discuss the interaction between fasting, neuroinflammation, and brain resilience, and how metabolic modulation may influence disease progression and recovery.
6. Integrate lifestyle-based and nutritional strategies into neurological practice while ensuring patient safety, individualized care, and ethical clinical application.
7. Identify appropriate patient selection, contraindications, and risk management strategies when considering fasting or metabolic interventions in neurological and neuropsychiatric patients. 
8. Review emerging research, clinical trials, and future directions in fasting, ketosis, and metabolic therapies related to brain health.
9. Promote interdisciplinary collaboration between neurologists, neuropsychiatrists, metabolic specialists, and allied health professionals to optimize patient outcomes. 
10. Apply evidence-based knowledge to real-world clinical practice, enhancing clinical decision-making and improving neurological patient care.
