NEW KetoCal Connect Program to Support Keto Parents & Caregivers!

KetoCal_Connect_logoThe KetoCal® Team spoke with several keto parents to ask- What information and resources would have been helpful for you when your child started the ketogenic diet? Based on that feedback, we created the KetoCal Connect Program. The goal of KetoCal Connect is to help patients start and stay on the ketogenic diet successfully by providing caregivers with the information, support, and resources they need to manage the diet at home*.

There are 4 pillars of the KetoCal Connect program:

  1. Trusted products

We want you to have access to our trusted products from day 1 of your ketogenic diet journey. KetoCal has been used by healthcare providers all over the world for over 16 years. If you or your child is going to start the ketogenic diet or has recently started, ask your healthcare provider for a free sample of KetoCal or Liquigen® and a KetoCal Connect New Patient Starter Kit.

  1. Coverage & Cost Assistance

Our goal is to make sure that everyone who needs KetoCal has access to it. Our team of coverage specialists is available to help walk you through the process of getting KetoCal covered by your insurance, WIC, or Medicaid. When these are not options, the KetoCal Assistance Program (KAP) is available for qualifying families to purchase KetoCal at a discounted price.

  1. Caregiver Support

Remember, you are not alone – there’s a whole community behind you. Let us help you connect to nutrition experts and keto families just like you. Get one-on-one help with KetoCal or Liquigen questions by calling one of our Nutrition Specialists at 1-800-365-7354, Option 2. For everyday tips, check out our caregiver support blog. Visit our social media pages to stay up-to-date with KetoCal and to connect with other keto families just like you!

  1. Tasty Ketogenic Recipes

We know how important it is to find ketogenic variations of your child’s favorite foods (and that favorite foods can change overnight!). Check out our recipe database to find a variety of sweet and savory ketogenic recipe ideas that can be adapted according to your child’s specific nutritional needs.

Around the World in 60 Days Challenge- Help Us Help Children’s Medical Nutrition Alliance!

ATWThere are thousands of children in the United States with medical conditions which require restrictive, medically-supervised diets. To live and thrive, many children are dependent on specialized—and costly—medical foods and formulas. However, often times the important products that families need are not entirely covered by insurances. The families of these children face many worries and an enormous financial burden trying to ensure their children receive proper nutrition.

This is where Children’s Medical Nutrition Alliance (CMNuA) comes in. CMNuA is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports families in covering a major portion of their medical nutrition expenses in cases where the child’s insurance is unable to help. The money they use to help these families comes from financial donations and fundraising events.

CMNuA empowers, educates, assists, advocates for and supports ALL patients who require medical nutrition. In doing so, CMNuA has created the first-ever national coalition dedicated to enhancing the lives of all patients in need of medical nutrition regardless of their underlying condition.

Around The World in 60 Days Challenge (#ATW60D)

At Nutricia, the makers of KetoCal, we understand the struggles these families go through and how necessary CMNuA is for them. That is why this year we have challenged ourselves to virtually Walk Around the World in 60 days in support of CMNuA. The challenge will require our team to collectively walk 25,000 miles in 60 days. Nutricia North America will donate $10,000 to CMNuA if the goal is met! Our challenge starts March 15th and will continue until May 10th 2017.

The virtual walk will be divided into 4 phases. We will track our progress via fitness trackers and will report on them over the coming weeks.
