FOUNDATION
Psychiatry
Comprehensive psychiatric assessment, clinical formulation and evidence-based treatment when appropriate.
ABOUT
Psychiatry With a Wider Perspective.
Mental health is shaped by more than symptoms alone. Understanding the person requires looking at the mind, the body and the biological systems that connect them.

THE PERSON BEHIND KETOGENIC SOUL
Efthymios “Makis” Nathanailidis.
Psychiatrist · Psychotherapist
My work begins with a simple principle: every patient deserves to be understood as a whole person, not simply as a diagnosis.
I am a psychiatrist based in Athens, working with people facing a wide spectrum of mental health challenges — from common psychological difficulties to more complex psychiatric conditions.
My clinical approach combines established psychiatric treatment and psychotherapy with an ongoing interest in the relationship between metabolic health, nutrition and brain function.
Rather than viewing these areas as competing models, I believe they can contribute different pieces to a more complete understanding of the individual.
CLINICAL BACKGROUND
Built on Clinical Training & Experience.
01
MEDICAL EDUCATION
National & Kapodistrian University of Athens
Graduate of the Medical School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

CONTINUING CLINICAL INTEREST
Metabolic Psychiatry
Ongoing study of the developing scientific field examining the relationship between metabolic function, nutrition and psychiatric health.
HOW I PRACTICE
Different Dimensions. One Clinical Strategy.
Good psychiatric care should not begin with the question “Which single treatment should we use?” but with “What does this particular person need?”
02
THE PERSON
Psychotherapy
Understanding emotional experience, relationships, behaviour and the personal context in which symptoms develop.
03
EXPANDED VIEW
Metabolic Psychiatry
Exploring how metabolic health, energy regulation, nutrition and other biological systems may interact with mental wellbeing.
MY CLINICAL PHILOSOPHY
Treat the Person. Not Only the Condition.
01
Listen First
Treatment begins by understanding the person, their history and their individual experience.
02
Think Broadly
Mental health may involve psychological, biological, social and metabolic dimensions.
03
Personalize Care
A diagnosis may guide treatment, but the strategy must fit the individual.
04
Follow the Evidence
Established treatment and emerging science should be evaluated with clinical responsibility.
THE VISION
A More Complete Way to Think About Mental Health.
My vision is a form of psychiatric care that remains firmly grounded in clinical medicine while remaining open to new scientific perspectives on the relationship between the brain, body and metabolism.
Ketogenic Soul exists to explore that intersection responsibly — combining established psychiatric care, psychotherapy and emerging metabolic approaches around the needs of each individual.
