| She put her Bipolar in Remission with Metabolic Therapy | Hannah Warren, Ep.021 | 31 Jul 2025 | 00:53:28 | |
Today I am very honored to introduce Hannah Warren. Hannah is the Communications and Advocacy Manager and writer for Baszucki Group and Metabolic Mind. Hannah works to increase awareness of the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry. She has worked in the nonprofit field the majority of her career, most recently as Marketing and Development Director at Serenity Hospice and Home, a nonprofit serving terminally ill patients and their loved ones. In 2008, she founded Jhoole, an eco-fashion social enterprise that employs women in India and currently serves on its Board of Directors. In July 2021, Hannah implemented ketogenic therapy and ultimately put her bipolar 1 disorder into complete remission. This experience inspired her to devote her career to disseminating the science of metabolic therapies and working to make them a first-line treatment option. Hannah served as a volunteer with the Brain Energy Movement started by Dr. Christopher Palmer and now serves as a volunteer with Metabolic Collective to mobilize grassroots advocates to raise awareness and increase access to metabolic therapies for psychiatric and neurological disorders. Today, she actively implements treatments for neurometabolic dysfunction including ketogenic therapy, intermittent fasting, exercise and meditation.

| Parkinson's Disease Halted by Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) | Daphne Bryan, Ep.010 | 19 Jun 2025 | 00:24:03 | |
Today, I am very honored to introduce Daphne Bryan. Daphne Bryan, PhD is the author of the book titled Parkinson’s and the B1 Therapy. After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease over 15 years ago, she was told there was no way to halt the progression of this condition.

Although not a cure, Dr. Constantini and his team had treated over 2,500 patients with thiamine and witnessed amazing results far beyond what could be expected from traditional medications. A few months after starting B1, she eventually noticed that many of her symptoms had all but resolved. After networking with many others who were also seeing similar improvements, Daphne dedicated herself to providing detailed guidance on how to use the therapy from a layman’s perspective.

Since we’ve been helping my dad through the Bredesen Protocol all these years, I’ve gotten asked many different questions. But one question in particular that has come up repeatedly has been, “where are the patients that have reversed their Alzheimer’s with Bredesen’s protocol?” Well, today, with us, we have Frank McNear who did just that. Frank is one of the first pioneers in this area that reversed his Alzheimer’s Disease and its associated cognitive decline through the help of Dr. Dale Bredesen and the Bredesen Protocol. Before that, Frank was a successful entrepreneur. He is a devoted husband to his wife Pat, who he had once been the caretaker for, when she had suffered a debilitating stroke years ago. He’s a father, grandfather, and now author. He was just featured in Dr. Bredesen’s third book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer’s. But more importantly, among his other written works, he’s written two amazing books: Defeating Dementia and his most recent release Taking Care of the Caretakers. He’s a hero in my household and has been a constant source of inspiration to me, my dad and the many many people his message has reached.

Today, I am very honored to introduce Judy Benjamin, PhD. Judy was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 67, and her mom had passed away from the disease after a 20-year battle. Upon Judy’s diagnosis, she started looking for answers, which led to the serendipitous meeting with Dr. Dale Bredesen, as she became his first patient, “Patient Zero.” She immediately embraced his revolutionary and clinically proven protocol to treat, reverse and prevent cognitive decline and made significant changes to her diet and lifestyle. Inspired by her success, she vowed to pay it forward, becoming a ReCODE-trained health coach with Apollo Health and opening her thriving consulting business, Access Longevity. Wanting to continue spreading the important message of hope to those with cognitive decline, she decided to undertake a 3,000 mile walk across America on April 5th from San Diego, California to St. Augustine, Florida.

| Beating Cancer, Mindset and Riding for the Pan-Mass Challenge | Kevin O'Riordan, Ep. 024 | 06 Sep 2025 | 01:11:15 | |
Today I am very honored to introduce my good friend, Kevin O’Riordan. Kevin is an Acute Myeloid Leukemia survivor and stem cell transplant recipient. He is riding in the Pan-Mass Challenge this weekend, for the second time, to help raise funds and support the Jimmy Fund and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In August 2024, Kevin rode 186 miles on a two-day route from Sturbridge to Provincetown, MA. This year, he’ll be riding the route again – this time with a team comprised of his brother, Tom (who was his stem cell donor), his dear friend, Nate, his uncles and his sister in law, Alissa. He’s riding primarily to help raise funds that will aid in continuing research and operations at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Funding goes to doctors, nurses, staff and researchers at DFCI so they can continue to help people like Kevin. He’s a proud supporter of the Pan-Mass Challenge because it is leading the charge to beat cancer. In fact, 100% of rider-raised revenue went directly to support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber’s tireless commitment to finding a cure. Kevin’s a great friend, amazing person with an amazing story and I’m very grateful for him to be with us today. | |||
