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. Hannah is also working on a book about her experiences titled Radiant Beast: The Mitochondrial Pathway, and I am very grateful for her to be on with us today.

Hannah Warren discusses her work in raising awareness of metabolic psychiatry and its potential. She highlights the importance of viewing mental health through a metabolic lens, especially given the rise of metabolic disorders. Learn about how metabolic therapy can be beneficial and the role of nutrition in mental well-being.

Today, I am very honored to introduce Dr. Kat Toups. Kat Toups, MD is a Functional Medicine Psychiatrist and researcher using multi-modal approaches to treat Cognitive Impairment and Dementia, combining the best of Precision, Functional, and Regenerative Medicine. She is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association and certified by the Institute of Functional Medicine Kat has been practicing Psychiatry for 35 years, and Functional Medicine Psychiatry for the past 14 years. She has been a featured speaker at national and international medical conferences on Dementia and Functional Medicine Psychiatry topics, as well as a frequent guest on podcasts and summits. As a prolific researcher, she’s been the Principal Investigator on over 100 clinical trials, including her collaboration with Dr. Dale Bredesen on the pioneering work using Functional and Precision Medicine to reverse cognitive decline and dementia. In their first groundbreaking trial, 84% of the study patients had improvement, including even their MRI head scans. Their first study paper, Precision Medicine Approach to Alzheimer’s Disease: Successful Pilot Project was published in the prestigious Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease in July 2022 and already has 71 citations on Google Scholar over the past 2 years. Two additional papers have also been published from the study. They’re now hard at work on a larger randomized Precision Medicine clinical trial at 6 sites to replicate and expand on the findings from the first study, and there is some exciting data already coming out, as the study is more than 75% complete. Kat is also the author of an upcoming book, Dementia Demystified. She is a hero to me, my dad and family and I am very grateful to have her on with us today.

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. In 2017, she was introduced to the work of the late Dr. Antonio Constantini, who pioneered the use of high-dose Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) as a treatment for Parkinson’s. 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. Daphne is also a musician, teacher and holds a doctorate in music psychology. Her work and insights have been an invaluable resource to me, my dad and my family and I am grateful for her to be with us today.

Today, I am very honored to introduce Dr. Stephen Cunnane. Dr. Cunnane received his PhD from McGill University in 1980, completed post-doctoral research in the UK and Nova Scotia (1980-86), was Professor of Nutritional Sciences at University of Toronto (1986-2003), where he first got interested in ketones in early brain development. He moved to University of Sherbrooke in 2003 to take a Research Chair position and start ketone PET imaging. Dr. Cunnane has published over 350 peer-reviewed research articles and 5 books. He was elected to the French National Academy of Medicine in 2009. In October 2017, he received the Chevreul Medal from the French Society for the Study of Lipids for his exceptional contributions in the field of omega fatty acid metabolism and the role of ketones in optimal brain function during aging. His main focus is on understanding how the brain meets its brain energy requirement during aging and in neurodegenerative disorders. With collaborators, he is now also looking into ketone metabolism by the heart and kidney.

Join Dr. Stephen Cunnane as he discusses the potential of ketones as an alternative energy source for the brain in MCI and Alzheimer's patients. Learn more about the impact of ketones on brain health and cognitive function in this fascinating talk.

Today, I am honored to introduce our guest, Dr. Stephanie Seneff. Dr. Seneff is a senior research scientist at MIT, where she has had continuous affiliation for more than five decades. After receiving four degrees from MIT (B.S.. in Biophysics, M.S., E.E., and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), she has conducted research in packet-switched networks, computational modeling of the human auditory system, natural language processing, spoken dialogue systems, and second language learning. Currently a Senior Research Scientist (MIT’s highest research rank) at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, she has supervised 21 Master’s and 14 Ph.D. students. Since 2008, she has directed her attention towards the role of nutrition and environmental toxicants on human disease. She has authored over 30 peer-reviewed journal papers about the connection between toxic chemicals and micro-nutrient deficiencies in health and disease, with a special emphasis on the dangers of the herbicide Glyphosate (also known as RoundUp) and the importance of the mineral Sulfur.

Today, I am very honored to introduce our guest, Dr. Mary Newport. Mary Newport, M.D. graduated from Xavier University and University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. She trained in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in neonatology at the Medical University Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina. She practiced neonatology, the care of sick and premature newborns, for thirty years and was founding medical director for two newborn intensive care units in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. More recently, she practiced at the opposite end of the spectrum, providing home hospice care and health risk assessments. In 2008, a ketogenic nutritional intervention with coconut and medium-chain triglyceride oil dramatically helped her husband Steve Newport, who had early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, resulting in nearly four better quality years. Her husband lost his battle in 2016 and Dr. Newport carries on his legacy as an author of four books and international speaker on ketones as an alternative fuel for the brain. Her fourth book Clearly Keto for Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention focuses on a whole food ketogenic Mediterranean-style diet and other lifestyle modifications to help maintain brain health and prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias. She is the first hero I looked up to and studied when we started on this path with my dad and I am very grateful for her to be with us today.
