Dr. Mark Cucuzzella practices family medicine in Ranson and Martinsburg, West Virginia and is a member of the U.S. News & World Report Best Diets expert panel.
WVU's Jefferson Medical Center, where Cucuzzella practices, has developed and adopted a protocol for using a low-carb diet for patients with obesity, prediabetes, and Type 2 diabetes. Practicing what they preach, the hospital has eliminated all sugar-sweetened beverages from the hospital. Cucuzzella was instrumental in bringing MEDCHEFS to the WVU School of Medicine in 2014 with a focus on understanding insulin resistance. An advocate for evidence based policy and education, Cucuzzella is a founding member of The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, The Nutrition Coalition, the Low Carb Action Network, and The Hypoglycemia Foundation and is a scientific advisor for Diet Doctor. Cucuzzella's current research interests are in the use of continuous glucose monitors for diabetes remission and therapeutic carbohydrate reduction for severe pediatric obesity. He also leads a clinical group "International Multidisciplinary Diabetes Remission Working Group" who just completed an article and textbook chapter on medication reduction in Type 2 diabetes. Cucuzzella also co-authored guidelines on Guideline Central: Low-Carbohydrate Nutrition Approaches in Patients with Obesity, Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes and Companion Patient Guide Low Carb on any Budget: - A Low-carb Shopping and Recipe Starter - Begin a Life Free of Dieting and Indulge Yourself in Health.
He lives in Shepherdstown, West Virginia where he also owns a small community running store and directs running races and camps for youth and adults. His book "Run For Your Life" summarizes the science and the soul of running, nutrition and physical activity to help you maintain a vigorous life. Visit his site at www.DrMarksdesk.com.

Ivor Cummins completed a Biochemical Engineering degree in 1990. He has since spent 30 years in corporate technical leadership positions. His career specialty has been leading large worldwide teams in complex problem-solving activity.
Since 2012 Ivor has been intensively researching the root causes of modern chronic disease. A particular focus has been on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. He shares his research insights at public speaking engagements around the world, revealing the key nutritional and lifestyle interventions which will deliver excellent health and personal productivity. He has recently presented at the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR) and also at the Irish National Institute of Preventative Cardiology (NIPC) annual conferences.
Ivor’s 2018 book “Eat Rich, Live Long” (co-authored with preventative medicine expert Jeffry Gerber MD, FAAFP), details the conclusions of their shared research: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Rich-Live-Long-Mastering/dp/1628602732/

Stephen Cunnane is a professor in the Department of Medicine, University of Sherbrooke, and researcher at the Research Center on Aging. He holds the Endowed Clinical Research Chair in Ketotherapeutics. His team is assessing the links between deteriorating brain energy metabolism and risk of cognitive decline during aging. They were the first to show that ketones can at least partially correct the brain energy deficit in older people at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. This observation that led to the concept of ‘brain energy rescue’ by ketones to treat neurodegenerative disorders. In the recent 6-month BENEFIC trial in MCI, his ketogenic medium chain triglyceride drink improved outcomes in all five cognitive domains. It was commercialized as BrainXpert by Nestlé in 2020 and is the first treatment available for MCI. Dr. Cunnane has published over 350 research papers and five books, two of which highlight the key role of ketones in brain expansion during human evolution. He was elected to the French National Academy of Medicine in 2009. In 2016, he was inducted as a Fellow of the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL). He received the Chevreul Medal from the French Society for the Study of Lipids in 2017 for his research on fats, nutrition and health.

Liz was inspired to become a health coach after caring for her sister with an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis in 2014. She watched her sister struggle with feeling powerless to aid in her own healing. During that time, Liz believed that there had to be a roadmap out there to guide people to play a stronger role in their health. She believes Radical Remission is that roadmap.
As a Certified Radical Remission Health Coach, Liz has witnessed the power of lifestyle change firsthand, which motivates her to share the powerful benefits of the 10 healing factors with people seeking all types of treatments on their cancer journey, as well as other mental and physical diagnoses.
Liz has a Master of Science in International Marketing from St. Joseph’s University, Philadelphia and received her health coaching certification from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, as well as from the Radical Remission Project. She is nationally board certified by the National Board of Health & Wellness Coaches (NBHWC).
