I’m a former research immunologist, Functional Medicine Practitioner, and Health Coach. My mission is to help women improve their health by identifying and addressing the underlying causes of their issues, rather than just managing symptoms, with a personalized plan tailored to their needs.
My journey began with my quest to help my young son heal from Lyme disease and other co-infections after multiple rounds of antibiotics. It continued as I faced my own health challenges, including autoimmune diseases (Sjogren’s, Myasthenia Gravis, Connective Tissue Disease, and early signs of Lupus). As I entered perimenopause, genetics caught up with me—I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes despite an active lifestyle and optimal body composition. Brain fog, low energy, and poor sleep made daily life increasingly difficult, pushing me to dive deeper into functional medicine.

In his CTRS Director role, Dr. Crawford oversees research support teams that provide a wide range of services and expert consultations to support clinical and translational research, which includes the Biostatistical Design and Analysis Center (BDAC), the Biorepository Laboratory Services (BLS), the Clinical Research Support Center (CRSC), Regulatory Support, the Workforce Development Program, and the Recruitment Center.
Dr. Crawford is a Professor and the Vice Dean for Research for the University of Minnesota Medical School. He also serves as the director for the Department of Medicine’sDivision of Molecular Medicine. As a CTSA Multi-PI and Vice Dean for Research in the Medical School, Dr. Crawford has the vantage point and authority to identify and foster strong synergies in clinical and translational research infrastructure and support across CTSI and the University's six health science schools.
Dr. Crawford’s research program focuses on the interplay between intermediary metabolism and the processes of obesity and cardiovascular disease. To do this, his lab studies human participants and leverages novel genetic mouse models to develop new perspectives of how metabolism adapts in obesity, diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiomyopathy; how these adaptations ultimately prove deleterious; and how personalized nutritional and pharmacological therapies may mitigate these adverse responses. His program focuses heavily on the development of students, fellows, and early-career faculty.

Dr. Kraft, a clinical pathologist, ran 3,650 glucose-insulin tolerance tests. Dr. Kraft was looking for diabetes mellitus and was not particularly looking for hypoglycemia. Many of his tests were ran for only three hours or four hours. For this reason, the new Kraft Prediabetes Profile should not only yield more information as outlined below with regard to the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and latent glucose tolerance tests, but it also should enable us to do more for hypoglycemia. Of the 3,650 glucose tolerance tests, 1,713 were defined a normal (for diabetes mellitus) according to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association. Of the 1,713 tests which would have been judged normal strictly on the basis of glucose tolerance, 50% were demonstrated abnormal on the basis of insulin tolerance, and another 14% were borderline results. 2.5% were displayed insulin response. This means that 2/3 of the tests that would have been judged normal by the Glucose Tolerant Test were found to be latent diabetic when the Kraft Prediabetes Profile test was taken into consideration. Remember that all these people were referred because of suspicion of diabetes, so the high numbers should not be so surprising, but what the above data shows is that of the 1,713 cases, out of 3,650 which would have been judged normal by only glucose tolerance test criteria, the insulin test showed that only one third of them really were normal. Looking at the overall group of 3,650 people referred because of suspicion of diabetes, the usual glucose tolerance test criteria would have found that 1713 were normal. Bringing to bear the insulin tolerance test, two thirds of these so-called “normal” tests were found to be latent diabetic. It appears obvious that the glucose-insulin tolerance test will detect many more latent diabetics.

Dr. Ignacio Cuaranta is a board-certified clinical psychiatrist. He received his medical degree from Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina in 2009. In 2006 he assisted as an observer at Beaumont Weight Control Center. In 2015 he worked at a Psychiatric Center at ASM13, París, France and in 2017 he completed a week-long observation of the Intensive Dietary Management Program in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, with Dr. Jason Fung and Megan Ramos, where he learnt invaluable lessons for therapeutic fasting prescriptions.
Dr. Cuaranta has completed the first online LCHF physician training course by the Noakes foundation, in a dynamic search to gain a depth of knowledge for his private practice. He has also served as the head of the Mood Department at a Neuroscience Clinic since 2015. As a physician, the high rate of obese patients and metabolic disorders caused him to consider whether his practice was complete if it centered only on drugs as a therapy. He began seeing frequent patterns in the clinical manifestations of his patients that couldn’t be explained by the classical arguments in psychiatry for compulsive behavior, impulsive behavior, lack of energy, lethargy, mental fog, mood instability, poor concentration to name a few.
He challenged his preconceived notions about nutrition and started paying more attention to the effect of food on the human body, brain health, behavior as well as the impact obesity and other metabolic disorders have on quality of life, mental, physical and social health. His focus is on mental health optimization and weight loss as a path to health recovery. He operates from a private office where he deals with a wide array of psychiatric conditions and obesity related issues. Continue reqding...

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.
