Dr Kaja Falkenheim - exogynous ketones to improve cognition

Dr. Falkenhain earned her BSc in Cognitive Sciences in Germany, followed by her PhD at the University of British Columbia where she investigated the effects of endogenous and exogenous ketosis on cardiometabolic health. Her broader research interest is focused on cross-disciplinary human research that investigates the metabolic and physiological effects (including the mechanistic underpinnings thereof) of nutritional and lifestyle interventions. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Pennington Biomedical Research Institute.

Anyone who has attended a LowCarbUSA® Symposium for Metabolic Health conference is undoubtedly already familiar with Dave Feldman’s innovative work relating to cholesterol, and the Lean Mass Hyper-responder study, which he is conducting in partnership with the Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA.

Dave is a software engineer and entrepreneur who has learned a great deal on the subject of lipids through research and experimentation, often using himself as the subject of his work. He attracted considerable attention for a series of experiments in which he caused drastic changes to his LDL in mere days, and this work led him to develop the Lipid Energy Model.

Dr Gary Fettke is an Orthopaedic Surgeon practicing in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia. He has a major interest in the preventative medicine and encourages his patients to lose weight before undergoing surgery.

Although his speciality is surgery, Gary believes it is much better to help people avoid surgery, if at all possible, by taking preventative measures, which often involve altering the diet.

In recent years Gary has focused on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out on the combined role of sugar, fructose, refined carbohydrates and polyunsaturated oils linking together to be behind inflammation and modern disease.

He has incurred the wrath of regulatory bodies for his stand on public health, but he and his wife, Belinda, remain active defending the benefits of low carb healthy fat living. Their ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at an international level. Read more

  Premium conference: Carbohydrate: The Dose is the Poison - Boca 2021

https://www.lowcarbusa.org/videos/premium-event-videos/virtual-boca-2021-livestream/

  Belinda Fettke describes herself as a change-agent in the nutrition space, challenging the health benefits of low-fat, high-carbohydrate dietary guidelines as truly ‘evidence-based’ after researching both the vested interests, and religious ideology, shaping dietary and health messaging globally.

Belinda’s research has focused on; “Who decides what we eat, when we eat, and why?” and includes the history of vegetarianism, the invention of ‘health food’, the emergence of dietetics as a profession, and the Global Influence of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on Diet.

Over the last decade she has discovered an unexpected intersection between Seventh-day Adventist ideology and commercial vested interests, both intent on demonising animal protein and fats. Incredibly, this symbiotic relationship has helped manifest our current ‘plant-biased’ dietary and health guidelines.

Belinda states she is not anti-religion nor is she anti-vegetarian, as a personal choice, but she is very concerned about dietary preferences being taken away from those who choose to include meat, dairy, and eggs in their diet. Taking away choices that may negatively impact an individual’s health outcome.

Belinda challenges recent attempts by regulators to ‘silence’ healthcare professionals from broad and meaningful discussions on nutrition and from using #FoodasMedicine, with the threat of de-registration should they deviate from the ‘guidelines’ which have somehow become strict ‘rule-books’ protected by Associations with ties to industry.

  Eugene Fine, M.D. is a highly-skilled, Board-Certified urologist, who currently works at New York Health’s Central Park office, located at 12 East 86th Street.

r. Fine’s professional interests have centered on non-invasive measurement of physiologic and molecular function, especially with radiotracer technology. This was applied to the heart and especially to measurement of kidney function and its role and contribution to hypertension; and more recently has focused on radiotracers for diagnosis, monitoring, prognosis, and identification of cancers for appropriate therapy.

The effects of dietary and nutritional manipulation, and especially of reducing carbohydrate content, on altering our metabolic environment. Carbohydrate restriction in humans mimics many of the metabolic effects of fasting, and may be systematically studied using appropriate in vitro, cell culture, animal models and in vivo biochemical and radiotracer techniques. Of particular interest is the potential for differential systemic metabolic effects on normal compared to malignant/transformed cells.

Ede Fox turned her life around with a ketogenic/carnivore diet. Decades of compulsive consumption of refined carbs and junk food led to obesity, joint pain, rising blood pressure and blood sugar, plus out of control asthma, allergies, and eczema. At 50 years old she reversed all of those conditions, has tons of energy, lost 80 pounds, and most importantly, developed a healthy way of eating that is sustainable for a lifetime. Ede is now on a mission to help others lose weight, end chronic pain and inflammation, reverse disease and get off medications. She runs a carnivore coaching program, a growing Facebook community, hosts a Podcast and a weekly livestream on YouTube.

  My research interests are primarily focused on investigating brain biology that underlies eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder. We are especially interested in understanding what biological circuits in the brain drive for instance food restriction, binge eating, or anxiety associated with body image. Ultimately, we hope that we identify medication that will make treatment easier, faster and more successful.

An early proponent of the now-popular fasting lifestyle, Dr. Fung is often called the founder of intermittent fasting, and is regularly “cited to provide scientific legitimacy for a diet that can seem outlandish to the unfamiliar” (Quartz). As a young nephrologist (kidney doctor) working with patients whose type 2 diabetes had led to kidney disease, Dr. Fung saw a clear relationship between prescribed insulin medication and weight gain, an observation that led him to intermittent fasting as a way to lower insulin and force the body to burn fat as energy. Today, Dr. Fung has prescribed intermittent fasting and a low carb diet to thousands of patients who have seen results that include reversal of type 2 diabetes, weight loss, and overall higher quality of life and wellbeing. In 2016, Dr. Fung published one of the first popular science books to recommend intermittent fasting for weight loss, The Obesity Code, which went on to sell over 2 million copies worldwide. Next, he published The Diabetes Code, which lays out his foundational approach to type 2 diabetes prevention and reversal. A New York Times-bestselling author, Dr. Fung has written numerous other books on disease prevention including The PCOS Plan, and The Cancer Code.

Dr. Fung completed medical school at the University of Toronto and a fellowship in nephrology at UCLA. He continues to practice nephrology in Toronto, where he is also the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program that helps patients lose weight and reverse their type 2 diabetes naturally.
