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.

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 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. Throughout this challenging journey at now age 80, her intention is to raise awareness for Alzheimer's disease treatment and to promote healthy and productive aging. She was featured in Dr. Bredesen's first book, The End of Alzheimer's, and helped write Dr. Bredesen's third book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's. She was also featured in the recent documentary, Memories for Life. She has been a hero to me, my dad and my family and I am very grateful for her to be with us today.

Today, I am very honored to introduce Coach Lyndsey Byrne out of the U.K. Lyndsey is a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and ReCODE 2.0 Certified Health Coach trained in the Bredesen Protocol for reversing cognitive decline. She helps her clients improve their brain health and memory, prevent dementia and even improve symptoms in those with a Mild Cognitive Impairment diagnosis. After a few years of watching her own mother's memory decline, and then meeting someone who had almost totally reversed their own severe early-cognitive decline, she set on a path of 3,000 hours of research and study and helped her mom implement the Bredesen Protocol. She, herself, is on the prevention protocol and has been a great role model to me, my dad and family. I'm very grateful for her to be with us today.

Today, I am very honored to introduce none other than Dr. Matt Phillips. Matt is a clinical and research neurologist and the director of neurology at Waikato Hospital, Hamilton, New Zealand. His foremost passion is to explore the potential feasibility, safety, and efficacy of metabolic strategies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, in creating alternate metabolic states that may benefit people with a variety of neurological disorders. His team conducted the world's first randomized trials involving a ketogenic diet in people with both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, as well as the first published application of a fasting and ketogenic diet protocol in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Huntington's disease. He is currently conducting a clinical trial in glioblastoma, which combines standard treatments with the most intensive fasting and ketogenic diet protocol ever applied to a group of patients with advanced cancer. He is a hero to me, my dad and my family and I am grateful for him to be with us today.
