Prior to his diagnosis of a highly vascular Anaplastic Astrocytoma brain tumour, he studied for a masters in Nutritional Therapy and worked as a personal trainer. He is currently studying Human Biology and Medical Science at the University of Westminster, where he is heavily involved with brain tumour research. He mixes practical experience of metabolic therapies with a detailed understanding of its potential for cancer management and seizure control at the cellular level.  Isabella D Cooper majored with honours in biochemistry with medical physiology, molecular genetics, advanced cell biology, advanced cancer biology, physiological networks (neurology, endocrinology and immunology), proteins and enzyme biochemistry, bioinformatics in influenza, and metabolic biochemistry. She has won multiple awards in multiple consecutive years, those include the Faculty of Science and Technology Awards, Individual Teaching Award and Group Teaching Award for Medical Physiology, Dean’s List Awards and Biochemical Society Award. In addition, Isabella is an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, Affiliate of the Endocrine Society, Affiliate of the Physiological Society and Associate Member of the Royal Society of Biology. Isabella’s PhD research is in hyperinsulinemia and ketogenic sciences. Her work involves human intervention trials and ex vivo work, with samples from research participants. Furthermore, Isabella has developed co-culture ex vivo and in vitro hybridisation cell stimulation experiments, to gain further insight into cellular mechanisms of action.  Isabella is the lead author of the recently published paper in the BMJ Open Heart: Relationships between hyperinsulinemia, magnesium, vitamin D, thrombosis and COVID-19: rationale for clinical management. https://openheart.bmj.com/content/7/2/e001356 See https://beatbraincancer.co.uk/ for more information.

Carnivore Diet May Be The Best Thing For Your Mental Health | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Rachel Brown

Dr Brown graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2003. She is a UK based Consultant Psychiatrist as well as being a qualified Functional Medicine Practitioner. She is a member of The British Society for Ecological Medicine, The Institute for Functional Medicine and The Royal College of Psychiatrists.  Dr Brown specialises in working within General Adult Psychiatry and has an endorsement in Liaison Psychiatry as well as a Master degree in Medical Laws and Ethics. Dr Brown has specialist experience of working within Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams. After completing Higher Specialist Training in 2011 she worked within community and inpatient psychiatric services before taking up her post with a Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Team in 2016.  Dr Brown is an Educational Supervisor for core psychiatric trainees as well as being a Clinical Supervisor for both core and higher trainees in psychiatry. She has been involved in undergraduate teaching of medical students, service development with the introduction of skills training to her local NHS health board and has ongoing research involvement with a pilot study examining the effectiveness of the ketogenic diet on the symptoms of bipolar disorder. Dr Brown’s main area of interest relates to the field of Metabolic Psychiatry. She is a Nutrition Network Advisor and recommends therapeutic carbohydrate restriction for the treatment of mental disorder. Other interests include food addiction and optimisation of gut health for the improvement of mental health. Dr Brown believes in holistic medical care and addressing root cause of illness. She believes there is a better way for the practice of psychiatry, that relies less on pharmaceuticals and more on addressing underlying metabolic and environmental causes of mental illness. Dr Brown has grown weary of the simplistic pharma-focussed standard psychiatric approach to patients and after improving her own health by implementing dietary strategies of paleo, then keto and ultimately a carnivore diet, Dr Brown is a passionate advocate for the beneficial impact of proper nutrition on overall health, with the aim of addressing the root cause of illness, not simply masking symptoms.  In July 2022 Dr Brown released her first book titled: “Metabolic Madness.” The subject of the book is the relationship between metabolic health and mental disorder and the book is designed to make the complex science behind this topic accessible to the everyday reader.  Find Dr. Brown on IG: @carnivoreshrink Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 02:26 Mental health disorders on the rise 03:59 Nutrition’s role in mental health 07:24 Mental crisis team 11:32 Foods problematic for mental health  12:38 Hospital food and mental health 14:15 Plant-based diet and mental health disorders 16:23 Physiology of mental health disorders; metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance; gut health 18:48 Screening for inflammation in mental health patients 20:18 Mental health improvements with diet 21:50 Having power to make change; metabolic psychiatry clinic 23:38 Having community support 25:04 Animal-based nutrition superior for mental health 27:45 Funding grassroots research for carnivore diet 28:19 Starting on the carnivore diet 31:49 Family and carnivore diet 35:01 Health benefits of carnivore diet 37:48 Restaurant scene in Edinburgh  39:10 Scottish guidelines 40:16 Low cholesterol, depression, violence 41:22 Insulin resistance contributing to chronic diseases 42:44 Medication side effects avoided with diet 44:04 How to wean off medications with improving diet 48:11 Financial incentive to change nutrition 50:19 Haggis 51:05 Book “Metabolic Madness” 53:16 Where to find Rachel  See open positions at Revero: https://jobs.lever.co/Revero/ Join Carnivore Diet for a free 30 day trial: https://carnivore.diet/join/ Book a Carnivore Coach: https://carnivore.diet/book-a-coach/ Carnivore Shirts: https://merch.carnivore.diet Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://carnivore.diet/subscribe/ . ‪#revero #shawnbaker #Carnivorediet #MeatHeals #HealthCreation   #humanfood #AnimalBased #ZeroCarb #DietCoach  #FatAdapted #Carnivore #sugarfree  ‪

Two Carnivore Doctors Batting A Thousand | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. Anthony Chaffee

Dr. Anthony Chaffee, MD is an American doctor specializing in Neurosurgery with a particular interest in how diet and nutrition affects overall health and chronic disease.  Dr. Chaffee has volunteered overseas as well. He is also an All American rugby player and was a professional player in England and America. He has seen first hand the massive role nutrition plays in the body's ability to perform at high levels and credits it for helping keep him playing rugby well into his 30s.

Clinical research is also a passion, and he is in the process of organizing clinical trials showing how a high-fat carnivore diet as a treatment modality can help or even reverse many of the so-called chronic diseases that we now face. He currently resides in Perth, Western Australia.
