Reclaim Your Brain: Keynote Presentation May 8, 2019, London, UK Robert Lustig, MD, MSL, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of California, unravels how the brain’s ‘reward’ system has been hijacked by junk food and technology, leading to the twin epidemics of addiction and depression. Dr. Lustig is the author of the New York Times best selling book Fat Chance: The Bitter Truth About Sugar, as well as his most recent book, The Hacking of The American Mind: The Science Behind the Corporate Takeover of Our Bodies and Brains. Part of the Food for the Brain Seminar Series. https://www.foodforthebrainseminars.com

Nutrient Density. Protein Leverage. Nose to Tail... We want simple heuristics to help us figure out how to eat to meet our health goals, but some metrics are not what they seem. Find the hidden flaws lurking in these common guidelines.

The final track from the conference with questions to the afternoon panel

Siobhan has been following a ketogenic diet since August of 2016, and a primarily carnivorous diet since October 2017, losing 80 lbs, and gaining a passion for research, along the way. She now works full time alongside Dave Feldman at CholesterolCode.com. Through a mixture of self-experimentation and research, she has dedicated herself to unraveling the mysteries of cholesterol metabolism and health, as well as showcasing the value of citizen science.

Dave Feldman is a senior software engineer, entrepreneur and a citizen scientist. He began working with programming and system engineering at a very young age and has always enjoyed learning new mechanistic patterns and concepts. After starting a low carb diet, Dave found his cholesterol numbers increased considerably. He then began reverse engineering the lipid system through self-experimentation and testing, finding it was very dynamic and fluid. He has now demonstrated this phenomenon multiple times by moving his cholesterol up and down substantially in a matter of days. He’s discovered similar reproducible patterns in others and hopes that this pilot research will lead to fully funded research in the near future. He is a public speaker and shares his findings and knowledge.

Shawn Baker, M.D., is a surgeon, athlete, and advocate of zero-carb eating. He was a power lifter, played rugby, and competed in the Highland Games earlier in life, and now at the age of 50, he holds world records in indoor rowing.

Dr. Georgia Ede, MD, is a Harvard-trained, board-certified psychiatrist based in Northampton, Massachusetts, USA. Her interest in nutrition arose after discovering a new way of eating that reversed several bewildering health problems she had developed in her early 40′s, including fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome and IBS. Dr. Ede acquired her bachelor’s in biology from Carleton College in Minnesota. Then for seven years she worked as a research assistant in the fields of biochemistry, diabetes and wound healing. She earned her M.D. from the University of Vermont and completed her residency in general adult psychiatry at Cambridge Hospital in 2002. After five years in general practice, she joined Harvard University Health Services from 2007 to 2013 as a staff psychopharmacologist and was the first psychiatrist there to offer nutrition consultation as an option to students, faculty and staff with mental health concerns. From 2013 to June 2018 she was the psychiatrist for Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she provided nutrition consultation as well as medication and psychotherapy services to Smith students. Now Dr. Ede devotes all of her time to nutritional psychiatry and directs her efforts on studying, writing, and speaking about the strong scientific connection between food and brain health. She provides nutrition consultation services to those wishing to improve their mental health through diet as well as to clinicians who would like to implement dietary strategies into their practice.

After obtaining a degree from the University of Leeds in English and Philosophy, Nick Mailer co-authored the first book in the United Kingdom on the education possibilities of the Internet. He co-founded The Positive Internet Company, UK’s premier open-source managed services organisation. He also founded the Campaign for Unmetered Telecommunications and has spoken at conferences on the nexus of culture, technology and semiotics. Since 2010, Nick has adopted a paleo-ish LCHF lifestyle, to which he nevertheless applies a multidisciplinary scepticism. He lives in London with his wife, daughter and cat.

Dr. Ballerstedt earned his bachelors and masters degrees at the University of Georgia and his doctorate at the University of Kentucky. He has an extensive background in forage production, utilization and forage-based livestock production systems and was the forage extension specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 until 1992. Dr. Ballerstedt communicates the messages that the optimal human diet health is grass-based not grain-based, and that the only truly sustainable form of agriculture is the production of livestock products from grazed forages. He is a transition agent standing between consumers and producers, hoping to: help them improve their health; change how they each think about nutrition; help producers make changes in their production practices; help Oregon become a leader in grass-based livestock production.

L. Amber O’Hearn is a data scientist by profession with a background in math, computer science, linguistics, and psychology. She has been studying and experimenting with low-carb, ketogenic diets since 1997, and more recently writing and speaking about her findings. Her review on the evolutionary appropriateness and benefit of weaning babies onto a meat-based, high fat, low carb diet, was included as testimony defending Professor Tim Noakes in his recent trial. Amber has been eating a plant-free diet since 2009.

Miki Ben-Dor is a postdoctoral fellow at the department of Archaeology of Tel Aviv University, researching the relations between Paleolithic human nutrition and human evolution.

A fascinating conversation with Dr. Joan Ifland and Dr. Robert Lustig at the UCSF AME Center. "I thoroughly enjoyed my recorded interview with Dr. Joan Ifland - It is rare to find someone who is as knowledgeable as her in the field of food addiction, and her book "Processed Food Addition: Foundations, Assessment, and Recovery" provides the most extensive literature review on the subject - a valuable resource. I'm also impressed with her work engaging online communities consisting of people suffering from food addiction. Dr. Ifland makes the case for processed food addiction using the science.” - Dr. Robert Lustig
