Dr. Matt Calkins is a second-year family medicine resident at Wake Forest in Winston Salem, North Carolina. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in physics from the University of Florida. He subsequently matriculated and graduated from the University of Florida College of Medicine. He is working towards his SMHP accreditation and plans on being board certified in Obesity Medicine soon after finishing training.

Matt’s passion is centered on improving health and performance.  His initial interest in optimizing performance came from competing in weightlifting competitions and long-distance hiking, including a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in 2014. He has a particular interest in the processes around making changes accessible to his patients – including improving communication and education between clinicians and patients.

As the Chair of the Resources Committee for the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, Matt’s role is to curate resources on nutrition and metabolic health, and then work with medical students, residencies, and clinicians to integrate them into their educational programs and daily practices.

Dr. Laura Buchanan is a third-year family medicine resident at Wake Forest. She graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida and was a valedictorian of her class at the University of Florida College of Medicine.

The mission that drives her is to help people age successfully. She has been passionate about fitness and health since she was a young child. That passion was initially derived from a love of sports but has since evolved and expanded to include a passion for healthy living generally, including the importance of nutrition, exercise, mental wellness, and an optimal use of the medical system. She sees her role as a doctor being two-fold: promoting prevention and practicing medicine.

Since entering the field of medicine Laura has been interested in the intersections of longevity, metabolic health, lifestyle changes and chronic disease. She spends her free time taking deep dives into the latest research around diet, sleep and other factors that may impact metabolic health.

Laura is a certified metabolic health practitioner (MHP) and a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. She is a member of the Obesity Medicine Association and will be taking her board examination in the fall of 2022. She is also a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians, AOA and the Gold Humanism Society.

Doug Reynolds is the Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA^®.  The original organization was founded in the beginning of 2016 with the initial  intention of providing  a platform, through an annual conference, for internationally renowned scientists and medical practitioners to present the ever-increasing body of evidence on the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet (and adding in healthy fats).  He felt that education about the power of the low carb/ketogenic diet for the individual who may not get the information from their medical team or from mainstream nutrition advice, and for practitioners who may then be able to prescribe it in their practice was critical.

However, his mission quickly evolved when he realized how important this was to the medical professional community.  Valuable tools are needed, not only to provide hope to their patients to reverse and prevent disease but restore hope to that very practitioner. This is why they went to medical school and got professional training, to help people heal and not just put Band-Aids on and never address the root cause of the problem.  Too many practitioners are being taught that the many chronic diseases our communities are facing are just chronic and progressive.  With effective tools and supportive information, complications can be stopped in their tracks and further complications reduced and the disease process may even be reversed.

The tools and resources Low Carb USA has been providing,  not only includes the live conferences, but also  includes a huge library of educational videos, a growing database of practitioners, and nutritionists and sports trainers who are open to  the carb restriction conversation as well as a searchable database for papers and articles covering the research into the evidence supporting this lifestyle.

Most importantly, though, he has coordinated the establishment of a panel of advisors to oversee the creation and maintenance of a set of ‘Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction’ which was first published in May, 2019.

He has worked tirelessly over this period during the COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown to now establish this nonprofit, the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, and this organization will now house most of the above body of work as education and training of Metabolic Health Practitioners and the entire community interested in making a difference in worldwide metabolic health.  The aim is to stall and reverse the increasing prevalence of noncommunicable, lifestyle related diseases, influenced by metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance.  Accreditation pathways have even been established for practitioners within this society to introduce credibility to the practice of therapeutic carbohydrate restriction and to help establish alternative Standard of Care for those whose metabolisms are different because they don’t eat excessive carbohydrates.

Dr. Hampton is especially passionate about removing barriers to health and equipping patients and his colleagues with the education and resources they need to take charge of their health. He previously served as the medical director of the Advocate Operating System, where he collaborated with clinicians and staff on programs to address social determinants of health among at-risk patient populations. For example, for the Healthy Living program, he develops education around nutrition and weight loss that help patients set realistic and attainable goals. He’s also an ambassador for the program, encouraging his physician colleagues to refer their patients.

The same goes for the AdvocateCare Center (a place where patients receive multidisciplinary care in one visit), inspiring his colleagues to utilize the Center as a partner to help them manage their patients with multiple chronic diseases and improve their quality of life. He has also been instrumental in the launch of the Food Farmacy (that’s FARM-acy with an “F”) at Advocate Trinity Hospital to increase access to fresh, healthy food for patients and community members in need in partnership with the Chicago Food Depository. He is a board-certified obesity specialist, working with patients individually in the clinic and with small groups enrolled in the diabetes prevention program (D.P.P.). As one of only just over 3,000 Board Certified Obesity Medicine Specialists in the United States, he’s been able to use his knowledge to help develop and support programs that reduce the obesity burden.

He has participated in novel research, serving as the lead researcher for the Merck/Premiere-sponsored trial, where he worked in collaboration with other thought leaders to develop a point-of-care tool to be used by front-line physicians to improve diabetes care using patient data. In addition, he uses his experience as a clinician leader within one of the largest health systems and highest performing accountable care organizations in the US, Advocate Health Care, to provide input to all research phases and to guide data collection and management for the project.

He is a tireless leader and cheerleader for performance excellence, serving on A.M.G.’s Governing Council, Health Outcomes Committee, and Advocate’s Executive Diversity Council. His current role is Regional Medical Director for the South Region in Chicago. He authored the book: Fix Your Diet, Fix Your Diabetes, and is an active blogger on social media. His newest projects include creating more educational videos/interviews on YouTube and starting his Podcast in June 2020 entitled: Protecting Your N.E.S.T. with Dr. Tony Hampton.  His new website will be active June 2020 which provides access to all the work he is doing: www.doctortonyhampton.com

Dr. Gurpreet Singh Padda is a Medical Physician, Board Certified in Anesthesiology, Addiction and Interventional Pain.  For over 20 years he has practiced in the Urban Core, helping his patients regain their metabolic health.

Pain is the final pathway, the body screaming that something has gone terribly wrong.  Dr. Padda treats clinically patients at the intersection of the pain epidemic, opioid epidemic, and the diabetes epidemic.  They are all inter-related pathologies, the clinical manifestations of systemic metainflammation. 

I spend most of my clinical hours dealing with chronic degenerative diseases that are primarily driven by Metabolic Syndrome leading to Metainflammation.  Metabolic Syndrome is a form of malnutrition, a malnutrition of excessive energy consumption and toxicity from:

Acellular Carbohydrates

Synthetic Vegetable Oil consumption

This malnutrition of excess is aggravated by leaky gut from plant based chemical defenses. 

The Standard American Diet has become calorically dense, but diluted of protein, minerals, and micronutrients.  

Unfortunately, Governmental policy combined with the profit motives of Big-Food and Big-Pharma encourages the consumption of manufactured foods, which may be non-nutritive and promote chronic systemic diseases.  This disparity of synthesized food (which contains low nutritional value but high caloric load) leads to caloric over consumption, energy toxicity and eventual diabesity.

Addiction behavior is manipulated by dopaminergic modulation by food manufacturers and gamification of passive activities, in the context of individual loneliness.  Social media “connectedness” has created a false paradigm of human interaction, leaving individuals in silos of anonymous and self-destructive behavior.

Humans are complex adaptive systems, and systematic failure is rarely a single cause phenomenon.  Our historical disease models of single cause pathology are inadequate for this new synthesized Universe.

I turned 47 last Fall, and am super excited that I’ve found something that works to help me lose the weight that I’ve put on since turning 40 which, no matter what I did, I couldn’t lose.  I seemed to work out more than many of the people I encountered during my work day and was getting super frustrated with my failure to keep it under control.  I’ve also found peace of mind, feeling totally satiated and more focused than I’ve ever been!

I have a passion for helping people and have over 40 years’ experience in service-based environments including customer, employee, or marketing team support in either a healthcare diagnostic setting, hospital, doctors’ office, retail, and the corporate arena.  I always find pleasure in making an experience easier, and more worthwhile.

I also have extensive experience with hosting events and overseeing the day to day operations of a large organization. Now I’ll be doing it for something I’m really passionate about too!

With our commitment to put on events to share all the latest research with our growing community and with our coaching program we will be able to ‘Turn consensus on its head!!’  Won’t you join us and help make strides, one meal at a time, towards halting the catastrophic rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases that we’ve seen since 1977.

As a former NHS family doctor, Dr. David Jehring has transitioned to specialising in nutritional and environmental medicine, exploring the intricate connections between diet, lifestyle, and health. His approach combines comprehensive medical knowledge with a keen focus on how nutrition and environmental factors influence overall well-being. This year, he is organising a conference on Mental Health in London, bringing together leading researchers from the universities of Cambridge, Harvard, Edinburgh, and Washington to look at recent advances in nutritional interventions on brain health.

In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Jehring has made significant contributions to healthcare technology. As the CEO of Black Pear Software, he has been instrumental in developing systems that facilitate crucial health data sharing across the healthcare community. His expertise in patient care informed the creation of the UK’s first Windows-based GP clinical system and the first national primary care data analytics platform in 2000, which played a vital role in national research projects like the RCGP research unit.

Dr. Jehring’s work extends beyond the clinic and into the public health arena as Chair of Trustees for the Public Health Collaboration, a charity promoting metabolic health to reverse chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes. Through his interest in regenerative agriculture at his Worcestershire smallholding, he has developed an interest in the impact of soil health on human health and now runs an annual conference bringing together leading healthcare practitioners and regenerative farmers.

Dr. Tro Kalayjian, is a board-certified physician in both Internal Medicine and Obesity Medicine.  He lost 150lbs to reclaim his health for himself and his family.  He did it by ignoring much of the conventional medical advice he had been told.  His life’s goal is to get his patients healthy, prevent disease, and get them OFF their medications.  He completed medical school at TouroCOM in New York.  He completed his internal medicine residency and chief residency within the Yale system at Greenwich Hospital.  He has been practicing medicine for 8 years, the last 3 in private practice.  His practice focuses on tracking patients seamlessly and remotely with smart-devices, including scales, blood pressure cuffs, wearable technology and continuous glucose monitors.  His practice focuses on de-prescribing medications and using lifestyle, diet and exercise to improve the course of disease.

His personal weight loss story begins at childhood.  He grew up obese, in an obese family.  He has personally dealt with the deep emotions and feelings involved with being overweight for most of his life.  He has dealt with the same issues that many of his patients face, which affords him the capacity to empathize with them and guide them in a special way.  This connection is why his patients are successful in their wellness journey, because he is not preaching from some Ivory Tower.  He lived through what his patients live through, and he has experienced what they are experiencing.  In order to heal himself, he studied for countless hours through medical literature, researched thousands of papers, read hundreds of books in order to find the answer, for himself, to the ever important question: Why are we fat?

And what he found during his journey and research was in such stark contrast to what we have all been told.  Eating multiple small meals DOES NOT speed up your metabolism.  Fruit Juices ARE NOT healthy.  Red Meat, Fish & Full-Fat Yogurt ARE healthy.  If most physicians and nutritionists can’t get it right, why do we expect anything different from our patients?  Are we surprised that obesity epidemic has exploded?  What patients may not realize is that most physicians DO NOT have sufficient training in nutrition and can’t help you lose weight or reverse disease.  Furthermore the food industry and special interests have made it so hard to understand what a healthy lifestyle really is.

Ultimately, he finds he is best able to serve his patients because he understands what it is like, He has been through it, and he helps his patients every step of the way.  He succeeds when they succeed.

Dr. Jodi has been living a well-formulated ketogenic lifestyle for over 4 years. By eliminating carbs and sugar, the autoimmune condition that she suffered with for 13 years went into remission.  She no longer had to inject herself in the abdomen weekly.  After both researching and personally realizing the numerous benefits of low carb, she opened a private practice in Honolulu, HI based in ketogenic nutrition and cardiometabolic health. She has helped thousands of patients with their medical conditions from head to toe and works tirelessly to make keto a sustainable lifestyle in Hawaii.

Partnered with a Cardiologist, The Keto Prescription Clinic accepts 90% of insurance plans to be able to help all socioeconomic groups including Medicare and Medicaid. Dr. Jodi also holds unique menu collaborations with food companies such as Zippy’s Restaurants, 7-Eleven Hawaii, Big City Diner, Via Gelato, Feast, and others.  She has been featured on the radio, numerous podcasts, and TV shows in Hawaii where she advocates for a low carb lifestyle through education and showing the fun, delicious side of being healthy.

Tia is the Director of Nutritional Services, Certified Dietary Manager and Food Protection Professional at our local Critical Access Hospital.  Having been diagnosed with T2D, Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension, Obesity, Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver, Sleep Apnea as well as Adrenal Insufficiency and carbohydrate addiction, she realized it was high time she engaged in Self-Management of her chronic illnesses. She needed to, in effect, take action to improve her health to save her own life.

She adopted the mindset, through the guidance of Dr. Robert Cywes, that carbohydrates are an addiction in order to treat her T2D and metabolic syndrome. This is what saved her life. It was abundantly clear that she is a carbohydrate/sugar addict. Under the care of Dr. Cywes and support from everyone in the LowCarb Community, she has eliminated over 20 medications. She now has a passion for life and a desire to help others.

Tia has over 35 years of experience in service based environments., from owning a restaurant and Motel to currently working in a hospital setting as the Director of Nutritional Services.

Dr. Jerome–Zapadka is a native of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania.  She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pittsburgh School of Health Related Professions with a BS in Physical Therapy.  She received her Medical Degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, graduating with Honors, and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society.  She performed her Internal Medicine residency and subspecialty fellowship in Gastroenterology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, maintaining board certification in Gastroenterology.  She has been practicing Gastroenterology since 1993, joining Valley Gastroenterology Associates in 2000.  She is currently serving as President of the organization.  She maintains ties with her mentors at UPMC to bring their knowledge to her community setting.

She has always had a special interest in metabolic health,  obesity, and the medical complications associated with these entities, particularly Non–Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).  But it was after her own brush with Insulin Resistance, and her patient with end stage fatty liver disease and liver cancer asking her: “Dr., did I eat myself to death?”, that she knew she needed more answers than her training had provided.  She then achieved board certification in Obesity Medicine, but it was attending her first LowCarb USA meeting in 2019, as well as reading the book. “The Big Fat Surprise” by Nina Teicholz that truly changed the trajectory of her career.  She is now actively pursuing certification through the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners, (SMHP) where she is a founding member.

Aligned with these interests, Dr. Jerome–Zapadka developed and co-chairs the Metabolic Task Force at the Heritage Valley Health System.  This task force has brought together a diverse group of physicians, nurses,  nutrition specialists, education specialists, medical residents, and pharmacist.  Several short and long term goals have been developed related to education regarding metabolic health and therapeutic carbohydrate reduction(TCR), and to change the paradigm on how we view chronic disease, with an emphasis on disease reversal and drug de-escalation. A Metabolic Order Set is in development and now offers in-patients a low carbohydrate meal plan, that will be transitioned to the out-patient setting.  It is hoped that the task force may serve as a model for other institutions interested in change.

With the support from HVHS, and Joni Current from VGA, she developed the area’s first Pediatric Symposium, “All Hands On Deck,” a morning devoted to pediatric health.  There was a special emphasis on pediatric fatty liver disease and the role of the ultra-processed food diet. It was attended by staff from nearly every school district in the area.

She serves as a co-chair of the Fatty Liver Coalition of the Community Liver Alliance (formerly the American Liver Foundation), serves on the Board of Directors of NASH kNOWledge, and has recently aligned with the Global Liver Institute, all organizations devoted to raising awareness about NAFLD.  She speaks at numerous events for these organizations. Dr. Adele Hite joined Dr. Jerome- Zapadka on the Fatty Liver Coalition prior to her passing.

She is the Medical Director of the VGA Center for Obesity Medicine, where patients enroll in a structured, comprehensive program to improve metabolic disease, obesity and NAFLD, utilizing Therapeutic Carbohydrate Reduction, appropriate physical activity and behavioral changes.  Using FibroScan technology, progress can be tracked to document complete reversal of fatty liver.  The organization is active with teaching of medical students and Family Medicine residents where they learn about metabolic health, insulin resistance and NAFLD.  She recently teamed up with Dr. Mark Cucuzella to give a joint talk to the Family Medicine Residents.  Two PCOM medical students have developed a pilot project for their research requirement that involves screening self-perceived healthy patients for metabolic disfunction, then attempting to reverse this in a cost- effective setting with group teaching visits about metabolic dysfunction, TCR, physical activity and behavioral changes.  A quarter of the subjects screened had evidence of moderate to severe fatty liver.

She also serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Heritage Valley Health System and recently presented at the Board Retreat, a talk entitled “Insulin Resistance/Metabolic Dysfunction: A Root Cause Analysis”, educating Board members about metabolic disease and laying out the case that hospital nutrition is a Quality issue .

She is a member of the Pennsylvania Medical Society, the Beaver County Medical Society, the American Gastroenterology Association, and the American College of Gastroenterology with membership in process to the AASLD.  She is also a member of the Obesity Medicine Association and the SMHP as noted. She maintains certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. She has been voted a Top Doctor by Pittsburgh Magazine in 2021 and 2022.

Dr. Jerome–Zapadka’s personal interests include fitness, baking, tennis, and especially time spent traveling with family and friends,
