Dr John R. Cripps MD FRCSC (Emeritus)

Toronto, ON, Canada

In university I studied a double major; physiology and biochemistry (BSc). Serendipitously I enrolled in medical school, began an internal medicine residency and subsequently worked as an emergency room physician in a trauma centre while sharing a family practice. I returned to complete an ophthalmology residency and spent 3 decades treating thousands of diabetics, macular degeneration patients and numerous other pathologies. I now have a better understanding for the proximate cause, resulting in the tsunami, of 22,000+ patients I struggled to attend to in my solo rural practice. Like other physicians trained in the allopathic model of medicine, prevention and nutrition, occupied precious few hours in the curriculum. Understanding the role of insulin resistance in " modern diseases of Western civilization" has allowed better skepticism, on my behalf, when evaluating "ingrained in stone medical dogma" pushed over the last 4 decades while vilifying any scientist who dared challenge conventional "expert opinion". Over my medical career I insisted that all support healthcare workers and patients call me by my first name. I enjoyed teaching medical students, residents, medical colleagues and nurses; basically anyone who showed an interest in education; I thrive on being a lifelong learner.

Debi Cox

Nutrition Network Advisor

Southampton, UK

Hi my name is Debi Cox I am a fitness teacher and owner of a Debi Cox Health and Wellness. At the end of 2018 I observed two good friends, one of them is a nurse, embark on a Low Carb/ Healthy Fat/ Keto way of eating. Their body shape started to change and they lost weight but what I really noticed was they ate the most amazing food (nicer than mine) and had increased energy levels………. Who doesn’t want to eat great food, lose weight and have more energy?? I wasn’t really overweight but since starting my menopause I had increased fat around my stomach and definitely had brain fog!!!  I had accepted these things and thought it was part of the process my body was going through and there was nothing I could do about it. I adopted the eating plan with caution as it turned everything I’d ever been taught about food/eating on its head. Very quickly I started to feel amazing……it felt like my brain fog had cleared, my energy levels soared, I started to lose weight and my body shape began to change all of this whilst eating the nicest food ever !!! I have never felt so well and I realised that I wanted to share this with as many people as possible. I took the decision in January 2020 to qualify as a Low Carb/ High Fat Adviser with the Nutrition Network . I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made……….now it’s time to share all that I have learnt!

Not only did I lose the extra weight, I got back to performing at my best. Throughout the process of adapting to this lifestyle change, I discovered my passion for health and wellness.

Ioana Bichut

Nutrition Network Advisor

Montreal, QC, Canada

I have fought many health battles in my life. In 2018 I adopted the intermittent fasting and LCHF diet and I experienced tremendous benefits. I feel better now in my 50s than in my 30s. No one expects to get better as time goes by! I read and researched extensively to understand the science behind those amazing results. My experience had a strong impact on my relatives and friends. In adopting my lifestyle and following my advice, they succeeded in not only losing weight but also in curing or improving very serious health conditions as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, asthma, aortic valve stenosis. Having been able to help people who suffer so much gave me a strong drive to learn more and give hope to people who cannot be healed by mainstream medicine. The NN Advisor Training provided me with the right tools to help more people. In addition to being a LCHF Advisor, I hold a Master in Economics from University Sorbonne in Paris and a Financial Planner Diploma from HEC Montréal. You can contact me at [email protected]

Karen Magallanes

Maple Ridge, BC, Canada

After reading the Art and Science of Low carb Living in 2013 I began my own journey of weight loss and better health. Since that time I've been submerged in learning about diet and lifestyle. My career as an RN began in 1997. My focus since 2002 has been in nephrology and hemodialysis and I have seen first hand the devastation Type 2 diabetes can cause. When a friend was diagnosed with T2D I accompanied her to the classes offered by our local health authority and was appalled at what was being taught. Armed with new information from Professor Tim Noakes and Dr Jason Fung's books confirmed in my head what was wrong with the way these classes were telling people how to manage their diabetes. I knew sharing this information could stop people from ending up on dialysis because of T2D. My career needed to change direction and prevention was going to be it! My path to becoming a diabetic educator began with some formal diabetes education required by my employer and almost ended immediately when I was told by my colleagues not to discuss low carb despite patients asking about it. When I recommended Dr Fung's books to my patients as a resource I thought I might be asked to leave. It was this moment I realized my lofty goals of sharing my cutting edge knowledge was rather naive. Clearly I was not going to be a good fit to teach diabetes education if I couldn’t give low carb, keto, fasting or any other options that were not in line with the current guidelines. The public is becoming aware of other options and my goal is to bring those options to them not hide them. More recently my research has been looking at diet as a therapeutic tool in other autoimmune and metabolic issues since I have seen remarkable healing in myself for same. I’m certain with my experience living LCHF and fasting I’m an expert in weight loss (100lbs) and I continue to dive down many rabbit holes in search of new information studies and anything that will keep me up to date. I am passionate about spreading the word and sharing what I have learned with others particularly with other health care providers so they too can help their patients understand that our lifestyle and what we eat or not eat can truly bring better health.

Lenny Fattore

Nutrition Network Advisor

London, UK

I enrolled in Nutrition Network Advisor course, 2 months after my mum has passed away from Alzheimer’s. I set up at the same time my biggest challenge yet: following a strict ketogenic diet for one month and, at the end, running a Tough Mudder — a 10-mile run with 25 obstacles — to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. I ended up losing 9 kg (20 lb) in just one month without changing my workout pattern. But even better, the keto diet helped me burn all my belly fat, leaving me leaner than ever. At this point, I had an epiphany, and for the first time, realised the impact of nutrition on weight, body shape and health. I documented my journey, wrote a book and created with my wife, who is professional dancer and fitness coach, a program to help people to lose weight and improve health. The program will be launched beginning of 2021. Our method saved my wife's 60-year-old mum when a chronic disease brought her to the brink of death. Despite undergoing treatment for a lung cancer 2 years ago (lobectomy and radiotherapy), Jenny’s mum lost 5 kgs (11 lbs), burnt a lot of fat and reclaimed her life by following our method. She now goes running outside and easily looks 15 years younger than her age. Recently, her doctor declared her disease-free!

Lisa Simmons

Tennessee, USA

I became a nurse 23 years ago to help people. Healthcare has changed and I felt like I was not being fulfilled. I have also struggled with my weight since I was a teen. I had found out about low carb just by chance. I had heard of Atkin's years ago but heard it would hurt my kidneys so never tried it. I am a carboholic. I have started keto and am having great success. I am still a work in progress but have found something I am truly passionate about. I have read, watched videos, talked with MD's and have surrounded myself with like minded people. I realize now that I have knowledge that can actually change lives and help people reverse their chronic illness. I have completed the Nutrition Network Professional Training in LCHF/Ketogenic Nutrition & Treatment Training. You can reach me on: 615-680-9270

Liz Ford

Timaru, New Zealand

Liz is a nutritionist and dietitian and has been working in this field in New Zealand for over 25 years. She says that she chose this career as she has always believed that what we eat determines our health and well-being. Her goal has been to support both her family and her clients with eating well to gain and maintain their health. Nutrition science and practice is changing and she is excited to be able to offer clients guidance in this new way of eating. The latest science supports the importance of eating whole real foods. In a way this isn’t new but very similar to how humans would have eaten centuries ago. One of the biggest challenges we face in today’s health environment is the growing problem of obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. These are the common concerns of her clients. It has become clear that our standard diet for dealing with these issues (low fat and high grains and carbohydrates) is not working. We also now know that recommending this low fat diet with an increase in cardio exercise is not helpful for most people, and does not help them gain health or lose weight. She now recommends an approach that is based on eating whole real foods and is generally lower in carbohydrates and higher in healthy fats (LCHF). Liz advocates avoiding all highly processed foods and foods and drinks that are high in sugars. The best foods for us are those grown locally, are in season and have as little processing as possible. She encourage her clients to cook their own food at home and grow their own vegetables where possible. Both myself and my family have found many health benefits since changing to LCHF.
