Metabolic Multiplier regularly teams up with others to support other Metabolic Health Advocates.

Projects supporting “Low-Carb leaders”
We are deeply honored that so many luminaries in the metabolic health field have been kind enough to contribute to our knowledge either through a meeting, providing a quote, or a year long apprenticeship. We thank you for also being Metabolic Multipliers!
Tony Hampton, MD
After hearing Tony Hampton, MD as a podcast guest I posed my usual question, “How can I help you succeed.” He tells a very funny story about discussing my “cold email” with his wife and whether he should respond. I encouraged him to focus on metabolic health, tackle issues of culture and color, and I connect him with podcast guests periodically. Personally, I find Tony and Chris Palmer particularly insightful on metabolic health, probably because the populations often need a basket of metabolic interventions to improve rather than just diet. Tony’s Protecting your NEST podcast is well worth a listen. I (Cecile) was honored to be interviewed for episode 65.
Richard Feinman, PhD
An early leader in the space, I helped Dr. Feinman upgrade his websites and he kindly called me his “web psychiatrist.” In turn he also sowed the seeds for Save time! 3 metabolic health research portals, although it took me several years, and our Organizing Research team to realize his dream.
My husband and I introduced Brian Lenzkes, MD & Kristin Baier, MD, who formed a partnership in metabolic health care, Low Carb MD San Diego. I built their practice’s initial website, after thoroughly surveying other direct primary care practices for messaging, offerings and pricing. Brian is an “old soul” and gives so much to so many, including through the Low Carb MD podcast. He & Nick Norwitz have been very generous about our contribution, including during their interview on “Life’s Best Medicine” podcast.
Chris Palmer, MD
My Metabolic Multiplier co-founder, Christie, & I were honored to apprentice with Chris Palmer, MD for a year starting in 2019. I built out his website and we repurposed his tweets to other social platforms. Most Saturday mornings we spent 3 hours with Chris listening, learning, & collaborating. He kindly enabled us to attend 5 of Harvard’s continuing education conferences for mental health professionals that he organized. Let me clearly credit Christie Barnett, APN (30 years as a psychotherapist) and Chris Palmer, MD (psychiatrist) for what I’ve learned about mental & metabolic health!
Jeff Volek, PhD, RD
Dr. Volek was gracious enough to attend our first 3 team meetings for “Promoting Metabolic Health for the military and veterans” and to thank us for the invitation.
After watching the Nutrition Coalition struggle to change the USDA dietary guidelines, I pulled together a military and veterans teams to strategize supporting those federal practitioners and how other major research projects have gotten funded. I cold-emailed Jeff Volek, PhD and he kindly attended our first 3 strategy meetings with a DARPA project manager, former nuclear submarine captain, veterans & practitioners. He has since made it happen! What a great Metabolic Multiplier and mensch!
