Cooking for Better Brain Health
Annie Fenn, MD
Dr. Annie Fenn is a Board-Certified Obstetrician/Gynecologist who specialized in Menopausal Health for over 20 years. She retired from clinical practice to teach people how to cook and eat with brain healthy foods. “Cooking is the best way I know, as a physician,” she says, “to radically improve health.”
After retiring from medical practice, Dr. Fenn trained under chefs in Italy, Mexico, and at the Culinary Institute of America. In 2017, she created Brain Health Kitchen, the only cooking school of its kind to focus on preventing Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Brain Health Kitchen has been described as part hands-on cooking class, part medical consultation, and part of the solution to wipe out Alzheimer’s disease.
Dr. Fenn teaches Brain Health Kitchen cooking classes throughout the U.S. and abroad. She lectures internationally about how to prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementias with lifestyle interventions. She created the website brainhealthkitchen.com to share brain-nourishing recipes and the latest information about dementia prevention.
Dr. Fenn serves on the Medical and Scientific Advisory Council of the Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation. She is on the faculty of Sempre Sano, a wellness retreat in Tuscany, Italy. And she is a regular Visiting Chef at Rancho la Puerta in Tecate, Mexico.

At the Salon:
Dr. Fenn addressed the evolving science of what to eat to fend off Alzheimer's and other dementias; why she considers brain healthy eating to be a lifestyle rather than a diet; and which foods are especially good for the brain. She demonstrated how to make a few of her favorite dishes using brain-friendly cooking techniques.

Great presentation! Such vital information about what to eat for better brain health!

[@annfenn7080]

Thank you! I would love it if everyone had the information they needed to eat for brain health. Please share!

It's a wonderful presentation and it's much appreciated

Actually, dr. Gundry's plant paradox diet was instrumental in improving my health for the better. All my life I had bloating and severe inflammation of the gut. I had gotten rid of old gluten, bed when I got rid of the lectins everything changed and the inflammation started to recede... To say

Regarding the slide at the 10m mark, on why more women are diagnosed with Alzheimer's than men.. perhaps the AD plaques are an immune-system response, and since women also get auto-immune diseases at a higher rate, perhaps they are related. It may partially explain why an over-active immune system in women may be responsible for fewer cancer and infectious diseases compared to men.

[@annfenn7080]

Ben, you touch on a key area of research. Women's immune systems are different than men's, most likely because they need to be so to protect a pregnancy. Women who are APOE4 positive (the late onset risk gene for Alzheimer's) are also more susceptible to the effects of inflammation. There is much research focused on teasing out these issues so stay tuned in the next few years as we hopefully figure it out.

Loved this! Surprised to hear that omega 3 oil supplements have not been proven to support brain health!
