MARY T. NEWPORT, M.D., grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was educated at Xavier University and University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. She is board certified in pediatrics and neonatology, and she completed her training at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati and Medical University Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina. She practiced neonatology in Florida for thirty years and was the founding medical director of two newborn intensive care units in the Tampa Bay area. More recently, Dr. Newport has practiced at the opposite end of the spectrum, providing care for hospice patients in the Tampa Bay area for nearly three years and in-home health risk assessments thereafter. She writes and speaks in the United States and around the world on ketones as an alternative fuel for the brain for Alzheimer’s and other disorders.

"The third edition is packed with more information and references. The late Dr. Richard Veech, our mentor, would have been proud of Dr. Newport. Dr. Newport has a viewpoint from a practicing physician with the great talent to communicate complex subjects in simple terms that the layman and professional could appreciate. This copy is a must for all medical doctors who want to understand the role of fatty acids in metabolism of a coming epidemic of Alzheimer’s disease. I only wish that she would write a complete book on cholesterol and its truths, myths, and the use of statin drugs!” —Dr. George Yu, founder of the Yu Foundation for Nutrition, Metabolism, and Health
