Mary Newport, MD

Mary Newport, MD, owner of Spring Hill Neonatology, Inc., is a physician, book author, and international speaker on the subject of ketones as an alternative fuel for the brain for Alzheimer's and other disorders. Dr. Newport graduated from Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio, and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. She trained in pediatrics at Children’s Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in neonatology at the Medical University Hospital in Charleston, South Carolina. She practiced neonatology, the care of sick and premature newborns, for thirty years and was the founding medical director for two newborn intensive care units in the Tampa Bay area of Florida . More recently, she practiced at the opposite end of the spectrum, providing home hospice care and health risk assessments. In 2008, a ketogenic nutritional intervention with coconut and medium-chain triglyceride oil dramatically helped her husband Steve Newport, who had early-onset Alzheimer's disease, resulting in nearly four better quality years. Her husband lost his battle in 2016 and Dr. Newport carries on his legacy through speaking and writing. Her fourth book "Clearly Keto for Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer's Prevention" focuses on a whole-food ketogenic Mediterranean-style diet, including coconut and MCT oil, and other lifestyle modifications to help maintain brain health and prevent Alzheimer's and other dementias. The third edition of her first book was released in September 2023, "Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure? The Story of Ketones". Her other books include, "The Coconut Oil and Low Carb Solution for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, an d Other Diseases", and "The Complete Book of Ketones: A Practical Guide to Ketogenic Diets and Ketone Supplements".
