Get to Know Your Crew - Michael S. Fenster

Michael Fenster, MD (Chef Dr. Mike)

CEO of  BRIDGMED

Michael S. Fenster

MD, FACC, FSCA&I, FRSM, MIANE, PEMBA, Member FIDES

Michael S. Fenster, MD, is amongst the only Interventional Cardiologists, Professional Chefs, and Professors of Culinary Medicine to be found anywhere. His Culinary Medicine program at The University of Montana is likewise amongst the first of its kind in the United States.

Through his Culinary Medicine university courses, speaking events, articles, books, personal outreach, television, and other media appearances, Chef Dr. Mike has become the voice of Culinary Medicine. He continues speaking worldwide as a recognized expert on food and health and is a sought-after keynote speaker. In addition to innumerable media appearances, Chef Dr. Mike, as he is informally known to friends and fans, has hosted his own PBS television show, House Calls with Chef Dr. Mike, and delivered a TEDx talk on Culinary Medicine.

BridgMed was forged from the vision of Chef Dr. Mike after he faced personal health issues that caused him to re-examine the interaction between food and health through the lens of the individual food experience. Building upon a diverse foundation of information theory and evidence-based study, he formulated an approach that, in many respects, was not only novel but often ran counter to much of the conventional food-health advice being dispensed at the time.

Decades later, Dr. Fenster is now acknowledged as one of the world leaders in the area of food and health. The World Health Organization has recognized him through the FIDES program as a food-health influencer and reliable source of data-derived information. The successes of his patients and other participants encourage him to carry on the further development and sharing of the Culinary Medicine method.

Developments like the NOVA food classification system developed at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, based on the level of food processing and studies from around the world utilizing it, help provide direct and incontrovertible evidence in support of the Culinary Medicine approach to food and health. It was in concert with those events that Dr. Fenster developed the Culinary Medicine program – meeting all the rigors and vettings of a university-level university course – at the University of Montana.

Dr. Fenster has spent the last several years determining the best way to bring the power of Culinary Medicine to the people who need it most. Years in development, the result is The Healing TableTM, a novel, person-centered, Internet-based software solution that gets to the heart of each of our individual relationships between the food we eat and our health, wellness, longevity, and happiness.

Won’t you join us at The Healing Table? It is a far richer feast than you could ever imagine.

Your Crew – Entrepreneur. Change-Maker. Trailblazer.

Ken Walsh’s education in biochemistry and subsequent MBA degree, both at Rutgers University, prepared him for the business side of healthcare.

His varied and diversified life experiences also prepared him for embarking on the exciting field of culinary medicine.

He worked as a quality control chemist before moving to supplier supervision, where he became a Certified Quality Engineer (CQE). After first transitioning into sales roles in the pharmaceutical industry, and then into the electronic medical records (EMRs) field, he began the development of Talksoft, a patient engagement and messaging company.

Serving as Talksoft’s president & CEO, Ken built an entire team, a complete service line of messaging services, and the operational structure to support its growth. He hired and trained sales and business development teams, taking the organization to a national leadership position. While under his leadership, Talksoft was acquired in July 2014, and the company achieved the ‘Best in KLAS’ ranking in Patient Outreach for the US by KLAS Research.

Ken moved on to work in healthcare IT consulting and communications with evolving companies, where he had extensive experience before founding Talksoft. He served two years on the HIMSS National Task Force for Patient Engagement, where he sought new ways to communicate with patients.

Ken is responsible for developing the IMBAS business model, its operations including sales, marketing, implementation, and support. The IMBAS business model begins with the objective of changing the course of debilitating diseases caused by poor diet.
