Dr. Annie Fenn, MD

Physician and Chef

Dr. Annie Fenn is a physician, author, culinary instructor, mom, and daughter of a person living with Alzheimer’s. Her mission is to help you take care of your brain while still eating delicious food.


After practicing obstetrics and gynecology for more than 20 years, Dr. Fenn traded her stethoscope for a whisk and went back to school to study culinary arts in Mexico, Italy, and at the Culinary Institute of America. 


She is the founder of the Brain Health Kitchen, the only culinary school of its kind focused specifically on brain health and helping people prevent cognitive decline through food and lifestyle. She has taught more than a thousand students in hands-on classes (and many more online) to cook using the Brain Health Kitchen method. Her first book—The Brain Health Kitchen: Preventing Alzheimer’s Through Food (Artisan Books, January 2023)—is now available here and wherever books are sold. She packed all 400 pages with as much science and practical wisdom as possible, along with 100 easy, delicious recipes.
