On March 6, 2008, Dr. Manison was happy to welcome Darrell Tanelian, MD, Ph.D., one of the foremost specialists in molecular biology and nutrition, to a lecture at Linden Hall in Ellicott City, Md.

Many of Dr. Manison’s patients were treated to a 1.5 hour presentation and 1.5 hour question/answer session regarding the Molecular Fitness Lifestyle™. Dr. Tanelian, a board certified anesthesiologist/pain management specialist and Ph.D. in Neuroscience (electrophysiology and biophysics) has published over 30 medical papers and has developed a revolutionary lifestyle system.
