Brain Ritual Team

Brain Ritual was founded by Dr. Elena Gross, a neuroscientist, PhD in clinical research and most importantly - a former chronic migraine sufferer. The lack of tolerable and efficacious treatment options for migraine led her to pursue a MSc in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford and a PhD in Clinical Research at the University of Basel, with the goal of having better understanding of this common and debilitating disease and ultimately improving clinical care.

Dr. Gross is the inventor of four patents. Her migraine research papers have been published in high-ranking journals, such as Nature Neurology. She is particularly passionate about the benefits of ketosis and other nutritional interventions, the role of mitochondrial functioning and energy metabolism in brain health & neurological diseases (particularly migraine), as well as increasing our health span via disease prevention.
