In a regular visit to a local health store Dr. Liebermann noticed a flyer advertising an upcoming lecture. The small store would often share workshops and speakers whose work in areas of health and wellness found intrigue in the community. “Hi Ron!” called the store owner to Dr. Liebermann. “A great speaker”
he said nodding toward the flyer and walked toward him to chat. As usual in his community, Dr. Liebermann’s known friendliness, ready story and often a joke, would bring conversation and mutual interest alongside his varied interests and scientific acumen. “I always learn something” his doctors would say with a smile and understanding of the curiosity infused discussion. Dr. Liebermann would gratefully respond “solutions come when strong minds think together”.
This motto is as much style as it is representative of substance. Raanan Liebermann often shares this inquisitive based search for solution oriented thinking in a wide array of conversation whether personal, business or an innovative space merging between the two. It is not unusual to find inspiration in a question someone poses which causes his own thinking and soon thereafter application to whichever area he has taken on learning. With a Ph.D. in astrophysics it is perhaps not unusual to find stimulation in academic consideration and stretching the palette of what is known.
Raanan Liebermann is the President of Signtel Inc., which uses artificial intelligence to design and create technology for deaf/blind persons. The company is based on Dr. Liebermann’s innate interest to help ease the lives of persons with disabilities. A natural offshoot of this driving motivation is his personal interest in medical research and easing the burdens of people whose wellbeing is affected.
A believer of asking questions as the strongest indicator of a thorough answer Dr. Liebermann’s probing curiosity is as much his modus operandi as it fuels his encouragement of those around him to pursue research and stretch thinking toward new findings and their application. As we learn we think and when we think we inspire ourselves further is his repurposed adage of the time old “which came first” between chicken and egg ponderance. A scientist first and foremost, this inclination to study and question before theorizing and applying possible solutions is as much a tool of understanding the world as it is his natural wiring. As much a lifestyle as his education. And it serves his professional and personal interests on a daily basis. Student as much as teacher Dr. Liebermann believes in science as a way of life, a method of absorbing the intricacies of our understanding and combining the two into the grandest unknown of all: future possibilities.
Long an academic with a passion for innerworkings of people, Dr. Liebermann’s lean toward innovation lends itself to an interest in cognitive understanding of nourishment and the body’s instinctive and capable restoration of its health and cadence. Utilizing ongoing research both medical and theoretical and an ability to synthesize and question findings in medical journals, Dr. Liebermann combines curiosity about foods to build natural disease resistant resources as he taps into techniques enabling the body to
resolve difficulties in tactile and accessible ways. In applying research and its synthesis to cater to a person’s individual needs, Dr. Liebermann’s investment is both meaningful and necessary.
What began as a theoretical curiosity and self-oriented inquiry soon evolved into a passion project. As members of his family and eventually friends, colleagues and his own doctors would find, the practical and precocious repurposing of foods and their combinations would bring Dr. Liebermann initial skepticism before enough cautious curiosity to ask their own doctors’ permission to try his suggestions and eventually wide eyed gratitude at their results and relief.
It is in this way that Raanan Liebermann resolved his own arthritic hand pains and began to take great care in what he ingested and why. Actions as elementary as a family dinner began to be prefaced by a series of intake questions surrounding amounts of garlic used, presence of sugar and other variations of ingredients which lent themselves to necessary consideration. The alkaline nature of lemons and their host of preventative properties would soon begin each day; inclusive of zest to juice. The ph scale of foods in their natural state would become as much a reference as the scientific periodic table of the elements. It is a pure bonus that as a scientist Dr. Liebermann’s innate love of food is as much omnipresent in his endeavors to understand chemistry of cause and effect as his penchant to apply his learnings.
Professionally, the constructive foundation of a company built to help the under acknowledged connects easily to a hobby of personal interest. Born of a desire to increase and ease people’s wellbeing Dr. Liebermann uses a natural ability to research and identify collaborative elements to affect health in a sphere of foods and natural resources. It is truly a passion project. Such a thorough and analytical application is a natural continuation of professional achievement of working to bring innovative tools to the underserved. This desire to ease burdens for others – through technology solutions and natural resources results in an intriguing merge of business and personal worlds.
With keeping the body in as much its optimal functioning mode as possible and its inherent disease prevention, Dr. Liebermann’s interest also focuses on application of potentially supportive treatments alongside guidance of medical professionals. Building on a curiosity sewn of an interest in medical school courses preceding his doctorate in astrophysics he takes learning seriously and the academic challenge is welcome: understanding and applying natural foods and resources to see whether it could be possible to stabilize the body and its possible disease difficulty through recalibrating whichever area is affected. Always with a thoughtful instruction to whoever is asking to absolutely consult with the physician in charge.
Between his understanding of nutrients and their natural chemical properties, an ability to identify potential resources to ease a situation and a whole hearted desire to enable a person to feel strong and whole, Dr. Liebermann’s passion project has earned him eager ears and note takers. With a connection
to people at his core, this is perhaps the most significant motivator for his contribution. A close second is the ever present academic appetite to learn and disseminate knowledge wherever possible.
As friends tell friends and his own doctors listen to his desire to consult in his own care the little passion project evolved. Whether utilizing foods in various elements, factoring in time for optimal oxygenation, inherent spice properties, tea and intentional combinations to enable bio available properties of whichever nutrient he would like to activate, word of mouth brings people to ask for his advice as much as he loves sharing it. As he speaks and consults with his doctors and encourages others to consult with their own, possible ideas continue to emerge which lean more on nature and less on medicine. As western medicine so often proclaims of itself as being reactive rather than preventative, finding new avenues to prevent problems and progress health is itself a win.
To combine a scientific mind with a channel often kept clinical and reactive is eye opening as is a consideration of bringing theoretical application to the forefront of treatment. Always alongside traditional practice but as every science asks of itself, evolution is the goal; the process is merely where ideas navigate.
Built on Hippocrates’ belief of “let food be thy medicine” and working in tandem with medical practitioners widens each scope of consideration and brings an academic element to stretch established practices. Often sharing insight and arming friends and colleagues with directive questions to ask their own doctors is as rewarding as it is stimulating. Both in use of preventative care, clinical visits and recuperation of a person’s unique situation the vibrant collective conversation often results in a broader perspective.
