I am an internationally recognized expert, physician, scientist and author in the fields of nutrition, stress, fitness and public health. I am WebMD's lifestyle expert for their 90 million members and serve as chief medical correspondent for nutrition and fitness at Discovery Health TV, am featured on the award-winning National Body Challenge series and the host of the Could You Survive? series, based upon my national bestselling book Fit to Live. My latest book, The Hunger Fix: The 3 Stage Detox and Recovery Plan for Overeating and Food Addiction (Rodale, 2012), presents the new science of food and addiction, noting the latest NIH based research showing that food addiction is real. In The Hunger Fix, I present a plan for detox off the "false fixes" or addictive food products, and a blueprint for lifelong control and recovery by switching to "healthy fixes" and reclaiming the brain's hijacked reward center. The Hunger Fix is the first consumer book to present the science and plan and is a game changer in the field of weight management and healthy living. I hold the position of Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine, am board certified in internal medicine, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.
