Dr Gabe Mirkin

He's been a physician for over 40 years, and has had a radio show for over 25 years, as well. He and his wife, Diana, not only write every report on DrMirkin.com, but they also practice what they preach, following a healthy eating plan and participating in marathons.

As Dr. Mirkin states, "Much of the health news you read comes from press releases which are generated by organizations that can afford public relations. That means you may hear most about research studies that are funded by companies with something to sell."

He is infinitely qualified to deliver useful medical news - he's board-certified in four specialties and is an associate professor at the Georgetown University School of Medicine, and has written eight books.

Dr. Mirkin doesn't rely on press releases; he goes directly to the medical journals. He frequently finds studies or spots trends in research that are ignored by the popular media.

"Gabe Mirkin's strategies are the healthiest, safest and most effective approach to controlling weight and improving blood cholesterol levels through diet and exercise. " -- Stephen Barrett, M.D., Editor Emeritus, Nutrition Forum Newsletter
