- I was born in a little farm town on the wind-swept prairies of Southern Alberta, Canada. Being the ninth of 13 children, I quickly learned essential life lessons—eat quickly, shower quickly, don’t insult seven older brothers, but if an insult is necessary, run quickly.
After my mission in Samara, Russia, I came to BYU. My pathway in academia began with my fascination with the body’s adaptations to exercise. I continued on this path for my doctoral studies at East Carolina University with Dr. Lynis Dohm. However, during this time, my interests shifted—rather than exploring the adaptations to exercise, I focused on the adaptations to and progression of obesity. Following a postdoctoral fellowship with the Duke-National University of Singapore Medical School in Singapore with Dr. Scott Summers, I accepted a position in the PDBIO department at BYU.
My research interests at BYU continue my interests in the causes and consequences of obesity with particular emphasis on insulin resistance.

Dr. Michael Greger also has lots of sources documenting his conclusions.
Their approach is different, and thus they come up with different recommendations. Dr. Michael Greger is concerned about heart disease, the number one killer of adults in the industrialized world.
This book is concerned with avoiding insulin resistance, which is another disease state prominent in the modern world.
And, thus they come up with different recommendations. I like them both.… (meer)
