Advisory Board
 Dr. Barry Sears is a leading authority
in the field of dietary control of hormonal response.
A former research scientist at the Boston University School of Medicine and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Sears has dedicated his research efforts over
the past 25 years to the study of lipids. He
holds 12 U.S. Patents in the areas of intravenous drug delivery systems and hormonal
regulation for the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
The widespread understanding of the revolutionary impact of Dr. Sears’ work in
dietary control of hormonal response began with the publication of his landmark book, The Zone. The Zone has sold more than a million and a half
hardcover copies, becoming a #1 best seller on the New
York Times book list. Dr. Sears’
latest book, The Omega Rx Zone, may well be
his most important book as it explores the foundation of chronic disease and how high-dose
fish oil can dramatically reverse it. As
a result of his impact on nutrition and health, Dr. Sears is featured frequently in
national media such as 20/20, Today, Good Morning America, CNN and USA Today.
