Philadelphia.

My first book,
Secrets of Serotonin, was published by St.
Martin's Press in 1996 and went through eight
printings. A revised, updated edition will be published by St. Martin's in April of 2008.
professional writing
My latest book, Good Food Tastes Good:
An Argument for Trusting Your Senses and Ignoring the Nutritionists (SpringStreet Books, October 2007), is about the
complexity of food versus the simplicity of the standard
nutrition advice. It gives the evidence to say that taste is a highly evolved
and fundamentally reliable guide to nutritional quality—much more reliable,
in fact, than reading labels.
not so professional writing
I write and edit news articles, review articles, conference proceedings, and patient/physician education materials for a variety of clients and publications ranging from consumer print media to physician and patient organizations to pharmaceutical companies.
