Nina Teicholz
Nina Teicholz, a science journalist, is author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat–especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease.
Nina is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that nutrition policies are transparent, evidence-based—work for which she’s been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate.
Nina is a graduate of Stanford and Oxford Universities and previously served as associate director of the Center for Globalization and Sustainable Development at Columbia University.
Nina lives in New York City with her husband and two sons.

Nina’s Top Tips
If you are looking at a study and it says “linked to” or “maybe connected to” that is a headline or study to just turn the page and move on.
There is a lot of discussion from doctors about higher protein, in a low carb diet with combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT) and/or weight lifting.
Wearing a constant glucose monitor (CGM) is one of the most illuminating ways to understand how your body responds to carbohydrates.
