Meet Dr. Neal Barnard, President of PCRM

We are honored to have Dr. Neal Barnard with us to present his talk:

Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Food, Hormones, and Health

New scientific studies show that many health conditions caused by imbalances in our *hormones.*Thyroid hormone, insulin, estrogens, testosterone, and others—these are the hormones that control our bodies. If they are out of balance, you don’t feel well. It turns out that we can control these hormones surprisingly easily, based on the foods we eat. Dr. Barnard will discuss the concepts from his latest book, Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Food, Hormones, and Health, and show you how to put them to work.

Dr. Neal Barnard is president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and the author of a great many books on nutrition, including his latest, Your Body in Balance: The New Science of Food, Hormones, and Health. Dr. Barnard’s research, funded by the National Institutes of Health, paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many people. In his latest study, his research team found a way to knock out menopausal hot flashes for many women, using just a simple diet change.

Dr. Barnard is an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, DC, and a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology. In 2016, he founded the Barnard Medical Center in Washington, DC, as a model for making nutrition a routine part of all medical care.
