Bio/Research

Yoni Freedhoff, MD, is an assistant professor of family medicine at the

University of Ottawa, where he’s the founder and medical director of the Bariatric

Medical Institute—dedicated to non-surgical weight management since 2004. Deemed

a “nutritional watchdog” by the CMAJ, Dr. Freedhoff sounds off daily on his award-winning

blog, Weighty Matters, and is also easily reachable on Twitter. A sought after

international lecturer, Dr. Freedhoff’s ability to distill complex information

into media friendly soundbites along with his outspoken nature have also made

him an invaluable source to Canada’s health reporters and he’s become a fixture

in the media on matters pertaining to nutrition, obesity, and health related public

policy.  Dr. Freedhoff’s latest book Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work

will be published by Simon & Schuster’s Free Press in May 2013.
