Marc S. Micozzi, M.D. , Ph.D.
In his 40-year career, physician, medical anthropologist and epidemiologist Marc S. Micozzi M.D., Ph.D., has accomplished something no other physician has been able to achieve.
He thrust the STAGGERING PROOF of complementary alternative therapies in the faces of mainstream medicine AND DEMANDED ANSWERS. In fact, some of the world’s most recognized natural research–on things like lycopene, lutein, brassica vegetables, and excess iron–would not even exist without his courage to stand up for true science.
His medical career is all but unrivaled—especially given his vast and unique mixture of experience within mainstream medicine and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).
Dr. Micozzi was the founding editor-in-chief of the first US journal in Complementary and Alternative Medicine and organized and edited the first US textbook in the field, Fundamentals of Complementary & Integrative Medicine in 1996. He has published nearly 300 articles in medical literature and is the author or editor of over 25 books.
His experience made him the obvious choice to organize and chair continuing education conferences on the theory and practice of CAM and has even co-chaired with former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop (whom he has collaborated with in different fashions for nearly 25 years) in 1996 and Dr. Dean Ornish in 1998. He’s also one of the most effective spokesmen for CAM, contributing to the New York Times, Washington Post, Miami Herald, Chicago Tribune as well as NPR, Good Morning America, and CBS Evening News.
As the Senior Investigator of cancer prevention at the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Micozzi published the original research on diet, nutrition, and chronic disease. He continued this line of research as the Associate Director of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and Director of the National Museum of Health and Medicine.
He has served as the Executive Director of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia (the same state where he completed medical and graduate training at the University of Pennsylvania).
In recent years, Dr. Micozzi has served as the Founding Director of the Policy Institute for Integrative Medicine in Bethesda, MD, working to educate policy makers, the health professions, and the general public about the opportunities for integrative medicine and the need for clean, clear science within our modern medical establishment.
Bill Gottlieb, CHC
Bill Gottlieb, CHC (certified health coach), has been helping Americans prevent and heal disease for over 40 years.
He started his career as a writer and editor on Prevention magazine—at the time, America’s leading magazine on health and healing—from 1976 to 1982.
Then from 1982 to 1995, Bill was the editor-in-chief of Prevention Magazine Health Books and Rodale Books. During that time, he focused on creating content to help Americans understand the power of natural healing—helping them to stay healthy and, ultimately, reversing disease.
As a result, he created The Doctors Book of Home Remedies franchise, which has sold more than 20 million books. He also created and supervised several other bestselling titles that played a key role in America’s growing acceptance of non-drug therapies, including Healing Foods, Your Emotions and Your Health, Healing Herbs, and New Choices in Natural Healing.
After moving to California in 1995, Bill went on to write 16 health books, which have sold more than 3 million copies and been translated into 11 languages. His book, Alternative Cures, sold more than 2 million copies worldwide, including 250,000 copies in a Spanish-language edition.
Among Bill’s other books—some co-authored with leading natural physicians—are Breakthroughs in Drug-Free Healing, Speed Healing, The Natural Fat Loss Pharmacy (on science-supported supplements for weight loss), Finally Focused (a natural approach to treating ADHD), The Every-Other-Day Diet, Defeat High Blood Sugar—Naturally, and Real Cause, Real Cure.
Bill has also written countless articles on health for many leading magazines and periodicals, including Prevention, Men’s Health, Health, Reader’s Digest, Cosmo, Self, Bottom Line Health, and Bottom Line Personal.
Throughout his career, Bill has personally interviewed thousands of health professionals with a wide array of expertise. Medical doctors and naturopaths. Nutritionists and herbalists. Yoga therapists and masseurs. Researchers at Harvard, Stanford, the Mayo Clinic and other leading institutions. Practitioners in literally every area of medical care and natural healing. And in the process of these in-depth conversations, Bill discovered the very best practical ideas for health, healing, and longevity—making him America’s No. 1 Natural Health Coach.
In addition to the tens of millions of Americans he’s helped through his health books and articles, he’s also personally coached and counseled hundreds of clients, friends, and family members about personal health. He prides himself in helping people to employ the quick, simple actions that can truly make a significant difference in day-to-day health.
Bill is now offering the same natural health coaching services to the OmniVista Health family. We are honored to have the pleasure of working with him and are confident you will experience countless benefits as a result.
