Patrick Holford is a leading light in new approaches to health and nutrition. He is widely regarded as Britain's best-selling writer and leading spokesman on nutrition, food, environmental and health issues, hence being frequently quoted in national newspapers and a presenter, interviewer and guest on national television.
He started his academic career in the field of psychology. While completing his bachelor degree in Experimental Psychology at the University of York he researched the role of nutrition in mental health and illness and later tested the effects of improved nutrition on children's IQ - an experiment that was the subject of Horizon documentary and led to his first TV appearance in 1987.
In 1984 he founded the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION), a charitable and independent educational trust for the furtherance of education and research in nutrition, now the largest training school in the UK for nutrition consultants and widely respected as a leading edge organisation by professionals and media alike. In 2003 he founded the Brain Bio Centre, a treatment centre pioneering the optimum nutrition approach for mental health.
Through his work in the field of nutrition and the media he has helped to establish the concept of 'optimum nutrition' and promote the role nutrition plays in enhancing health, covering a wide range of issues from arthritis to schizophrenia. During the last decade he has written over twenty books on the subject, selling more than a million copies worldwide. His books include The Optimum Nutrition Bible, Optimum Nutrition for the Mind, The H Factor, Natural Highs, Natural Energy Highs, Natural Chill Highs, 100% Health, The 30 Day Fatburner Diet, Say No to Cancer, Say No to Arthritis, Say No to Heart Disease, Beat Stress & Fatigue, Supplements for Superhealth and (co-authored) The Optimum Nutrition Cookbook, Balancing Hormones Naturally, Boost Your Immune System, Improve Your Digestion and Six Weeks to Superhealth. His books are available in 30 countries of the world and are in 15 different languages, from Arabic to Chinese.
His knowledge, personality and enthusiasm, together with his strong scientific approach helps him to stimulate lively debates, simplifying complex issues and helping viewers to expand their understanding of health issues.
He also lectures throughout the world on a wide range of topics to the public and health professionals. In the UK he presents around 50 workshops and lectures a year.
