Together with his wife, Katherine, Dr. Klonecke co-authored the book “Bypass: A Journey to Better Health.

Dr. Michael Greger is a founding member and Fellow of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and an internationally recognized speaker on nutrition.

He is also a graduate of Cornell University School of Agriculture and Tufts University School of Medicine, and an acclaimed author of several New York Times Best Sellers, including How Not to Die and How Not to Diet.
