NOTE: I am not listing my Advisory Committee (other than my wife) at this time because they have not yet reviewed the content of this book. The final published version will have been reviewed by experts in the field of health, exercise and nutrition. 

Below is the list of experts who have so generously donated their time to ensure that this book is not full of shit.

I wish to note that the following people do not necessarily endorse my arrogant style of writing or any other potentially offensive commentary in this book. Their role was to advise me on the facts under analysis. Health, diet and exercise are complicated fields of study and among practitioners and academics there can be disagreement. It is possible that members of my advisory committee may have differing opinions on some of the subject matter contained herein.

Dr. Heidi Fell, MD, FCFP

I was going to do this list alphabetically, but then my husband training kicked in and I decided to put my wife first. I’ve known Heidi since she was 18 and just starting university. She is the most diligent, hardworking and intelligent person I have ever met.
Why she married me is a subject for debate.

She entered the University of Calgary in 1989 in what is arguably the school’s hardest science program: biochemistry. She never got less than an “A” in every single class. Her perfect 4.0 GPA score contributed to her not actually graduating, however, because after three years her stellar grades and high MCAT score got her early acceptance to the U of C’s Faculty of Medicine without finishing her undergraduate degree. The U of C’s med school does not rank its students, but if you were to ask any of her classmates (Class of ’95) who was tops all but one would say Heidi. The other guy would say himself. After med school Heidi entered a family medicine residency at Foothills Hospital in Calgary which she completed in 1997, and she has worked in private practice ever since.

She also has a brown belt in karate, so you better not piss her off.

Her breadth of knowledge never ceases to amaze me. It is only because of her that I was able to understand some of the highly scientific information referenced in Body for Wife. Truthfully, her prints are all over this book.

Prior to embarking on this project I engaged in a number of consultations with my advisory committee, and allthough I do not wish to name the rest of them until they have actually reviewed the content of this book, I will give you an idea of their credentials:

• One has an MSc in sports medicine and a PhD in biomechanics. He specializes in injury treatment and prevention
• One has an MSc in exercise physiology, plus a whole host of personal training and coaching certifications. He works as a strength and performance coach for Olympic athletes
• One is an MD with a specialization in Endocrinology and Metabolism, and she also has a special interest in the battle against obesity
• One has a PhD in Kinesiology and works as a tenured professor in sports psychology and motivation
• One has a PhD in nutrition and metabolism and is also a registered dietician.
• One has an MSc in health and sport psychology as well as a BSc in physical education with a focus on nutrition. She has also held a senior leadership role in exercise and nutrition program development for over a decade.
• One has been a leader of personal trainers with over 25 years of experience in the personal training field.
• I also have two other personal trainers, both of whom have a BSc in kinesiology along with a host of personal training and coaching certifications

So, yeah, when these folks get through with my book I think it should more or less qualify as peer reviewed.

It’s nice to have friends.
