About Jonny Bowden

My journey from addict hell to wellness nirvana led me to become something of a zealot for healthy lifestyles (not to mention giving me an inside window into food addiction). I got certified as a personal trainer, ultimately collecting 5 major certifications from organizations like NASM (National Academy for Sports Medicine), ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) and ACE (American Council on Exercise). I got a job with Equinox, and ultimately became Dean of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute. And it was during that time that I started questioning the conventional wisdom on low-fat diets.

Ultimately, I went back to school and got a PhD in holistic nutrition and I sat for the board exams in nutrition for the American College of Nutrition, earning board certification and the CNS (Certified Nutrition Specialist) designation from the College’s Certifying Board of Nutrition Specialists.

My mission is to help everyone become their own “Nutrition Myth Buster”. I want to help you examine “conventional wisdom” by asking the right questions and making the right distinctions. I want to help you become the leader of your own health care team. I want to help you live in a body you can be proud of and that serves you well, even if it doesn’t belong on the cover of Vogue.
