Biography: Dr. Ron Rosedale, MD

Ron Rosedale is a nationally known expert in nutritional and metabolic medicine whose work with diabetics is truly groundbreaking. Very few physicians have had such consistent success in helping diabetics to eliminate or reduce their need for insulin and to reduce heart disease-both without drugs or surgery.

Dr. Rosedale was founder of the Rosedale Center, co-founder of the Colorado Center for Metabolic Medicine (Boulder, CO) and founder of the Carolina Center of Metabolic Medicine (Asheville, NC). Through these centers, he has helped hundreds suffering from so-called incurable diseases to regain their health. One of Dr. Rosedale's life goals is to wipe out type II diabetes in this country as a model for the world. He is also in the final stages of publishing a new book on his proven treatment methods for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoporosis and other chronic diseases of aging.

One of Dr. Rosedale's patients, inspired by his own success with the program publishes and distributes "Heart Support of America," which advocates Dr. Rosedale's metabolic approach to reversing heart disease. This patient is also founder and president of "Heart Support of America," a national non-profit organization. Dr. Rosedale's success has been featured in a column by Stephen Sinatra, MD, titled "HeartSense," appearing in the Your Health newsletter of the International & American Association of Clinical Nutritionists. Dr. Rosedale's work has also been the subject of various newspaper articles.

It was during his research of anti-aging medicine that Dr. Rosedale became interested in diabetes. Diabetes is actually a form of accelerated aging-diabetic patients develop the diseases of aging (cardiovascular disease, blindness, etc.) at a much earlier age than most of us.

As a keynote speaker, Dr. Rosedale has appeared before such prestigious groups as:

The Eighth Congressional International Medicine Conference of Molecular Medicine - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
First European Conference on Longevity Medicine and Quality of Life (two-day featured speaker) - Brussels, Belgium
National Nutritional Food Association
Great Lakes Association of Clinical Medicine
Robert Crayhon's "Designs for Health" seminars (beginning and advanced)
Diabetes and Heart Seminar - Denver, CO
Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Southern Chapter - Orlando, FL
One particular lecture for healthcare professionals-"Insulin and Its Metabolic Effects"-is extremely popular. It has been transcribed and posted on the Internet and translated into many languages.

Dr. Rosdale has been a guest on Tom Martino's nationally-syndicated "Troubleshooter" radio show, as well as on many other radio and television shows and is frequently cited in various journals and publications.

Dr. Rosedale graduated from Northwestern University School of Medicine in 1977. While there, he worked with Dr. Jeremiah Stammler-one of the world's pioneers in the field of diet and heart disease--on discovering the correlation between cholesterol and heart disease.

Dr. Rosedale's research interests include:

• Diabetes and the aging process
• Correlation between diabetes and diet in the aging process
• Effects of diet and fat on the aging process
• Insulin and the rate of metabolism

Correlation between insulin and cellular magnesium and calcium levels

In his spare time, Dr. Rosedale can be found photographing nature, hiking or snow-skiing in the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
