Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing. - Dr. Joseph Mercola

The humor may be dry but for Dr. Joseph Mercola, staying healthy is no laughing matter. An osteopathic physician by training, Mercola has been in the field of health and wellness for over 20 years. What keeps him going is the desire to help people live longer, healthier and happier lives by finding and sharing the best ways to achieve good health.

Dr. Mercola is the founder of Mercola.com, one of the world’s most popular free health websites, which went online in 1997. Now, more than a decade later, the site continues to provide unbiased information and the latest updates in the world of natural medicine to better inform people and help them make the right choices when it comes to their health.

World-renowned economist Paul Zane Pilzer, author of the book The Wellness Revolution, feted Mercola as one of 15 “wellness revolutionaries,” individuals who have made a difference in the field of health and wellness. Pilzer recognized the success of Mercola.com and Dr. Mercola’s efforts in providing a free and useful online health resource.

Dr. Mercola conducts his practice and research at his Natural Health Center (previously known as the Optimal Health Center). At the Center, Dr. Mercola and his staff help patients pinpoint the causes of their health concerns and create personalized and comprehensive treatment plans for them to make them feel better not just physically but emotionally and spiritually as well.

Aside from Mercola.com, Dr. Mercola shares his knowledge by writing books. He is the author of two New York Times bestsellers, The No-Grain Diet (with Alison Rose Levy) and The Great Bird Flu Hoax (with Pam Killeen), as well as Take Control Of Your Health, Sweet Deception and How To Eat, Move And Be Healthy. He has also made appearances on the several national and local television and radio programs including the Today Show, CNN and World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.
