About the author
Joseph Mercola is an American osteopathic physician known for his writing on nutrition, natural health, and alternative approaches to disease, published widely by Hay House. Fat for Fuel argues for a high-fat, low-carbohydrate dietary approach and discusses it in relation to cancer, brain function, and energy levels. Ketofast combines time-restricted eating with ketogenic principles, aimed at readers interested in metabolic health. Upgrade Your Immunity with Herbs, written during the COVID-19 pandemic, pairs herbal recipes with commentary on supporting immune function. Mercola built his public profile through mercola.com, one of the most visited natural-health websites, and has published numerous New York Times bestselling books over several decades. His work is aligned with the alternative and functional medicine movement and often departs from mainstream medical consensus, a stance that has drawn both a large following and sustained criticism from medical and public health commentators. Readers already interested in diet-based approaches to health are his primary audience.
