Hello! I am Mario, and I welcome you to Nourished by Science on YouTube. In 25+ years in academic research, one question I heard again and again from research participants, donors, journalists, friends and family was "Where can I find high-quality evidence-based information about nutrition and health?" I created this channel and my website at www.nourishedbyscience.com to provide exactly this: clear, understandable, unbiased, and evidence-based information about nutrition and chronic disease, with the goal of helping you live a healthier - and ultimately happier :-) - life. My qualifications include a PhD degree in Nutrition, more than 25 years of conducting clinical nutrition research, and many years of teaching a course on methods used in nutrition research to graduate students. I have also served on the editorial boards of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism for several years.
