Ian Marber, born 1963, is a nutrition therapist, well-known author and one of the founders of The Food Doctor, developing the brand from its inception in 1999 until his departure in December 2011. The Food Doctor positioned itself in the field of healthier eating with a range of both of fresh and dried food products, online consultancy as well as personal consultations. Marber's life was metamorphosed after receiving a correct diagnosis in 1993; prior to this he spent most of his early years struggling with undiagnosed Coeliac Disease which was wrongly diagnosed as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, This experience inspired him to change his career and study as a nutritional therapist. Marber trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, based in Richmond, South West London; the institute was established in 1984 by fellow nutritionist Patrick Holford and Dr Linus Pauling. Marber received his Nutritional Therapy Diploma in 1999 and has since been made a Fellow at the Institute and remains one or their most high profile graduates. In 2009 at the 25th anniversary celebration of the I.O.N he was awarded the Best Media Advocate for his extensive publications and media presence. [More at Wikipedia]
