Dr. Michael Eades - 'A New Hypothesis of Obesity'

Dr. Michael R. Eades received his BSCE degree in Civil Engineering from California Polytechnic University (Cal Poly), Pamona, California and his MD from the University of Arkansas Medical Sciences (UAMS).

After completing training in General Surgery as UAMS, Dr. Eades (along with his wife) founded Medi-Stat Medical Clinics, a chain of general family medicine outpatient care centers in central Arkansas, where he practiced general family medicine for over a decade.

In 1996, Dr. Eades co-authored (with Mary Dan Eades, MD), their first joint book project ‘Protein Power’, which became a national and international bestseller, selling over 3 million copies and spending 63 weeks on the NY Times Best Seller List.

The Drs. Eades have appeared as guest experts on hundreds of radio and television shows across America. Their work has been featured regionally and nationally on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC and seen in such publications as Newsweek, the NY Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, and USA Today.
