I am a US and Canadian board certified Radiologist. Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in medical imaging. We look at your Xrays, Mammograms, Ultrasound, CT and MRI scans and send your doctor a report describing the abnormal findings.
You may be wondering why a radiologist is interested in fitness and nutrition. Most of my day is spent looking at what is going wrong inside of people and making them sick. Many diseases which I see can be related to poor dietary habits and obesity and may be prevented by eating healthy fresh food, losing weight and exercising regularly. Some examples are type 2 diabetes, cardiac disease, abnormal bowel function (bowel cancer) and osteoarthritis.
