Patrick Holford is a British nutritionist, author of more than twenty books on nutrition and health, and founder and director of the Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London.
Patrick Holford is also the director of the Food for the Brain Foundation, a registered charity that is helping children with special needs through improved nutrition, and the Brain Bio Centre, an outpatient clinical treatment clinic for those with mental health issues wishing to pursue a nutrition-based approach. He appears regularly on television and is also a frequent guest speaker on radio. He lectures throughout the world, and presents about fifty lectures and workshops a year in the UK.
Holford began his academic studies at the University of York, where he studied experimental psychology. As a psychology student, he became interested in the biochemistry of mental health problems. His research brought him in contact with Dr Carl Pfeiffer and Dr Abram Hoffer, both of whom claimed success in treating mental illness with nutritional therapy. He became their student, and later studied with Dr Linus Pauling.
In 1984, Holford founded the Institute of Optimum Nutrition (ION). At that institute, he has worked on nutritional approaches to depression, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. His research into the rôle that nutrition plays in children's IQ levels was the subject of a Horizon documentary in 1987.
Holford has written more than twenty books, the first of which was The Optimum Nutrition Bible, which has sold over a million copies worldwide. His books have been translated into seventeen languages.
