David L. Katz (born 20 February 1963 in Los Angeles, California)[1] is a physician and the founding director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center (unaffiliated with Yale University) that was founded at Griffin Hospital in Derby, Connecticut in 1998.[2] He is known for his dietary recommendations, and describes himself as an "iconoclast on the side of reason", in contrast to the "empty promises" of the popular diet media.[3]

He is a voluntary clinical instructor in Internal Medicine. In 2005, Katz was appointed the associate director for nutrition science at the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale,[4] a position he no longer holds. Katz has authored over 100 scientific papers and written numerous newspaper and magazine articles, including a recurring column in O starting in March 2002, now discontinued. In 2000, Katz began advocating for integrative medicine when he founded the Integrative Medicine Center at Griffin. He has been a member of the governing board of the American College of Preventive Medicine since 2002, and has also been president of the Association of Teachers of Preventive Medicine since 2004.[5] Katz is also on the advisory board of Naked Food Magazine, for which he is also a regular contributor.[6]

In 2015, Katz wrote two positive reviews in his Huffington Post blog for a science fiction book that he had published under a pseudonym, without disclosing that he was the author of the book; Huffington Post retracted the posts.[7]

Education

Katz received his BA degree from Dartmouth College, his MD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and his MPH from the Yale School of Public Health. He is board certified in preventive medicine.[8]
