About the Authors

Brent Agin, MD: Dr. Agin was born and raised in Michigan, where he devel-

oped an appreciation for athletics and exercise at a young age. In 1989, he

went off to Michigan State University, competing for four years on the MSU

soccer team and earning Academic All-Big Ten honors during his junior year.

He decided to pursue a career in medicine and attended Michigan State

University College of Human Medicine, graduating in 1999. He headed south

to nish his medical career, completing residency training in Family Medicine

at the University of South Florida in 2002.

Dr. Agin’s lifelong interest in sports expanded into the elds of health and

nutrition. Once he entered into private practice, he implemented a practice

model that allowed him to focus not only on medical care, but also on the use

of diet and nutrition to improve health.

Dr. Agin co-authored the book Healthy Aging For Dummies (Wiley) while

continuing to expand his diet and nutritional supplement line called Trim

( www.trimlifestyle.com ). He now practices wellness medicine and helps

patients understand the powerful impact they have on their health and aging.

Shereen Jegtvig: Shereen Jegtvig began her rst career as a chiropractor

in 1990. She practiced in western Wisconsin, where she saw the effects of

healthful (and not so healthful) diets on her patients every day. In order to

offer the best care to her patients, she knew she needed to learn more about

which foods could do the most to improve human health. Thus, her fascina-

tion with superfoods was born.

Armed with nutrition books (and eventually a new computer with dial-up

Internet access), Shereen spent countless hours researching and learn-

ing about superfoods. The advent of broadband cable Internet access led

her to more ef cient online searches, a mild Internet addiction, and, most

importantly, the opportunity to write about nutrition for the large Web site

About.com in 2004.

Shereen enjoyed her newfound ability to reach a large audience that just

couldn’t be duplicated in a clinical setting, so she began her second career

as a health and nutrition writer. She returned to college and earned a master

of science degree in human nutrition with special interest in the effects

of omega-3 fats on cognitive function. Today, at nutrition.about.com, she

focuses on teaching readers why they need to eat superfoods as well as pre-

senting helpful dietary tips and how-to’s. Shereen knows that a pomegranate

or a carton of blueberries won’t help anyone’s health if they never leave the

refrigerator.
