Founder of Wellness Resources

Additionally, his advanced understanding of nutritional biochemistry combined with real-world experience lead to the creation of many unique nutritional products not available elsewhere setting the new gold standard for the dietary supplement industry.

Health Author and Journalist
An intrepid health author and journalist, Richards writes a free weekly e-newsletter as well as articles touching on the latest in health news. In 2002 Richards published his groundbreaking book, Mastering Leptin. He was the first nutritionist that explained the complexity and importance of the fat-hormone leptin as the commander in chief of metabolism. It was Richards who brought this groundbreaking information to the attention of the public. He is the creator and pioneer of The Leptin Diet® which explains the 5 simple rules of leptin management and lays the foundation for real and life changing weight control. His book, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America is widely regarded as the top book on health freedom today exposing the gross negligence and profiteering of Big Pharma and the FDA at the expense of your health (read it free on this website). His riveting article, The Statin Scam Marches On, is another great example of the quality of his work.
