Barry Sears

Barry Sears is a biochemist and nutrition scientist. He is most popular for creating and promoting the Zone diet, a diet aimed at achieving stable blood sugar levels and hormonal balance. The diet, Sears has stated in several of his books, was born of his desire to avoid dying of a heart attack, a fate that all other men in his family had been victims of. In more recent years, Sears has popularized the use of fish oil and Omega-3 fatty acids to reduce system-wide inflammation in the body.
