Stig Bengmark Author

Professor Stig Bengmark, M.D., Ph.D. is one of the foremost innovators and visionaries in Swedish medicine. After a long and celebrated career in medicine, as he found himself approaching old age, he realized there was no single source out there that could tell him how to simply live healthily.

For over 30 years, Bengmark has researched the impact of gut bacteria on general health. He knew of – and applied to his own life! – the benefits of anti-inflammatory eating well before news of it broke to mass audiences. At 90 years old he still lectures, writes and works.

After taking on the gargantuan task of bringing together all of the recent strides made in the field of health and nutritional science, Bengmark lent his expertise to health bloggers Lina Aurell and Mia Clase in their project Food Pharmacy, making him a household name in Sweden. Choose Health! is the culmination of his life’s work.
