John Neustadt, ND, is medical director of Montana Integrative Medicine and the co-founder with Steve Pieczenik, MD, PhD of Nutritional Biochemistry, Incorporated (NBI) and NBI Testing and Consulting Corp (NBITC). He is an internationally acclaimed clinician, author and speaker. Dr. Neustadt has written more than 100 articles and is a regular contributor to the medical journal, Integrative Medicine, and the consumer publication, remedies magazine. One of Dr. Neustadt's articles, "Medication-Induced Mitochondrial Damage and Disease" was published in the journal Molecular Nutrition and Food Research. He was honored to have been contacted directly by the editor, a senior FDA researcher, and asked to share his expertise by writing this ground-breaking article.

Dr. Neustadt has written three books: Thriving through Dialysis with Jonathan Wright, MD, A Revolution in Health through Nutritional Biochemistryhttp://www.montanaim.com/books.html and A Revolution in Health Part 2: How to Take Charge of Your Healthhttp://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Health-Part-Take-Charge/dp/0595532160/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1241572219&sr=8-1 with Dr. Pieczenik.

In August 2008, Dr. Neustadt was voted Best Doctor among all physicians in the area in the annual Best of Bozeman survey. This is the first time a naturopathic physician has ever won this category. The editors of The Tributary wrote of this accomplishment, "It is noteworthy that Dr. Neustadt did not win 'best naturopathic doctor;' he won best doctor. Perhaps it’s for his expertise in nutritional biochemistry –- his book, A Revolution in Health through Nutritional Biochemistry, written with Steve Pieczenik, MD, Ph.D., was released this spring. Perhaps, it is his intuitive and holistic approach to health care. Perhaps it is for the extra hours he puts in at no charge. But likely it's the combination of all of these characteristics that set him apart. This is a big day for naturopaths everywhere. Congratulations, Dr. Neustadt."

Dr. Neustadt is on the editorial advisory board of the Journal of Prolotherapy and remedies magazine and an editor of the textbook, Laboratory Evaluations for Integrative and Functional Medicinehttp://www.metametrixinstitute.org/post/2008/06/Laboratory-Evaluations-for-Integrative-and-Functional-Medicine-now-Available%21.aspx. In September 2006 Dr. Neustadt was invited to speak at the 1st European Conference on Anti-Aging Medicine in Vienna, Austria. Dr. Neustadt earned his naturopathic medical degree from Bastyr University where he was awarded the Founder's Award for academic and clinical excellence.

May marks Osteoporosis Awareness Month, and this year, let's shift the focus from increasing bone density to reducing fracture risk.
