Co-Founder of Take Shape For Life, Medical Director of Medifast, Best-selling Author

One of the nation’s foremost physicians in nutritional intervention and best-selling author of the groundbreaking book Dr. A’s Habits of Health, Dr. Wayne Scott Andersen has devoted his career to forging new territory in the realm of creating optimal health through a comprehensive approach that addresses and breaks through logistical and psychological barriers.
As the nation’s tenth board-certified physician in critical care, he helped pioneer the emerging subspecialty of intensive care medicine, serving as director of critical care at Grandview Medical Center.
Dr. Andersen knew the old adage of eat better and exercise was not working for his patients nor, as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) statistics on obesity shows, was it working nationwide. In 2001 he left his lucrative hospital-based practice to create a business model that would teach people the habits of health.
Now co-founder of Take Shape for Life™ and executive director of the Health Institute, a training and certification organization in the emerging field of health coaching, he also serves as medical director of Medifast® and as a reviewer for Critical Care Medicine Journal in the area of nutrition.
