Biography

Six Decades of Clinical Nutrition Education

For over fifty years, Mark Anderson has trained physicians in a form of clinical nutrition that modern medicine never fully understood—and is now trying to rediscover.

He has dedicated more than five decades to the field of clinical nutrition education, training thousands of healthcare professionals in the principles of whole-food nutrition and the clinical work of Dr. Royal Lee, founder of Standard Process. 

He began his career in 1972, hired directly by Mrs. Evelyn Lee, President of Standard Process and wife of the founder, Dr. Royal Lee. Over the next fifty years, Mark became one of the most recognized educators in the Standard Process community, introducing Dr. Lee’s nutritional philosophy and clinical methods to physicians across the United States and internationally. 

Through seminars, webinars, writings, publications, extensive archival work, and personal consultations, he trained and helped establish thousands of wholistic doctors in their clinical practices. 

Preserving, teaching, and advancing clinical applications of whole-food nutritional therapeutics is the story of Mark’s career.
