Michael Mooney

Because his early childhood was plagued with numerous personal health problems Michael Mooney began looking into natural health care, "health foods" and orthomolecular nutrition at the age of 14, in 1967. His health improved rapidly and Michael's growing passion for nutrition attracted the attention of his biochemist father. Under his father's mentorship Michael began to investigate progressive nutrition and nutritional therapies, and in 1973 they co-founded SuperNutrition Life Extension Research, to research nutrition and dietary supplements, lifestyle, and exercise as tools to improve health, intelligence and extend human health-span and perhaps, lifespan. Because of his upbringing in a family of activists, although he is HIV-negative, Michael responded to the AIDS crisis when it first appeared in the early 1980's by helping HIV-positive friends research information about alternative medicine and nutrition for long-term survival. Michael lost his best friend to AIDS-related wasting disease early in the AIDS crisis (he died in a hospital at 80 pounds), and this has been a prime motivation for Michael's HIV/AIDS work. Michael has a long history of treatment advocacy, political activism, old-fashioned ethics, cutting edge journalism and innovation in health topics. Michael has been published in periodicals over 100 times, interviewed on the Discovery Channel, in Sports Illustrated (as an authority on anabolic hormones), in Ironman Magazine, and on ABC-TV, NBC-TV, FOX-TV, KPFA Radio and over 150 other international radio and television outlets.
