While completing her medical residency with The Department of Family and Community Medicine at The University of Toronto, Dr.Hershberg, a former competitive gymnast and fitness champion, discovered an innovative and thought provoking approach to teaching patients how to eat for weight loss and health; an approach specifically designed to help patients lose weight quickly while lowering their blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Encouraged by her peers and colleagues, she then transformed the breakthrough approach into her book: The Hershberg Diet: Discover How The 4th Macro Will Help You Shed Pounds and Beat The Metabolic Syndrome. The much-anticipated book is now a best seller and is on bookshelves across Canada with international release dates planned for the United States and United Kingdom for early 2008.

Her experiences in competitive athletics coupled with her training in science and medicine have afforded her with a unique and highly respected knowledge base. In addition to practicing medicine, she is a freelance writer having contributed medical consultation and health and wellness articles to publications such as Us Weekly, Chatelaine, Flare, LuLu, Glow, Oxygen, TeenGlow and Glow Health magazines.
