Biography

Fredrik Nyström is a full professor and senior consultant in internal medicine with a special focus on endocrinology at Linköping University. With over 36 years of experience as an active doctor, he has a subspecialty in endocrinology, focusing on hormone-producing glands and their roles in conditions such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. Over the past decades, he has gained substantial expertise as a doctor and scientist, particularly studying how adipose tissue produces hormones that regulate appetite and inflammation. He notes the irony of increasing obesity in the Western world, as adipose tissue has become the largest hormone-producing tissue known since he began studying medicine in the 1980s. Nyström has been part of the endocrine department at Linköping University Hospital since 1992, concentrating on how lifestyle interventions can impact health. His research includes papers published on hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and the effects of nicotine on blood pressure and insulin levels. He is also the author of the book “Lighten the Load on Your Shoulders!”, which aims to provide scientifically supported health advice.
