Guest Bio: Kim Barnouin
Kim BarnouinBefore she was a Skinny Bitch, Kim Barnouin was a high school drop-out turned model who only crossed paths with a vegetable on her pizza. Today she is the co-author of the New York Times Bestseller, Skinny Bitch, with its sequels Skinny Bitch in the Kitch, Skinny Bitch: Bun in the Oven, Skinny Bitch: Just Bitchin, and a line of fitness DVDs.

As a kid, Kim used to spit veggies into her napkin. As a young adult, she couldn't get enough of earth's treats. It was during this transition that Kim became obsessed with nutrition. She got her hands on every book and enrolled in a Bachelor's program in Natural Health.

She wouldn't stop there.

This retired beach bum went on to receive a Master's in Holistic Nutrition and is currently working on her PhD. Learning about how food affects and heals many diseases and illnesses was something she wanted to share with everyone.
    Chew on This with Kim Barnouin

    Dr. Friedman and Kim chew on a new study that shows eating carbs can put you at a higher risk of developing lung cancer, even if you’ve never smoked.  

    Foods such as white bread and white rice may increase your risk of lung cancer by 49 percent. 

    Also, a study published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology revealed that the touch-free bathroom hand dryers that blast hot air around your digits spread 1,300 times more germs than paper towels.
