Months \u2014 sometimes <em>years<\/em> \u2014 of research from our top scientists worldwide is combined with the input of experts in the fields of health and wellness to give you the best possible product that has the highest chance of meeting your needs and the needs of your customers.<\/p>\n\n<p>When it comes to our experts, we only work with the best.

As our Chief Medical Officer, a member of our Scientific Advisory Board <em>and<\/em> Founders Club member, Dr. Strand is an integral part of Partner.Co.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dr. Strand has been with us since 2011 but has been practicing family medicine for <em>40 years<\/em>. A University of Colorado Medical School graduate, Strand completed his post-graduate training at Mercy Hospital in San Diego, California.<\/p>\n\n<p>While most of his practicing career has focused on family medicine, for the last decade, Strand has concentrated on nutritional medicine, a practice based on the principle that nutrients are required for a healthy body.<\/p>\n\n<p>During his career, too, Dr. Strand has authored multiple books \u2014 <em>What Your Doctor Doesn\u2019t Know About Nutritional Medicine, Death by Prescription, Bionutrition, Healthy for Life <\/em>and<em> Releasing Fat<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.partner.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PTR_BLOG3_Dr-Strand-Videos_04-2022_USA-ENG_v01-1024x335.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.partner.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PTR_BLOG3_Dr-Strand-Videos_04-2022_USA-ENG_v01-1024x335.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.partner.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PTR_BLOG3_Dr-Strand-Videos_04-2022_USA-ENG_v01-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.partner.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PTR_BLOG3_Dr-Strand-Videos_04-2022_USA-ENG_v01-768x251.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.partner.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PTR_BLOG3_Dr-Strand-Videos_04-2022_USA-ENG_v01-1080x353.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/blog.partner.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PTR_BLOG3_Dr-Strand-Videos_04-2022_USA-ENG_v01.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>When he\u2019s not busy practicing medicine or writing books, Dr. Strand has shared his knowledge widely, lecturing in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, focusing on both preventative and nutritional medicine.
