Career

Podcast

Since 2008, Reinagel has been the nutrition contributor to the website Quick And Dirty Tips. She produces a weekly five-to-seven-minute podcast focused on food, nutrition and health.[4] As of November 2012, the podcast is one of iTunes' top 10 Health podcasts in the United States and Canada.[5]

Media

Reinagel has appeared on television on The Dr. Oz Show,[6] CBS News,[7] ABC Eyewitness News,[8] Today[9] and NY1,[10] and in print publications such as Chicago Tribune,[11] Seattle Times[12] and Washington Post.[13]

Since 2011, she has been a regular contributor to the Huffington Post as a part of their "Healthy Living" section, advising readers on weight loss and healthy eating.[14] She is also a frequent contributor to Food & Nutrition magazine (a publication of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics),[15] and produces a regular feature called Smart Nutrition for WYPR in Baltimore.[16] She was the chief nutritionist for Conde Nast's NutritionData website from 2007 until 2010.[13][17]

IF Rating

Systemic inflammation has been linked to an array of adverse health outcomes, and diet has a measurable effect on markers of inflammation as well as inflammation-related morbidities. [18] [19]

In 2006, Reinagel introduced the IF Ratings, a system that attempts to predict the inflammatory or anti-inflammatory potential of foods and mixed meals based on their nutrient composition. Reinagel cites peer-reviewed published research on the associations between various nutrients, food components, and dietary patterns on inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein as the basis for the unpublished formula used to produce the ratings.[20] No analyses of the statistical validity of the IF Ratings or results of any controlled interventions have been published.

Similar to other proponents of anti-inflammatory diets, such as Barry Sears, Nicholas Perricone, and Andrew Weil, Reinagel recommends incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods such as fish, nuts, olive oil, non-starchy vegetables and spices, and limiting refined grains, sugar, and saturated and hydrogenated fats. [21]

Opera

A classically trained singer,[22] Reinagel has performed as a soloist with the Baltimore Opera Company, Ohio Light Opera, the Smithsonian Institution and Opera Lafayette, among others.[23][24]
