Dr. Fine has been part of Dallas' academic and clinical medical community for 15 years, holding staff positions at both Baylor University Medical Center and the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical School.

"Among many important factors, I believe that maintenance of overall health requires intestinal health, as well as sound nutrition through consumption of naturally healthy foods. I founded the intestinal health institute to be sure that the benefits of my medical research in the area of nutrition, gluten and other food sensitivity, and inflammatory bowel disease, particularly microscopic colitis, a disease ignored by other public service organizations dealing with colitis, are made available directly to the people that need it most: those suffering from or potentially at risk for these disorders. Because many people and physicians are not aware of the genetic and environmental risk factors for these problems, and for the higher than expected prevalence, education and public service are at the core of our mission. When my time on earth is through, I want to feel that I fulfilled my personal mission as one who worked for the good, and good health of others."
