Mission FORK U

Welcome to FORK U. Fork University. Where we make sense of the madness, bust a few myths, and teach you a little about food and medicine.

I’m Dr. Terry Simpson—surgeon, scientist, and your chief medical explanationist. At FORK U, we’re not here to sell you supplements or tell you carbs are evil. We’re here to bring the science back to your plate—with a healthy side of sarcasm.

Food hasn’t been medicine for 2,000 years, and despite what the smoothie bowl crowd says, it still isn’t. But we do know that eating better can help you live better. And that matters.

Our Mission

Here’s what we do:

✅ We bust nutrition myths that clog your feed and your arteries

✅ We decode the latest studies in easy, bite-sized episodes

✅ We bring the receipts—every episode is evidence-based and referenced at ForkU.com

History

We’ve revisited the foundational studies of nutrition, like Ancel Keys’ Seven Countries Study—which didn’t just compare nations but followed real people in real villages for decades. We’ve explored the French Paradox. We’ve even told the story of the surgeon who discovered the first vitamin.

And we don’t just look back—we dive into current topics too: GLP-1s, gut health, ultra-processed foods, and yes—what happens when a shirtless influencer tries to sell you dehydrated buffalo hearts in the name of ancestral living. (Spoiler: you’re better off with lentils.)

If you’re tired of pseudoscience disguised as wellness, and you want real answers—served with wit, citations, and no BS—welcome to FORK U.

Let’s eat smarter. Let’s myth-bust louder. And let’s get cooking.
