Early life
Reinagel was born in Buffalo, New York, on November 25, 1964. She was professionally trained as a chef at Maryland's L'Academie de Cuisine, and holds a Master of Science in Human Nutrition from the University of Bridgeport.
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. As of November 2012, the podcast is one of iTunes' top 10 Health podcasts in the United States and Canada.
Media
Reinagel has appeared on television on The Dr. Oz Show, CBS News, ABC Eyewitness News, Today and NY1, and in print publications such as Chicago Tribune, Seattle Times and Washington Post.
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. She is also a frequent contributor to Food & Nutrition magazine (a publication of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics), and produces a regular feature called Smart Nutrition for WYPR in Baltimore. She was the chief nutritionist for Conde Nast's NutritionData website from 2007 until 2010.
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.
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food components, and dietary patterns on inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein as the basis for the unpublished formula used to produce the ratings. 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.
Opera
A classically trained singer, Reinagel has performed as a soloist with the Baltimore Opera Company, Ohio Light Opera, the Smithsonian Institution and Opera Lafayette, among others.
