Dr. Chris Fredrickson is a neuroscientist, nutrition researcher, and author who has spent more than 25 years studying how trace minerals like zinc influence mood, focus, and brain development. His research and passion for improving adolescent health have helped thousands of families better understand the connection between nutrition and behavior.
Dr. Fredrickson began his career studying the role of essential micronutrients in brain chemistry and emotional regulation. Through decades of research, he discovered that zinc — one of the body’s most vital trace minerals — plays a key role in everything from neurotransmitter balance to immune function.
He’s seen firsthand how restoring zinc levels in children and teenagers can dramatically improve mood stability, concentration, and energy.
“For years, I’ve watched parents struggle with the same question — why does my teen seem tired, moody, or unfocused even when they eat well? The answer often lies in hidden nutrient deficiencies. My goal with The Zinc Doctor is to bring that science to families in a way that’s clear, practical, and effective.”
Dr. Fredrickson combines science, compassion, and practicality. His at-home zinc testing kit and targeted supplement were created to help parents identify and correct zinc imbalances before they lead to long-term issues.
