James A. Corea

James A. Corea (September 25, 1937 – March 3, 2001), Ph.D., Dr. Science, ND, RPT, was a radio personality and specialist in nutrition, rehabilitation, and sports medicine.

[3] He also operated a gymnasium and physical rehabilitation facility, conducted police academy fitness training and hosted a top-rated radio show on Philadelphia's WWDB.

In addition, he was a professor at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and one of the most popular naturopathic physicians in the Northeast.

A resident of Haddonfield, New Jersey, Corea died at age 63 at Kennedy Memorial Hospitals-University Medical Center in Cherry Hill.

[3] As a notable fitness expert, who advocated and lived the "perfect" diet and exercise regime, it was considered in the press to be a difficult message that he would die of heart disease at the relatively young age of 63.

[5] Corea never mentioned his family history of heart disease on the air and his death was a serious blow to his many fans and followers who lived, exercised and ate by his personal fitness regime.
