About the publisher
Kevin L. McMahon
Founder and publisher · health innovator · co-author
Kevin L. McMahon is founder and publisher of MediSelf Press and co-author and publisher of Sugar Surfing. His publishing work began in 2013, when he managed the strategy, communications, content development, and online community surrounding Stephen W. Ponder’s emerging Sugar Surfing method.
McMahon co-authored and published Sugar Surfing in 2015, then built and operated the publishing, ecommerce, fulfillment, and customer-support system that has served more than 100,000 customers.
Before and alongside publishing, McMahon pioneered connected diabetes care, developing one of the earliest real-time, wireless, algorithm-driven diabetes intervention platforms. The system automatically moved glucose information from a person’s device to a remote platform that could identify patterns, generate alerts, deliver education, and support timely care-team action.
He later led patient-centered digital, Phase IV, and real-world programs at Ultragenyx and founded PatientStories.ai, continuing a career devoted to turning lived experience and complex information into practical knowledge people can use.

The origin of MediSelf Press
The community came first. The book followed.
By August 2014, the Stephen Ponder Facebook page managed by McMahon ranked fourth in the United States among pages categorized as Health/Medical/Pharmaceuticals—well ahead of Medtronic Diabetes and Dexcom. That direct engagement helped shape the book that followed.
MediSelf Press continues the same model: listen closely to a community, shape meaningful experience into useful knowledge, and build the operation required to place it responsibly in readers’ hands.
