I spent twenty years in corporate America watching friends and colleagues get sick. At younger and younger ages, I heard about diabetes, cholesterol and statin drugs, auto-immune disorders, high blood pressure and stress.

Then in 2001, I embarked on a life-changing journey; I adopted a four-year-old boy from Kazakhstan. Seeing the run-down orphanage where he lived—with no toilets, just holes dug in the concrete floor for a latrine, eating gruel for dinner, drinking and bathing in brown water—was an unforgettable experience.

A year later, I traveled to Siberia to bring home a three-year-old girl. While her living conditions were much better than her brother’s, her nutrition was still limited. Admiring beautiful strawberry plants in the orphanage garden, I asked if my daughter liked strawberries, as we had a pick-your-own strawberry field in our town. I was shocked to hear that the strawberries were grown for the workers and that the children’s diet was kept simple to avoid allergic reactions.

Introducing my kids to new foods was an amazing experience. Neither had ever had hot or a cold food before, so they needed to acquire a taste for ice cream and food had to cool down to room temperature before they would eat it. My daughter found comfort in the blandness and continues to prefer a carb-heavy diet without spice or exotic flavors.

My son is exactly the opposite: he seeks flavor stimulation and enjoys spices and hot sauce—his favorite food is Caesar salad with anchovies. Sharing this experience with them changed my relationship with food. I realized good food is more than just nutrition; it’s nourishment on every level. It’s environment AND genetics. It’s healing. It’s nurturing. It’s coping. It’s love.

At first, I accepted the poor nutrition my children had received in utero and for the first few years of their lives as something I could not change. My four-year-old son was the size of an 18-month-old when he came home. But as he began to eat and grow, I became more and more curious about how I might help him overcome his challenging start.

I began to research nutrition and dietary theory and found extensive information indicating that it was not too late to change his development, that new neural pathways could be created, and good nutrition could not only prevent health challenges in the future, but also reverse conditions already present. I knew at that moment that I would devote myself to learning all that I could to help my kids thrive going forward.

I already had a solid educational foundation, with an undergraduate degree from Yale University and a Masters in Business Administration from the Columbia Business School. The time I had spent in the corporate world honed my writing, research and problem solving skills. But I needed to learn more about wellness.

So I went back to school. I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC -- in conjunction with Columbia University’s Teachers College – to study nutrition and dietary theory and received certification as a Holistic Health Counselor. I studied to become a Holistic Stress Management Instructor, became a Certified Personal Trainer in addition to already being an indoor cycling coach for more than ten years, worked with energy medicine and healing systems, and I began work on a Ph.D. in Natural Medicine.

I also read everything I could get my hands on, talked to physicians, naturopaths, healers, and researchers to learn all that I could. I invested in classroom training, but my voracious quest for knowledge was not contained by formal classroom educational initiatives. I researched and investigated independently and continue to do so today.

And I integrated my work experience with my new passion. I led the marketing initiatives at a women’s wellness company focused on natural healing and I learned first-hand from the pioneers of alternative women’s health that originally included Dr. Christiane Northrup. I coached 6-month wellness programs and also served as the founding Editor of the New England Health Advisory.

At NEHA, I wrote dozens of articles about health and wellness to tens of thousands of loyal readers and answered their questions one on one. This led to the publication of my first book, an e-book entitled, “What Your Doctor Isn’t Telling You – Change Your Life One Bite, One Breath, One Step At A Time,” which hit #8 on the amazon.com healthy living e-book best seller list.

Over the years, I have invested thousands of hours into breaking through the misinformation and the conflicting research that exists in order to get to the truth, and I am thrilled to be able to share what I have learned with you now. I have analyzed the research, consulted the experts, uncovered the truth and made it accessible to everyone.
