I have been fortunate in many ways throughout my life. One thing I am most grateful for, is to be raised in a home by two forward-thinking parents who instilled the values of nutrition and holistic health in me.  It was not easy to understand the value of this as a child (I only wanted to be able to eat some Doritos and white bread every once in a while) but I treasure the insights into the world of food and nutrition that has been the cornerstone of my health and wellness.
