When I read about Michael J. Fox and his long battle with Parkinsons, or the Brazilian man with Cardiomyopathy featured in today’s Boston Globe,I always dream of the opportunity to help them with food. I have seen hundreds of people vastly improve any medical condition by bringing the
body into balance with a more natural diet, that takes into account their condition, and the seasons.

What’s holding me back from living my dream?

I need more experience, working with people who are not acute, but would like to strengthen their health, and prevent illness. It would also
be helpful if I had an advanced degree, medical, nutrition, or perhaps something like Reiki (energy healing).

I’m excited to be scheduled to teach three upcoming lectures at Keefe Tech in Framigham:
-Jan. 28, Health Yourself! (for teachers)
-March 3, Macrobiotic Cooking 1-Staples (Adult Education)
-March 17, Introduction to Macrobioticsh (Adult Education)

I am looking forward to gaining experience, contacts and reputation through these lectures, so I can help more people.

Here is a health tip for today…

In the winter, we need more hearty foods with strong energy to heat our bodies. While an obvious choice might be beef or chicken,
these are hard on the body, and introduce a lot of toxins and suffering from the animals.

If you feel you must have some, try cooking a nice mushroom barley soup with beans, in beef stock. Make sure the soup is not
too salty, and if you can use sea salt, or sea vegetables, all the better. Also, add some greens for the last part of cooking. Kale, collard greens
or mustard greens are particularly great.
