"You Are What You Eat". That was the title of a book that I saw at my Grandmother's farm when I was about 10 years old. Little did I know that I was being put on a path that would significantly change my life for the better.

My upbringing was pretty typical for the 1950s. My relationship to food (too much sugar and refined carbs) eventually led to a pretty significant weight problem. By my mid teens I ended up with a bad back (probably brought on by carrying the weight of newspapers on my paper route). Then by my late teens, I was diagnosed with Hepatitis B (source unknown). 

Still under my parent's care, they did the only thing they knew how to do. They brought me to the medical doctor.

Although I agree that the 1st stop for any health care concerns should be the medical doctor, in my case, I received little help. These health concerns would go on to haunt me through my 20s and into my 30's. I was overweight, always tired, moody, and in almost constant pain. I felt frustrated and hopeless. 

My break-thru came in the early 80's when I came across a book that reminded me of the book that I had seen at my grandmother's farm so many years earlier. That book was entitled "Food Is Your Best Medicine" by Henry Bieler, MD. At the same time, I started seeing a holistic chiropractor. That's when my healing took off! Finally I had hope! 

By the early 90's, I was working as that doctor's assistant restoring our patients to health. In the 30+ years since then, I have successfully restored my own health (now feeling the best ever as I enter my retirement years) as well as restored wellness to hundreds of clients who have sought me out for my years of personal & professional experience. 

I am excited to coach anyone on how to restore their health. Whether it’s weight loss, improved energy levels, better mental well-being, or a healthier lifestyle overall, feel free to contact me. 

I would love to hear your story!
