For many years, I've searched for a product that encompassed the truly remarkable healing properties of the master antioxidant, glutathione, in an ABSORBABLE form. Intravenous forms work but are expensive and inconvenient for most people while only a tiny fraction of the glutathione in most supp…
I didn’t always have a passion for food and its ability to prevent or heal disease. When I was 13 I began suffering from anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by low body weight, a distorted body image, and an intense fear of gaining weight. Food, or the lack of it, was not the pr…

Even strangers often tell me the stories of their suffering, and of course, in my practice it has always been important to me to address healing from a body, mind, and spirit approach.
