The person behind the work
A 25-year personal health journey changed the questions I wanted to ask. I wrote about it in my memoir, The Awakening. Following a personal awakening in February 2024, I began an intensive study of food, traditional dietary practices, the microbiome, and whole-person resilience.
That inquiry has become a second chapter of research and writing. It draws on lived experience, but remains grounded in careful reading of published literature and an awareness of what the evidence can—and cannot—tell us.
Spirituality and seva, or selfless service, give this work its personal meaning.
