I am a 40-something, Wife and Mother of three.  I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Economics (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) from Furman University and a Master of Government Administration from the University of Pennsylvania.  In 1997, I left my ten year career designing and implementing financial systems for corporate and governmental clients to become a Mom – the BEST Mom I could be (never perfect).  This entailed learning a massive amount about nutrition in order to birth and raise healthy children with no learning disabilities, allergies or other issues that are so prevalent in our young ones today.

As a result, since 2002, I’ve found myself in the role as a Nutrition Educator and Chapter Leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to getting the truth about nutrition out to the masses.   In the summer of 2011, I also joined the Weston A. Price Foundation as a Board Member.

Understanding basic nutritional principles as practiced by Traditional Societies that have stood the test of time is incredibly important today as our modern lives are filled with half truths about wellness.  With all the knowledge I’ve accumulated regarding children’s health and wellness, I’ve become known locally as a kind of “Wellness Maven”.  This was right up my alley, having come from a medical family where both my Father and brother are MDs. Through this blog, I am taking my lay role as health maven international!

Not sure where to start?    This beginner post will help dispel one of the most common myths of health in our culture and help you feel better TOMORROW:   Five Fats You Must Have in Your Kitchen.

The video below on Traditional Fats/Sacred Foods will also get you started in the right direction. To view the entire 12-part Beginner Series I filmed for the Weston A. Price Foundation, click here.

I hope you enjoy the basic truths about wellness that are discussed here.   Join the conversation!
