Welcome!
And so we begin this new journey with you towards to goal of better health and ideally regaining the level of health in which we would describe as optimal….or in our model “Green“. This journey is very personal to me as well as being a new professional mission to help people find their way to optimal health and to provide the means for them to personally own the knowledge on all levels. By this I mean that they will know and own this knowledge through engaging on the three levels of learning. First, they have a cognitive / intellectual understanding of health -lifestyle-diet connection. Second that they have an understanding as to the “why” this is important to them personally and have a commitment to themselves and the material – the affect / feeling knowledge. Finally that they have a behavioral / doing understanding of this process’so that they own the ability to do this on their own. You might think that this is abstract or academic but it is essential for the patient / client / individual to own this knowledge so that they will be successful integrating this into their own lives. For example when moving from a Standard American Diet (SAD) to a Plant Based Diet requires not only learning in what to eat, how to prepare or find and identify the “new foods”, but also some focused time to let the brain learn to adjust to the diet and to switch their taste buds desiring the new foods.
So why the Lighthouse image as our header on our page and here? Simply because it symbolizes our commitment to protecting you from the dangers in the area of health promotion and wellness. We will work hard to provide you with advice and recommendations that are based on the latest science and practice as we know it. Our objective is to position you to achieve your goals and avoid the obstacles and dangers out there.
There is a mountain of disinformation, old obsolete information, myths and intentional propaganda from commercial interests which promotes confusion and obfuscates the true path to better health. We will attempt to point to those programs, books and materials that will help get people BACK TO GREEN. We support the science evidence based efforts of many of the thought leaders in the field and will hope to help connect people with their work.
So Welcome to the first blog…I wish you much success in your personal and professional journey.
