Dear Reader,

As a child growing up in the era of astronauts and moon landings of the 1960s, I was swept up in the idea of exploring space and strange new worlds. As those dreams gave way to reality, I found myself following in my grandmother's and father’s footsteps by becoming a chiropractor instead.

After graduation, I found the idea of just adjusting patients on a daily basis to be too boring for my adventurous spirit and began studying every aspect of health and holistic healthcare. My father’s subsequent illness and passing became the rocket fuel for going beyond the bounds of modern and holistic medicine, and understanding health and sickness in expansive ways. As my knowledge base grew, my patients became even more complex, constantly challenging me to go even further in my understanding. In today’s world, we all share the same fate. We live in a time in which the daily stresses of life and the burdens of toxicity are rapidly exceeding our ability to adapt and cope, often leading to a life of chronic inflammation and eventual disease.

This book provides a way to survive and thrive while creating a life of health and vitality.

Here’s to your health!
