No one is an island, untouched by experiences, assistance, or the luck of circumstance. The genius occurs at the nexus where they happen to meet. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the technical advice and mentorship that I have received from many people, particularly Jill Marsal and Julia Pastore, as well as Mary Travers, Lisa Konick, Renae Stott Wilbur, and all my teachers along the way. Thank you Stewart and Nancy Hopkins for the grace and beauty you’ve added to our book.
I’d like to express my sincere love and thanks to my family and friends who have given me time to think and work and have encouraged me wholeheartedly. You’ve provided the fuel necessary to believe in the fruition of this book. Thank you Mary, Jimmie, and Kevin Price, Eloise Wilson, Cypress and Nia Price-Nascimento, and Glen Gallagher. I’d like to thank my co-author for being game and jumping aboard this faithful ride.
Finally, I’d like to thank my patients for being my greatest teachers and inspiration. You fight the good fight every day, and I hope this book can make your life easier.

I’d like to thank my co-author for her sensitivity and kindness in understanding the need for this book and choosing me to be part of the project; Jill Marshal and Julia Pastore for guiding me through learning the new language of writing a book; Bastyr University for providing me with information that underlies my firmest belief that food is medicine and can work miracles in people’s lives; and Elliot Bay Books in Seattle, where my co-author and I held all our face to face meetings.
Thanks to Megan Gordon, cookbook author, for her generous advice. A prayer “shout out” to Ann Miller whose advice launched me into my career in nutrition, and to Stewart Hopkins and Nancy Werner, whose talent and friendship completed the picture.
