Over the decades, beginning back as a student at UC Berkeley, I have followed research on health and food closely but, despite that knowledge, I eventually found my own health faltering. I gained weight, my blood pressure crept up, my shoulders froze, and my joints started to bother me. When I hadfinally had enough, I sat down and developed an eating plan that quickly restored my health. I was frankly amazed at how powerful food can be and immediately began teaching others how to eat to quiet inflammation. That was back in 2007. I continue to teach the TQI Diet and am consistently inspired by the fabulous results my students are able to achieve. I am also proud that science continues to validate the premises of the TQI Diet and that many of my students now come referred by their health care practitioners who have seen many of their patients improve dramatically when they start following the TQI Diet.
