Thanks, Jim. A nswer: Dear Jim, Thanks for the question. I think it's fair to say that I've been focused on nutrition and wellness since I was a fairly young child. I had the sad experience of losing my parents prematurely, which I believe may have been, at least in part, related to a lack of nutri- tional understanding and less than optimal eating behaviors that were common at the time. Since then, nutritional sci- ence and related therapies have made great strides in advancing our understand- - --:\ (, ‘4l, , ing of proper nutrition and ) sound eating behaviors. / Unfortunately, none \ of us are born with a li scientific knowledge of nutrition or with instinc- tual eating behaviors that "automatically" lead us to optimal health and wellness. Like most impor- tant things in life, these things are learned. In the current information age, no small part of the problem is being able to separate the "wheat from the chaff," so to speak. : It's never too early or too late to improve your nutritional lifestyle —nutritional counseling can defi- nitely help.
