What Really Matters

Picture
Reflecting upon historical events, and different cultural perspectives give's a broader lens through which to look at our own culture and behavior.  Then we can see, the normalized violence we have been taught to ignore, even though it contradicts values most of us already hold.  JoAnn Farb's presentation takes the audience on a thoughtful, logical journey that  connects social justice and environmental sustainability with health.

Raising Healthy Compassionate Children -- Ideas for Parents to Consider

Picture

Choices parents make even before their children are born, can set the stage for their children's future health, intellectual development  emotional well-being and the level of connection experienced by the entire family.  Yet virtually every thing we are taught about how to birth, feed, educate and care for our children runs contrary to many of the known fundamental needs of our species and thus can undermine well-being on all levels

Why the Issue of Gluten is so Important

Picture
A growing body of evidence suggests that the "staff of life" has changed, and may be undermining the well-being of far more of us, then most doctors yet recognize.  Unfortunately, because gluten containing foods are ubiquitous, when people begin to reduce meat and dairy, too often, inadvertently they end up eating even more gluten -- often with consequences they never connect to the gluten.  JoAnn Farb has an important perspective on gluten to share. (Video of this talk.)

From Pharmaceutical Rep to Vegan Activist -- One Woman's Journey

Picture
This is JoAnn's story of working for one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world as a consultant to research, manufacturing and agribusiness entitites.   Filled with interesting insights and sometimes funny acounts of a journey that prompted her to become a closet vegan after it took  her inside of high security faciities where animals are kept out of public view, and then to ultimately come out of the closet and share what she learned with others.

Healthy Aging -- How Science Can Help us Maintain Functionality Into Later Life

Ten Incidents That Inspired

Picture
We live in an amazing time.   We now have good science from both epidemiological studies and clinical studies that can clearly explain which lifestyle choices vastly increase our odds of avoiding the major chronic diseases of our time.  It's not just about living longer, but living better -- by maintaining physical and cognitive functionality late into life.  Learn what science and healthy older populations can teach us about living well and feeling good. 

This is my newest presentation, which was created for the Johnson County Library's Writer's Conference.  Here is a 23 minute clip from it
