I trace back my fascination and love for natural healing to my pediatrician father. I would occasionally accompany him on house calls when I was a preschooler. My dad would often say that much of what he had to do was hold the parents’ hands and nature would do the rest for their child. 

I count the day in 1973 when I discovered Jethro Kloss’s Back to Eden as the initiation of my life’s work to what I have coined “Delivering the Wisdom of Nature”. In 1979, I purchased Mother Earth, a natural food store in Massachusetts, and in 1982, I formalized my training at Dr. Christopher’s School for Natural Healing and began producing natural remedies which would later inspire my founding of the leading U.S. food supplement company, New Chapter. The company sold to Procter & Gamble in 2012. 

My principal innovations were the advancement of whole food probiotic nutrients and daily herbal supplementation as an alternative to USP purified vitamins and minerals as well as helping bring the European technology of herbal supercritical extraction to the United States. I also wrote several books on natural healing, helped found and create a biodynamic and organic ginger farm in Costa Rica and developed partnerships with major U.S. universities to further the acceptance and value of herbal medicine.

Today, my herbal and healing passions are channeled into an effort to inspire and uplift international mental and physical well-being.
