HEALTHY LIVING HEALTHY PLANET
Dear Readers,
This month’s letter was inspired by Peggy over at Bad Dog Design. She authored a blog post on Valentine’s Day that spoke of her experience with a team that brought the Vagina Monologues to Santa Fe over 20 years ago. The post is titled “Learning to Say the V-Word”. It resonated in a sense because I recently learned how to say the G-word without flinching. I’m talking about God. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with the concept of God for a long time and like many readers I aban-doned Christianity to explore Eastern ways that seemed more kind. I know a couple of Christians that can be unkind (ironically family members) and when that happens it reminds me of the alleged Gandhi quote “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Recently I had a revelation which has helped me reclaim the G-word for myself. In last month’s letter, I casually mentioned discovering H. Emilie Cady’s work. Cady was a cool chick and authored Lessons in Truth in 1896, she was part of the New Thought Movement. I think secretly she had a crush on Ralph Waldo Emerson but I have no proof, thinking this makes me like her even more. Nothing else about spirituality has ever made this much sense to me, her book is timeless and quite frankly I’m a little ticked off that I wasn’t made aware of it before now. See, Cady believed that God is good, God is love, God doesn’t judge or punish, God doesn’t keep score, there is no sin but only the absence of God. We don’t need someone to tell us what God says or wants us to do. God is within each and every one of us which means we are good. We don’t have to kneel or count beads or suffer to know God. God manifests in each of us independently and God is everywhere all the time. We must listen to hear God and what we hear could be called our intuition. God works in divine ways and we work in human ways. We co-create with God and the more we do so with divinity in mind, the more peaceful life can be. To find God, we look within and practice active faith. We meditate and pray. Dispenza calls it being Supernatural, Chopra calls it being Meta-human. They talk of subconscious and spirit and energy and healing. . . maybe it’s all the same and it’s God? I’m reclaiming the word and thanks to Cady’s lessons from 1896, I’m updating my concept of God. If you are going through a hard time, feeling lost, empty or challenged give Cady a read. Let’s say hypothetically you are up at 3am with mega hot flashes that make you feel like you are in the depths of hell. .. . .read some Dana Gatlin, she was cool too and for a more modern author try Ellen Debenport. When I read the work of these progressive ladies, stuff makes sense and I feel hope. And, I can say or type God without flinching. That’s all I’ll say about that for this month. Enjoy this issue, there is good stuff on plant-based diets, fitness while vegan, regenerative farming, and the benefits of CBD. On-line we have additional articles about healthy dog food, natural remedies for kiddos with colds and hemp as a crop.

news and event briefs Reclaim your Truth & Beauty Workshop
Inés Maricle and Stefany G. Burrowes, PCC are holding a
workshop for women at Oshara Vil-lage on March 28th. The workshop focuses on reclaiming truth and beauty through self-acceptance and empowerment. Methods to trans-form old habits of fear, avoidance and self-sabotage will be covered allowing participants to choose new stories and practice not only well-being but well-doing. The goal is to manifest new habits from a place of grace and magic. Maricle recently moved to Santa Fe from the Pacific Northwest. She has performed as a guest sound artist and taught vocal sound healing classes at the Seattle Sound Temple as well as The Women of Wisdom conference. She performs, facilitates voice activation workshops, and offers individual sessions to remove ancestral wounds. Although most of her intuitive gifts come from lineage, Maricle also trained with Percy Garcia in Peru and with Sound healer Tom Kenyon in Seattle. Burrowes has a BA in Communications and over 40 years experience acting in live theater. She co-founded and ran a rural health clinic, and has been coaching since 2001. She now com-bines her extensive knowledge of performance, communication, business, and the creative process with her training in embodi-ment, personal development, and positive psychology for her work as a collaborator, teacher, and coach. Burrowes specializes in women’s empowerment and working through transitions with greater ease and delight: retirement, job changes, divorce, small business growth, and creating new endeavors. Join them to experience and learn how to access your own source of clarity, ease, and confidence in everyday life. Then take advantage of the Extra Benefit of a free individual session with one or both of them in order to reinforce your learning and com-mitments in the weeks following the workshop. For more information, contact Stefany 505-920-2259, [email protected] or Inés at 206-407-5878 [email protected]

Catch Some Rays to Boost Gut HealthFresh evidence is emerging of a skin-gut axis that links type B ultraviolet (UVB) exposure to
the microbiome, a finding that has implications for those suffering from
autoimmune and inflammatory dis-eases. University of British Columbia researchers divided 21 healthy young
women into two groups: Nine took vitamin D supplements during Vancouver’s
long, dark winter, and 12 didn’t. After three months, only the non-supplement-takers
tested as being deficient in vitamin D. Both groups were exposed to three, one-minute, full-
body UVB light sessions; within a week, vitamin D levels increased 10 percent on average and the
gut microbiota diversity of the low-D group rose to match that of the sufficient-D group. Along with other probiotic bacteria, Lachno-
spiraceae species, typically low in the guts of people with inflammatory diseases, increased with the UVB exposure.
Take Folic Acid to Reduce Stroke Risk
Researchers from Bei-jing Geriatric Hospital, in a meta-analysis of 12 studies involving 47,523 patients with cardiovascular dis-ease, found that those that supplemented with folic acid (vitamin B9) reduced their risk of stroke by 15 percent. Folic acid, which
the study authors called a “safe and inexpensive therapy,” lowers levels of homocysteine, an amino acid linked to heart disease; research indicates that 0.5 to 5 milligrams daily can reduce homocysteine levels by approximately 25 percent.
Practice Yoga to Help the BrainIt’s long been known that vigorous, sweaty aerobics strengthen the brain and help grow new neurons, but the latest research from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign shows that practicing gentle hatha yoga enhances many of those same brain structures and functions. The analysis, published in Brain Plasticity, examined 11 studies that used brain-imaging techniques to evaluate outcomes of hatha yoga, which involves body movements, meditation and breathing exercises. The research-ers concluded that the hippocampus, which is involved in memory processing and typically shrinks with age, increased in volume with yoga. The amygdala, which helps regulate emotions, tends to be larger in yoga practitioners. Other brain regions that are larger or more efficient in enthusiasts are the prefrontal cortex, essential to plan-ning and decision-making; the default mode network, involved in planning and memory; and the cingulate cortex, which plays a key role in emotional regulation, learning and memory.
Balance Water Consumption for Cognitive HealthDrinking either not enough or too much water can decrease cognitive perfor-mance in older women, Penn State University researchers reported in the European Journal of Nutrition. In a nationwide study, 1,271 women and 1,235 men over age 60 gave blood samples, answered questionnaires about the previous day’s food and drinks, and performed cognitive tests to measure working memory, brain processing speed and sustained attention. Women, but not men, performed more poorly if they were not in the “sweet spot” of just enough hydra-tion, typically around two liters a day. “As we age, our water reserves decline due to reductions in muscle mass, our kidneys become less effective at retaining water and
hormonal signals that trigger thirst and motivate water intake become blunted,” explains lead
author Hilary Bethancourt, in urging greater attention to hydration levels.

Try Vitamins and Garlic to Lower Gastric Cancer RiskIn a rural region of China where gastric cancer is common, researchers found in a two-decade study that two approaches—antibiotics and vitamin/mineral supplements—protected against it. Both methods, as well as a garlic supplement, significantly reduced death rates from the cancer. Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute researchers enrolled 3,365 residents ages 35 to 64 from 13 villages with symptoms of H. pylori, a gut bacteria linked to increased risk of ulcers and cancer. Two weeks of con-ventional antibiotics treatment reduced the risk of gastric cancer over a 22-year period, and twice-daily supple-ments of 250 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C, 100 international units of vitamin E and 37.5 micrograms of selenium taken for seven years also reduced gastric cancer incidence. Gar-lic in the form of 400 mg aged garlic extract and one mg of steam-distilled garlic oil was given to a third group for seven years. All three treatments significantly slashed the gastric cancer fatality rate.
Cut Back on Sugar and Carbs to Improve SleepWomen that toss and turn at night might sleep better if they pass up sugary treats for fruit, suggests a new study from Columbia University. Examining records of nearly 50,000 postmenopausal women in the Women’s Health Initiative, researchers found those that consumed a diet high in refined carbohydrates—particularly added sugars and processed grains—were more likely to develop in-somnia. Women with a diet that included higher amounts of vegetables, fiber and whole fruit (not juice) were less likely to have trouble sleeping. “When blood sugar is raised quickly, your body reacts by releasing insulin, and the resulting drop in blood sugar can lead to the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which can interfere with sleep,” explains senior author James Gangwisch, Ph.D.

Waste-to-Energy ‘Matterhorn’Sustainable Power With a Recreational BonusCopenhagen has dramatically refashioned the look and function of a power station with a new state-of-the-art, waste-to-power plant that powers 200,000 homes and
doubles—actually, sextuples—as a ski slope, a climbing wall, a viewing tower, a hiking
and running trail network, and a bar and restaurant. Named Copenhill, “It is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world,” says architect Bjarke Ingels. “It is a crystal clear example of ‘Hedonistic Sustainability’ because a sustainable city is not only better for the environment, it is also more enjoyable
for the lives of its citizens.” The build-ing, 278 feet tall at its apex, has
a glass elevator for viewing the inner workings of how the city’s trash is transformed into both electricity and heating, as well as the best view in town of the harbor. It has three ski lifts that serve a one-third-mile course coated with a special “plastic grass” that provides the per-fect friction for both skiing and snowboarding. It even features the tallest climbing wall in the world, designed with overhangs and ledges of white, like an icy mountain. Ingels says 97 per-cent of Copenhagen residents get their heating as a byproduct of energy production from an integrated system in which the electricity, heating and waste disposal are combined into a single process. Copenhagen has a goal of becoming the
world’s first carbon-neutral city by 2025.

Green FlyingFirst Commercial E-Plane Makes History
Electric propulsion has long been a goal of aviation manufacturers to lessen the carbon footprint of air travel. On December 11, Vancouver, Canada-based Harbour Air launched the first suc-
cessful test flight of an all-electric aircraft. Founder and CEO Greg McDougall piloted a 1956 de Havilland Beaver seaplane, rechristened the ePlane. Retrofitted with a 750-horsepower magni500 motor by MagniX, it took off from a dock on the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, and flew for four minutes. The certification pro-cess will take one to two years. After that, the retrofits of the company’s existing fleet of small planes can begin. The challenge for airlines seeking to go green with large aircraft is that current technology leaves electric engines relatively weak for their weight and they have a short battery life, but these factors do not deter Harbour Air, which went carbon-neutral in 2007 and flies mostly short hops in the Northwest.
Viva AgaveTequila Waste Turned into Bio-StrawsJose Cuervo, the bestselling tequila maker globally, has initiated an eco-friendly process of
salvaging the leftover agave fibers from its distilling process and upcycling them into a more sustainable alternative to regular plastic straws. The biodegradable drinking straw will decompose up to 200 times faster than regular plastic. Made with an agave bio-based and U.S. Food and Drug Administra-tion-approved composite, the new straws replace about a third of the polymers used in traditional straw production, and at the end of its lifecycle a straw can be consumed by microorganisms to fully biodegrade within one to five years in landfill conditions. The company plans to distribute millions of the straws this year at bars, restaurants and Jose Cuervo events across the U.S. and Mexico.

Palau Bans Chemicals to Save Reefs
Palau is the first country in the world to ban ecologically harmful sunscreens containing oxyben-
zone and octinoxate. Studies have found the ingredients cause coral DNA to mutate in the larval stage, which prevents coral from grow-ing properly and makes it more
susceptible to bleaching. Palau, with a population of about 20,000 people spread across 340 islands between Australia and Japan, is a
diving hotspot for tourists, and one of its lagoons has been named an official UNESCO World Heritage
Site. President Tommy Remengesau says, “We have to live and respect
the environment, because the environment is the nest of life.”

Soothing ScentsSmells of Nature Lower Physiological StressIn a virtual reality experiment, people recovered faster from a small electric shock when they smelled a mix of natural scents in a forest scene or grass in a park scene than when they smelled diesel or tar in an urban setting. Researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences hypoth-esized that natural environments would reduce stress faster than a non-natural one. After administering the small shock to induce stress, they tracked how quickly participants’ skin conductance levels rose and fell in each of the three envi-ronments. The pleasant natural scents were the strongest predictor of reduced stress, both during the initial shock response and in recovery, suggesting that odor might have a much more profound effect on reducing stress than sights and sounds. As study coauthor Johan Lundström, a neuro-psychologist at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, theorized smell is wired to bypass the thalamus, the brain’s switch-board, to go directly to the hypothalamus and olfactory cortex, creating a more immediate response than visual or auditory stimuli.
Instant Home3D-Printed Buildings on the Rise
ICON, an Austin-based startup, built the first permitted 3D-printed house in the U.S. in its hometown in 2018. Since then, the company has built a small neighbor-
hood in Mexico and launched its Vulcan II printer, which can produce houses measuring up to 2,000 square feet. San Francisco-based Apis Cor is another company in the 3D-printing space: It has just completed a two-story, 6,900-square-foot building in Dubai and it plans to build a demonstration house in Santa Barbara, California, this year. Another tech startup, Haus.me, has opened an assembly plant in Reno, where it plans to ship its first off-the-grid models to buyers in Nevada, California and Arizona. In the Netherlands, a consortium of companies has set up a fac-tory with 3D-printing machines that use concrete; it plans to supply materials for five homes to be built in the city of Eindhoven. The upside of using 3D-printing techniques for building houses include lower cost, less waste and reduced construction time—six weeks versus six months. Current barriers include a lack of regulation and building codes, and a limit on the types of materials that can be used. The pro-cess is limited largely to plastics and concrete, and homes requiring wood or steel still need to use traditional methods.

Eating GreenerTips for Plant-Based Living
Eating more fruits and vegetables as part of a plant-based diet is catching on. In 2019, more than one third of Americans said they plan to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diets to achieve their wellness resolutions, accord-ing to data company
YouGov. For those new to “green eating”—and even for veggie-minded veterans—lots of helpful information is available now on what to consider in buying, preparing, re-using and discarding food. The Environmental Working Group’s website at ewg.org/foodnews makes it easy to research pesticide levels in produce. Check out the Clean Fifteen and Dirty Dozen—the most toxin-free and toxin-heavy fruits and vegetables—along with related news and developments. Home deliveries of local and organic produce can save time and gas consumption from shopping. Some of the leading regional services include Fresh Direct (FreshDirect.com), Sun Basket (SunBasket.com), Green Bean Delivery (GreenBeanDelivery.com), Irv & Shelly’s Fresh Picks (FreshPicks.com) and Territory Foods (TerritoryFoods.com). Composting combines food scraps with lawn and garden trimmings and more into a nutrient-rich, natural garden fertilizer. A useful guide to composting basics by the Environmental Protection Agency can be found at epa.gov/recycle/composting-home. The phenomenon of food scrapping—using the parts of produce in recipes that are often thrown out—saves money in shopping, is easier on the environment and pleasingly leads to creative and innovative meals. A num-ber of cookbooks are dedicated to the subject, including Cooking With Scraps: Turn Your Peels, Cores, Rinds, and Stems into Delicious Meals, by Lindsay-Jean Hard and Scraps, Peels, and Stems: Recipes and Tips for Rethinking Food Waste at Home, by Jill Lightner. Plant-based foods can be swapped for traditional ingredients in countless recipes. MotherEarthLiving.com explains how aquafaba—the water from a can of beans—can replace egg whites, even in meringues. Bananas, applesauce and ground flaxseeds or chia seeds can substitute for eggs to bind baked goods. Coconut oil can replace butter and nutritional yeast can do the job of parmesan when sprinkled on pasta.

Did you know you have the power to live a regenerative life?By that, I mean that you can grow biologically younger and turn degenerative processes into regenerative processes that grow healthy new tissues in your joints, face, scalp, and sexual organs, to name just a few areas. Best of all, you can do this naturally, without surgery or medications.
“Regenerate by Design, rather than Degenerate by Default!” I have said this in many interviews. I'm always surprised when I realize that I have devoted nearly three decades to capturing and fine-tuning rejuvenation remedies from all corners of the world. My deep purpose in this work inspires me to showcase, educate and demon-strate well-documented natural, youthful-aging thera-pies and treatments based in science that tap into the brilliance of your own biology. I call these therapies and treatments A.R.T. (Amplified Regenerative Therapies), and I'm happy to say that I've been working with my pa-tients to reverse aging naturally with incredible results.
I am grateful to be the catalyst that changes lives.
Women often surrender to the $250 billion anti-aging industry by using products that have toxic chemicals, and electing to undergo unhealthy surgeries, which can lead to unnecessary downtime with medications. It's important to clearly understand the options. This is why it has become my mission to have you learn more about A.RT. in 2020.
A.R.T. has quickly become a lifestyle that includes an educational journey to learn new ways to amplify, regenerate and transform your lifestyle and your health
with little downtime. A.R.T. taps into a science of quick pathways to organic solutions that give you a youthful look and feel.
I have worked with 100,000 patients and every one of them shares one thing in common—they are all looking for the fountain of youth. 2020 is the year I am commit-ted to YOU! I will share and educate all those who are interested in their own unique A.R.T. experience. I want everyone to know that the best days of your lives have just begun!
You can ignite a youthful Golden Spark within your own body when you feed and source the opportunity to do what it is designed to do—regenerate. I will schedule private, exclusive women's retreats to share this sci-ence, and tips and secrets for you to live a regenerative lifestyle. When you learn more, you, too, will be able to say, “I’m NOT aging, I’m Regenerating” and believe it.
Find out more about my exclusive retreats in 2020 beginning with women, March 19-21st. I will also offer powerful, private retreats for men and couples. Email me 24/7 at Santa Fe Soul, Center for Optimal Health and ask about my exclusive Women’s Retreat March 19-21st: [email protected]

Whether identifying as vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, flexi-tarian or other veggie-friendly
variant, a growing number of Americans are moving away from meat products and toward plant-rich foods. Most come to a plant-based diet for personal, planetary or animal welfare reasons; however, they stay for the flavorful foods they discover along their dietary journey and the health benefits they reap. Marly McMillen-Beelman was pre-scribed medications to alleviate symp-toms of irritable bowel syndrome. “I knew I didn’t want to be on prescriptions, so I decided to change my diet, beginning by giving up meat, dairy and eggs. I imme-diately felt much better and my symptoms went away naturally,” says the Kansas
City, Missouri, author of The Everything Vegan Meal Prep Cookbook and founder of Chopped Academy, an online resource for food bloggers. “Now I eat an even greater variety of food than I did before I went vegan.” While only 3 percent of Ameri-cans identified as vegan and 5 percent as vegetarian in a recent Gallup Poll, a 2018 report by restaurant consultants Baum + Whiteman indicates that about 83 percent are eating more plant-based foods. Embarking on a plant-based diet is a lifelong adventure, but it can take time to adjust. Experts recommend a healthy dose of self-love with the newfound fond-ness for fruits and veggies. “Give your-self some slack and realize that dietary changes do not happen overnight,” says
April Murray, a registered dietician in Costa Mesa, California. “Start with famil-iar plant-based foods you already enjoy, and ease into trying new foods, whether tempeh or lentils.” A plant-oriented diet also can be flexible; health advocates encourage individuals to find a diet that works for them and their families. Leah Webb, the Asheville, North Carolina, author of Simple and Delicious Recipes for Cook-ing with Whole Foods on a Restrictive Diet, has adapted her diet over time to accommodate her family’s health needs. Although Webb has always maintained a plant-rich diet, she began incorporat-ing some animal products when her son was born. “He had severe food allergies and asthma, and needed a more diverse

diet,” explains Webb, whose daughter also has cystic fibrosis. Cutting out grains was a game-changer in “calming down his gut, where most of immune response lies,” says Webb. “He is now off asthma medication and the number of allergens he suffers from has dropped from seven to two.” Webb’s family eats bountifully from their backyard garden, complemented by meat and produce from local farmers’ mar-kets, where she can be certain the foods were produced sustainably and humanely. “I use meat to flavor soups or accent veg-etables, rather than as the star of the show. I like to focus on real flavors, using lots of garlic, herbs and spices,” says Webb. Murray, author of The Everything Pegan Diet Cookbook: 300 Recipes for Start-ing—and Maintaining—the Pegan Diet, follows that diet, a mash-up of paleo and vegan regimens that focuses on whole, fresh and sustainable food high in healthy fats and vitamins. The Pegan diet eschews refined sugar and highly processed foods, while allowing meat, poultry, fish and eggs, as well as gluten-free grains, legumes and dairy products in small amounts. “This diet can be helpful to different people in so many ways,” says Murray. “For people with diabetes and blood sugar dysregulation, this high-fiber diet can
help lower blood sugar and insulin levels. Heart health will improve, as you’ll be eating less animal products, which can be high in cholesterol and saturated fat. Many individuals also find themselves losing unwanted weight as they get filled up so quickly with these whole foods.”
Plant-Based Nutrition Made EasyWhile some worry about getting sufficient nutrients on a largely plant-based diet, nu-trition experts say these fears are unfound-ed. “People think they need to calculate ev-ery nutrient, but if you eat a plant-centered, whole-foods diet, you will get every vitamin and mineral you need to thrive,” says Ocean Robbins, co-founder of the Food Revolu-tion Network and author of The 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World. Legumes, nuts and seeds are all healthy, abundant sources of protein and iron.
Start with familiar plant-based foods you
already enjoy, and ease into trying new foods, whether
tempeh or lentils.
~April Murray
Reed Mangels, author of Your Complete Vegan Pregnancy: Your All-in-One Guide to a Healthy, Holistic, Plant-Based Pregnancy, busts the myth that cow’s milk is a must for growing bones. “Calcium, vitamin D and protein are the nutrients we usually associ-ate with bone health. One easy way to get all three is a soy-based or pea protein-based plant milk that is fortified with calcium and vitamin D,” says Mangels, adding that green vegetables like kale, bok choy, collards and broccoli are great sources of calcium. “‘Eating the rainbow’ is great way to make sure you’re consuming a variety of nutrients,” offers London-based Ben Pook, who co-authored the cookbook So Vegan in 5 with his partner Roxy Pope. “Many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants bring their own distinctive colors to fruits and vegetables, so preparing colorful meals is a simple way of getting as many nutrients into your diet as possible.”
Getting SocialDietary changes can be challenging to navigate initially, particularly when faced with social situations ranging from family gatherings to cohabitation. Having a good plan going into such situations can help ease the transition, say experts. “Never show up to an event hungry. You will be more likely to make a good decision if you
Navigating the lexicon of plant-based diets can be tricky, and choosing a
diet even trickier. Here’s a brief guide to some of the commonly used terms. Flexitarians eat a mainly vegetarian diet, but will consume meat on occasion. Pegans (a term coined by Dr. Mark Hyman, who follows the diet) focus on eating vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, meat, fish and eggs, while avoiding dairy, grains, legumes, sugar and pro-cessed foods. Pescatarians like radio host Howard Stern eat fish, seafood and other forms of animal products such as dairy, but don’t eat other forms of meat such as chicken, beef or pork.
Plant-based diets, followed by celebri-ties like Ben Stiller, consist mostly or entirely of foods derived from plants, including vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits, with few or no animal products. Vegans don’t consume any animal products, including eggs, dairy, honey or gelatin. Famous vegans include Ellen DeGeneres, Betty White, Beyonce, Bill Clinton, Madonna and Venus Williams. Vegetarians refrain from meat and seafood, but will consume dairy or other animal byproducts such as honey. Well-known vegetarians include Albert Einstein, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Doris Day, Jane Goodall, Kristen Wiig and Prince.

are nourished. On the way there, remind yourself why you are making the transition to plant-based eating,” suggests Murray. “I call myself a secular vegan because I don’t have a dogmatic approach to the way I eat. If I go to a family dinner and someone has made something special for me, but they used a non-vegan cheese, I will respect my family member’s effort and eat some of it. These situations will pop up from time to time, and the more you can be compassionate with yourself, the bet-ter,” says McMillen-Beelman. “If you are living with people who are not joining you in making a dietary shift, agree to respect each other’s choices. Make it a shared learning journey rather than a power struggle,” says Robbins. For example, he suggests making a vegetarian base and allowing those that want animal products to add them as toppings. A burrito bar can accommodate all diets by allowing people to add their own fixings to a base of beans and tortillas, whether those be dairy op-tions like cheese and sour cream or vegan-friendly guacamole and salsa. For families with kids, being flexible and inclusive can help make changes feel more positive and sustainable. “We never eat processed foods at home, but parties are that time I tell my kids they can eat
whatever they want,” says Webb. “Get your children involved, so that they are more engaged in the eating experi-ence. Let your children pick out recipes or snacks for the week. Make the food look pretty and it will taste more satisfying,” adds Murray.
Plant Prep Made EasyPlant-based chefs have plenty of kitchen hacks for making food prep and planning fun and easy. Robbins suggests finding go-to recipes to put on repeat. “Your prep time goes down a lot as you make the same dish, and the familiarity will help you develop lasting habits around new food patterns,” he says. Webb incorporates a healthy protein, fat and vegetable into every meal, even breakfast, but cooks in batches and freezes portions or repurposes leftovers to simplify mealtimes. “You’ll get burned out if you try to cook something from scratch every meal,” says Webb. “We eat a lot of eggs
because we raise chickens, so I’ll do baked frittatas I can reheat during the week.” Advance meal prep can take the pressure off busy times like the weekday breakfast rush, adds Robbins. One of his favorite breakfasts involves soaking oats and chia seeds overnight, which he tops in the morning with some unsweetened soy or coconut milk, chopped banana, frozen blueberries, and a dash of maple syrup, va-nilla and nutmeg. “It’s full of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, antioxidants and phytonutri-ents,” he says. Webb encourages people to get out of their food comfort zones by experiment-ing with approximate ingredients, like swapping kabocha or honeynut squash for butternut squash. Robbins also suggests making social connections with others on the same path by cooking them a meal, organizing a meal swap or sharing extras. “It’s not a diet or a fad; it’s a way of life. Start where you are and remember it’s not about perfection, it’s about progress. Have love, dignity and compassion toward yourself and others along the journey,” he says.

Many new regimens begin with gusto, only to be abandoned because old
diets die hard. Here are some expert tips for eating well over the long haul. “Find plant-based options at your favorite restaurants, and be open to new flavors. I promise you, your taste buds will change,” says April Murray, dietician and author of The Everything Pegan Diet Cookbook. To keep the momentum and inspiration going, follow plant-based chefs on social media, she adds. When switching to a plant-based diet, some miss the rich, fatty flavors found in meat, says Ben Pook, co-author of So Vegan in 5. “The trick we found is using ingredients rich in umami, which is a flavor commonly found in meat. One
of our favorites is miso paste (fermented soybeans), which has an intense savory taste. We often add it to stews, pies and even pastas to deliver more depth of flavor. Soy sauce and porcini mushrooms are also a great substitute.” “Sustainable change doesn’t happen overnight. If not sure what to cook, start with one big salad a week. When you get the hang of that, add in something else, like prepping snacks from scratch. Small things add up over time,” says Leah Webb, author of The Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free Family Cookbook. “Seek out loved ones who share your food values and nurture those relation-ships. You might be surprised how many people around you are also quietly trying
to achieve similar goals,” says Ocean Robbins, founder of the Food Revolution Network. “We put a lot of pressure on our-selves when we first switched to a plant-based diet. Shopping for vegan food and eating out at restaurants felt very overwhelming, and we found ourselves spending hours checking food labels. We’ve come to realize that veganism isn’t black or white and encourage others not to worry about making mistakes along the way,” shares Pook. If we can’t resist temptation on occa-sion, that’s okay too, Murray says. “That one unhealthy meal won’t undo all the hard work you’ve put in. Get right back on track the next morning. Positivity is key.”

When Kaye Herbert’s husband brought home a free sample of cannabidiol (CBD) oil, she didn’t hesitate to give
it a try. Having heard about its calming effects, she gave CBD to her three sons, whose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder made home-school-ing difficult due to frequent tantrums and lack of focus. “I didn’t expect CBD to be miraculous, but I was surprised that my kids’ frustrations were greatly reduced,” says the Austin, Texas, mom. “We weren’t seeing the severity of meltdowns.” The use of CBD in tinctures, capsules and lotions has grown exponentially, along with the science to prove its efficacy in reme-diating physical pain.

ity of CBD as a remedy for mental health-related issues, experts say, pointing to anxiety, depression and stress as the top three applications. However, as an unregulated supplement, CBD presents a challenge for consumers in its ubiquity from CBD-infused pillows to gummies, soaps and even pet food. Discerning purity, dosage and safety are real concerns for those that may grab any bottle off the shelf.
Consumers must become well informed, especially when replacing medications for serious disorders, experts say. But for anxiety and emotional well-being, CBD is largely heralded as a safe and natural choice by providers well-versed in CBD, such as Peter Bongiorno, past president of the New York Association of Naturo-

pathic Physicians. “It’s really important for people to know their options and to keep looking for what works for them,” he says.
The Feel-Good MoleculeCBD, a compound extracted from the hemp plant, is appealing because it can raise the level of cannabinoids—feel-good mol-ecules naturally created within the human body. “When we can’t sleep or are stressed out, cannabinoid levels go way down,” Bon-giorno says. While prescription drugs overwhelm the body with adverse side effects, CBD can healthfully bring back balance. But CBD won’t trigger an altered state because there is little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive chemical in marijuana that produces a high, he says, adding that he starts patients at a low daily dose of 25 milligrams. It’s important to talk with a physician about drug interac-tions, Bongiorno says. For instance, CBD can increase levels of blood-thinning medications, according to a 2017 study published in Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports. CBD can possibly treat a wide range of conditions, from fear of public speaking to bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders, but more research is needed, experts say. A 2018 clinical trial published in JAMA Psychiatry suggests CBD offers potential in treating psychosis. More recently, researchers in a 2019 case study of 27 patients published by the Permanente Journal concluded, “Cannabidiol may hold benefit for anxiety-related disorders.”
Seeds of Hope The most important step consumers can take to find a safe, quality product is to know where their CBD comes from, experts say. Lara Miller is an organic farmer in Lafayette, Colorado, who in 2017 dedicated a parcel of her two-acre farm to growing hemp for her business, North Field Farmacy. “I added in hemp because it is a dynamic plant that produces fiber, seed and medicine for us humans, all at the same time,” she says. Miller’s small, women-owned business grows the leafy plants outdoors in organic soil and harvests by hand. “We test in the field, post-harvest, during extraction and in the final product,” she says. “We know our product is clean and pure and potent.” This isn’t always the case. A 2017 study published in the Jour-nal of the American Medical Association showed that in 84 CBD products sold online by 31 companies, 26 percent contained less CBD than the amount listed on the label. Miller receives weekly calls from those wanting to purchase her plants and start a CBD business. “What bothers me the most is that not one person has asked how my hemp is grown,” she says. “It all feels like a big grab; the integrity isn’t there.” Miller continues to decline these requests and spends her days on the farm, where—come harvest time—she, alongside her crew, engages in some visualizations. “We imagine the people suf-fering who need support and think about how we are growing the plants to help them.”

Meatless Makeover A Plant-Based Spin on Classic Dishes
by April Thompson
Vegan food doesn’t need to be expensive, boring
or complicated.~Ben Pook
When contemplating a shift to-ward a plant-based diet, some may prematurely mourn the
loss of their favorite meaty classics. Luckily, enterprising vegan chefs have experiment-ed with flavors and textures that will lure almost any palate into loving a plant-based version of their favorite dishes without resorting to processed foods. “Plant-based versions of classic dishes offer all the nutritional benefits of plants without the cholesterol and saturated fats from animal products,” says chef and au-thor Marly McMillen-Beelman. “You don’t have to abandon all your favorite foods to become vegan—just veganize them.” The Kansas City chef makes carrot “dogs”, for example, by roasting carrots in a savory mix of tamari, agave, miso, paprika and garlic for a cookout-worthy treat. McMillen-Beelman’s cookbook The Everything Vegan Meal Prep Cookbook also offers many bean- and legume-based versions of classic sandwiches, like a vegan “Big Mac” with quinoa and pinto beans; a burger made from oats, black beans and pecans; meatballs from tofu and lentils; and a chicken salad based on tempeh, a
fermented, soy-based, high-protein prod-uct with a nutty flavor. “A lot of people like using tempeh, tofu or jackfruit for a meaty texture. It needs to be well seasoned, but so does meat,” suggests Ocean Robbins, author of The 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, & Transform Your World. “To mimic cheese, some com-bination of nuts and nutritional yeast, cultured nut cheeses or plant-based milks works nicely.” McMillen-Beelman likes using jackfruit for a “pulled pork” sandwich or taco, the tropical fruit being packed with vitamin C, protein, calcium, potassium and iron. Her slow-cooked version leans on whole-food ingredients, including pear and cranberries, to add natural sweetness and phytonutrients. “I use canned jackfruit because it’s much easier to find and cook with than the expensive jumbo whole fruit,” she says. Ben Pook, the London co-author with Roxy Pope of So Vegan in 5, says mushrooms lend substance and umami flavor to vegan dishes such as a mush-room, sage and onion Wellington as a
substitute for the classic beef Wellington. “We use portobello mushrooms for their meaty texture, which we surround with a sage and onion stuffing—all wrapped in vegan puff pastry to create a center-piece worthy of any dinner party,” says Pook, whose cookbook features dozens of plant-based recipes that contain only five ingredients each, such as a broccoli alfredo with cashews, broccolini, tagliatelle pasta, nutritional yeast and garlic. Nuts can also work wonders in a vegetarian dish, such as Pook and Pope’s walnut meat tacos, which blend toasted walnuts together with spices like cumin, paprika, garlic and chili powder to create a mince-like texture built into a taco with toppings galore. Many classic dishes can also be adapt-ed by simply leaving out the meat and let-ting the spices, herbs and vegetables shine through; for example, in a vegan shepherd’s pie, go with penne pasta with red sauce or a garlicky pesto with extra nuts, greens and olive oil in lieu of cheese. Sweet tooth cravings can be satisfied with healthy, plant-based versions of classic desserts, substituting aquafaba (the starchy liquid left over from canned beans) instead of frothy egg whites, or olive oil or avocado for butter. Nut butters can also add a touch of richness to a dish, whether sweet or savory. “I love making a peanut coconut milk cur-ry soup with onions, mushrooms and bok choy, with peanut butter, lime juice and soy sauce blended into the coconut milk for a luxurious flavor and texture. It’s great over potatoes, quinoa or rice,” says Robbins. “Vegan food doesn’t need to be expensive, boring or complicated,” Pook says. “There really are endless possibilities when it comes to cooking with plants, so don’t be afraid to experiment and create your own twist.”

with the remaining dry ingredients and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a spoon to mix everything together, then set aside.
Combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar in a separate bowl. Let sit for a minute or two until the milk curdles and turns into a “buttermilk”. Then add the hot sauce and mix everything together until the ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
Meanwhile, add the flour to a small plate and set aside. Press the tofu if required. (Extra-firm tofu contains very little mois-ture, so this step isn’t always necessary.)Then slice the block in half and break the tofu into bite-sized pieces with hands.
Season the tofu on both sides with salt and pepper; dip tofu into the flour, followed by the milk mixture, then the crisp mixture. Re-peat until all the tofu pieces have been coated.
Add the vegetable oil to a pan until it’s ¼-inch deep. Tip: Use a wok to reduce the amount of oil needed. Heat the oil on medium-high. Drop a tiny amount of the dry mixture; if it starts sizzling as soon as it hits the oil, it’s ready.
Carefully add half a dozen or so tofu pieces to the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until the tofu begins to brown and is extra crispy. It’s important to not overcrowd the pan, as it can lower the temperature of the oil.
When the tofu is ready, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a plate lined with parchment paper; immediately season it with some extra salt, which will help make it even crispier. Repeat until all the tofu pieces are cooked. Serve with a favorite dip, such as one made by combin-ing equal amounts of tomato ketchup and vegan mayo.

Toast the walnuts in a pan over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until they begin to smoke. Keep an eye on them and stir occa-sionally to prevent them burning. Then peel and dice the garlic and add it to the walnuts along with the smoked paprika, chili powder and ground cumin. Stir to coat the walnuts in the spices, then cook for 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans and sweet corn. Transfer them to a separate pan and stir in a generous pinch of salt and pepper, as well as the juice from the lime. Heat through for 5 minutes on a medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat, roughly chop the cilantro and stir it into the beans and sweet corn.
Add the cooked walnuts, garlic and spices to a food processor along with the balsamic vin-egar, maple syrup, sun-dried tomatoes (drain as much oil as possible) and a pinch of salt. Process for a minute or two until the walnut mixture turns into a mince-like texture.
Next, prepare the salsa by slicing the cherry tomatoes into quarters and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Peel and dice the red onion, slice the chili (leave the seeds in if spicy is preferred) and roughly chop the cilantro leaves, adding all to the mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the bowl, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Meanwhile, heat through the tortillas in a pan over a low-medium heat.
Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and mash it in a bowl along with juice from half a lime.
When you’re ready to assemble your tacos, spoon a few tablespoons of the walnut mixture on top of a tortilla, followed by the bean mixture, salsa and a dollop of mashed avocado. Top with a drizzle of vegan yo-gurt. Repeat for the remaining tacos.

sage leaves, walnuts, ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Process to form a smooth paste, then fry in a pan over a medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Roll out one sheet of pastry onto the lined baking tray. Spread a third of the paste down the middle of the pastry lengthways, spreading it 2 inches wide and leaving the same length clear at each end.
Turn the baked mushrooms upside-down to drain excess juices, then place three of the mushrooms, gills facing up, on top of the paste along the middle of the pastry. Add the remaining two mushrooms, gills facing down, between the three mush-rooms. Spoon the remaining paste around the mushrooms to cover them on all sides.
Place the second sheet of pastry on top and use your fingers to seal the edges together. Trim around the Wellington roughly one inch away from the filling, discarding the excess pastry as you go. Lightly score the Wellington with diagonal lines at 1-inch intervals and brush with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, until the pastry turns a lovely golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve in slices.

Scientists recently discovered a way to kill viruses and bacteria.
Now thousands of people are using it to stop colds and fl u.
Colds start when cold viruses get in your nose. Viruses multiply fast. If you don’t stop them early, they spread and cause misery.
In hundreds of studies, EPA and university researchers have confi rmed that viruses and bacteria die almost instantly when touched by copper.
That’s why ancient Greeks and Egyptians used copper to purify water and heal wounds. They didn’t know about microbes, but now we do.
Scientists say the high conductance of copper disrupts the electrical balance in a microbe cell and destroys the cell in seconds.
Tests by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) show germs die fast on copper. So some hospitals tried copper for touch surfaces like faucets and doorknobs. This cut the spread of MRSA and other illnesses by over half, and saved lives.
The strong scientifi c evidence gave inventor Doug Cornell an idea. When he felt a cold about to start he fashioned a smooth copper probe and rubbed it gently in his nose for 60 seconds.
“It worked!” he exclaimed. “The cold never got going.” It worked again every
time. He hasn’t had a single cold for 7 years since.
He asked relatives and friends to try it. They said it worked for them, too, so he patented CopperZap™ and put it on
the market.Soon hundreds
of people had tried it and given feedback. Nearly 100% said the copper stops colds if used within 3 hours after the fi rst sign. Even up to 2 days, if they still
get the cold it is milder than usual and they feel better.
Users wrote things like, “It stopped my cold right away,” and “Is it supposed to work that fast?”
“What a wonderful thing,” wrote Physician’s Assistant Julie. “No more colds for me!”
Pat McAllister, 70, received one for Christmas and called it “one of the best presents ever. This little jewel really works.”
Now thousands of users have simply stopped getting colds.
People often use CopperZap preventively. Frequent fl ier Karen Gauci used to get colds after crowded fl ights. Though skeptical, she tried it several times a day on travel days for 2 months. “Sixteen fl ights and not a sniffl e!” she exclaimed.
Businesswoman Rosaleen says when people are sick around her she uses CopperZap morning and night. “It saved me last holidays,” she said. “The kids
had colds going round and round, but not me.”
Some users say it also helps with sinuses. Attorney Donna Blight had a 2-day sinus headache. When her CopperZap arrived, she tried it. “I am shocked!” she said. “My head cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.”
Some users say copper stops nighttime stuffi ness if used just before bed. One man said, “Best sleep I’ve had in years.”
Copper can also stop fl u if used early and for several days. Lab technicians placed 25 million live fl u viruses on a CopperZap. No viruses were found alive soon after.
Dr. Bill Keevil led one of the teams confi rming the discovery. He placed millions of disease germs on copper. “They started to die literally as soon as they touched the surface,” he said.
People have even used copper on cold sores and say it can completely
prevent outbreaks. The handle is
curved and fi nely textured to improve contact. It kills germs picked up on fi ngers and hands to protect you and your family.
Copper even kills deadly germs that have become resistant
to antibiotics. If you are near sick people, a moment of handling it may keep serious infection away. It may even save a life.
The EPA says copper still works even when tarnished. It kills hundreds of diff erent disease germs so it can prevent serious or even fatal illness.
CopperZap is made in America of pure copper. It has a 90-day full money back guarantee. It is $69.95.

Tennis champion Venus Williams and New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady are among
the athletes that opt for healthy, plant-dominant diets to reach their personal best, a trend that belies some misconceptions about what it means to be vegan. “Going vegan implies a larger, lifestyle choice based on personal ethics, but athletes re-port that they just feel better,” says Brenda Carey, editor-in-chief of Vegan Health and Fitness Magazine. “They’re also surprised at how well they put on muscle after making this dietary change.” A balanced vegan diet can provide everything an active body needs for muscle mass, stamina and recovery while lowering the risk of heart disease. A 2018 meta-analysis of 40 studies published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One concludes that a plant-powered diet fosters a healthier cardio-metabolic profile. According to Dutch researchers, amping up nutrition from plants may also lower the risk of insu-lin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Devo-tees report unexpected perks. “I recover faster. I also have more nat-ural energy without the need for caffeine and reduced inflammation, as confirmed

in blood tests,” says Matt Tullman, manag-ing partner of the community-building website NoMeatAthlete.com and CEO of vegan supplement maker Complement, in Boulder, Colorado.
Nutritional SuperpowersBolstering the diet with foods like quinoa, chia seeds, nut butters and vegan energy powders, as well as combining foods for a more complete protein profile, is impor-tant. For example, pairing whole-grain rice with beans makes a complete protein, says Stefanie Moir, international vegan fitness coach and founder of VeganAesthetics.co.uk, in Glasgow, Scotland. “Eating a wide variety of foods across the plant kingdom ensures that you reach your fitness goals,” says Moir, who trains six days a week and opts for a breakfast of oats with nut butter and chia seeds. “If you want a ‘superfood’ component, you can add cacao powder for antioxidants and a great chocolate taste.” Tullman acknowledges that there are some exceptions to protein requirements—especially for the elderly, individuals with certain chronic diseases and pregnant women—but he notes that daily protein

Mentally, it’s given me more depth of thought and
spiritually connected me with the “YOUniverse” as a whole.
~Torre Washington
For added fortification, some experts recommend supplementing with vegan sources of vitamin B12, especially for active women in their child-bearing years and older individuals, because B12 absorption is compromised as we age. Adding a vegan source of vitamin D is also a wise choice if exposure to natural sunlight is not adequate.
The Big PictureFor the vegan athlete, workout gear that doesn’t contain wool or leather is the way to go. “Making conscious choices expands beyond your plate, and a lot of brands have vegan-friendly shoes,” says Moir. “The difference between ‘plant-based’ and ‘vegan’ has to do with ethical moti-vations and treatment of animals,” says Tullman. “Natural fibers such as cotton and synthetic fabrics like polyester are fine.” The path of vegan fitness can not only offer health benefits, but also a personal connection to the Earth. “It’s given me an opportunity to share my journey with oth-ers and to allow them to reach their own specific goals,” says Washington. “Mentally, it’s given me more depth of thought and spiritually connected me with the ‘YOUni-verse’ as a whole.”

needs are less than we’ve been conditioned to believe. “If you track your macronutri-ents through a day, you’ll find that you’re getting adequate protein.” Professional bodybuilder Torre Washington, in Tamarac, Florida, keeps it simple. “We’re all unique individuals, so it’s up to each person to test things without fear of lack.” The National Acad-emy of Sports Medicine-certified coach loves antioxidant-rich blueberries, filling apples and potassium-packed bananas, and tends to choose calorically lower, nutritionally dense foods during periods that he’s competing. Carey suggests vegan meal delivery services as an option and vegan-friendly restaurants in a pinch, but attests to an easy system of meal prep for consistency. “Some people like to meal prep one day a week—cooking brown rice, quinoa and chopping veggies. This way, you can just throw it together when it’s time to eat,” she says. “You can also eat more simply and throw a bunch of yummy fruits or veggies into the blender for smoothies or soups.”

For five decades, human rights activist, journal-
ist and author Ronnie Cummins has cam-paigned for natural health and the environ-ment. Since he co-founded the Organic Consumers Association in 1998, the nonprofit has grown to a network that’s 2 million people strong, dedicated to promoting organic food, regenerative farming and commerce through global initia-tives that integrate pub-lic education, market-place pressure, media outreach, litigation and grassroots lobbying. His latest book, Grassroots Rising: A Call to Action on Climate, Farming, Food and a Green New Deal (ChelseaGreen.com/product/grassroots-rising), focuses on Regeneration International, a global network that he and other advocates spawned in 2015 with a goal to reverse global warming and end world hunger by accelerating the transition to re-generative agriculture and land management.
What is Regeneration International? It’s a movement that spread when people started to understand that the climate crisis was very, very serious and connected to other crises we face—our health and farmers not being able to make a living, for example. It’s about identifying regenerative practices around the world, publicizing them and changing public policy. We use

the slogan, “Healthy soil, healthy ecosys-tem, healthy plants, healthy food, healthy people, healthy animals, healthy climate.” All these living systems are interconnected. Regen-eration of one system impacts another, which will lead to stabilizing the climate.
What’s the difference between organic and regenera-tive farming?Regenerative farming is simply the next stage of organic, focusing on soil health, carbon seques-tration and ecosystem
restoration. We call it “regenerative organic” because people understand organic. But when we devised organic standards, we didn’t completely understand soil biology and the carbon cycle. Now we know that there’s important biological life below the soil. We understand carbon sequestration. Regenerative organic farming rebuilds the soil, which improves food, health and eventually, the climate. It’s a transformation of the food system. What will it require to achieve the goals of the Green New Deal, which calls for net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2030? First, consumers need to understand the interconnectedness of things so that they

make decisions to create market pressure. Second, farmers, ranchers and land manag-ers need to use regenerative best practices. Third is political power and policy change to drive regeneration. We need elected officials to understand regenerative ideas and feel pressure from constituents. Of-ficials need to hear that we don’t want our tax money used for degenerative practices. Fourth is money. It will take trillions of dollars over the next decade, with much money coming from government funding. But private investments also need to shift. Our savings, pensions and retirement ac-counts need to be in financial institutions that place assets in regenerative, socially responsible investing.
How can we help address climate change on a personal level? Every time you pull out your wallet, you are either casting your vote for regenera-tion or the continuation of degeneration. Everything you buy is a vote. What you

talk about and do every day is also ex-tremely important. Americans spend half of their food dollars eating out. Learn to cook, invite people over for dinner, teach your kids how to cook. Eating is an agricul-tural act. Everyone should also be active in civic organizations. Run for office. It doesn’t have to be in politics, it could be a conservation committee or school board. Do what you can do best inside this regenerative framework and you will have a big impact. Things aren’t hopeless. It’s plausible that we are going to solve this. Unfortu-nately, it took until now for people to wake up. I believe people have an innate love for nature and other people, but if they’re hopeless and unaware, they’re going to
behave as if they don’t care. There is an in-creasing common awareness and responsi-bility to get the job done. This is a spiritual movement as much as it is an agricultural and alternative energy movement.
What inspired you to write about this issue? About 10 years ago, I learned that regen-erative food, farming and land use, in combination with renewable energy and radical energy conservation, could solve the climate crisis. I did more research, helped form Regeneration International and then saw that there wasn’t a roadmap for regeneration. I needed to write the book so that the climate movement would understand regeneration and the food-farming-regeneration movement would understand climate. And I need for every-one to understand that there is hope.
