I love to learn although much of my education has been informal over the years. I have always had an interest in nutrition, or at least since I went vegan at age 19 (I am no longer vegan.)
Some of my learning has been motivated by personal need – due to my struggles with anxiety, allergies, or Hashimoto’s, for instance. Or because of family issues with allergies and Raynaud’s. There is also a strong incidence of cancer in my family which motivates me to learn about behavioral epigenetics – our ability to turn on or off genetic switches depending on lifestyle choices (for instance, our social or emotional experiences, diet and nutrition, and exposure to toxins).
Listed below are some of the educational experiences I have forked out money for – this doesn’t scratch the surface of the thousands of hours of webinars (thank you internet!), reading, asking questions, trial & error, and so on that have contributed to my training.
