Albert Einstein once said, “Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”

Although Einstein uttered the statement more than half a century ago, the truth of his words is evident now more than ever. A close look at the facts shows that the world’s biggest problems — disease, hunger, and environmental destruction — are closely linked to the practice of raising animals for food. With obesity rates at an all-time high and our natural resources dwindling away, the arguments for plant-based eating are getting harder to ignore.

Doing a Food-Mood Journal: Cultivating Awareness

In fact, the longer I am in clinical practice the more convinced I am that lifestyle will always offset even the best medical intervention. And what is often most within my patients’ control to change is how they choose to nourish their bodies. Unfortunately, there is so much conditioning and misinformation these days about food that a big part of my role in working with patients is to get back to basics and help them rediscover a deeper understanding and connection with their food.
