Food and Food Sources
- Polyface Farms — Beyond organic farming, one of the premier farms in the United States, located in southern Virginia. They deliver beef, pork, chicken and more to Front Royal and elsewhere. Join the buyer's club through Polyface Yum.
- Organic Consumer's Association — Of all the email newsletters I receive (on all topics), Organic Bytes is the best. I highly recommend you subscribe.
- The "diet" books I think make the most sense:
- The Paleo Diet — a hard core stone-age diet, probably the most suitable to our genetics; here's a review.
- The Omega Diet — similar to the Paleo, but focused on the necessity of a healthy Omega-6 to Omega-3 fatty acid ratio to avoid modern diseases (cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression and violent tendencies, etc.). The book is well annotated with supporting evidence for the author's assertions; here's a review.
- Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats — by Sally Fallon, based on the work of Dr. Weston A. Price. This is both a cook book and an exploration of food, diet, and how ancient food preparation and handling practices increased nutrient content and absorption, while modern practices decrease both, contributing to modern disease.
Complimentary Practices
Chiropractic
- The Healing Arts Center of Georgetown (Washington, DC) - Dr. Reza Zandieh, 3259 Prospect St. NW, Washington, DC 20007, (202) 255-1217
Life Coaching
- Conjunctio with Laura Lund (by phone; she's in Berkeley, CA and may be reached at (510) 612-6429) - Laura was my coach and helped me get my massage business off the ground. She came to me highly recommended and I concur that she's excellent. Laura works with entrepreneurs, creative types, and does much more than just life coaching, incorporating somatics (body awareness) into her work. Her web site says, "with conjunctio, you will embody skills and knowledge that allow you to move more consistently in the direction of fulfillment, well-being, increased energy, pleasure, choice, full self-expression, and wise, effective action."
