April 5th - Judith Beck, Ph.D. Cognitive Therapist/Author: The Beck Diet Solution.
http://BeckDietSolution.com
Martin's note: Dr Beck's approach is a psychological program, NOT a "weight loss" diet approach - it's about learning to THINK like a thin person. She employs practiced and proven techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals create natural and lasting change in DOable ways. Seeking real and sustainable solutions from the inside, rather that through "willpower" or fad diets is true to healthful living - we applaud and highly recommend Dr. Beck's book.

http://www.feingold.org/BIOS/biojane.html
Host: Julie Matthews

Julie's note:
I really wish people could understand the importance of AVOIDING the harmful chemicals in the "foods" we are allowed (by government) to eat. With today's health challenges affecting the bodies and minds or our masses, Jane's critical research pinpoints many of the instigators - that, when removed from one's diet have shown dramatic positive results. Much aggresive behavior is connected to inner states of discomfort, exacerbated by the complex and not fully understood biochemical reactions to the artificial ingreadients in many of America's coveted, though offending, foods.

Listen to this conversation with Michael, as he is tuned into what's taking place and helps us gain perspective and positive focus as old paradigms break down, and new ways of being envelope us all.
