What effects are Superfoods having on your life?
Eating Superfoods has affected all areas of my life. Physically, Superfoods give me so much energy that I was able to start a raw chocolate company and health counseling practice while studying at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I am sick so rarely that I have forgotten what it means to "have a cold" and now know what it means to have endless inner fire! I find I need very little sleep and the hours I sleep are very profound and dream filled. My waking hours are spent eating delicious foods that nourish me on every level. Eating Superfoods is not only done with my digestive system - I listen to my intuition and eat the highest quality foods I can find. Giving myself the best foods available is a manifestation of my respect for this body, and for the messages I would like to bring forth in my life. Superfoods are facilitating the fulfilling of my potential - I am more able to do my life's work. I highly recommend Superfoods to all of my clients.

Who are your personal heroes?
David Wolfe, The Mad Cowboy, Neal Barnard, Eric Schlosser, Joshua Rosenthal, Philip McCluskey, Mahatma Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Mother Teresa, Leonaro DaVinci, Marie Curie, George Lucas, Michelangelo, Alex Grey, Naftali Honig, my Mother, anyone who lives with integrity and humility, and who stands for their beliefs and takes care of their bodies, communities, and the planet.

Where are your favorite places to acquire Superfoods?
Anywhere in nature - the woods, city parks (I live in NYC and we can find a plethora of superfoods including burdock, dandelion, and gingko biloba growing free!!!)
