My Library

(A few of) my source of wisdom!!

I love love love books!!  And I’ve developed an amazing library of insight on the subject of nutrition: plant-based, vegetarian, vegan, raw vegan, living foods, etc.    These books have been an amazing source of information as I learn and explore the world of nutrition to find the best nutritional fit-for-me.   You can visit my Shop to start to build your own library.  In addition to the books I’ve also listed a few key video’s that I have found to be very informative over the years.
