I have been interested in nutrition my whole life, having it sparked by a wise mother. I have also been an avid reader of mostly non-fiction related to human health and well being. Many of those books changed the course of my life for the better and I hope that my book, Processed Brains, will help others as well. Understanding the complexity of nutrition and interactions of nutrition in the body I have gleaned from the science some basic ideas that anyone can use. I also used my own personal experience with different diets and their outcomes with a focus on the mental effects.

Achieving a BS in Chemistry in my 50's I was especially interested in the Biochem classes that detailed many reactions in the human body. This knowledge helped me realize that despite the vast amount of research, we are still far from understanding all there is to know. So with this in mind I wrote Processed Brains presenting the many things we do know about what our bodies require and providing some useful guidelines for how you too can become healthier and happier.

Besides reading I love long walks in the forest or beach, meeting with family and friends and D&D.
