My name is Alexis Sicklick, and I am the founder and chef of Syncopated, where I offer you the chance to dine to the 'beet' of my culinary rhythm through playful, vegetable-forward pop-up dinners.
With over 10 years of professional experience in some of New York's top restaurants, I am grounded in a strong foundation from which I love to break away whenever possible. Along with graduating at the top of my class from both The Culinary Institute of America and Cornell University's School of Hotel Administration, I spent time in the kitchens of Balaboosta – where I am currently the Executive Chef.
I had the privilege of competing on Food Network’s first-ever plant-based cooking competition hosted by Tabitha Brown. Not only was the show focused on satisfying those with vegan diets, but we also had to incorporate various food preferences and restrictions in each round.
Feel free to follow my culinary adventures at www.syncopatednyc.com or on Instagram (@chefleci).
Caramelized Apple Soup
Yield: 8 portions
As Needed water
2 white onions
7 apples, any variety/mix
½ bunch thyme
½ bunch oregano
4 cinnamon sticks
4 star anise
1 cup hazelnuts
2 lemons, juiced
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
4 cipollini onions, cut in quarters
Slice the onions 1/8-inch thick.
In a wide soup pot over medium heat, add about 6 tablespoons of water and all the onions. Cook the onions until they turn golden brown, adding more water as necessary, about 2 T at a time, and stirring often so they do not stick. Place the lid on the pot in between stirs to help the onions caramelize more evenly.
While the onions are cooking, peel and rough chop six apples into medium-sized pieces. Once the onions are golden brown, add the apples and cook until they also turn golden brown and begin to break down, but not too much so they lose their moisture and body – you can raise the heat a bit for this step. Stir often to prevent them from sticking.
Once the apples turn soft and brown, add water to cover and the herbs and spices in a sachet of cheesecloth for quick removal later. Top with a lid and bring to a boil.
After the soup boils, turn it to a simmer and let it cook, covered, for about 1 hour.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed – feel free to add in some ground cinnamon or grated star anise if desired.
With an immersion or regular blender (careful, it is hot – use small batches for the second option), blend until the soup is smooth and velvety.
While the soup is cooking, preheat the oven to 325°F. Cut the hazelnuts in half and toast them in the oven for about 10 minutes/until they become amber in appearance. Additionally, cut the remaining apple into large squares and roast on a separate tray for 8 minutes just to soften them slightly and intensify their apple flavor.
In a small pot, bring the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and water to a boil. Add the quartered cipollinis and cook until soft but still holding together, about 5-7 minutes.
To Serve: Pour the soup into bowls and garnish with the toasted hazelnuts, roasted apples, and pickled cipollinis.
Macadamia Nut & Delicata Squash Crumble Bar
Delicata Squash Jam
1-2 delicata squash depending on the size
3 T silan
½ tsp cinnamon
Splash vanilla extract
¼ cup dried cherries (or any other dried fruit)
¼ cup no sugar added dark chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
Trim the ends of the delicata squash, cut it in half vertically, and remove the seeds.
Roast face down in the oven until caramelized and soft, about 20-25 minutes.
Let cool, then scoop the flesh from the skin with a spoon and mix in a small bowl with the silan, cinnamon, vanilla, dried cherries, and chocolate chips.
Macadamia Nut Crumble
1 1/3 cup macadamia nuts
¾ cup almond flour
¾ cup rolled oats
4 tsp ginger, ground
½ tsp baking powder
1 1/3 T silan
6 T water
While the squash is roasting, in a food processor, pulse the macadamia nuts until they are roughly chopped.
In a large bowl, combine the macadamia nuts with the almond flour, rolled oats, ground ginger, baking powder, silan, and water. Mix until well-incorporated.
Press a little more than half of this mixture into a thin layer to cover the bottom of a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan.
Spread the squash jam over the crust.
Crumble the rest of the macadamia nut mix over the top.
Bake in a 350˚F oven until the top is golden brown, about 22 minutes.
To Serve: Cool just a touch, then cut into 16 triangles and serve warm.

Dr. Douglas J. Lisle, Ph.D.is the co-author of The Pleasure Trap available here:
amazon.com/dp/1570671974?tag=onamzchefajsh-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=1570671974&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.1GNPDCAG4A86S
Dr. Doug Lisle is an evolutionary psychologist and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health and Happiness. He and his colleagues (Jennifer Howk and Richard Seidel) have developed a revolutionary method for approaching life challenges and improving self-confidence and self-esteem. They describe their approach as Esteem Dynamics — an approach with clinical insights derived from evolutionary psychology.
Central figures having major influence on the development of Esteem Dynamics include Richard Dawkins, John Tooby and Leda Cosmides, David Buss, Robert Trivers, Steven Pinker, and Geoffrey Miller. All of these individuals are considered world-leading theorists in evolutionary theory and human psychology. Somewhat surprisingly, insights from these trailblazers has yet to reach mainstream clinical psychology, and thus major advances stemming from some of the world’s greatest thinkers have yet to be systematically applied to problems of helping people improve their lives. Esteem Dynamics is the first such effort, and weds Dr. Lisle’s 30-years of clinical experience to the deep insights into human nature only recently available via evolutionary psychology.
Dr. Lisle received his undergraduate education from the University of California, San Diego. He completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Virginia, and was then appointed Lecturer in Psychology at Stanford University. His research and clinical interests include health and wellness, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, the treatment of anxiety and depression, the genetics of individual differences, and optimizing achievement motivation. In addition to his work with Esteem Dynamics, Dr. Lisle lectures widely on health and wellness.

Dr. Tuttle will be discussing some of the main ideas in his best-selling book, The World Peace Diet, which has been called one of the most important books of the 21st century, and has been published in 17 languages. It provides the foundation of a more conscious society based on understanding the consequences of animal agriculture. As editor of the book Circles of Compassion, which discusses the interconnectedness of social justice issues, as well as of Buddhism and Veganism, and author of a book on developing intuition, he explores and illuminates the invisible connections between our culture, our food, and the source of our broad range of problems—and the way to a positive transformation in our individual and collective lives. Anyone wishing to understand the big picture of our culture and why we have the unyielding dilemmas we face, and how we can solve them, will be fascinated by these provocative, challenging, and ultimately inspiring ideas.
Dr. Will Tuttle, visionary author, educator, and inspirational speaker, is author of the acclaimed Amazon #1 best-seller The World Peace Diet, published in 17 languages. He has presented widely throughout the world, in all 50 states and over 50 countries over the past 40 years, sharing the vegan message in over 4.000 lecture presentations.
A recipient of the Courage of Conscience Award and the Empty Cages Prize, he is also author of Your Inner Islands: The Keys to Intuitive Living, as well as editor of Circles of Compassion: Essays Connecting Issues of Justice and Buddhism and Veganism: Essays Connecting Spiritual Awakening and Animal Liberation.
Devoted to cultural healing and awakening, he is a former Zen monk and Dharma Master in the Zen tradition, and his Ph.D. degree from the University of California, Berkeley, focused on educating intuition and altruism in adults. He has taught college courses in creativity, humanities, religion, and philosophy, and is also a composer and concert pianist. He is noted for his clear and inspiring presentations, and is featured in many documentary films, including Cowspiracy; A Prayer for Compassion; Vegan: Everyday Stories; and HOPE: What You Eat Matters.

Connie and Bill have been helping people restore health and lose weight naturally for over 30 years with a whole foods plant based diet. Having overcome their own health challenges with this diet and lifestyle, they opened an all organic, WFPB restaurant in Santa Fe, NM in 1993. With continued requests from customers to learn how to cook this way, their career took a turn and they began teaching and educating on the value of WFPB rather than preparing it. Most recently they shifted to being SOS-Free and have noticed some wonderful benefits from that, lowered blood pressure, weight loss and more tastes in the food.
Several years ago they came across a new understanding about the nature of the mind and how life works that has helped many of their clients unwind their unhealthy eating habits without willpower or self-discipline.
They’re passionate about what they do and so thankful for having learned the power of whole food to restore health and maintain a vital, energetic lifestyle these past three decades.
You can find them and hundreds of amazing, vegan, SOS-Free recipes on their website at amazinghealtheffortlessly.com/or contact them directly at billandconnie@mac.com
Raspberry Bars or Cookies
2 Bananas
8 Dates
¼ cup almond or peanut butter
2 cups Rolled oats
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
¼ cup chopped almonds or peanuts
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries, or fruit of your choice: blueberries, strawberries, apple, mango, etc.
Preheat the oven to 375° F.
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana with fork until it’s a soft puree. Cut each date into tiny pieces and add to the mashed bananas.
Add the nut butter, rolled oats, cinnamon and chopped nuts to the bowl and mix until fully blended.
Fold in the raspberries (or other fruit).
Pour the dough into a parchment lined 8” x 8” baking dish and press down to even it out to make bars, or drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto a cookie sheet, pressing them down slightly to make cookies.
Bake until lightly brown, 20-25 minutes for bars, 10-15 minutes for cookies. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
Wild Rice Sage Dressing
4 cups wild rice blend cooked grain
2 cups rolled oats
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 stalks celery, diced
2 tablespoons dried sage
12-14 mushrooms, diced
2 apples, cubed
1 pear, cubed
½ cup pecans
ground black pepper to taste
1½ cups cashew cream (use recipe below or any regular plant-based milk)
Optional if not going salt-free:
½ teaspoon sea salt
We always eat this dressing with cranberry or mushroom gravy, and with these added tastes don’t notice that it’s salt-free.
Add all ingredients except the cashew cream to a large bowl and mix well. Pour the cashew cream over the mix and stir to combine well.
Scoop into an 8 x 12 casserole and cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees F. until onion and celery are soft, approximately 2 hours.
Cashew Cream
1 cup cashews
2 cups filtered water
Add cashews and water to a high-speed blender and blend on high for 60 seconds.
NOTE: This makes more than needed for the Dressing, but requires this much volume to blend well

Vegan Fruitcake, Oil- and Sugar-Free
Makes four 8” x 4” loaves or can be made in other pans
The fruit. About 2 pounds of dried fruit. Chop the fruit up into small pieces with a heavy, sharp knife. (Feel free to substitute for any of these or change the proportions, but, for me, the dried apples are key to a successful final product.)
Dried apples (6 oz.)
Dried pineapple (4 oz.)
Date bits (4 oz.)
Dried apricots (4 oz.)
Raisins or currants (4 oz.)
Dried cranberries (4 oz.)
Dried cherries (4 oz.)
The nuts. 1 pound pecans or other nuts, chopped.
The pans. Very flexible. To serve as a dessert cake, use about half the batter in an 8” or 9” round cake pan. Sometimes I use four disposable 8” x 4” aluminum pans. Other times I use smaller loaf pans (so that I can give them as gifts). Tube pans and cupcake molds are fine, too. Line pans with parchment paper.
The chia mixture. Whisk the following ingredients together in a small bowl. Let sit 5 minutes.
1.25 cups warm water
3 Tablespoons chia seeds, ground to a powder in a spice or coffee grinder, or a bullet blender
The dry ingredients. Sift the following ingredients together in a medium bowl.
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1.5 Tablespoons baking powder
2.5 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons cloves
2 teaspoons allspice
2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 teaspoon mace
1/2 teaspoon salt
The wet ingredients. Whisk or stir the following ingredients together in a large bowl.
1.5 cups date syrup or maple syrup
1/2 cup prune paste (see Mary McDougall's recipe)
1/2 cup unsweetened nondairy milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons rum extract (optional)
Make the batter. Preheat the oven to 275°F.
Add the chia egg mixture to the wet ingredients and stir or whisk by hand to combine well.
Add half the dry ingredients stir to incorporate them without over-beating.
Repeat with the second half of the dry ingredients.
Add the fruit and nuts and use a wooden spoon (or, if needed, your hands) to mix it all up.
Assemble and bake. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans, pressing down very well to fill in the corners. You can fill the pans almost to the brim because the cake will rise only slightly. For a round cake pan, I recommend filling it about half-full.
Place the pans in the middle or lower third of the oven for 1-2 hours, until a knife or testing straw comes out clean, the top is a shade darker, and the fruit on top starts to change to darker colors (the dried apples are an especially good indication of this). Timing is extremely variable. Small cakes will cook more quickly. Test each cake separately and take it out as soon as your tester comes out clean. (My experience has been that almost any size takes at least an hour. Most take between 1 and 1.5 hours.)
When the cakes are done, let them cool on racks in their pans. When they are cool, use a plastic knife to loosen any stuck spots. Remove from the pan and store in an airtight wrapping in the refrigerator. The cakes last at least a month in the refrigerator and can be frozen for about a month. They do not last as long as traditional fruitcake.

An imaging guided surgeon (interventional radiologist) & neuroradiologist, author of nutrition, medical & study skills books, Peter Rogers MD is the "Spartan Vegan."
In college he was student athlete of the year at Stanford. Graduated 1st in medical school class.
Dr. Rogers works as neuroradiologist, but also did fellowship imaging guided surgery (interventional radiology) at Harvard. He got fat in 30's and learned his way out. He was one of best medical students in USA in biochemistry and tries to understand pathophysiology. Has written a books about nutrition & study skills including "How to improve blood flow," "Hot topics in nutrition," "Straight A at Stanford & on to Harvard," "How to raise IQ, & become a genius."
Stanford university student athlete of the year, 1985. University of Illinois medical school award for best male medical student in class; best student in pathology; highest board scores in class of 333 students; biochemistry score 780/800, possibly the highest in the USA (biochem is the most difficult subject in medical school). Biochem is “considered” to include nutrition. Residency at Northwestern with 99% board scores. Fellowship in interventional radiology (imaging guided surgery) at Harvard. Fellowship in neuroradiology at Rush.
Author of multiple books about nutrition, reducing risk of disease, and study skills. Discovered almost all the major medical textbooks are 50-100 years out of date, and often, completely wrong. Secret desire #1 = to become a nutrition doctor, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. Secret desire #2 = to rewrite the major medical textbooks, but can’t, because there’s no money in it. The shocking truth is that most medical textbooks are essentially worthless, because they do no include nutrition, and most disease is caused by poor nutrition.

AL SCHMIDT IS ENJOYING LIFE AT 88!!!
AL'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL: youtube.com/@UCqQWuVxkkL-XAKFQmMYazCQ
At the age of 80, six years ago, I was practically a full-time cardiac patient, on death’s door. I had already suffered decades of cardiac events: three heart attacks, five-vessel bypass surgery, and the implantation of three stents. Due to my severe angina, I could not climb stairs, and could not walk to my neighbor’s house without severe and frightening chest pains. I could not take the trash out. I installed in my house as I could not climb stairs. My existence was limited to sitting in front of the computer or the TV—and I hate TV. I had become depressed. I kept a daily diary of my medical events, and the most overused word in the diary was “pain.” I knew that he had reached End Stage Heart Failure. In my diary, he made a note to look into receiving End of Life Counseling.
“Grasping at straws,” I signed up for a cardiac rehab program at Kaiser. I could barely walk to the meeting room. A dietitian made a presentation advocating the plant-based diet. I had nothing to lose, so I decided to try it. They advised me to read three books: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, by Caldwell B. Esselstyn, MD, How Not to Die, by Michael Greger, MD, and The China Study, by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and Thomas M. Campbell II, MD. I read all three books and they changed my life, or rather saved it.
After four weeks on a whole food, plant-based diet, I went to Lake Tahoe and walked for over a mile, at an elevation of 6,000 feet. I then climbed two flights of stairs to return to my car, without effort. Once back home, I began to resume my long-forsaken habit of walking over a mile and a half. My serum cholesterol fell from 250 to 149 in two months. It is now 115. In the same time, he lost 30 pounds, going from 180 to 150. (He’s 5’11”.) Again after 6 years it is now 135. My kidney function went from 40% to normal. The dark blue skin on my ankles, caused by the pooling of blood under the skin due to chronic venous insufficiency (the blood failing to flow upward as it should) disappeared in less than a year. His angina pains went away. So did the dizziness, weakness, disorientation, and recurrent falling.
After all of these improvements, I returned to see his cardiologist. In fact, instead of taking the elevator, I walked up four flights of stairs to see her. When she saw how improved I was, she asked if he would be willing to share his story, and arranged for me to speak before 100 medical professionals!
Today, I am enjoying life, enjoying food, and feel full of energy. I am never tempted to stray back to the way I used to eat. Why would I? I had no energy, could not do anything, and was afraid of dying.

Rachel's Famous Cinnamon Roll Recipe:
myplantstrongfamily.com/recipe/amazing-wfpb-cinnamon-rolls
Rachel Echols struggled with food addiction, cravings, obesity, high cholesterol, migraines, fatigue, and other health problems for years before her doctor recommended a whole food plant-based diet. As soon as she embraced it, her health dramatically changed. She lost 90 pounds, lowered her cholesterol 100 points, and regained her health. Rachel knows this healthy lifestyle will help her reduce the risk of chronic diseases that run rampant in her family, including diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and more.
Overcoming emotional eating and food addictions while being the only member of her household eating a whole food plant-based diet presented many challenges. Rachel was able to overcome these obstacles with practice, persistence, and unwavering determination. Learning mental, physical, and environmental coping techniques were essential to Rachel’s success and she enjoys sharing these tips with others who are dealing with similar challenges.
Although Rachel has never been an athlete or enjoyed exercise, this lifestyle change has enabled her to embrace exercise. She started with walking around the block every day and as the weight came off, she increased the distance of her walks, and added strength training, including planks and pushups, yoga, and eventually running. In October 2022, she ran her first half marathon.
Rachel’s weight loss story has been featured in First for Women Magazine (Fall 2021), and her WFPB testimonial was featured in Health Science Magazine (Spring 2022).
With a desire to help others with what she has learned, Rachel has started a support group on Facebook to help others stick to a whole food plant-based diet, lose weight, start and maintain realistic exercise habits, and manage living with a spouse or family members who follow the Standard American Diet (SAD).
Rachel is also a monarch butterfly conservationist and has a certified Monarch Waystation in her yard. She is inspired by the miracle which a caterpillar experiences to transform into a butterfly and believes in the transformative power within us all. It takes time and effort, but we CAN change and transform to achieve our dreams.
Rachel is 49 years old and lives in Loveland, Ohio with her husband of 30 years. They have two grown children. She has been following a whole food plant-based diet for almost 4 years.

Robynne K. Chutkan, MD, FASGE
robynnechutkan.com
Dr. Chutkan is a board-certified gastroenterologist and the bestselling author of the digestive health books Gutbliss, The Microbiome Solution, The Bloat Cure, and the newly released The Anti-Viral Gut.
Dr. Chutkan received her bachelor’s from Yale University and her medical degree from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, where she also did her internship and residency and served as chief resident. She completed her fellowship in gastroenterology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York and has been on the faculty at Georgetown University Hospital since 1997. In 2004 she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness, an integrative gastroenterology practice incorporating microbial optimization and nutritional therapy as part of the therapeutic approach to digestive disorders.
A former Board member of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), Dr. Chutkan also chaired the ASGE Training Committee and Public Relations Committee. She has authored dozens of journal articles and book chapters and has been a featured lecturer throughout the United States and Europe.
Dr. Chutkan has her own PBS Special, entitled “Gutbliss”. She’s been a featured expert on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, The Dr Oz Show, The Doctors, The Megyn Kelly Show, and in numerous health publications, including the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Atlantic. She’s an avid squash player, runner, and yogi, and is passionate about introducing more dirt, sweat, and vegetables into people’s lives.

robynnechutkan.com/anti-viral-gut-master-class
Dr Chutkan’s latest book, The Anti-Viral Gut is a practical plan for strengthening the incredible antiviral defenses located in your gut and resolving symptoms.
Multiple studies have now confirmed a dramatic link between the health of our microbiome—the trillions of bacteria that live in our digestive tract—and the strength of our immune system. Low-fiber diets, limited exposure to nature, and overzealous use of pharmaceuticals have messed up our microbiome, making many of us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally should be. But the good news is that unlike our genes, our microbiome is constantly evolving, offering a pathway back to health for those who are suffering, and proven protection for those who want to stay well. In The Anti-Viral Gut, Dr. Robynne Chutkan explains this groundbreaking research and offers a prescriptive plan for anyone trying to avoid or recover from a viral illness to rehab their gut microbes and restore their health.
In this powerful road map to strengthening the gut-immune system, Dr. Chutkan gives practical advice for balancing both your internal and external environment by optimizing diet, exercise, sleep, and time outdoors to boost your host defenses and overall health. The Anti-Viral Gut includes:
a step-by-step nutrition plan, including recipes to improve your good gut bacteria and an explanation of which foods and preparation methods bring you the fastest results
protocols for replacing immune-suppressive, microbiome-disruptive medications with safer alternatives
guidelines for exercise, sleep hygiene, and stress reduction methods for working mindfulness, breath-work, and meditation into your daily routine
advice on maximizing the potent antiviral effects of nature

FOR TODAY'S RECIPE:
karensteiner.com/fast-ethiopian-inspired-meal
From Depressed, Food Addicted Vegetarian to Healthy, Happy, and Athletic Vegan
I spent a lifetime fighting with my body, losing and then regaining weight probably a dozen times. I’ve also struggled with major depression since I was around 10 years old. On top of this I’ve hated just about anything that had to do with physical activity. I’d usually go on an exercise binge along with the diet du jour but, like the diet it never lasted long.
Skip ahead to 2013, 9 years ago, I was seriously overweight, the depression surged, my knees and feet ached terribly. When I started going to bed at night hoping I wouldn’t wake up I knew it was time to do something. But the thought of another diet and exercise program turned my stomach.
Then I stumbled across Geneen Roth’s Women, Food, and God. Through that book I discovered the art of mindful eating and it started me down a very different path. Mindful eating opened up a whole new world for me. I started to see my overeating patterns more clearly, and was able to kindly and compassionately identify myself as an addict. Gradually I was able to let go of many of the foods that were giving me the most difficulty.
Mindful eating also helped me see that dairy was wreaking havoc on my body, so, on December 15, 2015 I decided to give up dairy as a two week experiment. I could have never expected such a dramatic result. I felt so good that I extended the experiment for another month and then decided to go a full 6 months. After 6 months of no dairy I felt amazing, my mood had improved, I’d lost 20 pounds with no effort. With the 20/20 of hindsight I could see my love of cheese for what it really was — Addiction. There was no going back.
Next, I gradually gave up sugar, oil and salt and added lots more vegetables to my diet and started to exercise. What a surprise. I LOVE to exercise. In the past I’d done it grudgingly and hated it. But now I really like the way it feels to work up a sweat. In general I just feel so much better in my own skin. And I lost a total of 90 pounds to boot!
Life is a journey, not a destination. I still consider myself a work in progress. However, over the years I’ve weathered a number of storms - the kind that life is just going to throw at you - and I haven’t ever even had a thought about going back to my old eating habits.
Now, I help other people as a coach. I want to be the kind of coach that I went looking for and couldn’t find. I’ve identified the things that worked for me and they are:
Mindful Eating: The first step in changing any habit is showing up
Generosity: Be kind to yourself regardless of the number on the scale
Patience: Life is a marathon, not a sprint. You can’t run a marathon at a sprinter’s pace
The Big Picture: It’s important to step back and look at the foodscape in which we live
The Food: Of course it’s about the food, it’s just not all about the food
Wisdom and Wellbeing: This is the end result, peace with food and peace with yourself go hand in hand
I also teach an online class that will be running in December called Breaking the Food Seduction One Mindful Bite at a Time. The course is designed to be an introduction to why it’s so hard to stop eating and what you can do about it. The special focus this time will be on holiday eating.

Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the co-founder of TrueNorth Health Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides medical and chiropractic services, psychotherapy and counseling, as well as massage and bodywork. He is also director of the Center's groundbreaking residential health education program.
Articulate, inspiring and energetic, Dr. Goldhamer is one of the most pioneering and dedicated visionaries in health today. An outspoken professional who doesn't shy away from a spirited debate, he is deeply committed to helping people stuck in self-destructive cycles reclaim their ability to change their lives.
Dr. Goldhamer has supervised the fasts of thousands of patients. Under his guidance, the Center has become one of the premier training facilities for doctors wishing to gain certification in the supervision of therapeutic fasting.
Dr. Goldhamer was the principal investigator in two landmark studies. The first: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Hypertension" appeared in the June 2001 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Its publication marked a turning point in the evolution of evidence supporting the benefits of water-only fasting. The second study: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Borderline Hypertension," appeared in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Currently, Dr. Goldhamer is directing a team that is developing a prospective study, incorporating random assignment and long-term follow-up on the cost and clinical outcomes in the treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure with fasting and a health-promoting diet.
After completing his chiropractic education at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon, Dr. Goldhamer traveled to Australia, where he became licensed as an osteopathic physician. He is the author of The Health Promoting Cookbook and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering The Hidden Force That Undermines Health and Happiness.

EDITH AGOSTON
I’m a vegan health coach, food blogger and personal trainer, currently in St. Petersburg Florida. I’ve been passionate about healthy living my entire life but it wasn’t until my early thirties that I found the courage to leave my first career and pursue my passion. This shift started when I began to experience digestive issues and the doctors I went to see at the time only offered me prescription drugs as treatment. I intuitively knew that wasn’t the right approach and began doing my own research to heal myself and through this process I found the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. I quickly enrolled, became a certified nutrition health coach and began taking steps to make this my new career. During this time also adopted a vegan diet and consider it to be the best decision I ever made! Since launching my business I’ve partnered with more than a few dozen brands and the Hippocrates Health Institute to help spread the message of healthy plant based living. I offer both online and in person coaching and I use Medical Medium protocols to help anyone dealing with chronic health issues.

About NutraMilk:
NutraMilk is the only patented processor/blender appliance that can produce fresh, ready to drink alternative milks and tasty butters, dips, spreads, smoothies, and other delicious treats in as little as 7 minutes. Its 1800 RPM motor breaks down nuts to their cellular level, releasing the enzymes, in a matter of minutes eliminating the need for soaking while filtering skins with phytic acid in the process. Traditional methods of making nut milk at home require at least 3 pieces of equipment and plenty of time for the ingredients to be soaked overnight, but with the NutraMilk you can cut out the extra tools and the time investment. Simply add nuts, press butter, add water, press mix, then dispense. Perfect alternative milks every time! Not to mention, it creates virtually zero waste, as the machine leaves you with nothing left over, just skins.
Vegify
Vegify is the easy way to add veggies to your day! We unite healthy and easy to make nutritious eating as simple as mix, coat or top. Mix Vegify into your plant-based burger to use as a binding agent. Coat your tofu in Vegify for a crunchy coating.
