Turning Illness Into Wellness
I have been working with Bauman colleagues to bring Eating for Health™ to China, Africa, and other parts of the world. Why, you might ask? I love connecting with soulful friends who want to grow and are not wed to a techno — AI supreme — short attention, quick-fix culture. The U.S. health market has become glutted with profit first podcasts, programs, and product pitches. I take the road less traveled, offering empowering holistic nutrition and integrative wellness education, my dharma path of service. READ MORE…
Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025–2030: Critique by Dr. Ed Bauman
I created the Eating for Health™ food system as a S.O.U.L-full (Seasonal, Organic, Unprocessed and Local) alternative to the USDA commercial models which over time have evolved from the Four Food Groups to the Food Pyramid, to My Plate.

Dr. Bauman is often asked: “Is it really cost effective for me to buy organic foods?
