Vitality – The Interview

Giving you a glimpse…
This is a behind the scenes location shot of me, your food alchemist during the interview with Pedram Shojai – host and producer of Vitality – The Movie.

Until then, be well!

Looking forward to appearing in Vitality – The Movie

Your Food Alchemist has been invited to appear in:

Vitality – The Movie
A documentary about health, wellness, and personal empowerment.

Motto- The health insurance model is not working as it should. It is now
time to talk about health assurance.

In these changing times, it is increasingly important that people have the
opportunity to gain the knowledge and therefore the discernment necessary to
make optimal choices for their own well being. As the healthcare debate in
Washington rages on, it is essential to understand that what we are hearing
about is healthcare finance reform- not healthcare reform.
This documentary is setting out to establish what true health and vitality
really are. We are interviewing experts in western, eastern, and holistic
medicines as well as leaders in the green movement. Our focus will be on a
healthy integrative model that focuses on lifestyle, prediction, and
prevention of disease.

Produced and hosted by Pedram Shojai an acclaimed Qi Gong master, master herbalist, and talented Acupuncturist in Southern California. He comes from an unbroken line of Alchemical masters of the Yellow Dragon Monastery in China and is an ordained minister of that tradition.

I am honored to be a part of this production.

A newsworthy testimonial…

For all those interested in learning more about Living Beyond Organic.
This was emailed to me and I felt compelled to share it with You!

Hi Christina,

My name is Dee and I am from Livermore, California! I am 54 years old and
live with my husband Carlos, two sons, and my Shih-tzu, “Charlie”. I have 3
adult children who have left the nest already! I recently was laid off due
to the economy and building slump in the commercial market. I decided to use
this time to get healthier! I have been overweight most of my adult life.
Due to a very stressful job and not exercising or eating healthy, I have
ballooned to almost 250 lbs. I have several allergies and asthma. I have
tried every diet under the sun and most recently have been following the
Weight Watchers plan. I continued to not feel well and the weight seems to
not budge. I have, however, been successful in becoming more active.
Gardening, walking, and going to the gym for strength training have been
added to my routines. I also enjoy riding my bicycle.

I was in San Diego last week with my daughter Katie while she attended a
workshop for her photography business. She and her husband live close to us
in Brentwood, CA and are expecting my first grandchild in August. Her
husband was unable to travel with her so I had the privilege of driving her
down. While she was attending her workshop I decided to spend my time
reading and enjoying the sun in San Diego! The best day was when I walked
into Barnes & Noble in Mira Mesa and the first book I took off the shelf was
yours, “Living Beyond Organic”. Oh my goodness, I couldn’t even wait to
start digging into it. I also couldn’t wait for us to get home. I quickly
found a Whole Foods in La Jolla the next day and purchased a few items to
help me until I got home this past Friday. I can’t thank you enough for what
you shared in your book and how I am anticipating it will literally change
my life!!!! I have been doing everything I can so far….and in just a few
short days feel tremendously improved!! I love how my body is starting to
feel and I have so much more energy. I have told everyone I’ve talked to
since starting about you and your book!!

I also have noticed that I didn’t need to take my allergy medicine
today….I usually can’t even make it to 12 hours without the next dose. I
haven’t used my inhaler for an entire day! I feel like my breathing is much
deeper than it has been in a long while! I don’t think any of this is
coincidence either.

I would love to see more dialogue or blogging on your book where people like
me can interact with each other and ask questions about the lifestyle. I’ve
found your website and Facebook pages but hope to see more interaction in
the future. If there is anything I can do for you to promote your book in
the Northern California area, just let me know! I will tell anyone who will
listen about it! I’m hoping to be able to be a visual picture of the
benefits of this lifestyle in the very near future! We have some great
Farmer’s Markets in this area. Would love to have you come up this way!!

In closing, I would just like to thank you again for your book. I know it
was divine intervention that led me to it that day in San Diego. I’m looking
forward to a new journey to health. My husband has high sugar levels but is
very stubborn about not eating differently. I know if he sees how this is
helping me, that it will be the only way to “get” into his head and have him
see the need to make changes for himself. I also plan to prepare meals very
differently and purchase much healthier food. He can’t escape!

Sincerely,
Dee Martinez

APPRECIATION

Good Morning! A few thoughts: Being appreciated and receiving the love and attention on Mothers Day reminded me of the importance of appreciation not only of our mothers but ALL special people in our lives. Expressing appreciation nourishes our soul. I have chosen to take a moment each day to appreciate everyone in my life… So don’t be surprised when you receive a random email, voicemail, thank you card or just a feeling that someone is thinking of you and sending loving thoughts of appreciation. Just keep it alive and flowing with your thoughts and actions. Suggestions for very busy people: wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual and send appreciation through meditation and visualize those you love smiling and happy. or If waking up earlier doesn’t work for you try making a list of those you want to appreciate and put it under your pillow. Before you fall asleep focus on your appreciation. I hope YOU are enjoying the beautiful sunshine today and taking time out of your busy day to breathe… With love and appreciation, Christina Avaness Your Food Alchemist
