Food not Meds: Eat, Love, Live (Volume 1)

By Carol Amendola-D'Anca

John's first clue that his life was about to change was the warning from a Tarot Card reader in New Orleans during his a honeymoon vacation. The cards, the reader said, "Were not good." His life, she said, was never going to be the same. "When does this start?" he asked. "It's happening right now," she replied. And indeed it did....and thus "the call" came.Every life is a story. According to Joseph Campbell, we're all "heroes" in our lives and we pursue "the hero's journey," meeting mentors, challenges, and even evil along the path we're called to walk. Food, Not Meds is the story of Carol and her husband John's journey using both Campbell's allegory and the details of their experience in the medical system as medical insiders. Even with more access to knowledge about the system itself than most, they still didn't get the information they needed until years after they started down the path of heart disease.(This book contains black and white photos of the author, her garden and her favorite heart healthy recipes)About the Author:Carol D'Anca is Nutritionist with more than 20 years experience at three of the top healthcare companies in the world, including one based in Australia.
