“My journey with whole foods began the day I met Connie. Prior to that I felt I was very health conscious and knew what healthy eating was (cous cous and nonfat yogurt are great right?!). Wow was I wrong. Learning about the philosophy of whole food eating and actually how to put it into practice in my everyday routine was life changing. My health challenges that had plagued me my entire life suddenly began to shift and I was experiencing complete balance on all levels of wellness. Whole food eating in my opinion is the only way to create true wellness in body, mind and spirit. I have many thanks to give to Connie and Bill for helping set me on the path of dietary truth and now she is sharing her wonderful knowledge with this book. What a gift!”
