WHAT ABOUT MACROBIOTICS?

Picture
In simple terms, macrobiotics is the application of common sense life principles  that have been around since the beginning of time (as we know it) of which we are all intuitively aware but which often eludes us due to the cacophony of competing interests in our daily lives. Its principles  help answer common concerns and questions (which I,until discovering macrobiotics, had no answers for) such as "Why do I have brain fog today but not yesterday?" "Why can't I control my food cravings, my moods, my rage sometimes or all the time?" "why these waves of depression, anxiety and dread for no apparent reason" "Why do I have intrusive thoughts-are they real?"  "Why do I have bags under my eyes?" "Why does my child get sick and act out?" "Why do I have acid reflux?"  "Why this covid19?"  "Why the out of control cancer rates, heart disease rates,diabetes, high blood pressure etc.?" "Why can't I get pregnant?" "What about gluten?" What about getting enough protein?" and  broader questions such as "Why does our food have less minerals?"  "is the planet terminally ill?"  "How do my food choices affect the health of the planet?" and "How can I make a difference?"  For the answer to and solution for these and more impossible questions, take a look at what we have to offer-you won't not be disappointed!

ABOUT ME: ​
Macrobiotics is not about me but here is a little bit about me anyway:   I have been practicing, learning and teaching macrobiotics for almost 40 years. I have a couple of post secondary degrees (BA, LLb.) and have been practicing criminal law for as long as I have been macrobiotic.  I raised three children and I am now blessed with 6 beautiful grandchildren!


  • Learning about macrobiotics was like remembering or waking up to something that had been dormant but just beneath the surface of my consciousness as long as I could remember.  It also seemed too good to be true to discover that there was the possibility that I could actually be in charge of the direction of my own and my childrens' health!  And the side effect was that a macrobiotic lifestyle is about the best way you can live for the sake of the health of the planet!  It's been interesting being ahead of the curve all these years! Who knew? I eventually studied with Michio Kushi, Ed Esko, Denny Waxman and many other world renowned macro- biotic teachers. 

  • I have taught macrobiotics in a maximum security prison, at a methadone centre, in countless community centres, church basements, schools and yoga studios. I have cooked for sick people and taught others who have since recovered from so called terminal illnesses like cancer and multiple sclerosis.

The Macrobiotic Centre of Toronto was founded in 2011 with an actual physical location in mid town Toronto.  The physical location closed in 2018 and, at least for now, all the programs are online.  We have created a supportive and fun community through the 30 Day Start Up Program (the best value for $100 you will ever find because included in the program is a lifetime membership to weekly meetings as well as a comprehensive manual and one month of unlimited support.

Culinary Medicine Level 1 is starting up again-online-on Saturday, January 30, 2021. This course if designed to teach the basics of the macrobiotic diet and lifestyle to support the creation of your own daily practice..  It is a 7 day program stretched out over several months so that there is plenty of time to incorporate what you have learned into your daily life!  It is a certificate program.  

There's lots of free stuff on my website and now on youtube.  Free recipes.  To learn about principles and practice go to my Youtube channel where you will find the Macro Mondays series of talks and also my interviews with some of the macro illuminati.  And then when you are ready to deepen your practice or just have some fun, register for cooking classes and programs.​
