 Health

 Consultations

A macrobiotic health consultation is a personal session that focuses on specific health and life style concerns for following a macrobiotic way of life.   The session begins with an extensive evaluation based on visual diagnosis, symptomatic history, personal needs and past life style.  Specific recommendations describe a healthy way of life according to macrobiotic understanding, including dietary  practice and energy flow.  These concepts have been practiced traditionally throughout the world with great success in correcting many conditions of health. We make no guarantee concerning the amelioration of your particular challenges, but if you wish to learn how to enjoy and benefit from our recommendations, we would be pleased to assist you.

Interviews

Non-Credo

Interviews

Yogen Kushi began this internet magazine in May, 2001.   His goal was," To build a strong community of people living macrobiotically."  He accomplished this through monthly updates on macrobiotic affairs; in depth profiles of and interviews with macro people worldwide; educational essays on basic and advanced macro theory and practice; recipes and cooking tips; and answers to personal questions by Michio Kushi and other leading teachers.  Many of my articles were featured in the pages of Non Credo, which we publish here.

Audio Interviews

Scores of individual interviews conducted by Ginat over a period of three years from 2000 to 2003 are available here. These interviews relay the journeys of macrobiotic friends healing serious health issues either through personal involvement or as macrobiotic counselors.  They form the precursor to an upcoming book on health and healing called Food, Faith & Healing.
