Reply To: Introduce Yourself!
Hey all! My name is Brendon, I live in Nelson, BC, Canada where I work as an organic veggie farmer providing nutrient-dense local food to my community. My background is in healthcare (I have a PharmD from UBC in Vancouver), but chronic health issues during school and soon after graduation put me down a different path in life – phew! I eventually found healing through adapting my diet to fit my body’s (and guts) needs, and it changed my life. I regained my health and realized that the things that were making me ill were also causing the same harms to the Earth and her microbes, and vice versa. I knew that I had to pursue my newfound purpose in life, so I started with getting my hands dirty and working with the soil and plants. I’m in my 4th season of organic farming now and I feel inspired and empowered to take the next step in my journey and officially study Holistic Nutrition. So here I am, excited to learn more and dive deeper into the world of food and nutrition so I can share that knowledge with the people that are needing it the most!! Cheers.
