My wife, Alicia, is awesome.
Essentially, everything I do, I do for her. It’s a cliche, but love is like that.
When I was diagnosed with my blockages, she never lost her step, she stood up straight and tackled it head on. She took control and created the plan for beating the diagnosis. She read Dr. Esselstyn’s, Prevent & Reverse Heart Disease and then she told me what to do.
You have taken wonderful care of me. My foundation is so strong with you by my side. I tease you often but you are a rock. No matter what kind of storm we are going through you stand tall against it and tackle it head on. You handle life in a very aggressive manner and I truly respect it. Many people say they stand for their principles and ethics but you really do.
Having a core set of values and knowing what is right and wrong sets you apart and provides you with the tools to handle life and its many challenges. You adapt and you react to influences affecting us in the short term, but long term you have a good idea where we stand, what we believe.
This last year has been amazing. It was a very dangerous year yet we came out on top. You took the situation and made it a positive one; in fact we thrived from it. That is truly remarkable and you should be very proud of yourself.
She does not stop there, the job is not complete. She continues to build on her knowledge and is constantly striving to perfect it.
Congratulations on your degree from Cornell in Plant Based Nutrition!
Love Ian

Way to go Alicia! Congratulations.
You and Ian are a beacon for the rest of us to follow. Thank you for shining so brightly in a world that tends to like keeping the masses in a perpetual fog.
Congrats Alicia!! Thanks for getting me started with the trip to WholeFoods and all of the follow up! Greatly appreciated
I agree. Your wife is awesome. Great job!!!
Looking forward to continuing to learn from both of you.
Beautiful!
I’m doing the same for my husband, but he had a different illness. We also started down the road to Plant-based eating after reading The China Study. And I’ve signed up for the same course your wife just passed! Starting this week! Can’t wait. I’m so happy to hear that there are other couples doing the same thing! Way to go and you are one lucky guy.
That is quite a coincidence. What would we do without our wives leading the charge, we would still be sitting in caves! I have a bunch of questions if you are open to it? wholefed@gmail.com.
Yes I am!
How did your wife like the course? I’m thinking about taking it, but it’s pretty expensive. I already know quite a bit about plant based eating.
The course was worth it. It was in depth and the teachers were excellent, Jeff Novick, McDougal, Brendan Brazier, etc… We knew a lot going in and know a lot more coming out.
When we went Plant Based we did it with very little knowledge other than reading a few books. After the course we really understand “why” we are eating the way we do. My wife is consulting now and the demand for this type of nutirion is very strong.
Feel free to contact my wife anytime, wholefed@gmail.com.
