The Macrobiotic Action Plan
Your MAP to Greater Health & Happiness

The Macrobiotic Action Plan Your MAP to Greater Health & Happiness (or simply, The MAP) was originally published in 2016. Shortly after publication, I unpublished all of my plant-based / macrobiotic books and cookbooks before returning home to our hearts with a macrobiotic diet. I explain why - what happened, and what we learned from this in this regrettable decision to give up our plant-based / vegan diet and lifestyle, along with all of our books, websites, blogs, YouTube channels, and more - in the Updated Preface of The Macrobiotic Action Plan.

The Macrobiotic Action Plan is YOUR MAP to self-healing! It's very useful as one reviewer on Amazon stated. This easy-to-read guide is chockfull of tips, charts, meal plans, recipes, lifestyle suggestions, and simple guided visualizations to help you overcome obstacles, and realize your health goals.

The Macrobiotic Action Plan is a synopsis of information drawing from my decades of training in macrobiotics, Chinese medicine and Chinese 5-Elements Theory, Ayurvedic medicine, Yoga philosophy, and as certified clinical hypnotherapist and Holistic C.O.R.E. Counselor. Everything from the Acknowledgements and Updated Preface explaining what happened that led to my un-publishing my book, all the way through the several useful Appendices was written to help empower you to make the best choices for your needs, and more consciously create your most joy-filled, healthy, happy life.

More About The Macrobiotic Action Plan

In The Macrobiotic Action Plan, Your MAP to Greater Health & Happiness, I share three criteria to help you determine the best choice of foods ~ those which provide the greatest sources of energy with the least waste ~ personally and ecologically.

The MAP is not an 'eat this, not that' restrictive diet plan, rather, it's more like an operating system to help you feel more clear and empowered about how to make the best choices for your particular needs. A macrobiotic diet is a more nuanced approach to eating, choosing foods based more on their intrinsic energies, and not just their 'nutritional resume.'

In ancient China, the emperor would only pay the Chinese physician if he kept him well. They were not paid if the emperor got sick!

Traditionally, the household chef was responsible for keeping family members in good health. In both Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, the best foods for each individual are based on their inherent constitution and current condition. Imbalances or illnesses can generally be reversed through the use of common foods, special remedies, herbs, spices, and adjustments to how foods are prepared.

In macrobiotics, we center our choices around primary (or principal) and complementary food choices. Food choices, herbs and spices, and cooking styles can all be adjusted seasonally, and personally to help restore and maintain a healthy immune system, and enjoy balanced energy, moods, and a happy, healthy life!

The Macrobiotic Action Plan provides tips, tools, charts, meal plans, and simple recipes ~ all you need to know to get started on a whole-foods, plant-based diet based on universal principles of balance found in Chinese medicine & Macrobiotics.

What type of food can I eat according to The Macrobiotic Action Plan?

Traditional populations world wide follow identifiable patterns of eating that help them thrive for generations. Macrobiotics is based on these Universal principles of balance. It is a more orderly and nuanced approach to eating than typically found in modern Western approaches to diet and nutrition.

The principal foods in The Macrobiotic Action Plan include a variety of whole grains, greens and vegetables, and beans and legumes (or 'grains, greens and beans'), along with fruits, seeds, nuts, miso soups, seaweeds, and special condiments.

Although several earlier macrobiotic books and counselors recommended more restrictive diets intended for people healing from cancer and other chronic illnesses, The Macrobiotic Action Plan is a more simple, flexible approach making it more adaptable to personal needs, budgets and preferences.
