Following a lifetime of what lots of people still think is healthy eating (low-fat, tofu, high-fiber breakfast cereals), Hollie made the transition to eating traditional whole foods many years ago. When she did, she found that not only did her weight stay balanced, but she had more energy than ever. No more mid-afternoon slumps, no more getting sick during stressful deadlines. Already a talented cook, Hollie became intensely interested in how and why food influences health. With a unique ability to simplify complex information, Hollie’s vibrant enthusiasm and straightforward approach to planning and strategizing make her an inspiring coach and guide for Real Cooking’s clients.
Hollie has spoken frequently on the following health topics: digestion, weight control, hormone balance, proper detoxification, and strategies for transitioning to a whole foods diet. Myths and truths about low-fat diets, cholesterol roles in the body, soy food misconceptions and food combining are also favorite topics.
Hollie was a guest speaker at the 2006 Weston Price Conference in Washington, DC and more recently co-produced the 2007 Change your Diet, Change your Life seminar in Los Angeles. On the cooking front, Hollie has participated in numerous cooking demonstrations held at Wild Oats (currently Whole Foods) in Santa Monica, California.
