ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My study of herbs and food as medicine began in 1975 after recovering from a serious illness by using herbal remedies. After graduating from college, I was employed as a Rehabilitation Therapist at a state hospital, working with patients suffering from chronic mental illness. I have also worked with adolescents, acutely ill, alcohol and drug rehab patients, and intensive care mental health units. I am 70 years old, and I've had Type 2 diabetes for over twelve years. After finally realizing the seriousness of my condition I started making changes in my lifestyle, including nutrition and exercise. Before that, I was sick with serious diabetic symptoms. For the last seven years, I have managed my illness with diet, natural supplements, and exercise, using no medications. My book, "The Hippocrates Method: Lose Weight, Change Your Eating Habits and Create A New Healthy Lifestyle", is a result of my personal experience and research.

Tell us a little bit about yourself, your hobbies and interests.

I am currently enjoying retirement in Florida. My hobbies are gaming, writing, biking, and going to the YMCA.

When and why did you start writing books?

After seven years of research, I started writing The Hippocrates Method in January of 2021. I have successfully lost sixty pounds after being overweight for 50 years. I reversed my type 2 diabetes and I want to let others know that they can do the same thing using safe, natural methods.

What made you decide to tackle writing as a career?

I wanted to share what I have learned with other diabetics. Too many of them are suffering because they don't have the right information to help them build a new healthy lifestyle.

Which one of your books or characters is your favourite?

Which one of your books was the hardest to write and stretched you the most as a writer?

My life and personal experience.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
