Thanks to everybody who made it out to the Nutiva open house on Tuesday in Oxnard.
The delicious organic food and desserts was a high-point, the music was great, and it was a real treat seeing old friends and meeting new friends.
Thanks also to Rafael from Sounds of Creation. Here’s a pic of him jamming away.
We had a nice turnout of 80+ people.
We’re already looking forward to our next party!

I love this line: Conventional medicine has lost its battle with cancer.
Here is a very important article from Dr. Mark Hyman, who spoke on the topic of functional medicine at the TEDMED conference this year in San Diego. For those of you who are not yet familiar with TED, please check it out HERE. This article talks about the connections between illnesses such as cancer and the foods that make up our diet. The mere thought of the medical community moving focus away from what drugs should be used to treat a disease to figuring out what is actually causing the disease is a radical thought indeed, and one whose time has certainly come.
Now more than ever, we must start paying very very close attention to the foods that we eat, and the lifestyles we lead. Life on autopilot has some very nasty side effects, both for us as individuals, and for our societies in general. Please share this article with friends and family. This one fits squarely into Nutiva’s commitment to “Nourishing People AND Planet.”
Enjoy!
Conventional medicine has lost its battle with cancer. But that doesn’t mean the war is over. Let me explain why we may finally be heading in the right direction.
I just returned from TEDMED, an extraordinary gathering of brilliant minds from science, medicine, business and technology–a veritable intellectual orgy. During the conference, there was a theme that emerged: synthesis.
Instead of dividing everything into diseases and labels, emerging science is pointing to a different way of thinking about diseases. The thread that ran through the conference was that disease is a systemic problem and we have to treat the system, not the symptom; the cause, not the disease. This completely redefines the whole notion of disease. The landscape of illness is changing.
At TEDMED I spoke about a new way to define disease, to navigate the landscape of illness. It is called functional medicine, which is a systems-biology approach to personalized medicine that focuses on the underlying causes of disease. That definition of functional medicine is a mouthful. But in a word, it is the medicine of WHY, not WHAT.
Conventional medicine is focused on naming diseases based on geography, body location and specialty, instead of by the cause, mechanism or pathway involved. Doctors say you have a liver, kidney, brain or heart disease. But this approach to naming disease tells you nothing about the cause, and it is quickly becoming obsolete as we understand more about the mysteries of human biology. [click to continue…]
