My name is James Duignam and I am a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition which is affiliated with Columbia University. My my passion is helping people regain balance in their lives. Unfortunately, there is an overweight epidemic ubiquitous throughout the world, most notably in the United States. The United States will spend two trillion dollars on disease this year alone. This health care crisis pervades the country, with 65% of Americans being overweight. More children are now suffering from Type 2 diabetes, which was unheard of before.  Diseases such as obesity and diabetes will dramatically shorten people's lives in generations to come.

The current medical paradigm focuses on treatment instead of prevention. Until we focus our energies on prevention, this problem will only get worse. The human body is an amazing entity; it is omniscient (all knowing).  From the time we are born, the human body knows everything. The body knows how many beats per minute the heart should beat; how to digest different types of foods, and if the food is contaminated, the body knows to discard it as soon as possible. When the body is in balance, we are in good health.  It is a simple fact. It is only when we create an imbalance in the body and compromise its immune system that disease or illness manifests.
