Hello Everyone!

My name is Rachel, 24 years old, been a vegetarian for more than 4 years, and have recently turned to macrobiotics. I've been eating and preparing 100% macrobiotic meals for a few weeks now. I'm very lucky to be in a part of Massachusetts close to other macrobiotic people and have had the pleasure of attending some macrobiotic events already.

I am so excited to be a part of this way of life and am already feeling amazing. Vegetarianism helped me feel great, but now by cutting out the refined junk I feel even better (except for the runny nose, but I understand this is part of the process!).

When I'm not cooking and eating the best food on the planet, I am a clinical evaluator of schizophrenics for a non-profit study in Boston, play drumset in several rock bands, and am in a sketch comedy troupe. I graduated from college in 2002 with a degree in neuroscience, and am delighted how much of the science I've learned fits so perfectly with macrobiotics.

I am a very curious person by nature and will have many many questions!

Thank you,
Rachel
