ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
We didn’t always live healthy. We drank Mountain Dew and consumed way too much sugar (and probably still do!). We turned to conventional medicine to solve all of our problems (but found it couldn't!). Dr. Sue struggled with multiple miscarriages and Angelle suffered from depression and severe PMS. Individually we found answers to our health problems by changing our diets and using holistic medicine. When each of us became moms and held our new babies, like every mom, we realized the most important thing in life is a happy healthy child. Years later our paths crossed. We were each supporting moms and helping children heal, but realized we needed to reach more moms for more children to live happier healthier lives and so NourishMD.com was born

SUSAN MCCREADIE, as a board certified pediatrician specializing in holistic medicine, my vision is to heal children with any illness, naturally. During my training as a medical doctor and pediatrician, I witnessed many children benefiting from the advancement of western medicine; however I also realized that many children’s health care issues go beyond the traditional medical paradigm. After completing my chief resident year in pediatrics, I started Pediatric Holistic Medicine, PLC. I continue to learn daily how to help myself and others heal; it’s a journey and lifelong passion, and I love every minute of it.

ANGELLE BATTEN holds a B.A. from the University of Detroit in Elementary Education and an MEd. from Wayne State University in Education Administration. She is also certified as a Holistic Health Coach from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, which is a state-licensed nutrition school in New York City. The most important thing for parents is to raise healthy, happy children, but they don't know how to get there. As a health coach, Angelle walks parents through an increasingly challenging and confusing path to create health and happiness for their families.

ABOUT NOURISHMD.COM
“We are what we eat!” We’ve all heard that before. Instead we say, “We are what we consume.” Whether that be from the food and drink we digest, the air we breathe, or the products we put on our skin - it all makes up who we are. In today’s world, we are bombarded with toxins to process, from food, water, air, and all the products we use (soap, shampoo, cleaners, sunscreen, bug spray). The list is endless. Our goal is to reduce our family’s toxic burden. How? By eating REAL organic and local food, drinking purified water, and reducing our exposure to toxins. That’s a tall order, but we believe it is necessary to maintain optimal health.

We created NourishMD.com to educate and inspire moms to feed their children REAL food for health and to empower moms to find natural solutions for their children with medical, emotional, and/or learning difficulties. As a holistic pediatrician and a holistic health counselor/elementary teacher, we are passionate about creating healthier, happier lives for all children. As trained healthcare professionals, we bring our collective knowledge and expertise to the NourishMD.com community. As moms ourselves, we bring our far-from-perfect REAL life experience as well. Together we strive to create a vision of how to raise and heal children naturally, and in doing so help ourselves and other moms realize we can incorporate REAL food and healthy living into our busy lifestyles everyday.

Influence - How Women's Soaring Economic Power will Transform our World for Better by Maddy Dychtwald with Christine Larson



ABOUT THE BOOK:
This book describes a trend that may be the biggest change agent of this decade. As a critical mass of women all over the world are becoming financially powerful enough to stand on their own two feet, they are tipping the global power balance and changing the rules of the family, the workplace, the marketplace, and business and political leadership. This book isn’t just about the facts but what the facts add up to, including:
• How women’s rise to power impacts money, markets, and men: the past, present, and future.
• The three stages of women’s financial power: 1) security, 2) independence, and 3) influence.
• How women will pioneer the opportunities and challenges of the longevity revolution.
• The new female-driven “cyclic” work/life paradigm.
• How women are rewriting the rules of success.
• How the evolving female/male equation changes the rules and roles at home and at work.
• An examination of women’s multiplying marketplace clout and how successful companies are responding.

This groundbreaking new book is filled with breakthrough research findings, marketplace insights, and inspirational stories of trendsetting women from all over the globe. It’s not a feminist treatise, but rather,\ argues that men will also benefit greatly from the changes economic parity will bring. After decades of building up their earning power, women have begun unleashing their influence on the world to everyone’s benefit.

SOS! The Six O'Clock Scramble to the Rescue: Earth-Friendly, Kid-Pleasing Dinners for Busy Families by Aviva Goldfarb



Dinner with kids shouldn’t be a battleground. And it shouldn’t make a martyr out of the parent whose job it is to get it on the table fast, fresh and hot every day at 6 PM. Aviva Goldfarb’s cheerful Scramble system takes the hassle and worry out of mealtime. Her readers rely on her organized grocery lists, weekly meal plans and fast and easy recipes not just for the healthy dinners themselves, but for taking the stress out of dinnertime. She wants families to actually enjoy their dinners together!

Building on the major success of the first SCRAMBLE cookbook, SOS!THE SIX O’CLOCK SCRAMBLE TO THE RESCUE: Earth-Friendly, Kid-Pleasing Dinners for Busy Families is taking an extra of-the-moment stress away from meal planning for busy families: concern about the environment, about the cost of shipping out-of-season food halfway around the world and about needlessly wasted food.

SOS: THE SIX O’CLOCK SCRAMBLE TO THE RESCUE: Earth-Friendly, Kid-Pleasing Dinners for Busy Families:
• Helps readers eat seasonally without missing their favorite foods
• Moves toward a slightly more vegetarian menu for health and a lighter environmental footprint
• Reveals when organic matters (and when it doesn’t) and follows what’s in season
• Saves money through easy, efficient planning, bulk buying, freezing and storing, and avoiding waste
• Packs the power of achievable ethnic meals, such as Moo Shu Vegetable Wraps and Brazilian Halibut with Coconut-Lime Sauce
• Makes grocery trips count with suggestions for weekly plans and shopping lists



ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Like many busy moms, Aviva Goldfarb struggled to put a nutritious dinner on the table for her family amidst the chaos of daily life. Going back to the weekly meal planning strategy her mother used, in 2003 Aviva developed a system that helps parents take the Scramble out of the dinner hour by giving them an easy, online meal planning and grocery shopping system, along with fail-proof recipes.

The Six O'Clock Scramble (www.thescramble.com) is an online service that takes the stress out of daily dinners for busy families. Each week, members receive a suggested seasonal meal plan with five days' worth of dinner recipes, side dishes, and an organized grocery list. Aviva develops quick-to-prepare meals that are creative, healthy, unprocessed and kid-friendly without being adult-alienating. This weekly meal plan can be customized in seconds based on families’ tastes, schedules and dietary needs.

Aviva’s Six O'Clock Scramble Cookbook debuted in 2006 to national acclaim. Both the cookbook and online meal planning service won praise from reviewers at O Magazine, Working Mother, USA Today, Real Simple and The Washington Post, among many others.

Debuting in April 2010, Aviva’s latest cookbook SOS! The Six O’Clock Scramble to the Rescue: Earth-Friendly, Kid-Pleasing Dinners for Busy Families combines her expertise in weekly dinnertime meal planning with her concern for the environment. In addition to more than 300 recipes, the book addresses how families can make their meals more environmentally-friendly, including buying seasonally; reducing one’s carbon footprint with vegetable-based meals; differentiating when organic matters and offering tips for avoiding food waste.

Aviva is frequently quoted in national parenting, lifestyle and health magazines and appears regularly on television to discuss healthful recipes and meal strategies for busy families. She is an advocate for healthy families, actively working with national nonprofit organizations and with parents to improve nutrition.

Aviva is a mother of two and resides with her family in Chevy Chase, Maryland, a
Washington, DC suburb.
