About the Author

Denny Waxman has been a macrobiotic counselor since the 1970s and is one of the founders of American Macrobiotics. He has changed the food narrative away from a diet dependent upon animal & dairy foods. From the Mid-Atlantic Summer Camp, to opening the first natural food store in Philadelphia, Essene Market, and directing the Kushi Institute, he has been a pioneer of macrobiotics. His notoriety came after Dr. Anthony Sattilaro overcame terminal prostate cancer and credited Denny for saving his life in his book, Recalled by Life. Denny teaches globally and is the author of The Complete Macrobiotic Diet and The Ultimate Guide to Eating for Longevity.
