Speaking & Events

Talks and seminars on nutrition, performance, and lasting change — for companies, conferences, and communities, in Japan and internationally. I’ve spoken to thousands of people at seminars and events.

Speaking Topics

• Food and inflammation — how everyday food relates to immunity and energy
• Eating for performance — nutrition for executives, leaders, and athletes who need their energy to hold all day
• Gut health — why wellness starts in the gut
• Changes that last — why most diets fail, and what makes new habits stick
• Traditional Japanese foods — fermentation, and what travels well into a modern diet anywhere in the world
• Japanese wisdom — ikigai, wabi-sabi, hara hachi bu, kintsugi, and what they offer a modern life
• My story — easing my rheumatoid arthritis symptoms by transforming how I eat and live, and the unusual perspective that comes from living inside five food cultures, Japan among them
