AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT Dr. #TheresaNicassio is a #kindness advocate who offers her multi-faceted expertise as a #wellness specialist to the community in her capacities as a registered #psychologist 1541, speaker, raw food chef and #nutrition educator, magazine columnist, and radio and TV guest. • Passionate about public awareness and empowerment, Theresa contributes to social, emotional and #environmental transformation through social media and her blogs TheresaNicassio.com & YumFoodForLiving.com. • She is also the multi-award-winning #author of #YUM: #PlantBased #Recipes for a #GlutenFreeDiet (a 2016 Gourmand “Best in the World” award winner) and now the host of the #DrTheresaNicassioShow on HealthyLife.net – All Positive Talk Radio. .• Applying her broad psychological knowledge and skill base, combined with her personal experiences and challenges, #DrTheresaNicassio delights in challenging the status quo of limited and rigid ways of thinking. She embodies possibility-thinking in the truest sense and embraces #compassionate, choice-driven, and #inclusive living as a central and ethical key for individual and societal #transformation and #healing. Her sensitivity to the unique and #specialneeds of all who reside on this planet offers a new voice of #hope, even (and especially) for those who are often left behind. • Theresa’s pleasure-based, yet socially #conscious #inclusivecooking paradigm and enthusiastic revival of “responsible hedonism” invites an easier, emotionally-sensitive and more effective way to approach dietary and other #lifestyle changes that is #kinder to ourselves, each other and the environment as well. • The simple and incredibly #delicious #hearthealthy, #anticancer and #diabeticfriendly #gluten- and #sugarfree #plantbasedrecipes in YUM defiantly demonstrate that previously considered impossibilities in life may actually in fact be plausible.
