The Making of a Health Crusader: An Interview with James Colquhoun

Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David speaks to esteemed filmmaker of the “Transcendence” docuseries and the documentary, “Hungry for Change,” James Colquhoun. Like many of us passionate about health and wellness, James’ journey into healthy living began after a life-changing and tragic event. His father developed multiple medical conditions, and did what most people do: go to their doctor and start taking various medications. As his father’s health continued to decline, James became determined to figure out how to use nutrition and holistic health to reverse his dad’s medical diagnoses.    After reading book after book, beginning with the classic, Diet for a New America by John Robbins, James and his partner Laurentine learned everything they could about health and nutrition. And as he became more informed, James gradually convinced his father to let go of the medications that seemed to only worsen his conditions and lead to terrible side effects.    And the result? His father was able to drop all his medication within three months of implementing nutritional changes, lost 50 pounds, and resumed his active lifestyle of running every day.   From this, James’ career as a health crusader and educator was born. In this interview, you’ll hear some of his powerful distinctions around the healing power of food that have changed the lives of millions of people around the world.    Tune in now for a truly inspiring conversation between two of the world’s leading voices in health and nutrition!   For more on James, his films, guided programs, and nutrition certification training, visit his global online wellness hub FoodMatters.com and streaming channel FMTV (now Gaia.com).  And to learn more about the Food Matters Nutrition Certification program, please visit https://www.foodmattersinstitute.com/program/nutrition-certification   ---------------   Learn more about us at The Institute for the Psychology of Eating: https://psychologyofeating.com/    Interested in becoming a certified coach in eating psychology?
