*The story behind the book


Hello Reader,

Something a little different today. VoyageATL featured me in their Atlanta local stories series. They asked about the road from Microgreens World to The Microgreens Method, and I told them the honest version. Cancer at 50, knee surgeries, 30 pounds overweight at 63, while running a nutrition website. The whole thing.

If you've been reading Microgreens World for a while, you know the growing guides and the research breakdowns. This is the part I don't usually talk about.

The book launched on March 3 as a Top Best Seller on Amazon if you want to check it out: amazon_link
