Love. Once the marketers have gotten the New Year/New You resolutions sold, they turn to selling “love” in February, with red hearts, flowers and candies. As a younger woman I have to confess to liking the romantic notions attached to Valentine’s Day, but as I have gotten older, I’ve come to a greater understanding of what love is as well as knowing that it is one of life’s great mysteries as well. What I do know about love is that it is to the soul what food is to the body; it nourishes, it strengthens, it fuels us in good times and in bad. Love can be found in our relationships, in our gardens, in our passions, in our work. I feel so fortunate to have experienced love in each of these areas—in varying degrees—throughout my life. The importance of love of work or livelihood was reinforced this past year as I took on the role of overseeing the production of our soon-to-be-released e-cookbooks for each blood type. I have had the privilege of working alongside Peter and Kristin O’Connor as we developed what I believe is a reflection of Peter’s love and dedication for his work and Kristin’s love and dedication for healthy nourishment and food preparation. This is a real artistry behind food preparation—what flavors go well with each other, what ingredients compliment or enhance the tastes or textures of a certain food, what method of preparation is best suited for a particular recipe. Add to this the challenge of designing 150 recipes for each blood type, and you have a glimpse at how masterful Kristin is as a chef, an artist, and a food alchemist! I’ve sampled the recipes, shared them with friends and family, photographed them, and now, I am thrilled to share them with you. The Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet e-books are the first in a series of books that we will produce to enhance your experience following the blood type diet. They are designed to be useful tools and constant companions in the kitchen and life, and I am thrilled to share them with you.

Every month I receive emails from readers whose health has been improved by eating right for their type. I am constantly amazed by your stories—your strength and determination serve as an inspiration to me and I hope that the success stories that we post inspire you to continue your quest for optimal health through individualized nutrition. This month, we have a special treat for you. Kristin O’Connor, the author of the Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet Cookbooks, shares her journey—from the web of the traditional medical system to her discovery of personalized nutrition – and how it changed not only her health, but the direction of her life and career. Q: How did you find the Blood Type Diet? KO: I had health issues. It was one thing after another and the medical doctors that I saw said that I would have to be on medication for life, and at 21 years old, I did not want to face a life of being on meds. With nowhere else to go, I turned to alternative medicine. The doctor that I saw put me on a diet that eliminated gluten, soy and dairy. I noticed a difference immediately—which makes sense now that I know that I am blood type O—but I still had to be on some medication. My mother had also been sick and she went to see Dr. D’Adamo. Within three months she was 75% better and within six months she had fully recovered. Seeing her amazing recovery prompted me to go too, I can now say that I’m almost completely off all medication! Q: How has the Blood Type Diet changed your life? KO: Obviously, the health benefits have been fantastic! When I started making my dietary changes, I had been working as an art therapist at an after school program for children, but I had always loved to cook. As I implemented the changes in my own diet and saw the difference that it made for me, I wanted to spread the word about healthy eating. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to have a cooking show on the Food Network! However, never having had a cooking show, or professional cooking experience, I realized it was a long shot – but that didn’t stop me. I was hired by a production company who developed a show to pitch to Food Network. While the Food Network liked my demo, they passed on the show. The fantastic news was that the same production company who pitched my show, hired me as an Associate Producer—I was thrilled. Q: How did your experience in television production for the Food Network and the Cooking Channel prepare you to write these cookbooks? KO: My responsibilities in production vary dramatically from contributing to recipe development, working with the culinary team, and doing lots of research. Being in that environment, surrounded by amazingly talented chefs taught me so much about food—being on set really helped me develop a wide knowledge of food. Q: How did you come to write the Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet cookbooks with Dr. D’Adamo? KO: It was all very serendipitous! I was seeing Dr. D’Adamo as a patient and he asked me what I was working on. I explained that I was a contributor to a website called Healthy Child Healthy World as well as the creator of my own blog on eating for optimal health, in addition to doing production work for the Food Network. He mentioned that he was thinking of developing four new Blood Type Diet e-cookbooks and it took off from there. Q: How are the Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet cookbooks different than a basic recipe book? KO: It’s unique because they are not just recipes. I wanted to create a lifestyle cookbook that helps both novices and people who are already familiar with the diet to adapt even more easily. In the books, I introduce new beneficial foods that people may not necessarily be familiar with and make them accessible through the “Featured Ingredient” sections, I include a list of pantry staples, tips for setting up your kitchen, I outline the major avoid foods and where they are hidden in everyday products, and of course, lots and lots of simple go-to recipes. We’ve tested the recipes and had independent testers make them too, so we know that they work and are delicious! Q: Where are you going from here? KO: I am having a great time writing my Personalized Living Using the Blood Type Diet blog, which can be found at www.dadamopersonalizedliving.com, and I have a few other exciting projects in the works...although still hoping someday the Food Network will pick up a Kristin O’Connor show of some sort—maybe someday they will realize the need for a healthy living show! |
