"Can I come home with you?" It's not a question you'd expect from a nutritionist, but it's the one that launched an entirely new profession.

This month on the ANMA Podcast, we sit down with Anne Masri, founder of MediChefs, whose own health crisis 30 years ago set her on a path she never saw coming. What she discovered along the way exposed a blind spot in nearly every wellness practice — and her answer to it has physicians, patients, and chefs lining up.

Anne Masri is a board certified nutritional chef and nutritional consultant. She is the founder of MediChefs, a private cheffing service that uses nutritional therapy to prevent and reverse disease. MediChefs bridges the gap between diagnosis and food on the table. Anne, like many in the health and wellness space, found an answer to her own health challenges through integrative health practices. She has been walking the talk for 30+ years and is helping others reach their optimal health with years of curated wisdom.

Tune in to hear:

• The moment Anne realized why even the most motivated clients fail to follow their eating plans — and what she did about it

• How chefs, caregivers, and home cooks are turning a passion for food into a credentialed career in health and wellness

• Anne's simplest tip for using food more intentionally, starting with your very next meal

Plus, this month's Practice Pointer: the one set of documents every natural health practitioner should review right now — and the questions to ask when you do.

What if one of the most powerful wellness tools was literally at your fingertips?

In this episode, we welcome Susan Shane, founder of Vitality Fusion, licensed acupuncturist, educator, and longtime advocate for holistic health. Susan shares how an unexpected journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine led her to discover Korean Hand Therapy—a unique approach that uses the hand as a map of the entire body.

Susan explains why this technique has gained attention around the world, how it can complement other wellness practices, and why it has become one of her favorite tools for helping people support their health and wellbeing.

She also gives a preview of the Korean Hand Therapy workshop she'll be leading at the 45th Annual ANMA Convention in Las Vegas.
