"The Annals of Internal Medicine just published a series of articles claiming: "New guidelines: No need to reduce red or processed meat consumption for good health. A rigorous series of reviews of the evidence found little to no health benefits for reducing red or processed meat consumption."   Yet a careful reading of these articles reveals the exact opposite! They found that dietary patterns with a moderate reduction in red and processed meat consumption had a 13% lower rate of premature death from all causes, a 14% reduction in cardiovascular disease mortality, an 11% decrease in cancer mortality, and a 24% decrease in the risk of type 2 diabetes.  "

I met Tahir Bhatti during my Ornish Lifestyle Medicine transformation at Jacobs Medical Center UCSD. Tahir would sub into our support group whenever Ozzie Gontang was traveling. He is a great teacher. "Holistic Healers, Wellness Coaches, and Life-partners, Tahir Bhatti & Ayesha Suneja  have spent the last 20 years researching, teaching and guiding others towards mind-body-spirit healing, transpersonal wellness and spiritual growth.   Originally from India and Pakistan, both Ayesha and Tahir were raised in cultures that naturally cultivated spirituality, meditation and holistic healing practices.   Their passion for integrating spirituality into their clinical work led them to further their studies in Eastern philosophy, meditation, soul consciousness and self-realization.   Due to their exposure to ancient Eastern philosophies at a young age and their extensive training in Western Medicine & Psychology, their eclectic studies are balanced in the Sciences and the Ancient Truths.     By integrating both philosophies Tahir and Ayesha have created a blend of Eastern and Western Coaching Practices that is truly unique."
