Donna Gates’ mission is to change the way the world eats. Over the past 25 years, Donna has become one of the most loved and respected authorities in the field of digestive health, diet, and nutrition, enjoying a worldwide reputation as an expert in candida, adrenal fatigue, autism, autoimmune diseases, weight loss and anti-aging.
Frustrated with her own health issues and lack of relief from conventional medicine, Donna embarked on a long course of study into many different healing concepts, including ancient Chinese medicine, macrobiotics, natural hygiene, raw foods and mega-supplement therapy. Incorporating the most beneficial components of each concept into her own system of health and healing , Body Ecology ™.
She is the author of The Body Ecology Diet , a revolutionary system of healing that was created by Donna in response to the major deficiencies she saw in medicine and the commonplace approach to treating symptoms while ignoring root causes and the first of its kind. Filling the void, the diet-- sugar-free, gluten-free, and probiotic rich--was adopted by doctors and health practitioners alike, who recommend it to their patients and clients. Donna has certified hundreds of “Body Ecologists”, who passionately spread her teachings throughout the U.S., Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand.
Donna's groundbreaking work has been instrumental in transforming the natural foods industry. While the decision by the FDA to replace dangerous, artificial sweeteners from diet beverages with the safer Reb A substitute is recent, it was Donna who first introduced the white stevia/Reb A to the U.S. in 1994. Her very successful grassroots movement blossomed to tens of thousands enjoying the new sweetener and after three years it was approved as a “dietary supplement”, becoming a common item in every health food store in America. Donna’s cookbook, Stevia: Cooking with Nature’s Calorie-Free Sweetener ( Avery) was the first of its kind. The next five years she dedicated to educating on the value of coconut oil which was demonized as a dangerous fat. Her dedication spurred new research and now coconut oil is promoted by holistic doctors and sold nationwide. Donna then focused on fermented foods and reintroduced milk Kefir to the U.S. Her innovation continued with “young coconut water kefir”, a fermented drink touted by medical doctors for healing the digestive tract and treating acid reflux.
As a key figure in the autism movement, Donna works with top doctors in the field who view her diet as instrumental in changing the theory behind and treatment of the disorder. She founded Body Ecology Diet Recovering Our Kids (BEDROK), an active online community of over 2,000 parents, many of who have seen their children in full recovery. www.bedrokcommunity.org
Over the past two years, the raw food movement’s knowledge-hungry crowd has turned to Body Ecology for answers to why the raw diet doesn’t always work. David Wolfe, the movement's de-facto leader, surveyed his followers and found 80% requesting Donna to speak at his popular Longevity Conference, which draw over 1,600 participants bi-annually.
Her eagerly anticipated book, The Baby Boomer Diet , (Hay House, October, 2011), is expected to revolutionize the way we think about aging. For more information, please visit www.bodyecology.com
