Low-Stress Food Event at Pres A Vi in San Francsico

We had an event in San Francisco to promote Low-Stress Food.

This was our invite, it gives some background information on Joon.

Please join us on Monday, August 6th from 6-8PM at Pres a Vi in the Presidio for cocktails, light fare and inspired conversation among friends. At this gathering, I will be delighted to introduce to you my friend, Dr. Joon Yun, Partner and head of healthcare investing at Palo Alto Investors, LLC, and founder of the non-profit think tank, Palo Alto Institute. Dr. Yun is a graduate of Harvard University and Duke Medical School who later trained and taught with the faculty at Stanford University. He has authored numerous studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals and is named on over 30 patents. He actively serves on the boards of several companies and non-profit philanthropic organizations.

Dr. Yun has just published a new book entitled, "Low-Stress Food—Eat Your Way to a Low-Stress Life" which explores the unprecedented idea that food itself can be a source of stress, as determined by how it gets to our plates. Food can be a source of second hand stress which contributes to a wide range of diseases including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, infection, depression, high blood pressure, autoimmune disease, and cancer. " Low-Stress Food—Eat Your Way to a Low-Stress Life" is a referendum on the modern food system that reveals the potential to change the world by making enlightened choices about food.

Prior to what is sure to be an important national conversation, we are honored to be among be the first to hear him share ideas and concepts about Low-Stress Food at this informal gathering. We look forward to seeing you. Kindly reply by August 1st.

We brought fresh (organic, in season) veggies for all the guests as well as copies of the book (if you'd like your own copy, please go here). Among the people on the invite list were writers for magazines, restaurant owners and growers.
