John Kozinski ‘s Expertise in the Field of Natural Health Education and Counseling
John Kozinski ‘s knowledge of traditional shamanic cultures, and natural health and healing expertise meets the most rigorous standards as defined by Forbes senior editor Geoff Colvin in Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else. According to Geoff Colvin, a certain kind of deliberate practice of 10,000 hours or more is needed to become a master in your field.
John has been fortunate to be in a unique position to achieve this goal of deliberate practice in his field. He was the only educator on the faculty of an international Institute for natural health education for 27 years with uninterrupted tenure until resigning in 2013. He has worked throughout the United States and internationally for 38 years in his private natural health practice, Macrobiotic Family Practice. These activities presented him with an unprecedented opportunity to teach, study, observe, and counsel tens of thousands of people who were trying to reverse illness or learn traditional and modern natural health techniques.
He has extensively researched and practiced shamanic techniques of India, China and Japan regarding the use of foods, energy practices, meditation, philosophy, and herbs for health, healing and elevating consciousness. His studies have focused on the shamanic systems of yoga, and Ayurveda from India, and the Taoist medicines and spiritual practices of China.
John’s expertise is based on this state of the art research combined with other activities. He has been a full time teacher of natural health systems to 30,000 + students for over 35 years. John has provided over 10,000 individual natural health consultations. He has tens of thousands of hours of deliberate practice as defined by Geoff Colvin.
John’s personal interaction with people for 38 years, and his system of noninvasive diagnosis skills put him in a unique position to observe firsthand the short and long term results of various natural diet and lifestyle approaches. His expertise helps you sort through all the media hype around diet. John’s experience on the ground, and current information, can help prevent you, your family, and children from making unintended mistakes in your diet and lifestyle leading to poor health and illness.
