Hawaii Health Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Hawaii. Their mission is to help improve the health of Hawaii and the world through programs that involve traditional and cultural diets and integrative health approaches. They have been helping our community improve their quality of life through health programs, seminars, radio shows, published books, and promotional materials since 1996.
Dr. Shintani is the author of the “Eat More, Weigh Less Diet", "Hawaii Diet”, and “The Good Carbohydrate Revolution.” He has been featured in Newsweek, on CNN and CBS News, ABC national radio, and Dateline NBC. Dr. Shintani received his master’s degree in nutrition from Harvard University and both his medical and law degrees from the University of Hawaii. After medical school and studying nutrition at Harvard University, Dr. Terry Shintani returned home to Hawaii with a sense that local people needed to return to their traditional native diet for both health and spiritual reasons. Dr. Shintani shares nutritional weight-loss research that helps individuals lose weight and control blood sugar levels by eating more of the right kind of carbohydrates.
Award-winning medical doctor-nutritionist pair, Dr. Terry Shintani and Dr. Diane Nomura (Dr. D), work together to share information to optimize health. Their "How to Reverse Aging & Disease in 10 Days" seminar has helped many lose weight, reduce their heavy dependence on medication, and substantially improve their quality of life. Dr. Shintani & Dr. D. help workshop participants in their transition to a plant-based diet by providing store tours, informational handouts, food sampling, and by demonstrating simple recipes.
