Interview With Author Bonnie Nedrow
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been practicing naturopathic medicine for the past 22 years and have published 2 self-help health books and a cookbook. I am passionate about helping people heal their metabolism and achieve optimal wellness.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book, Metabolic Flexibility, How to Heal Your Metabolism with a Ketogenic Diet was inspired by a personal health decline that my general medical approach did not correct. I had been noting the same type of challenge in many of my clients – slow but steady weight gain, insomnia, increased anxiety and worsening lab results linked to chronic disease. Eating keto helped me reverse my symptoms and create metabolic flexibility, something I did not know I was even missing. I knew I was onto something – a health transformation that could help people like me recover their metabolism and enjoy healthy aging.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I’m a morning bird, the best time for me to write – actually to create anything – is 4 or 5 AM. I love getting so much done before other people are even awake.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Berne Brown (all her books!), You2 by Price Prichett, Trust by Iyanla Vanzant AND any and all hiking books by William L. Sullivan.
What are you working on now?
Implementing the programs that my books describe.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I generally take a boots on the ground approach by promoting my books at speaking engagements and to my followers.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Write about what you do, you love and/or the stories floating in your head.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Write it down from the heart – free-flow, no pause or corrections. Then rewrite, rewrite, rewrite.
What are you reading now?
Working with the Law by Raymond Holliwell
What’s next for you as a writer?
I have had a book about preconception optimization rolling around in my head for awhile.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Backyard Medicine by Julie Bruton-Seal & Matthew Seal
Poetry as Spiritual Practice by Robert McDowell
