Interview: Jordan Rubin of the garden of life nutritional products and author of The Maker's Diet Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Mike: Just to remind everyone, we're talking with Jordan Rubin, chairman of garden of life, and you can find garden of life products in virtually every health food store in the U.S. and many other countries around the world. I want to say that your personal determination and personal passion really touched me. It's so inspiring to talk to someone like you who understands that this is not just about a product, and someone who really embodies that and lives it day to day. I'm truly touched by that.

What makes garden of life unique is that we're an organization that wants to empower extraordinary health -- not give somebody something, not tell somebody what to do, but give somebody information to change their life and transform the lives of others around them. Mike: I think, just from listening to you, that you understand healing on many different levels. As you said, this is not just a supplement company. You're talking about spiritual healing; you're talking about belief system transformation.

REPPED: Mike: I'm here today with Jordan Rubin, the chairman of garden of life. Jordan, your books and products have been taking the nutritional world by storm. To what do you owe this success, and what is coming up in terms of products or information that people might be interested in learning about? Rubin: You know, Mike, I think there are really a few reasons behind our success. Number one is that this company was founded based on a personal mission -- really a responsibility that I feel I have to share this message of health and hope with the world.

Also, this spring look for more certified organic foods from garden of life, including certified organic honey, food bars, tea concentrates, and rain forest cacao. Already a significant purchaser of certified organic wheat, rye, and other grasses grown in Utah and other states and countries, Garden of Life's rain forest cacao will be certified by the Fair Trade Federation (www.fairtradefederation.

People who buy garden of life products have a real awareness of what they are putting into their bodies," he said. Safety and prevention are two key concepts in health. However, "personal sustainability changes your world view and leads to a whole different set of evolving values. You begin to realize consuming organic milk and other organic foods is part of an expanding consciousness and awareness that your own actions have far-reaching implications. We are industry leaders and the people who come to garden of life so often are leaders too.

I do not want to set us up as being already there, but garden of life is definitely on a journey to long-term sustainability as a reflection of our own long-term corporate planning." Garden of Life is now among the first companies of its size in the state of Florida to make a commitment to purchase 100 percent of the company's electricity for its West Palm Beach campus and other facilities from wind power certificates from 3 Phases Energy (www.3phases.com).

We think this marks real progress for garden of life as a maturing company, and that's one of the reason why we think they're the kind of company smart shoppers want to work with, too, to improve not only their health but also the health of their community. www.gardenoflife.com New Chapter New Chapter's Zyflamend might just well be the most powerful and valued natural medicine in America today—one of those rare natural remedies that works like a cure for inflammatory conditions (see Chapter 5).

A few that make good products are Enzymedica, Theramedix, Enzymatic Therapy, Renew Life, garden of life, Rainbow Light, Jarrow, and Transformation Enzymes. Of these, only two meet all of the above requirements. The first is Enzymedica, my company, which exclusively manufactures enzyme supplements. These are found in most health food stores. The second company is Thera-medix, which sells its products exclusively through health professionals in alternative-care facilities. Though Enzymedica and Theramedix are highly recommended, the other choices are also satisfactory.

Already a significant purchaser of certified organic wheat, rye, and other grasses grown in Utah and other states and countries, Garden of Life's rain forest cacao will be certified by the Fair Trade Federation (www.fairtradefederation.org) to have been harvested from an area in Ecuador in the Amazon "where there is a lot of poverty and potential for environmental degradation"—but also where there is now fair trade sustainable harvesting of this antioxidant- and polyphenols-rich rain forest treasure.

We are industry leaders and the people who come to garden of life so often are leaders too. Once people begin to see that their personal lives reflect larger values, they keep adding to their lifestyles in a positive manner. For example, eating organic foods can transform into a greater appreciation for sustainable fashion and organic cotton, and even sustainable shoes." The company's first step into the public consciousness was one of survival and personal sustainability, and that will always be part of its core appeal.

Some of my personal favorite fiber supplements are Cellulose Fiber by Vital Nutrients, Superseed by garden of life, or plain ground flaxseed. In addition, fiber has a ton of other wide-ranging positive effects on the body, like helping to prevent certain kinds of cancer and lowering cholesterol and triglycerides. Americans currently get a paltry amount of fiber in their diets, estimated at 10 grams a day. Most health organizations like the American Cancer Society recommend about 30 grams, and our caveman ancestors got much more (maybe around 50 or 60 grams).

I'm also a fan of Green Magma by Green Foods, Greens First by Doctors for Nutrition, Perfect Food by garden of life, and my personal favorites, Pro-Greens by Nutricology and Paleogreens by Designs for Health. Consider Eggs Rocky Style That's right. Raw eggs. I put two in a glass just about every day and drink 'em down.

We are journeying entities, traveling in the garden of life, drawn to those destinations that are in harmony with our dominant thoughts. Goals are like orchards filled with ripe fruits, they pull us toward them. They breathe in new fragrant sensations into our being. They activate our imagination. We are designed to set and achieve goals with the content of our life being the wonders we observe along the way. The ultimate quest has no ending, and that fact gives it incredible value. The true value is not what we get, but what we become along the way.

Companies like New Chapter, Nature's Way, Now Foods, garden of life or Jay Robb Enterprises (which has outstanding whey protein, soy protein and egg protein products). These are a few of the many companies that seem to really care about health and they avoid using toxic ingredients, whereas many other supplement companies don't care at all what they put in there, as long as they can claim something on the label.
