Robyn Landis is an American author, public speaker and folk singer who was born in Brooklyn, NY, and has lived in Seattle, WA, and Tucson, AZ United States. At age 25 she wrote a book called Bodyfueling which was published by Warner Books and became a surprise bestseller. "Bodyfueling" is a term she coined and has used to promote her philosophy of increased health through knowing the important details about how your body works and the important interactions between nutrition and exercise. Bodyfueling is an approach to health and fitness that emphasizes a thorough understanding of how the human body uses food and reacts to exercise. It places a heavy emphasis on breaking away from "diet thinking" and encourages people to concentrate instead on knowledgeably caring for the body, eating for performance, eating in accordance with your levels of physical activity and eating enough to fuel the body adequately. Simply stated, Bodyfueling advocates "eat more, exercise more" as a key to fitness rather than "eat less, exercise more", which Landis indicates is an unexamined platitude. From 1989-1999 she studied traditional herbal medicine with Karta Purkh Singh Khalsa. [More at Wikipedia]
