Her holistic approach to food and health is a breath of fresh air compared to the stuffy supermarket shelves of diet shakes and appetite suppressants.
After receiving her BA in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley, Darya received her PhD from UC San Francisco and writes about food, health and weight loss. Her website ‘Summer Tomato’ was one of TIME’s top 50 websites in 2011 and if social media is any indicator, her message that “life should be awesome” is reaching far and wide.
Darya describes herself as a “foodist”, which is a term for someone who has abandoned dieting to enjoy life using real food and also the name of her book – Foodist: Using Real Food and Real Science to Lose Weight Without Dieting.
Interpretation for TEDxSalem VI (2019) was provided by student interns through a collaboration between Western Oregon University, TEDxSalem, and the Deaf and interpreting communities of Oregon. The volunteer student interpreters were supported by volunteer, certified interpreters in order to minimize potential errors. Your support of these pre-professional interpreters’ growing skills is appreciated. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

“I adored all these things, they brought me joy and fulfillment. My healthy habits were now an expression of self love rather than self hatred.” As soon as I heard her say these words.. I couldn’t help myself but to tear up. it’s such a beautiful rewarding feeling to finally be at peace with yourself, your thoughts, and food.

1- The new habits you want to create need to be intrinsically enjoyable. 2- Cultivate awareness around your thoughts, actions and emotions(buzzword- mindfulness). 3- Develop a growth mindset. What work,What didn't work,What to do differently to make it work next time. These questions can change your mindset from 'fixed' to 'growth'.

I love that the newer generation has so much more information available to them than the older generation. I have learned much and it has sparked my interest in research to improve my own life even if it's later in life.

Thank you for the Sign Language intepreter. Wish this was a more universal requirement, even in TED alone. Accessibility needs to catch up to the times.
