Jordan Wagman is a James Beard nominated Chef. Diagnosed with psoriasis at an early age, Wagman searched over thirty years for a long-term solution to this often-debilitating disease; hospital stays, trips to the sunshine, and conventional medications were all employed and did provide some short-term reprieve but it wasn’t enough. Eventually, he made dietary changes and began consuming cannabis. Within sixty days he lost thirty pounds and, remarkably, his psoriasis improved dramatically. It lead him to sharing his story, his latest book is WELL, How I Found My Health Through Food. He is a featured speaker at February Women Who Grow Conference.
