Loren Lockman, founder and director of the Tanglewood Wellness Center, began studying the relationship between nutrition and health while in college in 1979.

He became seriously ill in 1984, ultimately diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Candidiasis, Sinusitis, and almost 60 allergies. In 1987 after 3 years of getting worse, he gave up on traditional medicine and sought to find his own answers. He went back to, and ultimately, beyond traditional nutritional theory, seeking to discover what was natural to the human body. By making these changes, he was well within six months.

Loren became a student of nature, seeking to understand how the laws of nature interact with and impact the human body. Since 1987, he hasn’t been sick a single day.

Since 1993, Loren has been supervising fasts and teaching these principles to many people throughout the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. He also works with clients in over 20 countries over the phone and via the internet. His natural approach has helped many people gain vitality, youthfulness, and overall health.

Loren was a regular columnist for Just Eat an Apple magazine and has written many articles and essays for Get Fresh!, Washington Woman, Natural Awakenings, and other publications. Loren is the author of A Handbook for Vibrant Living—Eight Keys to Optimal Health: The Essentials, and the architect of the Creating Perfect Health System.
