Harriet Broder was born in Washington DC in 1948. For most of her working life, she owned a one-on-one test prep company. She kept up with the most recent incarnations of the tests by writing the teaching manuals used with her students. Working with adolescents was amazingly gratifying, but her secret passion lay in the knowing the power of food and lifestyle to affect health and longevity. Hence she went back to school and become certified as a holistic health coach. It was inevitable her passion for writing and wellness would yield her very powerful and perhaps provocative book, Look & Feel 20 Years Younger . . . 5 Secrets to Slow Down Your aging process.
