I'm an attorney, activist and community organizer, as well as an out and proud member of the disability & LGBTQ+ communities. My passion on the issue of ending abuse and neglect of youth with disabilities in schools and treatment facilities stems from my own experiences with involuntary medical treatment and bullying and led me to go to law school. I've pursued my goal of using legal advocacy to address these problems ever since. I returned to Western Massachusetts in 2017 to begin my law practice focusing on disability, youth, and transgender rights. When I'm not working, I'm probably crafting, playing Dungeons & Dragons, listening to history podcasts, or watching Netflix with my partner and three feline roommates.

Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH I studied medicine at Loma Linda University, a community featured on the National Geographic cover story on Longevity as the only ‘Blue Zone’ for health in North America (Nov, 2005) National Institutes of Health gave my school $40 million to learn why the community lives ~7 years longer than other nonsmokers. After a Cardiology Fellowship and becoming board-certified in Internal Medicine, I returned to Loma Linda University to teach Health Science. I did Executive Health and was responsible for treadmill stress testing them. While attending an American College of Cardiology Convention, I heard Nathan Pritikin tell how his diet and exercise program helped 85% of people off their blood pressure and diabetic drugs while reversing heart disease. This later was the basis of the US News cover story on How to Reverse Heart Disease in 1990, featuring Dean Ornish, a California cardiologist copying Pritikin. I went to NYC and had a 65-year old executive who had three cardiologists who felt he was too risky for by-pass surgery and he was taking 12 pills a day and getting worse--he couldn’t walk two blocks without severe chest pain. One of his cardiologists said if he quit his medicine, he would die, but he lived another 30 yrs. a star witness that healthy habits beat medical care. Obituary His extra 30 yrs is the advantage that Dr. Lester Breslow found for people who have 7 healthy habits compared to people that break them. We remember them by NEW START (see graphic) A Blue Cross manager brought his wife to my series and said it’s the best he had seen in wellness that he works so much with. The healthcare costs broke General Motors and are breaking many companies today.
