news from the thrivelines: to nourish, inspire, and enliven
This weekend at the Bite of Seattle, like Thor, Thrive is raining down upon the bright, green Earth 100 cases of fresh, young Thai coconuts. Who said there weren’t any thunderstorms in the Seattle rain shine? Also on the menu is our famous Cacao Bliss Mousse and Oh My Samurai noodles. We’re stationed on the Fischer Pavilion under a giant “Green Bites” banner next door to Chaco Canyon and Mighty O!
Dr. Ruhoy received an M.D. degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and received a Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the University of Nevada. Her most recent clinical endeavor includes residency training in neurology at the University of Washington. Dr. Ilene has worked with the EPA to correlate ecosystem health with human disease. Dr. Ruhoy's research focuses on the sources and implications for human exposure of pharmaceutical residues and other contaminants in the environment. She has written and lectured extensively on the ecological footprint of prescribed medications. Dr. Ruhoy's work also emphasizes green medicine. Dr. Ilene currently resides in Seattle with her husband and daughter.
What is left to say about a guy whose life motto comes from the lips of Willy Wonka himself? "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it." There is no better phrase to explain this time in Deane's life right now. He considers his position at Thrive more of a gift and less of a job. Prior to moving to the Pacific Northwest (Aka: Paradise), you may have found Deane in a little corner of Southwestern Ontario molding young minds to reach their full potential, pedaling his way through farm country, or spending time with family. Other than his love of all things young, (i.e. children, children's books, coconuts) he also has a strong passion for all things green (i.e. plants, fresh cut grass, granny smith apples). He sees his future with Thrive in a very bright light and will soon be molding his love for the natural world into a master's degree in a few years time!
