PPNF Board: Joan Grinzi

A Message from the Executive Director

After serving on PPNF’s Board of Directors for over 18 years, I consider it a great honor to have been selected as their Executive Director in 2005.

I was introduced to nutrition and alternative medicine in 1969 by my wonderful, inspiring mother. I became an RN in 1974 and over the years have received training and experience in other alternative medicine modalities. This has given me a respect and understanding for both Eastern and Western medicine, but my passion has always been in nutrition. I believe that properly nourishing the body is the key to enhancing the body-mind-spirit connection.

In addition to my medical background, I also bring to PPNF experience in administration, business development, program development, community and professional education, marketing, and community relations.

We have an important mission to carry on at PPNF. As the keeper of the original research of Weston A. Price, DDS, Francis M. Pottenger Jr., MD, and other nutrition pioneers of our time, PPNF lights the way for teaching the wisdom of the past and applying it to today, for the health and well-being of generations to come.

This is an exciting time for PPNF as the world is ready to hear our message!

Joan Grinzi, RN
Executive Director
