Veg Wisdom
Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger. - John Denver
Dr. Orestes Gutierrez
Dr. Orestes Gutierrez, D.O., emigrated from Cuba at the age of 4 in the infamous Mariel Boatlift. Overcoming the odds of English as a second language and Miami's inner city schools, he graduated from Florida International University Magna Cum Laude with a double major in Philosophy and Biology. During his college years, discipline and love of philosophy led him to study yoga with Dr Muata Ashby of the SEMA Institute and Swami Jyotimayananda of the Integral Yoga tradition.
Orestes graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2003 with honors. While studying osteopathic medicine, he instructed a weekly yoga class for students, faculty, and staff. He served in the US Navy from 2002 until 2007 and remains in the reserves. While on active duty, he conducted trainings on healthy habits ranging from quitting smoking to vegetarianism to yoga. As a Family Medicine Resident at Mayo Clinic Florida, he has given a national presentation of original research on exceptional longevity and nutrition. He also won the 2009 Florida Academy of Family Physicians Distinguished Scholar Award.
He currently lives in Eugene, OR and is a board-certified family physician. Orestes shares a holistic lifestyle with his wife, Pamela and their three children. His healthy habits include a vegan diet, daily meditation and yoga, participating in the spiritual community of Unity of the Valley, and running.
