Introducing: Roger Green · Founder, Academy of Healing Nutrition · TCM Practitioner · London & New York

Roger Green is one of the longest-practicing holistic health educators in the English-speaking world. A New Zealander based between London, Australia, and New York, he has spent four decades at the intersection of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic philosophy, ancestral nutrition, longevity science, and modern biohacking — long before many of those words became mainstream.

In 1986, he founded the Academy Healing Nutrition, which has since trained nearly 1,000 certified holistic health coaches and nutritionists across six continents. It is widely recognised as the world's longest-established school of its kind.

Roger's approach is deceptively simple: food is not fuel. It is information, medicine, and relationship — with the body, the season, and the ecosystem we inhabit. His teaching draws equally from the Nei Jing, modern longevity research, Taoist tonic herbalism, Ayurvedic constitutional medicine, and the traditional practices of cultures who have sustained exceptional health for generations.

He is a TCM practitioner and registered nurse, trained in shiatsu, and has spent decades working with private clients and teaching internationally. He is also a long-standing advocate for renewable energy and environmental stewardship, and has worked on water harvesting and soil regeneration projects across multiple continents.

His work sits at a rare and timely convergence: where ancient systems of healing are finally being validated by the science of longevity — and where the conversation mainstream culture is only just beginning to have, Roger has been having for forty years.

What Roger Brings to Your Audience

Roger is not a wellness influencer. He is a practitioner and teacher with deep roots in living traditions — someone who has been fermenting foods, working with medicinal herbs, and studying the body through both Eastern and Western lenses since before these practices had English names.

He speaks to the questions your audience is already asking:

• Why does modern medicine treat disease but struggle to create health?

• What do the world's longest-lived cultures actually eat — and how do they live?

• How do you read your own body's signals before they become symptoms?

• What is food energetics, and why does eating the "right" foods not always work?

• How can ancient wisdom be applied practically in a modern life?

He brings authority without arrogance, depth without inaccessibility, and a perspective that is genuinely different from the wellness conversation that already exists online.

Conversation Topics

Food as Medicine — Ancient Wisdom, Modern Relevance The principles behind Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic nutrition are not mystical — they are observational systems developed over thousands of years. Roger translates these frameworks clearly and practically: what it means to eat according to your constitution, the season, and the condition of your body.

The Longevity Diet — What Cultures of Long Life Actually Have in Common Beyond Blue Zones marketing: the shared dietary and lifestyle principles that appear consistently across history's healthiest, longest-lived populations — and how to apply them in a contemporary kitchen.

Reading the Body Before It Breaks Down Eastern medicine has always been primarily preventive. Roger teaches diagnosis through observation — reading the tongue, the face, the posture — and how to use food and lifestyle as intervention before pathology sets in. "To administer medicine after an illness begins is like digging a well after becoming thirsty." — The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine

Biohacking Meets Ancient Wisdom Roger has been following what is now called biohacking for forty years — fasting, adaptogens, supplementation, circadian alignment, EMF awareness. He offers a grounded perspective on what modern longevity science confirms, what it overstates, and what the ancients already knew.

The Missing Piece in Nutrition Conversations: Food Energetics Most nutritional thinking is biochemical. But food has qualities beyond its macronutrient profile — thermal nature, directional energy, organ affinity. Understanding food energetics changes everything about how and what you eat.

Training the Next Generation of Holistic Healers Roger founded AHN at a time when the word "holistic" barely existed in Western health culture. What he's learned across four decades of teaching — about how people change, what actually creates lasting health, and what the wellness industry consistently gets wrong.
