Truth Calkins studied with the legendary Ron Teeguarden at Dragon Herbs for four years before moving to Erewhon Natural Foods Market in Los Angeles, where he developed recipes using his broad knowledge and experience with healing herbs to create the Tonic Bar and its magical menu of healing elixirs.

Being raised by naturopathic parents on a farm in northern California gave Truth a head start in the natural health industry. His upbringing came to bear strongly on his personal journey to heal himself of the underlying causes of chronic fatigue, using self-study, herbs and diet. He has worked with the Body Ecology Diet system for ten years and uses his broad experience of its protocols and their effects to help countless people navigate their own healing journeys.

Truth is constantly researching and championing healing foods and the people who work to bring them to market. He does private consultations for people at the Tonic Bar at Erewhon, where he continues to follow his passion.
