Guest Bio
Christine Horner, M.D., FACS, is a nationally known surgeon, author and professional speaker and holds two board certifications: the National Board of Surgery and the National Board of Plastic Surgery. Horner was recognized as a leader in her field shortly after starting her plastic and reconstructive surgery practice because she successfully ran a national campaign to pass laws requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Her five-year crusade with the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project (BRA Project) led to the passage of an unprecedented federal law that was signed by President Bill Clinton in 1998, requiring insurance companies to pay for this specific surgical procedure. Horner is the award-winning author of Waking The Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner's Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer, (3rd Edition) and her new book, Radiant Health, Ageless Beauty, (Elgea Publishing, 2016).

Maura “Mo” Knowles, a Board Certified Health Coach (AADP) Institute for Integrative Nutrition, is also the founder and C.E.O. of Mac-n-Mo’s, Inc. Mac-n-Mo’s is a super low sugar, no sodium, gluten free, vegan baked goods company committed to producing the healthiest treats possible for kids and adults alike. They use wholesome, locally sourced ingredients and they don’t use preservatives or chemical sweeteners, but rely primarily on nature’s secrets (as well as some of their own) to deliver MORSELICIOUS Treats made with oodles of love.
Mo created these Morselicious Treats for her dad, Mac, who underwent a successful quadruple bypass surgery in 2010. Mac, also a diabetic, begged her to make him a baked treat that complied with his restricted new diet. She made it her mission to create "legal" treats he could enjoy. These morsels are now Mo's go-to dessert of choice and she is passionate about spreading the MORSELICIOUSness! She has since taken her bite sized morsels from her parents’ kitchen in Sacramento, CA, to over 30 retail locations in California, Delaware, and New Jersey, in addition to numerous Natural Foods online stores.
As a health food pioneer, Mo is carving her own path using her passion, dedication and Morselicious mission to change the way we eat snacks and treats.
Mo has published two e-cookbooks and writes an entertaining blog as THE MORSELIST. www.macnmos.com/the-morselist
