Michael L. Ng is a Boston-based health advocate who focuses upon personal responsibility for health and offers individualized person health coaching advocating vigorous physical exercise and emacerating or juicing vegetables and fruits to optimize nutrient availability. As an incrementalist thinker, he advocates a series of place-holding reforms across society that include prioritizing core competencies around individual responsibilities for one's own health and the health of families, marketplace awareness that selects upon priorities for long-term health and well-being, and frugal investment in one's long-term happiness, or eudaemonism.

Education

 * Weymouth High School - diploma
 * Wentworth Institute of Technology, Mission Hill, Boston, Boston, Massachusetts
 * Market America certifications in low-glycemic nutrition
 * Numerous corporate training programs that focused upon product knowledge for marketing, typically state-of-the-art technologies and digital products for large corporate clients.
 * Cornell University, 3-course graduate-level certificate sequence in plant-based nutrition from eCornell. CNSC01 Certificate
 * In that 3-course knowledge-based graduate certificate [equivalent to 30 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (CMEs), 30 Nursing Contact Hours (CNEs), 30 Hours Pharmacy CE (CPEs), and 30 CPEUs for Dietitians], he learned to:


 * Understand the state of nutrition and reflect on his own personal nutritional background
 * Describe the role of macronutrients in the functioning of the body
 * Recognize how government and industry can affect dietary choices and the environment
 * Explain the role of nutrition in the development of chronic and degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes
 * Identify ways to implement whole food plant-based meals for himself, his family, and his clients
 * Illustrate how a whole food plant-based diet can help improve strength, speed and endurance for athletic performance
 * Explore behavioral economics in a rudimentary way to understand psychological reasons humans seem to be drawn to foods that do not support human health, and why humans repeatedly and predictably make health compromises.
 * Summarize the relationship between diet and weight loss

Advocacy
Healthy Living
 * Each morning, Michael juices a large number of fresh, organic vegetables and some organic fruits, and sips on the freshly express juice throughout the day. At home and in his demonstrations, he uses both the Breville juicer and the NutriBullet.

Daily Exercise
 * Michael tries to take long daily runs in the morning. He also does vigorous daily calisthenics.

Eating more fresh organic produce
 * A consistent theme in Ng's work has been the need for everyone to consumer organic produce in relatively large quantities and to minimize any foods from animal origins.

Pediatric cancer
 * Michael has advocated consistently for medically needy children, typically children with cancer. He and his brother have refurbished computers and provided them free to families who have children suffering from pediatric cancers.  He has aggressively supported These Three Words and vegetarian Paul Roselli's filmmaking, which draws attention to these needs.

Emerging social vision


 * Often public health researchers note that 'If we can't measure it, it may not be real!' Bridging the qualitative and the quantitative in personal responsibility for one's own health needs careful public thought across each nation's populations and subpopulations.  Currently, Michael Ng floats eight additional visions for incremental social health improvements that would involve both private and public institutional adjustments or innovations:
 * 1. Clicks and mortar educational workshops for primary and secondary schools, worksites, public settings, and corporations to teach people how to read food labels and get the most out of there produce to hit 100% of necessary vitamins and minerals.
 * 2. Design and launch an evidence-based elementary school educational program that will teach children in the 4th and 7th grade about reading food labels and how to achieve 100% of the US RDA for vitamins and minerals. In the seventh grade this certificate will be achieved as a test. In other words, teach elementary students the skills of living they need to maintain their personal health as long as they possibly can do so.
 * 3. Continue developing his daily health tip videos, working with reputable professional organizations and universities to organize and provide both content and tests of comprehension in programs leading to certification of understanding or comprehension about marketplace decisionmaking, emphasizing how the consumers' careful attention in the marketplace to freshness, quality, food labeling, and seasonality can advance personal health goals of fulfilling 100% of the RDA for vitamins, minerals, and proteins and nourishing oneself nearly entirely through organic foods.
 * 4. Support and partner with plant-based scientists (e.g. T. Colin Campbell and Caldwell Esselstyn of Forks Over Knives), educators (such as Vesanto Melina), and product developers and promoters (such as Purple Carrot and Tom Brady), to advance their broader vision, enabling developing and implementing various marketplace supports for plant-based diets, including a smoothie additive whose ingredients supply 100% RDA of Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B complex, iodine, omega-3 fatty acids, and trace minerals.  He envisions clicks and mortar marketing channels through online retailers and whole foods chains.
 * 5. Effectively float through media channels the ideal goal of marketplace incentives for a national certification of comprehension in nutrition and personal health responsibility, with national credibility that may inspire health insurance companies to integrate that recognition into behavioral health programs for individuals and group contracts.
 * 6. Behavioral health implementation research that would lead to optimizing individual acquisition and consumption of at least adequate produce and other health-supporting foods, with credibility winning public support of large swaths of the general public and their institutions.
 * 7. Develop and open training facilities for future certified trainers and health educators who can perpetuate the ongoing educational programs with individuals, municipalities, and corporate and educational settings.
 * 8. Clicks and mortar workshops in soil science and food waste recovery for farmers, interested public, and nutritionists, recovering the whole earth 'roots' of a more robust nutritional science.
 * Composting leaves and vegetation to create farming soil that are rich with vitamins and minerals, which in turn may improve nutrient density in agricultural food chain resulting in more nutritious plants.
