I recently interviewed Jan Chozen Bays, Roshi, a pediatrician specializing in working with abused children and the author of Mindful Eating: A Guide to Rediscovering a Healthy and Joyful Relationship With Food and Mindful Medicine, among other books. She has studied and practiced Zen Buddhism since 1973, serving as the teacher for the Zen Community of Oregon since 1985. Bays is a wife, mother, contented cook, and avid gardener.
