Annie B. Bond (formerly Annie Berthold-Bond) is a green-living advocate, author, editor, entrepreneur, and consultant. She was born in 1953 in Rhinebeck, New York. She is the current editor-in-chief of The Wellness Wire. [1] She is also the founder of Terraspheres.com and ATrueFind.com. [2] [3] Bond has written five books on green living and was named "the foremost expert on green living" by Body & Soul magazine in 2009. [1] [2] [4] [5]
At an interview in 2013, Bond stated that she was poisoned by a gas leak at a restaurant, where she was employed, in 1980. The leak sent her and 80 people to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with permanent central nervous system damage. [2] Her apartment building was soon exterminated with a pesticide which she said was later taken off the market because it was neurotoxic. [2] She was diagnosed with atypical manic depression. [2]
Bond was put under the care of Dr. Leo Galland, one of the first environmental medicine MDs, who diagnosed her with organophosphate pesticide poisoning and multiple chemical sensitivity [2] [6] [7] (a controversial condition not widely recognized). Since then, Bond has made green living her career due to her perceived necessity of living without chemicals. [6] [7] [8]
In 1988, Bond gave birth to her only child, Lily Berthold-Bond, who also writes about green living. [9] [10]
Bond is the author of five books on green living. Her first book, Clean and Green: The Complete Guide to Non-Toxic and Environmentally Safe Housekeeping, was published in 1990.
Her second book, The Green Kitchen Handbook, was published in 1997 with a foreword by Meryl Streep. [11] Better Basics for the Home: Simple Solutions for Less Toxic Living, her third book, was published in 1999 and Home Enlightenment, her fourth book, was published in 2005. [7] [12]
In 2010, Bond collaborated with Melissa Breyer and Wendy Gordon (foreword by Alice Waters) on the book True Food: Eight Simple Steps to a Healthier You. [13] True Food was published by National Geographic and won the 2010 Gourmand Award as one of the Best Health and Nutrition Books in the Lifestyle, Body and World category. [14]
Bond has been recognised as an expert in green living. [2] [4] [5] In addition to her books, Bond was the founder and editor-in-chief of "Green Alternatives for Health and the Environment" from 1989 to 1994. [15] From 1994 to 1996, she was the editor-in-chief for "The Green Guide," which was published by Mothers & Others for a Livable Planet and is now owned by National Geographic. [16]
Between 2000 and 2008, Bond was the Executive producer of Healthy and Green Living for Care2.com, where she authored over 4,000 blogs. [17] Her newsletters reached 1.8 million subscribers.[ citation needed]
Bond has also written blogs and articles for Gaiam, Intent, and Body & Soul, among others. [4] She partnered with alternative medicine specialist Deepak Chopra on a featured blog for The Huffington Post. [18] In 2007, Bond served as the spokesperson for Maid Brigade, as well as serving as a consult for the company. [5]
According to Chopra, "Bond offers a practical guide to create well-being for our home, our environment, and our planet. Follow her advice and both you and our planet will be healthier." [4]
Bond has now launched The True Find for her "Ask Annie B." column and other writings, as well as Bondify Media, a content marketing agency.
