The festival was a smash hit, and the cooking demo was geared

towards families who want to improve their nutrition with healthy, local ingredients.

Thanks to Rochester’s Child Care Council for co-sponsoring the event, and providing excellent green resources to local families.

After talking with Neal and hearing his inspiring talk, I had him sign a copy of his new book, 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart. The book is partially inspired by the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine’s Vegan Kickstart program, in which my recipes have been featured.

Over the last few day’s I have been looking through the book, and am finding myself re-inspired by the information presented. Dr. Barnard provides easy to digest nutritional and medical advice that has been proven to boost metabolism, lower cholesterol, and help people lose weight all without counting calories.

The recipes are easy to prepare, and there are many handy lists of dairy-free and meat-alternative foods that make it easy for newbies to this idea of plant-based eating.

With out current healthcare crises of heart disease and type 2 Diabetes on the rise, this book couldn’t come at a better time.

Do yourself, and your loved ones a favor – get this book! It could save someone’s life.

Cardiovascular Health Tele-Series

Starting February 15th at 2pm EST

How this program helped Morgan Spurlock from Super Size Me lower his blood pressure and cholesterol naturally – while improving his energy and helping him to lose weight!

I know not everyone wants to totally change her body and lifestyle. Many of you would be thrilled to increase your energy and finally get a good nights sleep while enjoying easy natural foods, and others, well, you’re ready to fully step onto a new path and revamp every aspect of your life.

In my Red Hot Hearts 8 Week Tele-Series, wherever you are is where you are met. The intention of this program is progress and implementation, not perfection and comparing ourselves to others (which always feels bad).

“The past is behind us, love is in front and all around us.” ~Terri Guillemets

This special group of 20 women will practice simple, fun ways to learn to love their bodies just as they are now, which, funnily enough, will enable them to transform their health and energy.

Detoxification – at least as I teach it – is about removing the negative and adding positive foods and techniques that help you live a healthy life. It’s a bridge that leads to rejuvenation and restoration and launches you fully into total wellness.

Too Many Talented, Driven Women Are Suffering From Or

Are On The Road To Heart Disease

I’ve seen it, time and again. Focused, brilliant women like you get held back from living an authentic life because of the very thing meant to fuel your days: food.

It’s not your fault – it’s pretty much engrained in our culture to eat a diet high in sugar and refined products and chemical-laden food. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way out. In fact, there are many healthful, TASTY, wholesome foods available to you – if you know where to look.

That’s why I created my signature 8-Week Detox Tele-Series Program based on my books, including The Great American Detox Diet. This is the book I wrote after healing my partner-in-crime Morgan Spurlock after making the movie Super Size Me together, in which he ate nothing but McDonald’s for a month! (and you’ll get a signed copy if you sign up by 2/3!)

Morgan’s cholesterol grew over 60 points during the month of fast food, and his blood pressure shot up as well. His energy was low, and he felt terrible. After 8 weeks of following my menus and advice, Morgan’s cholesterol and blood pressure were back down to a healthy range.

Watch my video about one of my top secrets for lowering cholesterol naturally!

When you sign up for this program, I’ll walk you through the steps that worked for me – and have since worked for countless others. The vital curriculum you’ll follow is made up of targeted advice that will steadily lead you toward a balanced, vibrant life.

Red Hot Hearts – What You’ll Get In This Women’s Cardiovascular Health & Detox Tele-Series

“Love doesn’t sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all of the time, made new.”

~Ursula K. LeGuin

Red Hot Hearts: Enjoy delicious vitality with my heart healthy recipe (see video below!), detox your life & protect yourself from heart disease

Beginning 2/15/11 I’ll be leading a select group of women via telephone through a transformational, fun, and delicious program for 8 weeks.

Not only will I be offering this tele-course to 20 women (so we all have time to share & learn from each other), but I’ve decided to reduce my normal price in half so that I can work with women who really want to feel better and heal, but haven’t been able to afford my, or other holistic, services before.

I’m passionate about helping women to transform their health so they can take back their natural power and go on to create great change in the world. When you get a group of women together to focus their energy on a specific topic, issue, or concern, watch out! Magic can happen and mountains will be moved.

The program will include a special members-only online classroom, an e-group for member’s questions and comments, as well as recipes, menu planning, and materials.

If you’re wondering what you’ll get in the program, I’m going to give you a quick sneak peak into the first topic:

How adding certain whole foods for can prevent heart disease, while simultaneously improving digestion and improving your energy – sounds amazing, right?

-       How to shop for them (saving money!)

-       How to cook them ahead of time (saving time!)

-       How they heal you  (protecting your health!)

Here’s One Of My Favorite Whole Grain, Heart Protecting Recipes on Earth!
