one RAW, LIVING, AND WILD FOODS

Raw, living, and wild foods have the potential to skyrocket your health and youthen your

external appearance. They hold the key to unlocking the hidden energy that you’ve been

searching for, releasing the weight that has been weighing you down, and enlivening your

face and body with pure radiance.

There are many routes to go with raw and living foods. Here are just a few for you to consider:

1. You could eat only raw and living foods, and thrive on a super energizing diet laden

with healthy vitamins and minerals, healthy fats, easily absorbed protein, and guilt-

free carbohydrates.

2. You could incorporate them on a daily basis, in most meals, and you can expect

amazing results if you do so.

3. You could also just use raw and living foods as a temporary strategy to lose weight,

gain more real energy, and clear up and beautify your skin. Then, you may shift to

eating less live food, and come back to it when your body is calling you (maybe even

begging) to do so.

As with everything, you need to decide your level of commitment and inquire within what feels

right to you. These are all healthy strategies for improved health, both short-term and long-

term. There is no wrong way; focus on including organic, local, fresh, and ripe foods in your

nutritional approach in the way that suits you best, and you will succeed.

Wild foods are absolutely exceptional foods that can be considered the planet’s food. There

is no improving upon wild foods; they arrive here in their perfect state, flourish easily, and

nourish our bodies on a level beyond anything else. It’s very important to include some wild

foods into your diet. You can create a small or large home garden and plant a variety of low

maintenance wild seeds that will provide you with Nature’s affordable nutrition and medicine.

Search online for ‘permaculture,’ ‘biodynamic farming,’ and ‘wild foods’ and see what videos

and information spark your interest.

two SUPERFOODS

Superfoods have the greatest ability to unlock hidden attributes and reveal such potential

within us that we may not even know it exists. A heightened sense of consciousness is inevitable,

as it accelerates intelligence, awareness, and clarity. They provide us a deep awakening with

consistent use when implemented as part of your nutritional foundation.

Superfoods are super nutrient-dense foods that are a step ahead nutritionally from other

common foods. Some can be found local, and some come from more exotic lands. They are

always of superior quality and offer outstanding direct and indirect results for the emotional,

mental, physical, and spiritual health for a woman.

You’ll want to add a spoonful or small handful of dried goji berries to the tea since goji’s are the

three SUPER TONIC HERBS

Cultivate health and beauty by using dried mineral-rich herbs on a regular basis.

My favorite daily ritual that I’ve had now for several years, is making tea—super tonic herbal

teas light me up like a Christmas tree! I also really enjoy herbs and the tea made from them:

• In the bath: (put a handful of herbs in a small muslin bag draped under spout); soak

and absorb the benefits through your skin

• As part of a face or body clay masque: use the cooled herbal tea in homemade skin

care formulas in place of flower water (as the liquid part of a powdered herbal clay

masque)

• As part of my non-dairy seed/nut mylks: use the herbal tea as 1/3 of the liquid of your

seed/nut mylk base and the other 2/3 should be spring water

• As part of the liquid base for my smoothie: use the herbal tea as your smoothie’s

liquid base with water, nut mylk or on its’ own

BONUS Tip: You can make a homemade herbal hair rinse by making a tea infusion (steeped

overnight) and using it in the shower; pour over your hair just before getting out of the shower.

Do not rinse out. This gives your hair shine and deep nourishment!

I typically make the herbal beauty tea every few days, store it in fridge, and enjoy it in these

ways throughout my week. Sometimes, it tastes so good with a pinch of stevia, I just drink the

whole brew that day. I expect you’ll have as much fun with these ideas as I have!

My favorite herbal remedy is a delicious, thirst-quenching blend that I call Stunning Skin

Medicinal Tea. This inexpensive blend includes nettles, alfalfa, horsetail, noni, oat straw, and red

clover blossoms. These herbs offer a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals—all in a highly

bioavailable form our body recognizes and therefore absorbs. You’ll replenish your reserves of

vitamin A, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (panothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B12

(cyanocobalamin), and vitamin C, D, E, and K. Plus, minerals such as calcium, chromium, iron,

magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, potassium, selenium, sulfur, and zinc, are abundant

as well. This information holds true for all herbs mentioned in this super special report.

Directions for Making Beauty-Enhancing Teas

Make a decoction of herbs when using roots, barks, seeds, and herbal root powders. Make an

infusion when using the herbal leaf and its’ flowers.

To prepare a decoction: Bring a few cups of spring water to an almost rolling boil with your

chosen herbs in your pot, turn the heat down and let it simmer for a minimum of 20 minutes.

Depending on what roots and herbs you are using, you may need or want to simmer them for

longer to extract even more phytonutrients. You can also just turn the heat off with the lid on

and allow the herbs to steep this way as well.

To prepare an infusion: Add hot water to 1-3 tablespoons of dried herbs and steep in a standard

size mason jar (16 ounces) for 4-12 hours for maximum potency. I typically prepare this as I’m

getting ready for bed and strain it in the morning for use that day and beyond.

Note: The teas do not taste like medicine, but they are medicinal.

Hint: Add a pinch of Celtic salt and small squeeze of lemon to increase the boiling point and

keep the water more structured while it’s being heated.

Ideally, you are using a Saladmaster pot in place of a lower grade leaching stainless steel so

that you don’t get heavy metals in your healing teas. But, work with what you have for now

and upgrade when you can. You’ll feel so good when you make the investment in yourself

and stop using toxic old school cookware. Note: I am not a Saladmaster dealer or consultant,

but they can put you in touch with one via the contact page on their website and you can

get it through someone local to you and even attend a free demonstration class. This is how

I do it, too.

fourRAW BEAUTY AND EDIBLE SKINCARE

It’s critical that the products you apply to your skin should be helping you, nourishing you and

healing your skin, and certainly not hurting you.

You may ask, “Do all my personal products have to be so pure and even edible?” Well, consider

this—if the thought of spooning them into your mouth sounds disgusting to you, why are you

using them? Your skin is your largest organ and it drinks up most everything that you put on

it! If one of your products is pretty clean (aka: label claims ‘natural’—which means NOTHING

by the way), but may have a couple of genetically-modified ingredients, fats that go rancid

easily and fewer organic ingredients than you’d think for such a ‘natural’ product, it’s best to

toss them into the garbage and start anew. It’s liberating.

Be mindful to not overlook the negative consequences of using well-marketed unimpressive

skin and body care products that are marketed as natural. These products are an insult to

raw, vegan, organic, edible, and truly pure skin care lines that are made with love and good

intentions. I want to share this because I care about you and your health and am willing to

be direct: it’s all marketing—they’re not ‘natural’ products—in fact there’s nothing natural

about them.

What ‘natural’ products am I talking about? The ones you buy at health food stores—your

natural food store, where you would expect you could get some good quality stuff. You CAN

get few things that are okay, sure (i.e. lip balms)… but are the choices there the best choices

available to you? In a pinch, fine—but certainly not for regular use. How long have all those

products been sitting on the shelf?

Most women would be better off applying straight extra virgin organic coconut oil over their

body, rose hip seed oil under their eyes and on their face for daytime replenishment, and raw

cacao butter as a night cream as needed. This is a super simple regimen that you can build

from confidently.

Your face and body will not be oily when using these pure oils. You can exfoliate first if you

want to open up your pores; this will enhance detoxification and absorption of the oils even

better, and if your skin does feel oily after applying the coconut, rose hip or cacao oils and

butter, then you may have applied too much in that area. It’s an easy and simple fix: rub the

excess oil somewhere else on your body or on someone else. Give it a minute and you’ll be

smooth as a baby’s butt and wonder why everyone doesn’t do this.

I challenge you to try this if you aren’t already implementing these easy, inexpensive ways to

soothe, nourish, and heal your skin. Please take before and after pictures for yourself. You’ll

want to see them!

You deserve the best. Your skin can look so much better than it already does. Your perception

of your own beauty will soar when you make the choice to honor your body temple and

treat it with respect.

Consider that even if you only use average/store-bought skin care products occasionally,

you are still periodically poisoning yourself through your largest organ. This may sound so

extreme, but what is truly extreme is the amount of poisons that the average person in

the US and the World puts on their skin on a daily basis. These poisonous chemicals are

causing serious damage to our bodies and to the environment on a level that is extremely

disheartening. It’s time to re-think what is radical and extreme.

This whole concept may require a paradigm shift. The products sold with parabens

(methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben) are obviously toxic (they cause

hormonal cancers in women and men). Walk to your bathroom NOW and check and double

check every single product within those 4 walls. Throw them out immediately if they contain

any ingredients with the word paraben in them (usually the last several ingredients in the list).

If there are no parabens, great! You’re starting from a higher platform. Do you know what

the other ingredients in your products do for your skin? Is each ingredient for both food and

cosmetic use? If you have to stop and think if it’s a good quality product, then very likely it’s

less than the best ever. The quality and potency should RADIATE and be absolutely apparent,

not just because of what the label says (remember, there are no regulations in the cosmetics/

personal products industry), but because it’s so safe and good for you that you can eat it. That

doesn’t mean you will—it means you CAN.

Review your choices, refuse to allow cost to get in the way since truly natural skin oils are very

cost-effective, and stop compromising when it comes to you. If you follow this advice and use

these individual oils, keep the rose hip seed oil in the fridge (use within 12 months of date of

purchase) and coconut and cacao at room temperature. They will last nearly as long as any

products intentionally formulated to last indefinitely.

fiveTHE SECRET BASIC HUMAN NEEDS: WATER, GROUNDING, SUNSHINE, EXERCISE, AND HOME ENVIRONMENT

There is so much to say about each of the following, yet I will get straight to the point and offer

you just the honest truth of what you need to know.

Spring Water: Your body is approximately 70% water. It takes about one week of drinking water

to replace nearly all your water content, to renew your blood plasma. Would you rather have

that 70% be filtered tap water from a water source that is likely destroying delicate ecology’s

with damns where chemicals have been put into the water, are polluted, and unstructured?

Or, do you want to be made up of 70% wild noble water, the only time-proven natural water

for humans?

I highly advise you to do whatever it takes to acquire and use fresh cold spring water bottled

yourself in glass jugs as the water you drink. If you are currently using filtered tap water, please

consider that, yes—it is better than straight tap water and many bottled waters that have been

sitting in plastic for months, exposed to light, electromagnetic fields, and heat. Yet remember,

that a filter is a relatively small machine (even the expensive ones) that cannot actually make

the water living. To make the water living, you need our planet to do its magic.

An excellent source for finding spring water nearest you is www.findaspring.com. Remember

to treat your water with the royal care that so many people do for their glass and cork

bottled wine.

I used to be under the false impression that drinking water that came from below the ground

was dirty. My assumption was lacking education and not based upon anything concrete. If

you are feeling this way, that spring water is or has the potential to be contaminated, I ask that

you consider that when you drink fresh spring water, you are likely drinking water that not only

is not processed in any way, but also may be 10,000 years old. It is true—when you start drinking

the purest and freshest water on the planet, it is one of the most fun and gratifying ways to

connect with the Earth and heal your body.

Grounding: Grounding, otherwise known as Earthing, may just be the most important health

discovery ever. I find it so interesting that it may be the #1 discovery, especially since a majority

of us has never heard this term used before even though on some level, somewhere within us

we can understand it’s significance. In the most simplistic terms, grounding is connecting us to

the Earth, to the Planet’s magnetism and healing powers.

If you have sickness, pain, and inflammation, you may just be electron deficient. Learn

how Nature’s original anti-inflammatory—the Earth itself!—can remedy your deficiency and

improve your health, energy, and sleep. If you are stressed or experiencing anything other

than amazing health, and especially if you feel that you have tried ‘everything’ to help your

Page 11: Everlasting Vitality AND Youth - 1ShoppingCart.com Vitality AND Youth. 2 ©2011 by Bethanne Wanamaker one RAW, LIVING, AND WILD FOODS Raw, living, and wild foods have the potential

11www.ediblegoddess.com

condition, learning about grounding will likely be the answer you’ve been searching for all

along. Best yet, it’s free!

Beneath you feet outdoors is not just a mere patch of grass, dirt, sand,

or concrete. We humans, as all other living beings, are electrical creatures

on an electrical planet, and the ground beneath us is more than something

we just stand, walk, play, and build on.

—Earthing, by Clinton Ober, Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., and Martin Zucker.

This book will revolutionize your path to healing! The concept is so very simple, yet we’ve become

so disconnected to one of the easiest ways to achieve outstanding health and vitality.

Sunshine: There is a misconception that the sun’s rays are harmful. Our sun is actually quite

healing on many levels. Not only does it have a tendency to clear up skin inflammations and

breakouts, but also it provides us with a hormone (although known as a vitamin) we cannot

go without. Vitamin D is the most powerful vitamin in preventing new cancer and inhibiting

established cancers (Knockout, by Suzanne Somers). Don’t you just feel the healing energy

of the Sun when you bask in its’ warmth? Health radiates from a woman with a tanned,

healthy glow!

BONUS Tip: Wait at least a few hours before bathing after sunning your skin to maximize the

absorption of vitamin D. Surprisingly, it can be washed off if scrubbed too soon after exposure

to the Sun. Take advantage of this simple knowledge and allow the benefits to penetrate the

layers of the skin.

I recommend getting a free copy of the e-report published by Truth Publishing titled, The Healing Power of Sunlight and Vitamin D, for a thorough information guide to the honest

truth about this critical hormone that we all so desperately need to prevent dis/ease and keep

ourselves well. This report can be found by searching on the Natural News website (http://bit.

ly/NtrlNews), or directly at www.TruthPublishing.com.

Exercise: The way to succeed with exercise is to find an exercise that you cannot get enough

of! Your goal is to find an activity that you truly love, that you look forward to, and that feeds

you mentally as much as physically. Finding the activity that does it all can take some time,

and is absolutely worth the search. Whatever exercise you do, be sure it’s one you look forward

to doing most days of the week to prevent boredom and to keep motivation high.

Page 12: Everlasting Vitality AND Youth - 1ShoppingCart.com Vitality AND Youth. 2 ©2011 by Bethanne Wanamaker one RAW, LIVING, AND WILD FOODS Raw, living, and wild foods have the potential

12 ©2011 by Bethanne Wanamaker

It’s ideal if you have activities that you love to do for all seasons, so no matter the weather

outside, you have an option that really appeals to you. In the summer, you may find yourself

biking, or hiking with your dog, friends, or solo, on nearby trails to your home and periodically

doing indoor workouts like taking yoga or Pilates classes. In the winter, you may desire to get in

the heat much more often and take classes to keep your core warm; you’ll want to balance

your routine with indoor or outdoor running, walking, hiking, skiing, etc., so that you still enjoy

the outdoors.

All forms of yoga are a moving meditation, yet also have the potential to be an amazing

physical workout. Doing yoga in a heated room (bikram, power, and ashtanga yoga) offers

several benefits: it allows detoxification through the skin via sweating, increases blood flow,

increases oxygen throughout the body, speeds up the breakdown of glucose and fatty

acids, makes muscles more elastic (being warmed up means you’re less susceptible to injury),

improves flexibility dramatically, improves coordination, reduces heart regularities associated

with exercise, and burns fat more easily (yea!).

Home Environment: It is critically important that you only use non-toxic cleaning supplies

in your home, whether or not you have pets or little children running around. There are

extremely powerful and dangerous chemicals in store bought home cleaning supplies

despite the strong marketing that claims superior results. You can easily make your own

products with lemons, vinegar, and baking soda; search online for a ‘how-to’ of simple

alternative homemade recipes. Purchase natural and if available, organic product choices

from your natural food store.

Natural cleaning products are safe, effective, and the responsible choice. Seventh Generation

is one brand I like in particular. Be discerning in your choices and compare labels! Choose

ones that have less ingredients and ones that you know, understand, and feel comfortable

using. There are so many ‘green’ and ‘eco’ choices available to you—take advantage of

them and refuse to buy the same conventional supplies that your parents used 20+ years ago.

Clean your cozy home sanctuary with products and supplies that reflect your conscious living

choices. It’s all too common to purchase the cheapest cleaning products, yet the results are

profound and long lasting when you choose the best. It will be well worth your effort to make

your own or to spend a little bit more to ensure they are entirely non-toxic, leaving no wanted

residues in your household.

sixMINDSET, ATTITUDE, AND INTENTIONS

Believe in Yourself.

It seems like just 3 little words, but when you really embrace it, your world changes. Once

you believe in yourself, your self-value skyrockets. When self-love and respect are the new

standards, health becomes the #1 priority. You realize that your body is a sacred temple and

should be treated as such. You are willing to do whatever it takes to keep your body temple

at its peak optimal level and nothing less will suffice. No accepting compromise when it

comes to YOU.

There is a profound connection between our self-value, our inner thoughts and our physical

health. If we experience health ailments, sickness, and dis/ease, there is always an underlying

emotional issue that is best addressed to fully heal on the deepest level.

Your Body is a Temple.

The idea of this is that when you treat your body with honor and respect, and embrace pure

living, you take actions with the intention of healing. Yet another liberating action.

Ideally, you want to make choices wisely and to be picky with what goes into your body.

Compromise is not an option if you want an abundantly thriving future. Don’t tolerate

compromise when it comes to your health because our capacity to enjoy life is greatly

lessened without it.

Your body is sacred and holds immense potential if you treat it in this way. You will reap great

rewards with this mindset and emotional strategy that will continue for years to come because

of the choices you made today. It’s time to commit to achieving a new level of health, to let

go of the excuses and take full responsibility of your current state of health and appearance.

If it is not where you want it to be, then you are very fortunate that you hold 100% of the power

to change what is needed to move forward and do something about it. If you really want

something, realize that it can and will happen. We should expect the best when the changes

we make are acted upon with effort, commitment, and perseverance. I have experienced

this first-hand.

You cannot forget about giving credit yourself where it’s due: you are reading this in its’ entirety,

which is a demonstration that you care enough to gain inspiration and learn knowledge that

has the potential to skyrocket your health. Pat yourself on your back just for showing up. A

huge amount of success in any aspect of life begins with just showing up.

Page 14: Everlasting Vitality AND Youth - 1ShoppingCart.com Vitality AND Youth. 2 ©2011 by Bethanne Wanamaker one RAW, LIVING, AND WILD FOODS Raw, living, and wild foods have the potential

When you are looking to implement a new lifestyle or eating habits, you inevitably need to

break out of your comfort zone to successfully achieve your goal—otherwise, you remain

where you are, which may even be stagnant or at a plateau. I have found that no matter

what the choice is, we really need to step beyond our comfort zone in order to grow and

evolve. When you feel uncomfortable and are in the learning curve, you are moving upward,

you’re reaching toward your big vision whatever that may be, and you’re becoming more of

who you want to be!

Women tend to have negative inner self-talk and self-sabotaging thoughts when embracing

a new cutting edge strategy for healthful living or starting a supplement or Superfood routine.

I have learned that if you push forward and act on it anyway, whether or not you have full

confidence, the rewards will trickle in and eventually, begin to pour in.

People are reluctant to make changes because many times they don’t know how to do what

they want to do and are lacking confidence in moving forward—yet it’s this very decision

that could bring them to the next level to where they want to be! So, step beyond where

you’ve been before and continue with commitment, with learning, and act without hesitation

and in spite of fear… and your experiences and successes will be filled with insight and will

compound immensely.

There are a few questions we need to ask ourselves to really step it up a notch:

1. Where are you holding yourself back? You want to let go of the boundaries and

make a decision to commit to taking action on something that you have wanted to

do to live healthier, yet may have postponed for a more convenient time or better

circumstances. Create the circumstances now and remember that success likes

speed—decide quickly that you already are who you want to be (maybe just under a

few layers) and that you deserve all the wellness in the world.

2. Why are you choosing to make more health conscious choices? Avoid the general

things like having more energy and looking better—but WHY do you want to jump out

of bed in the morning, have steady energy throughout the day and be ready to rest

easily at night? Why do you want to look attractive and have that sexy essence of

confidence?

If your intention and belief are strong enough, you can change your DNA.

—Dr. Stephen Sinatra

Consider what the little things are that will make a big difference in your life and WHY you want

them. I suggest writing them down to get really clear and to be able to reflect back on them,

sort of like a checklist journal. When you do this, it will feel so good to visually see your progress

and know just how far you’ve come. Stay committed and you will go far.

With health, most of us want to feel our absolute best all the time, yet it can at times feel so far

away and not always easily achievable. I am here to show you just how much is possible and

how close you are to attaining it for yourself. Many times, it’s just one decision away and you

can choose that right now for yourself. Postponing health truly is a death sentence.

Sometimes when we are learning about a new to a way of living…

• wepostponemakingdecisionsthatwouldultimatelybenefitus

• wegetintimatedandfeellikewearen’tsurehowtoproceedtoreallymakeitworkforus

• weprocrastinateandthenjuststaywhereweare,anddon’tchangeathing

So consider that you grow the most when you are out of your comfort zone. Decide what

new attitude, mindset, or action you need to implement to go beyond where you’ve been,

especially if you’ve been stuck or in a rut—and then, do it today. I’d like to emphasize that the

best things come to those who have an open mind and are willing to learn new information.

If all this health stuff seems confusing or overwhelming, know that you are presented with the

material when you are ready to learn it. That’s just how the Universe works. There is a popular

saying that the teacher presents itself when the student is ready to learn… so now may be

a good time to shift whatever needs to be shifted and to let go of any excuses that have

held you back in the past. I put this book together for you to offer my support and advice for

attaining the life you’ve always wanted for yourself. When you have your health, everything

else is not far behind.

Finally, do what makes sense to YOU. Ask yourself if what you are hearing (while reading this,

while listening to health advocates, etc) really resonates with you at the deepest level. Tune

into that intuitive innate feeling that we were all born with! Set your intention and pursue it

passionately. The power is within and I am here to remind you of the potential that is within you.

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and

are famous preservers of youthful good looks.

—Charles Dickens

sevenCREATE A WINNING STRATEGY

Now that you have the 6 main components that WILL launch you to your next level of health

and beauty, we need to create a winning strategy that pulls it all together. There are several

aspects that you want to use to build your foundation that will really allow you to succeed with

ease. I have found these individual strategies actually prove to be quite relevant, profound,

and revolutionary. In fact, they offer the ability to take what I’ve shared with you already and

turn it into a massive transformation that surpasses your expectations and changes everything

for the better.

PracticeYou need to get in the kitchen and experiment with the information you’ve learned here.

Every creation you make is practice and will refine your knowledge and skills. The more you

practice, the more experience you gain, and the most experience you have, the better your

skills, knowledge, and ability to OWN your lifestyle and even teach it to others. This makes a

big difference the next time around. Commit to use recipes just as a guideline and taking

advantage of your innate wisdom, your intuition, as to how to proceed (expanding from the

original recipe). Let go of any intimidation, dive in, and realize you have it within you to make

rewarding dishes.

ConsistencyTo really make a lasting impact, you must have consistency with your health-conscious

practices. This is extremely simple, and so often overlooked, yet you do not want to

underestimate this—it is gold! Sporadic action will not get results; you must find ways to

continue to inspire yourself. Figure out what 1 health ritual excites you the most, that offers

benefits on multiple levels, and do it several times per week—if not daily. Consistency takes

a strong commitment, yet once the habits and behaviors are in place, they become near

impossible to break—a good thing for you!

Continuing EducationMaking the commitment to life-long learning is one of the most important and beneficial

decisions you’ll ever make, especially if your learning revolves around health and self-

development. In our current and future world, information tends to get old quickly. It’s up to

us to remain at and study the most cutting edge information we can get our hands on. It’s

exciting and liberating to find out what’s at the forefront of what you’re passionately improving

in your life! Recognize though, that “there is never a crowd on the leading edge” (wisdom by

Abraham-Hicks). You and your role model (and your conscious community) may be the ones

raising the bar and setting the standards. Stick together, hold strong, and do not allow old

dated research or information to become the rules you play by. Continue to educate yourself

and study with the most progressive thinkers who are willing to step outside of the box and

bring you the best of the best.

“The happiest people in the world are those who feel absolutely terrific about themselves,

and this is the natural outgrowth of accepting responsibility for every part of their life.

—Brian Tracy

Unconditional SupportIf you are going to make this nutrition and lifestyle work for you, you need to have the support of

those around you. There will always be questions and inquiries of your new way of being, and it’s

something you just need to come to expect and appreciate. Find friends who will relish and be

grateful for your progressive ways—they will benefit and so will you. It also goes without saying

that to honor, respect, and love yourself for all that you’re doing, will have the most dramatic

effect of all. It’s awesome to be surrounded by people who ‘get’ what you are all about and

what you are doing, yet it’s even more important to have your own stamp of approval.

ADD Things InThe concept of adding things in is immensely powerful. Instead of the traditional approach

of removing and stripping away foods from your diet, embrace the idea of including foods,

Superfoods, and super tonic herbs, into what you’re ALREADY doing. No need to switch up

your entire nutritional protocol in one big swoop, you can do so gradually and incrementally.

Ultimately, this is an easier, stronger, and more practical strategy. Even though change is

the only constant, new habits can be hard to implement no matter how much we desire to

do so. If you start by strengthening what you are already doing, and THEN naturally shift to

healthier ways and more forward-thinking actions, behaviors, and habits—ease and grace

will no doubt be a part of your process.

Practice DiscernmentThere is so much contradicting information available to us, both online and off, and to really

move forward, you need to listen to what’s out there and then do just what makes sense do

you. Do what resonates with YOU. There will always be contradicting information available

and it’s your job to listen, observe, and decide for yourself whose opinion and experience you

want to trust. Model only those who are receiving the results you want for yourself. This may

sound like common sense, but really cherry pick the people who become your mentors.

Have FUNIf you do all of the above without having some serious fun, your life will not be nearly as exciting

as it could be. The potential that getting healthier unleashes is amazingly profound. Surround

yourself with positive friends who enjoy being healthy and have fun while doing so, as it will

make an enormous impact on you. Having fun and feeling joy should already be part of your

foundation and intention in living a rich and fulfilling life, so placing a heavy emphasis on it

regarding your health is just an extension of this value.

It’s well known that people don’t move forward, or at least take giant leaps forward, without motivation

and support. With the right information, the right customized strategy, and specific actions that will

inevitably lead to dramatic and positive results, you can skyrocket to levels of health you didn’t even

know were possible before.

Imagine the possibilities. Can you see what’s possible for you? I certainly can... this is part of my blessing.

I can clearly see where you may be compromising your choices with regard to nutrition, lifestyle, and

mindset, and accurately find what’s holding you back from reaching your goals. I have a great ability

to show you these areas where you’ve unknowingly settled for less, how to release them and create

new, higher standards for yourself, and help you breakthrough—and ultimately get you to where you

want to go.

Think of it this way, I have the x-ray vision of YOU, that you cannot have, since I stand outside of you

with quite honestly, sometimes a better perspective. I hold you in a space of where you want to be

and I see you only in this way. Together, we can identify the deceivingly easy steps you need to take

on this journey, yet that launch you way beyond your wildest dreams.

Are you ready to release what’s holding you back and commit to doing whatever it takes?
