235: Your Blueprint For Weight Loss Success and Avoiding the Black Hole of Fitness Doom with Fitness Expert Adam Schaeuble Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

Adam Schaeuble is a PHD. Not the kind of PHD you're thinking. It stands for Previous Heavy Dude. At his rock bottom, Adam weighed 327 pounds, and was over $40,000 in debt. But he had good friends who kept giving him the DVD of The Secret to watch. When he eventually did, Adam realized he needed to take his future into his own hands. Five years on, he's achieved everything he set out to - lost 100 pounds, started a family, and started a successful business.

How? He stopped focusing on what the world was bringing to his door and instead started looking at what he wanted to achieve, and how he was going to attract what he wanted into his life. Positive mental attitude, a strong lifestyle rehabilitation statement, and consistency are key. Through this journey, Adam found his calling: to help as many people as possible dial up their health and get the results they deserve. Now a transformational coach, fitness expert and gym owner, he's helped his home town lose over 35,000 pounds, and is on a mission to help people lose 1 million pounds of excess body weight.

His new podcast, the Million Pound Mission, goes into next-level thinking to take you deeper into nutrition and fitness, and motivate you to take action and get results. It's packed with inspiration and knowledge bombs - if you're trying to lose weight, this is the show for you! You can donate your weight loss to the Million Pound Mission here.

Adam's Tips for Manifestation:

Write your goals down as though you've already achieved them
Declare your goals out loud every day, morning and evening
Break down your goals into manageable chunks and take action
Don't go to bed before doing at least ONE thing towards your goals
Don't be afraid to focus on several goals at once
Believe it, plug into that vision, how is it going to feel to reach your goals?
Find your why - ask yourself why you want to reach your goal - that's what will get you fired up and motivated.

Black Hole of Fitness Doom

Do you fall into the black hole of fitness doom? When we embark on a new program, whether it's a fitness program or a new diet, we all go through the same cycle. We start out feeling pumped, then we begin seeing results and feel fired up. And then we have a "life happens" moment, we're not ready, so we crash and burn. We give up, believe that we've failed or that the program doesn't work, and we start another one. And on we go, losing weight, gaining it back, and each time feeling less motivated and more burned out. To break out of that cycle, it's vital to figure out your transformational danger zones and find strategies to deal with them. Once you do that, you will get dramatically better results from your fitness and nutrition program.

Adam's Amazing Results Formula:

If you apply these four principles to any health goals, you're going to succeed.

Get committed to ONE nutrition plan. Be consistent for 28 days.
Get committed to a 28-day fitness plan - plan your workouts in advance and stick to them.
Strategic thinking - understand your danger zones and the things that usually derail you, and devise a plan to avoid falling into the Black Hole of Fitness Doom.
Do the first three consistently over time. Consistency is key.

Adam's tips for surviving the holiday season without gaining loads of weight:

This isn't the time to focus on losing weight - it's more about maintaining, while being accountable to a plan.
Start filling in your transformational notebook (you can download it free on Adam's website) and create a 28-day cycle.
Allow some cheat meals, and track them so you can adapt your next 28 days - don't beat yourself up!
Be present and conscious. You can build momentum every new cycle.
Just don't check out - be easy on yourself but have a game plan to keep your goals in mind.

234: The Truth About Keto, Reversing Diabetes and Going Vegan with Dr. Neal Barnard Dec 11, 2018

Show notes

Can you reverse diabetes? Conventional science says no. Our favorite plant-based doctor says YES. And this is backed up by science.

Dr. Neal Barnard grew up on a ranch in North Dakota, cattle county. He wanted to be a psychiatrist. But while working as an autopsy assistant, he made the connection between meat and a dead animal. The seed was planted. As time went on, he began thinking about veganism from the standpoint of both health and animal welfare. Dr. Barnard believes compassion should be the foundation of medicine - this means medical research has to be ethical. So if a disease is related to food, like diabetes, we need to do more than simply throw pharmaceuticals at it and hope for the best. That's why he set up the Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that promotes preventative medicine through a plant-based diet.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes happens when your body's cells are no longer able to absorb sugar and use it for energy. This happens if you eat too many fatty foods. Fat gets into the cells and stops them working property. The solution? Well, it isn't the standard diabetes diet - low-calorie, low-carb. The best diet for reversing diabetes is a vegan diet, with minimum oils and an abundance of low-glycemic foods.

Why not just avoid carbs?

Many people think that to control your blood sugar you simply need to avoid carbs. But the problem with that theory is that around half of what we eat contains carbs - including a lot of good stuff, like sweet potatoes, beans, wholegrains. Sure, your blood sugar levels will drop and you will lose weight on a low-carb diet… because you're semi-starving. It is not sustainable long-term. Then add extra eggs and meat, and the result is more cholesterol and a higher risk of early death. Keto may be on trend, but it won't do your health much good.

Dr. Barnard isn't just a plant-based nutrition expert. He's also a TV host and best-selling author, with over 70 scientific papers and 18 books published. His latest one, The Vegan Starter-Kit is a super-short book packed with tips for transitioning to a vegan diet and reversing diabetes. It makes the perfect gift for anyone looking to go plant-based - give your loved ones the gift of health! It's out on December 24th, and you can pre-order it on Amazon now.

Dr. Barnard's best plant-based tips for the holidays:

Choose a restaurant with great plant-based options, like Italian, Thai and Japanese.
Make a healthy dish and bring it to the party (or just make a vegan cheeseboard if you don't fancy cooking)
Don't arrive at the party hungry - have a little something to eat beforehand

233: Kick Your Sugar Addiction & Free Yourself From Overeating For Good with Weight Loss Expert David Zappasodi Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

When Allison hired weight-loss expert David Zappasodi, he told her to stop exercising and go buy a bunch of junk food. This is a weight-loss strategy like no other. But, it WORKS.

Did you know that out of all the people who try losing weight every year, only 3% succeed? From the moment David stepped into the health and wellness industry, over 20 years ago, he knew he had to find a new method that challenges common weight-loss approaches. So he developed a revolutionary strategy to reprogram your brain to give up junk food and stop over-eating for good. His ultimate goal? To eradicate world-wide obesity. We love his mission!!

But how can you do this? By creating brain-flips around your cravings.

How Do Brain Flips Work?

It's vital to understand that we have two aspects to our brain. First, there's the thinking brain - we use it to fix problems and make our lives better. The thinking brain knows that certain foods are an issue and it wants to get rid of the craving. This is the part of the brain most of us will try to use to lose weight, and it never works. The sensory brain, on the other hand, is different - it's the opposite of your thinking brain in so far as it has no capacity to think. It just functions through your senses - hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste - but it doesn't have a concept of what it's seeing, tasting, touching, smelling etc. It doesn't identify - that's the thinking brain's job. Your sensory brain's role is to keep you safe - it does that by creating familiar associations.

For example, let's say as a child you fell and scraped your knee. Your mum bandaged it up, and gave you an ice-cream. Your thinking brain is aware the bandaging is what's helping, but your sensory brain just links the taste of ice-cream to the physical sensation of feeling better - it creates a program that says ice-cream equals feeling good. The result? A craving for ice-cream that lasts into adulthood. The story changes, the food changes, but it's pretty much the same for everyone and all cravings. Your thinking brain might know that this is happening, but that won't solve the problem. Unless you can reprogram your brain, you will keep having those cravings. You need a brain-flip. To create this brain-flip, you need a pain tool.

Pain Tool:

You've concluded that ice-cream equals safe. So you need to create a pain tool that reprograms your sensory brain to believe that ice-cream equals not safe. How? David gets his clients to make an audio that goes deep into what their life will look like if they don't solve this problem, which they listen to whilst eating the ice-cream or whatever food they crave. This pain tool plants a seed in the sensory brain that says ice-cream is not enjoyable after all. It's a small seed, but it begins to decrease the cravings. Within a few days, this new programming takes over. Your brain no longer associates the ice-cream with comfort, it associates it with pain. The result? You don't crave that food any more. You are free.

And that's just Phase 1. In Phase 2, David tackles over-eating. Where cravings tend to be an association of taste with comfort, overeating is an association between the feeling of fullness and feeling safe. This might happen because as a child you were told to finish what was on your plate, so your sensory brain created a link between overeating and feeling safe. In Phase 3, you go even deeper, by brain-flipping your beliefs about working out - making exercise so exciting you'll be begging to get to the gym. Tune in to discover David's tools for brain-flipping around overeating and exercise.

Alli has just completed Phase 1, and has gone from eating dessert every single day to not even wanting anything sweet. She feels like a completely new person - and you can too!

232: Reversing Diabetes and Building Healthy Communities With Plant-Powered Senator Eric L. Adams Nov 27, 2018

Show notes

Health is the cornerstone of prosperity. If our body isn't functioning properly, we can't do anything, we can't lead joyful lives. We normalize aches and pains, bloating, exhaustion, headaches, ill-health - all the things caused by our lifestyle. We come to believe that to be human means to get progressively sicker every year. That simply isn't true. There's no reason we can't be vibrant and active well into our 90's. Today's guest is a perfect example.

Eric L. Adams is a former Democratic State Senator and police officer, and current Borough President of Brooklyn and social justice warrior. He knows first-hand how powerful a simple lifestyle change can be. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with advanced Type 2 Diabetes. He had stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, permanent nerve damage to his hands and feet, and had lost sight in his right eye. Specialists told him that because diabetes ran in his family, he was inevitably heading towards kidney failure, blindness and possible foot amputation.

So he made a change. After reading Dr Greger's How Not To Die (check out Episode 214), and watching Forks over Knives, he cleaned out his kitchen cupboards and swapped his Standard American Diet for a whole foods plant-based diet. Just 3 weeks later, his vision cleared up, his stomach ulcers disappeared, and the nerve damage was reversed. A complete turn-around.

Now, Eric is determined to empower people to heal themselves. Because after all, there's no such thing as prosperity without a healthy community. He's teamed up with schools to teach children to grow food, and runs initiatives like Meatless Mondays and 10-day challenges for people suffering with disease, as well as hosting events to demystify veganism.

But perhaps the most exciting initiative is what's happening at Bellevue hospital. The first ever plant-based unit will be set up, run by functional medicine doctors, dietitians and nutritionists to show patients how to heal themselves, reverse disease and come off their prescription meds with a whole-food plant-based diet. Could this model be rolled out on a global scale? This could change the conversation around medicine for good. The future's looking bright! Check out Eric's Instagram to learn more!

231: Productivity Hacks, Best Vegan Party Gifts, and Healthy Holiday Tips Nov 20, 2018

Show notes

We can't achieve our goals without being productive. But sometimes it feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day. Kris McPeak is a certified life coach, author, blogger, podcast host, founder of the Silver Peak Performance swim team… and she also holds a full-time job. We couldn't think of anyone better to give us holiday productivity hacks!

How does she do it all? Prioritization, routine and self-care. It all goes hand in hand. Kris spends 8 hours at the office, makes sure she gets 8 hours sleep, and that leaves 8 hours to elevate. And Kris really has made the most of those 8 hours. She's written the books Shake it Off: Ten 10 Minute Resets For Your Day (Making Work Work For You), and Elevate Your 8: 21 Days to Prosperous Time Management, AND launched her new podcast Elevate Your 8. All this in just a few months, after attending our Rise & Bloom Mastermind in April.

Whatever your goals, or no matter how long you've been an entrepreneur, you can always learn new ways to be more productive.

Kris's Productivity Hacks:

Get a sense of how long it takes you to do the little things - showering, commuting, cooking - then figure out how much time you have left for the most important tasks.
Value your time - could you create more time for yourself by delegating or hiring someone?
Treat your time like your money - get the urgent things done first.
Set your timer for social media time so you don't get sucked into the rabbit hole.
Prioritize - figure out what needs to be done and when. Do you have to do it today or can it wait till the weekend?
Go with the flow - recognize your schedule can get messed up, and learn to be flexible.
Don't judge yourself on what you didn't get done.
Develop a morning routine.

But what about this time of year? The holidays are the perfect time to connect with loved ones and new people… but it's also easy to get overwhelmed by it all.

Here are Kris and Leslie's tips for getting through the holidays while staying healthy and productive:

Don't feel like you have to go to every party you're invited to - it's ok to turn down invitations to honor your self-care.
Plan ahead - fuel with good food and choose the healthiest dishes at parties.
Discover JOMO - the Joy Of Missing Out
Always bring food!
If you're hosting, don't worry about a signature cocktail, you can also offer non-alcoholic drinks.
Bring a plant-based wine - our favorite is Le Grand Courtage sparkling wine
Try Brown Brother's dessert wine - straight from Oz, but available in the US.

A Delicious Holiday Detox?

And of course, we all want to look and feel fabulous during the holidays. This is a time when it's even more important to detox, because we're eating a little more and drinking a few extra glasses of wine. No one wants to feel sluggish and bloated at this time. What if you could add something to your regular routine that helps your body to detox naturally? Well, you can, with Teami blends.

Detoxing helps get rid of these extra holiday toxins, improve your energy levels, clear up your skin, boost your metabolism and clear out the digestive tract. We love detoxing, but this usually means fasting, which is not easy to do at this time of year!

That's why we're excited for you to try Teami Blends, a fun way to detox that fits into your normal day-to-day. In other words, you can eat and cleanse at the same time. What's more, you can turn them into a delicious Mocha Choca latte - you'll have to tune into the podcast for the recipe! Right now, you can get 20% off Teami Blends with discount code FoodHeals.

230: Saving The World With Clean Meat and Tips For A Plant-Based Thanksgiving With Good Food Institute's Bruce Friedrich Nov 13, 2018

Show notes

Is it possible to eat meat AND be cruelty free? Can we continue eating burgers and still tackle the global climate crisis? A few years ago, the answer to that would have been no, absolutely not. But today, clean meat is forging the way towards exactly that: meat that requires no killing, and that has no environmental impact. One of the people involved in this shift is Bruce Friedrich.

Bruce went plant-based way before it was popular, back in 1987, after reading Diet for a Small Planet and realizing that meat production was taking us towards global starvation. When he found out what Pat Browne of Impossible Foods was doing, he realized clean meat is the future, and co-founded the Good Food Institute (GFI) - a non-profit organization that works with scientists and entrepreneurs to find sustainable, kind alternatives to industrially produced animal products.

Clean meat is not another veggie burger. It IS meat - but grown from cells in a lab, rather than by rearing livestock. The result is meat that is better for your health, and for the planet:

Better for Your Health and Global Health

Did you know about 70% of the antibiotics produced in the US go to farm animals? The risk is two-fold. Firstly, those meds end up in the meat and on your plate, and we are not designed to eat medication aimed at animals. The other risk has to do with how bacteria and viruses evolve. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics has resulted in the development of superbugs so strong they pose a greater threat to life than global climate change. In fact, by 2050, over 10 million people a year might die from antibiotic-resistant bugs. We absolutely need to end our reliance on these medications! With clean meat, there are no livestock animals, so no need for antibiotics - and no antibiotic residues in your burger!

Another reason clean meat is better for your health is that, since it's grown in a lab, it doesn't get contaminated by bacteria because it doesn't come into contact with animal intestines or poop. That means no salmonella and no E.coli. Did you know that contaminated meat makes tens of millions of Americans sick every year? This doesn't happen with clean meat.

Better For The Planet

Factory farming is not sustainable - we've known it for decades! It takes 9 calories of food (from grain or grass or soy) to "grow" 1 calorie of meat. So we're throwing away 8 calories of crop to get just 1 consumable calorie. Basically, it's 800% food waste. Think about what it takes to grow the crops to feed livestock: water, pesticides, herbicides, gas and energy to ship the crops to feed mills and to factory farms, to ship the animals to and from slaughter houses. It's no wonder the UN's report Livestock's Long Shadow found that animal agriculture is one of the top 3 contributors to climate change.

End World Hunger

A transition to clean meat could end world poverty and hunger too. Plant-based meat could feed the world. Tens of millions of people die every year from starvation-related causes. Instead of growing crops to feed animals, these crops could be grown to feed the world's poorest.

So clean meat means no waste, no cruelty, no environmental destruction. And it doesn't require anyone to change their habits. It looks like meat, tastes like meat - it IS meat, but grown differently. That's why it's a game changer. And why Bruce and others predict that we'll see a 100% plant-based meat world by 2050 (or sooner!).

Clean Protein - The Book

Bruce has just co-authored a new book with Kathy Freston. Clean Protein - The Revolution that Will Reshape Your Body, Boost Your Energy, And Save Our Planet is a presentation on which clean proteins are best for our health, as well as tips on working out how much protein you need, transitioning to veganism, plant-based shopping, and a ton of tasty recipes. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it's the perfect read for anyone worried about how to stay healthy and vegan during the holidays.

229: Best Tips to Veganize The Most Iconic Italian Dishes With Vegan Chef Leslie Durso Nov 06, 2018

Show notes

Ah, Italy! The pizzas, the pastas, the wine, the gelato…. But what if you're vegan? Well, let's bust a myth right now: it's a total misconception that travelling to Italy if you're vegan, or gluten-free for that matter, is difficult. We're used to the American versions of Italian foods, where it's all about cream and cheese. Truth is, traditional Italian specialties, particularly in the South of Italy, are just about fresh produce done in a healthy way. Real Italian food is a whole other world - and it's super vegan-friendly.

How do we know this? Because we've travelled throughout Italy and sampled the best vegan options! Like our Italian Getaway last year, where we went to the best restaurants Ravello has to offer. Check out Episode 211 to hear what previous guests thought of the experience.

But let's go back to veganizing for a moment. Today is about how can you veganize Italian dishes at home, reduce the calories and make them healthier. Vince, our talented producer for the day (and mixing & mastering engineer) is Italian, but intolerant to dairy. Here are some of Leslie's go-to Italian classics made plant-based.

Vegan Alfredo sauce:

Boil cauliflower in vegetable broth until it's tender.
Place cauliflower, vegetable broth, roasted garlic, nutritional yeast, cashew nuts and caramelized onion in a blender.
Blend until smooth and pour over pasta. Best. Sauce. EVER.

Chicken Milano:

Substitute the cream with a vegan cashew cream: Boil and rinse cashew nuts, drain them, and blend with a little water, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
Substitute the chicken with seitan or breaded & fried zucchini steaks.

Eggplant parmigiana:

Thinly slice eggplant lengthwise, sprinkle on salt and leave for 10 mins.
Pat dry, then pop them into flour and oil to fry.
Make a parmigiana by blending cashew nuts, caramelized onion, roasted garlic, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
Layer the eggplant in an oven dish with tomato sauce, whole basil leaves, and the parmigiana sauce.
Bake until it bubbles. This dish will change your life.

Easy vegan gelato:

Place a couple of frozen bananas with your flavor of choice (cacao, berries, maca, etc.) in a blender.
Blend until it's super smooth and super thick.
Place back in the freezer for an hour or two - this firms it up so you can scoop it.

Alli's super-fast chocolate mousse:

Place avocado, cacao powder, plant mylk, and vegan sugar in your blender.
Blend until smooth.
Leave in the fridge for chocolate mousse or place in the freezer for chocolate ice-cream. The perfect remedy for a sweet tooth.

How to make lemon olive oil:

Peel an organic lemon or orange (just the top layer, without the rind)
Put the peel in the olive oil
Leave it for a few days and voila! Zesty olive oil that's delicious drizzled on salads and soups.

These are just some of the dishes you could learn at our next Italian Getaway. That's right, we're going back to the Amalfi Coast! And we'd love to take you with us! This is not a large tour-bus type holiday - it's an intimate retreat for like-minded women. We will fully immerse ourselves in Italian culture. We'll sample the most exquisite food and wine, go shopping, hiking, and sailing. Leslie will teach you how to make healthy vegan meals so you can bring a taste of Italy back home with you. But that's not all you'll take back - this is a life changing retreat, where you will make connections that will last a lifetime.

Go to www.foodhealsnation.com/italy to find out more. Right now, the price is set, but prices go up in January 2019. If you want to reserve your spot, all you need to do is put down a deposit (it's fully refundable by Jan 2019)! There are only a few spots because we want to keep the group small and intimate. This year's Getaway sold out so fast, so book your spot today!

228: Halloween Special: Ghost Stories and How to Clear Inherited DNA Oct 31, 2018

Show notes

It's Halloween, so what better time to talk about ghosts and why they visit us? Some are our guardian angels. Some are stuck here. Some are malevolent, locked in this dimension by negative patterns. But ghosts aren't the only thing that affect our present.

Many of our core beliefs, emotional traumas and even illness are passed down from our ancestors in our DNA.

Three years ago Roxy had a chance meeting with a clairvoyant who told her there's a curse on the women's side of her family. A curse on love. This made Roxy think about her own relationships. Are curses at play?

Do curses really exist?

According to Lisa, they do. There are different types of beings on the other side of the veil. Some have never had a body or been to earth, and follow the dark side. Some are spirits who have lived on earth before, but who have stayed earthbound - sometimes because of drug addiction, anger, revenge, guilt. Some are assigned as our guardian angels. Others are here because they are trying to teach us something. Some simply don't know how to get back.

Whatever the reason, they can be cleared. Either through an energy clearing, or by accepting the gift they are trying to communicate. You can free yourself from inherited trauma, and help ghosts return to the other side. Lisa Thomas is a world-renown transformational energy healer who specializes in healing ancestral DNA and clearing old patterns. Check out Episode 215 for her story and tips to heal your inherited DNA.

If you want to book a DNA clearing, go to www.foodhealsnation.com/lisa to get on the list. Check out Lisa's website and get your free meditation to Release Inherited Money Blocks, a great tool to unblock your limiting belief about money, clear your energy and prepare your body for healing.

227: Find Your Tribe and Find Your Bliss with Queen of Manifestation Lori Harder Oct 23, 2018

Show notes

Life is more than just about hustle. It's about community. Finding your tribe. The people with keys that open up parts of yourself you never knew were there. Without community, life is empty.

Lori Harder grew up without community - in a small town, in an overweight family who believed they were victims of their genes, home schooled, with no friends outside her religion. She was lonely, repressed and depressed. It was fitness that sent her on the path to health and spiritual awakening. But it was a long journey, full of obstacles.

Despite changing her body, winning competitions, and being successful, Lori still felt miserable. This is something so many of us struggle with. We think we'll be happy when we get that job, lose 10 pounds, get married, buy a house - but if we don't confront and heal the inner stories that run in our mental background, happiness will always be elusive and short-lived.

Lori had to stop and figure out what was blocking her from feeling joy, and what made her feel really good. Suddenly she knew: she wanted something she had never had: community. She wanted to give women somewhere to go, a place to feel accepted and connected. And that's exactly what she's doing.

Host of the Earn Your Happy podcast, founder of the Bliss Project, and author of A Tribe Called Bliss, Lori now helps women to find their tribe, connect with their communities, and manifest their dream life.

Is it possible to manifest your dreams? Yes! By feeling that you've already got it, that your life is already where you want it to be. Create a space every day where you can feel what it would be like. Tap into that feeling as often as you can. The physical manifestation will follow naturally. If you want to delve deeper into this, then check out Earn Your Happy Episode 262.

Her book A Tribe Called Bliss made us laugh, cry, and get chills. It gives you a blueprint to connect with your tribe, and tells the story of how she overcame one of the most traumatic experiences a woman can go through - you'll have to read the book to find out what happened!

If you want to connect with yourself and your tribe, then don't miss Lori's event The Bliss Project on March 1st to 3rd. It will be the best weekend of your life. Come and have fun, experience deep transformation, release old stories, connect with like-minded women, move your body, and celebrate every realm of yourself.

226: The Truth About Healing Cancer and Creating the Life You Want with Tracey Edmonds Oct 16, 2018

Show notes

She's one of the most inspiring businesswomen I know. Tracey Edmonds is an award-winning Hollywood producer, TV presenter and CEO of Edmonds Entertainment Group. And now she's helping people live their dream life through her new website Alright Now.

Sometimes in life, situations happen that make you completely rethink your lifestyle. For Tracey, this moment came when her dad had a quadruple bypass. As he was fighting for his life, she made a vow to get healthy. At the time, she was eating a lot of junk food and was taking prescription meds for digestion issues. These issues disappeared when she changed her diet. From the age of 25, Tracey has been on a journey of discovery about nutrition, fitness and spirituality.

Two years ago, Tracey lost her mum to an aggressive form of cancer called mesothelioma - and at the same time learned a lot about cancer, how it's treated, and how it could be treated. As an outpatient, her mom was having Vitamin C IVs and taking supplements. Her tumors had shrunk by 40%. The second she had to go into hospital full-time, all that had to stop - no Vitamin C transfusions, no supplements, just western-medicine-approved chemotherapy and radiation. Her tumors grew back. She lost the battle against cancer. Just one year later, Tracey's dad died from a heart attack.

Nutrition and alternative healing are hardly talked about in traditional western medicine. Research shows that cancer cells feed on sugar, and yet you'll find candy on display in chemotherapy centers. Evidence proves Vitamin C helps shrink tumors, and yet this is not part of cancer treatment. Most doctors get no more than a few hours nutrition training, how can they offer real advice? Some just see sickness as a business, a way to make money. This is why it's so important that we do our own research.

The loss of both her parents to preventable diseases spurred Tracey on to launch a health & wellness website and make the world a better place. Alright Now was born.

Alright Now is an amazing resource for anyone wanting to learn about healing and how to live their best life. Health, fitness, parenting, career, relationships - it offers you tools to really thrive. Subscribe to the website and you'll get amazing discounts on gym memberships, insurance and even restaurants!

Tracey's big message: don't procrastinate. Don't wait. Do some soul searching: what life do you want for yourself, what steps you do you need to make it happen? Declare it, write it, decide it - the only limits are those you build up in your mind. Declare the life that you want and make it happen.
