You Only Live Once

Take Mae West's advice and do it right. You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

You Only Live Once

Are you living your best life? Making healthy choices? Not only should you have fun in life, but staying healthy is critical to a long life. American actress Mae West, who lived to be 87 years old, knew what she was talking about. She was brilliant, took care of herself, and lived an amazing life.

Is Once Enough?

I admit, there have been times when I haven't lived my best life or taken good care of myself. In fact, I used to be overweight. I tried diet after diet, but they simply didn't work for me. Then I discovered I was eating foods my body couldn't tolerate. I can tell you it ain't just the diet that made me hold onto all those extra pounds. I couldn't keep weight off for love nor money. When I stopped eating the foods that caused my food sensitivities and seasonal allergies, I lost more than 40 pounds. The weight just slipped off and stayed off. How did I do it?

It Ain't Just The Diet

I tell you my story, explain exactly how to test yourself for food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances, and give you the tools to do it in my book, It Ain't Just the Diet Food Journal | A Daily Guide to Finding & Managing Your Food Allergies, available on Amazon.

Nourish Your Body & Soul

I encourage you to care of yourself by eating satisfying, nourishing food that is good for your body and makes you feel healthy. Protect your spirit by living authentically, moving your body, and taking time to replenish and rest.
