Let me ask you some questions:
1. Are you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with trying to uncover the
truth behind which foods and supplements are healthy and beneficial?
2. Are you confused by which diets provide you optimum health? You
hear vegan is the way to go, yet yogurt has health benefits. You read how
salmon is a superfood, but then your best friend tells you it’s full of
mercury. You’re seriously about to crack as you get overloaded with all the
information and “health washing.” You are left confused and find it hard
to stick to anything because your mind is constantly changing. Sound
familiar?
3. As you buy into all the superfoods, supplements and health crazes, can
you not help but ask yourself, “Do I really need this?”
I was once that girl that ate a high protein, low carb and low fat diet. I
then dabbled in food combining, veganism, raw and pretty much every

juice, fish oil, spirulina, chlorophyll – you name it – and I tried it. And then
one day as I was taking my ten different supplements, sipping on my
coconut water and planning my daily meal, I couldn’t help but ask myself,
“Do I really need to be doing all of this?” Along with being ridiculously
expensive and time consuming, it was making me a little mental. I would
spend hours obsessing over what I would and would not eat, wasting
important hours of the day in self-hatred because I caved in to a tub of
yogurt on my newfound vegan diet.
The answer that came to me was this: humans survived just fine
thousands of years ago without all the multi-billion dollar health products.
Like many other people, I had become seduced by savvy multi-million
