On to the topic of discussion I opened with in today's Juice for the Journey newsletter subject line. If we have known each other for any length of time - it doesn't take much, even if you've just joined this newsletter community and taken a peek at the Blog - you know that I am clearly going on a 'd*iet".

Over twenty years ago, burned out on fluctuating weight, food regimens, and being at odds with my weight and body, I let go of all of it in the interests of finding my naturally healthy body and a healthy, happy relationship with food, eating, and my body. By combining whole foods plant-based nutrition with a mindfulness practice, that is exactly what happened.  I dive into this all in much more depth in The Mindful Vegan, my new book being released later this year. For now, something has come along that caught my attention.

Living La Vida Vegan Online Event

Stephanie Hutchinson is passionate about this topic - so it's not surprising that she reached out to me to be part of this no-cost online event taking place soon, with sign-ups underway now.

Stephanie told me that food used to control her life - meals were stressful and never about the pleasure of savoring food, enjoying mealtimes with loved ones, or nourishing her body.

Her food was not ‘healthy’ enough, her body was never ‘lean’ enough, and she
constantly was defeated by the strict d*iet she put herself on. 

Committed to mending her destructive relationship with food and finding a
greater love for her body, Stephanie adopted a plant-based lifestyle. From there, she realized how many animal lives she was saving from immense suffrage and a grueling death.

Next, she was thrilled to discover that she was lessening her impact on the environment. Most importantly. She learned that she was setting herself up to live a long, vibrant life with reduced risk of disease and illness. Plus, in Stephanie's words, she "felt great in her own skin... FINALLY!"

I’m sharing Stephanie’s story because it’s one that so many of us can relate to.
And she is a on a mission to help you ditch the diets, eat in abundance, and have
your healthiest body yet.

Stephanie invited me, along with top doctors, researchers, renowned chefs, best-
selling authors, champion bodybuilders, and more for the ‘Living La Vida Vegan’
online interview series.

you'll hear their best strategies, tips, and secrets to create the life, the
body, and the health you have always desired. And because you’re in my
community, I wanted to extend an invitation for you to attend at no cost.

Here’s the link 

On this interview series, you are going to discover how to:

 Stick to one lifestyle that will help you naturally increase your
energy, and bring youthfulness back to your body

 Form a healthy relationship with food and connect with a deeper meaning
behind the food choices you make

 Easily create delicious, plant-based meals you’ll love

 Prevent disease and illness with fewer trips to the doctor’s office

 Create a harmonious, purposeful life that supports animal lives and the
health of our planet

 Eat intuitively and sensibly to fuel your body with optimal nutrition

A plant-based lifestyle  is truly centered around an abundance of foods that many have never even explored before. Vegan nutrition offers people the chance to dip deeper into the abundance, variety, and experiences that life offers us, and a chance for us to connect deeper with who we are, and the impact we are making on the world.

Living La Vida Vegan is about showing how enjoyable this choice can be.

My wish for you is when you join us, you’ll look back on this as a pivotal moment
in changing your health and your life.
