Holistic Nutrition Educator · West Palm Beach

Thirty years of dieting made me heavier. Quitting set me free.

I started dieting at 180 pounds. The diets carried me to 350. At 61 I quit for good and started over, and today, at 65, I'm 215 pounds lighter. No starving. No tricks. If you're between 45 and 70 and every diet has failed you, it was never you.

My whole life, in three numbers
180lbs

The day the first diet started.

350lbs

Where thirty years of dieting left me.

135lbs

Where I am today, four years after quitting.

215 pounds gone. Real food did that.

You didn't fail all those diets. They failed you. A starved body holds on for dear life. Mine held on for thirty years. Then I fed it real, living food and it finally let go.

The real proof

The scale was never the whole story.

  • Symptom-free from type 2 diabetes
  • Symptom-free from emphysema
  • My heart is strong
  • My body is strong

These are me. Not perfect. After losing 215 pounds, you have skin. Yes, it bothers me, and it never ruins my day. Stay tuned for my journey to have all of it removed. Join me on YouTube.

The framework

Body. Mind. Spirit.

01 · BODY

Eat more, weigh less

Whole, living food. Mostly plants and a lot of them raw. You'll eat more than you eat now and carry less. I'll show you exactly what a day looks like.

02 · MIND

The war ends here

No more starting over every Monday. No more earning your dinner. You learn to be on your own side, maybe for the first time.

03 · SPIRIT

You were never broken

When you stop fighting your body, it remembers what to do. That part still amazes me. Four years in, it hasn't stopped.

The Healing Juice Connection

38 juice recipes I reach for all the time, straight from my own kitchen. Juicing was one piece of how I lost the weight, right beside whole, real food. Some heal. Some just taste like summer.

A warning, with love

This is not a diet. There are no points here and no pills. Nobody gets punished for eating. If you're hunting for another 30-day miracle, I'm not your person. If you're done starving and ready to be fed, welcome home.
