Joyful Healing Happens in Community

Wanna Join Me April 20th?

Aloha Reader!

Can I share something personal with you today?

I want to tell you about a woman I met over 20 years ago in Springfield, Missouri. Her name is Tess Masters — you may know her as The Blender Girl from my past emails. She has millions of followers, has sold over 200,000 cookbooks, and has helped over 30,000 people transform their health.

But when I met her, long before all of that, I just knew she was the real deal. Her integrity, her heart, her passion for helping people feel better in their bodies — it

was obvious from the very beginning. We became dear friends.

And for 20 years… I never did any of her programs.

Not because I didn't believe in them. I absolutely did. I just wasn't ready.

Then 2022 came. My body was struggling on every front — my

gut, my energy, my Crohns. I had been battling crohns/colitis for years and I was exhausted from trying to figure it all out on my own. Something shifted in me. I finally said yes.

I joined Tess's Skinny60 60-Day Reset not really knowing what I was getting into — only knowing that I trusted her. And that was enough.

What happened over those 60 days changed everything.

Tess and her team of dietitians didn't just give me a meal plan and send me on my way. They got to know me — my health history, my lifestyle, my struggles. They helped me understand how to listen to my body. How to read its signals. How to understand what it needed at every stage.

I did the program for a full year. And I am so grateful I did — because everything she taught me became the foundation I would desperately need later.

​

Fast forward to today. Last year was the hardest year of my life. A 12-day hospitalization. A completely different dietary protocol with a dietitian. And

then in October, my body started aching — muscles, joints, everything. After four months of investigation I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

The information overload that came with that diagnosis almost broke me. The low-histamine diet is the complete opposite of everything I had been doing. No leftovers over 24 hours. So many of my favorite foods on the "not right now" list. I thought I was doing it right — until a friend who had survived MCAS after three years of struggle told me I wasn't.

I had to start over and really learn it.

But here is the thing — I knew what to do. Because Tess taught me how to listen to my body. That gift has carried me through every single health challenge since.

And now? I know I need community again. I need accountability. I need to come back to what works.

In my next email I am going to tell you exactly why I am returning to Skinny60 — and why I think it might be exactly what you need too.

Stay tuned. There is so much more to share.

P.S. Are you struggling with your gut, your energy, your sleep, or inflammation? Hit reply and tell me what's going on. I read every single one. I truly want to know how you are doing.

Here are some recipes for you to play with from Tess. Your taste buds will burst with joy. Healing CAN be joyful and decilious. In fact it is a must according to Tess.

LUNCH AND DINNER

​Vegan Caesar - NOBODY will know this is a vegan versio

n. You'll want to lick the dressing right out of the blender. People go absolutely nuts for this. For vegans, add some grilled Pumfu or tofu for extra protein. If you eat animal protein, add chicken, bacon, or eggs.

​Arugula Salad with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette - This is the salad you make when you want to wow people. Serve with any grilled plant or animal protein for a stunning meal with very little fuss. (The dressing....the dressing...th

e dressing. You'll want to smother everything in sight.)

​Lemon Asparagus Risotto - This is fresh and light with a delightful fresh flavor. It is delicious without cheese. But, add some shaved parmesan, if you like.

​Mushroom Stroganoff - Still one of my go-to one-pot dishes to wow people. This is one of those dishes where you MMMM your delight with every bite.

DESSERT

I'm only giving you one option, because I want this cake to be in your life.
I get SO many emails about this cake.

​Lemon Cake - The easiest cake on the planet. Just through everything into the blender, pour into a springform tin, and bake. If you want to look

like a gourmet chef in 15 minutes, this is the cake you make. It also freezes really well. (NOTE: You must use the full 4 cups of almond flour for this cake to work.)
