I did it! My Book is out today! Thank you!

Thank You! Thank you for reading this blog over the years and supporting me with my new passion for inspiring health.  Without YOU and this blog I would not be the author of an alkaline book.  Honestly, it just wouldn’t have happened.  But because it has I can now check this off my bucket list!  It’s been a dream of mine ever since I succeeded in healing my bulging disc with an alkaline lifestyle to share with the world just exactly how I did it!

To celebrate, my publisher Penguin Random House of Canada and I have 3 books to give away, yippee! Keep reading for the details:)

When you get a chance to flip thru and read my book you will quickly see that I created it in away that would make you really want to embrace an alkaline lifestyle because it’s so darned pretty and with all the wonderful recipes it is also going to be a tasty journey!  But most of all I wanted it to be as simple as possible.  So I created a 4 step program to help you choose how and where in your journey to begin alkalizing your lifestyle.

In the Inspire Stage you can gently lean into the lifestyle by adding most any recipe from the book to your daily routine.  This will slowly crowd out some of the less desirable acidic foods. In this stage you gentle begin to balance your plate and slowly release acidity from the body.

In the Desire Stage you can decide to dive right into a juice feast to jump start your alkaline journey which is what I did because I was in serious pain with my bulging disc.  In this stage you are being more aggressive in releasing the acids by flushing with volumes of alkaline fluids.

In the Aspire Stage you will continue from the juice feast or enter here if you decide you want to dig deep and begin with a 90-95% ratio of alkalizine solid foods because you may not be ready for a juice feast.  You could always do the juice feast later.  In this stage you are further alkalizing to further excavate acids from deeper within your tissues.

And lastly in the Acquire Stage you will settle in with a 75% alkaline foods to 25% acidic foods as a daily lifestyle and enjoy the recipes to create a balanced plate for each of your meals.  In this stage you are living a sustainable alkaline lifestyle and are pretty much free from your symptoms of ill health.

These are guides that provide lots of flexibility for you as you navigate a lifestyle shift for a more alkaline body and a healthy vibrant YOU!

You will also find a wonderful alkaline food chart in the book that will help you with your food choices. But really…the most important thing to remember is to add greens to each meal of the day. It’s as simple as remembering this which equates to perhaps a green juice or green smoothie or even greens powders added to your breakfast. And for lunch, add a nice big salad. For dinner just add another salad as well as some warmed vegetables and you will be alkalizing your lifestyle while crowding out some of the acidic foods that used to be on your plate!

This below is a bonus chart from the book that will show you just what a typical day is like for a juice feast.  It’s the best thing that I ever did for my health and I still engage in juice feasts a few times a year because I love them and I love how I feel afterwards.  Feel free to pin this to Pinterest with the button at the bottom of the post so you have it for handy reference or share it with a friend or you can print it out and post it on your fridge for when you are ready to dive in!

If you choose to buy the book I would love to hear your thoughts and how you plan to use it to reclaim your optimal well being.  I’d also be thrilled to hear how you like the recipes and if you have favourites or if you make modifications for you and your family.  I created this book for YOU and I really hope you are as excited to use it as I imagined you’d be!

Now, if you keep an eye out on my Instagram for updates on my book launch tour you’ll also see tips and recipes for delicious alkaline food.  I’ll also be posting to Facebook if that’s where you are sometimes too!
