Health Is Wealth
For those of you who are foodies like me, I thought I’d entice you with these beautiful photos of real food we make in our kitchen.
With everything that’s going on in the world, and by virtue of our relationships with ourselves and others in our personal and professional lives, I’m here to share something that I’ve found (you can call me a Boost Camp Enthusiast, if you’d like).
Short story, for background and context (maybe you can relate)… We are foodies. We love to eat, and we also love to cook. My husband Corey and I had a solid year of “eating our feelings” in 2020. All the freshly-baked sourdough bread, rich and sugary treats…feed those feelings!
That was on top of an already indulgent lifestyle, living in the California Wine Country (Sonoma Valley). Corey was born and raised in Napa. We met there and got married, then moved to Sonoma many years later, so 2020 was the overindulgent straw that broke our backs and nearly did us in, health wise.
For decades, both of us carried extra weight on our bodies, physically. If you have read my book, “Out Of Love: A Daughter’s Journey With Her Mom To The End”, you may remember that I also carried the weight of the world on my shoulders, metaphysically.
We went from surviving to thriving…
In January, 2021, we had some wake-up calls, after chronic sinus infections for me, sleep apnea for him, and I was also pre-diabetic, and couldn’t move the way we wanted. Not ok!
Enter a long-time friend, Bridget Foliaki-Davis, who had become a Functional Nutritionist (we met online and then in person years later, in Sydney, Australia, where this amazing soul lives and works). Bridget created a 28-Day Boost Camp, and ever since we started in 2021, we have realize the old adage is true for us: Health Is Wealth.
👋🏼Goodbye dieting (I had released and regained 50+ lbs over many years on all sorts of diets. You name it, I tried it, with no lasting results)
👋🏼Goodbye breathing machine for Corey (Cpap - I felt like I was sleeping with Darth Vadar)
👋🏼Goodbye sinus infections, even when triggered by summer heat
👋🏼Goodbye swollen ankles and puffed-up faces and bodies in general, especially when triggered by summer heat (no more edema)
🩸“You’ve cured yourself!”, said my M.D. after my blood work showed I was no longer pre-diabetic AND all my other levels (hormone and otherwise) were in perfect range. She said “you’re as far away from diabetes as you could be”.
What’s possible for you
when you are ready to act on Health Is Wealth?
What kinds of “wins” would make it worth learning to cook new recipes that are gut-healthy and anti-inflammatory?
Note: I have a small issue with before & after photos, so I’m only posting these to depict what people can see on the outside, and there are many more non-scale victories (NSVs). I released 60 lbs and Corey, 40. The best part is that we’ve maintained it since 2021.
Bottom line: we now live the Boost Camp lifestyle, and we have been sharing it with our friends and family for all these years.
Today, I am officially a BHK Ambassador, and so proud to continue shouting out this game-changing healthy lifestyle to everyone we know. We are here to recommend it and now we get to benefit from our ongoing referrals, without any additional cost to you. And - it’s a screamin’ deal for what Bridget provides.
