Welcome 2008!

2007 was a fantastic year for me and I hope it was for you as well. I've been busy from publishing my new book "21 Pounds in 21 Days" and making the NY Times Best Seller List, to the interviews and television appearances on "The View" and CNN. I loved working with people like Robin Quivers and seeing them get healthy. Detoxing and dieting is secondary to long-term health. I believe the body can heal itself when you give it the nutrients that it is starving for.

In addition to helping Robin Quivers and Jamie Foster Brown become healthier, I worked with Brown's husband, Lorenzo, and HIV-positive former New York Giants and Washington Redskins player, Roy "Sugar Bear" Simmons with amazing results

Detoxing and eating well is more about your health than losing weight—of course losing the pounds you need to will give you more energy and making you feel good about yourself is one of the perks! Our bodies require the nutrition and cleansing necessary to maintain our energy levels so we can accomplish our dreams.

I believe my story is one of many stories that are really a part of a whole book of rising illnesses around the globe: rising cancer rates, rising rates of birth defects, 30 million infertile couples, 5 million kids with asthma, and the explosion of obesity and toxicity in our children. Each year 3,000 new chemicals are dumped into our food supply and our environment. The health of the local population is no longer the concern of our government, nor are the doctors and hospitals able to solve this crisis. We have to look within ourselves for the causes of our own illness and for the cures. We need to educate ourselves, in order to know what the body needs. We are in charge of our own health and responsible for our own wellness.

So here’s what you should think about as you begin this New Year:

Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.

When you wake up tomorrow say to your body, "Body, what can I do for you today? How can I help you do your job better?" Your body will always say, "Feed me high power nutrients, clean water and oxygen; and most of all love me." Self-love starts the search for wellness.
