Are you ready to stop yo-yo dieting once and for all? Lord knows, it doesn’t work but we get woo-ed by the bright, shiny object syndrome of magic pills and “5 steps to the body you desire” nonsense that’s shoved down our throats especially in these months leading up to summer. Enough. Let’s make a choice to try something different.

My special guest today is author Jovanka Ciares and she’s simplifying how to stop yo-yo dieting and instead, reclaim your wellness. She shares age-old practices from around the world that help us all lead a healthy, happy and beautiful life, regardless of our age, gender, ethnicity, income or social status. So, if you’re tired of bouncing from one doctor’s office to the next and packing on more prescription pills and pounds around the midsection than ever before… Jovanka shares a better way to create your own wellness journey that works specifically for you and your body.

Here’s how. 

My special guest today is author + nutrition educator Jovanka Ciares and she’s simplifying how to stop yo-yo dieting.

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• How she defines what “wellness” is, especially in this day and age when fast food and instant gratification is slowly killing us all
• Have you noticed? Why people of color are rarely represented in the billion-dollar industry of health and wellness and how to make a positive change here
• What are some practical ways we can incorporate more plant-based whole foods into our meals, especially when we’re limited on time
• Why herbs are an important, secret weapon to healing and to a healthy lifestyle - as part of what she calls the Reclaiming Wellness Method
• …and ultimately, when people are ready to stop yo-yo dieting, she talks about the role that music and community plays in all of this.

Q: Are you ready to stop yo-yo dieting? If yes, this one is for you.

It’s time to #DoTheThing
