You probably remember that I released my book, "Food Heals: Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Stories to Nourish Your Soul and Transform Your Health" back in December 2019. It was an anthology filled with inspiring healing stories from amazing people, designed to show readers how our bodies can heal themselves when provided with the right tools. The plan was to kick off a book tour in March 2020 to connect with all of you, but as you can guess, fate had other plans. Just after my first book signing in Orlando, the world went into lockdown mode, and my entire book tour was canceled. It was heartbreaking, but I refused to let that be the end of the journey for "Food Heals"

"Food Heals" is more than just a book to me. It's a passion project that resonates with my belief in the incredible power of healing through food. The book contains a collection of heartfelt stories that speak to the core of the human experience. Just like the beloved "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, "Food Heals" touches upon the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, reminding us all that we are capable of remarkable healing. "Chicken Soup for the Vegan Soul" if you will ;)

The pandemic threw a major curveball my way, and it felt like "Food Heals" didn't get the attention and promotion it deserved. But instead of dwelling on the disappointment, I decided to explore new ways to share the book's powerful message. That's when the idea of creating an audio version for Audible struck me, and I couldn't be more excited about it!

Recording and editing the audio version of "Food Heals" has been an amazing journey. As I delve into each story, I feel a renewed sense of connection with the healing power they hold. I wanted to share this experience with all of you, Food Heals Nation, in the most intimate way possible. So, I decided to release each story free for you on The Food Heals Podcast.

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for me, recording and reliving each narrative, but it fills me with immense joy to do it. Every story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the miraculous healing that can occur when we nourish our bodies with the right tools.

In this first "book club episode, I will read Chapters 1-4 of the book:
