How She Really Does It

You can have what you want. Really.

After traveling in the Himalayas for 11 years, living in monasteries and doing retreat in a cave, Lisa Reinhardt thought she came back to the US to share what she'd learned about meditation. After an a-ha moment eating chocolate, however, things got really interesting.

Now, as founder of Wei of Chocolate, Lisa delights in giving people permission to eat chocolate every day without guilt. Having compiled reams of research and distilled what exactly differentiates healthy chocolate from run-of-the-mill candy, she believes that a daily piece of chocolate can be not only a path to health & wellness, but a way to bring the benefits of meditation effortlessly into our modern, busy lifestyle.

When she's not pouring over the latest research on the health benefits of cacao, you can find her traveling to far off places.

"Loving your food."
