New recipes from Tracy to support your intuitive diet health.

Food isn’t just part of the human experience. Without it is the removal of life itself. So food is not only a love language,
it’s a life-giving language. Self-love is best at practice when we feed ourselves with respect, move our bodies with
dedication, rest our bodies in calm, and treat each life with the compassion it deserves.

I love bringing forward a lot of options for you to listen to your body with. Every one of you is in a unique moment
in time. The amount of calories or energy you can afford to take in each day to fuel yourself and create balance for
yourself must ultimately be determined by a lot of factors that you need to understand how to equate. When you eat
from the pages of any issue of our magazine, I know that you’re getting nutrient-dense foods that are made from my
kitchen to yours with love.
In these pages, pick and choose what sounds good to you when. I do believe that in the morning you should ease your
system into digestion. Perhaps go for one of the juice recipes in this issue at the first signal of hunger. One of the most
unhealthy practices we ever evolved into is the practice of overconsumption. If you feel like you’ve reached a place
where you’re concerned for your health because you have unhealthy weight on you, then tune into that built-in alert.
Don’t let your emotional self silence that intuition for a second. Our emotional self doesn’t like change that requires
work, and it wants change fast when it’s uncomfortable. It’s also what makes us delight in all life’s joy and feels all life’s
sorrow, so we can’t blame it for being stubborn at times. I personally will only tell people what to eat when it’s to help
guide them out of a crisis, but as a rule I like for you to learn to listen for your healthiest self. What sounds good to
you? Will you go out and get it or make it?
This issue is about making a comeback. The strongest comebacks are self-owned and not borrowed by design. So dive
in! It’s all healthy here. The only way you can go wrong is by mistaking a fresh-squeezed juice for a piña colada!
