What does ‘healthy’ mean to you?
A low-fat, whole foods, plant-based diet in combination with laughter, an active lifestyle, and happiness.
What are your specific reasons for wanting to stay healthy?
I had a serious health scare in my early 20s; that was my wake up call. I needed to make a change, and I did.
What is a simple healthy habit that you practice every day?
Laughter.
How do you handle ‘cravings’ – or those challenging moments when you don’t feel like making a healthy choice?
I don’t really have cravings, at least not for unhealthy foods. I will salivate at the thought of kale. I think once I made up my mind that those other”foods” were not healthy – that they were poison – I no longer had a desire to eat them. I always tell people, it’s not that you can’t have something, it’s that you’re choosing not to. That’s a very powerful mindset.
Name one ‘health’ food that you used to think was weird – but now you love it!
Kale, kale, kale. I love kale!
