The Follow Your Gut blog chronicles my experience in gut and brain health under the guidance of Alberto Villoldo’s book, Grow a New Body.

If you follow your gut, the way I do - for direction, energy reading and decision-making- then it should be as healthy as possible.

Start at the bottom if you want to “start at the very beginning… a very good place to start….” love, Janet

Intention

I love thinking about food as a spiritual practice. And it is.

a Sacred Act

“Growing a New Body” - with Alberto Villoldo’s book, is a sacred act. My tummy is where I held my fear - ever since I was a little girl - it’s time to nourish it back to health.

Ascending the Sugar-free Mountain

I have been successful in eating well in the past, but after the launch of my memoir - the witch (who I thought I had lost for good) stepped out of the forest, offering me sweets - coaxing me into her house made of candy - for relief - and I followed. I thought I would stay for a day or two - but had trouble finding the door. And now, a few months later, I’m ready to push the sugary witch into the oven - for the last time.
