Review by Marlene Engel
Although this is a book about
nutrition, it’s Jennifer’s story that really is the star of the book. Her childhood was anything but typical. The daughter of a pedophile father and a
mother who passed at a young age from cancer, at times she was forced to steal
food if she wanted to eat. Much of her
young life she lived off of scraps and junk food. Despite her deprived upbringing, she learned
that by simply changing what you put into your body, you could change how you
feel not only physically, but emotionally.
This led her into the field of nutrition and opening up her own practice
called Passionate Nutrition.
It’s almost daily that you hear about
a new diet craze claiming that if you eat this or eliminate that then you are
guaranteed optimum health. I don’t know
about you, but when it comes to restricting my diet, I find that I never
achieve the results that I set out to.
With Jennifer’s approach, she actually encourages abundant eating. Which, for me, is very doable! She goes on to explain The Healthy Trinity,
which is digestion, balance and whole foods and when unbalanced the body as a
whole is affected.
In this book, the author offers
healthy ways to lose weight with recipes to encourage health and
liveliness. It’s not your mother’s
typical cookbook, but instead shows the author’s journey from starvation to
optimum health of both body and soul.
Her inspirational story is both heartbreaking and uplifting at the same
time. It’s a true testament that it’s
not about where you’re at, but where you’re going in life that truly shapes who
you are.
