It's time for the WELLNESS REALNESS RETREAT 2019! This year's retreat will be in sunny San Diego, CA from July 26th-July 28th. The weekend will be filled with health and body image workshops, delicious food, nutrient drips, acupuncture, Reiki, hiking, yoga, and more. You can find more information and get your tickets at bit.ly/wellnessrealness2019! Today I'm chatting with Cassy Joy Garcia! Cassy is the Editor in Chief behind the popular food and wellness website, fedandfit.com, the author of two cookbooks, the best-selling self-titled "Fed & Fit" book and her newest resource, "Cook Once, Eat All Week: 26 Weeks of Gluten-Free, Affordable Meal Prep to Preserve Your Time & Sanity." She is a Certified Nutrition Consultant, the creator of The Fed & Fit Project, and the voice behind the weekly mindset-focused Fed & Fit Podcast. In this episode, Cassy shares more about why she started Fed & Fit, her journey of ditching dieting for good, and how journaling can help you learn how to eat intuitively. We talk about the importance of enjoying your exercise routine, why Cassy loves her Beautycounter business, and her experience being a new mom. Cassy talks about how she balances being a mom with work, dealing with mom guilt, asking for help, and how her body image has changed after having a daughter. We also discuss her new book, Cook Once, Eat all Week, and her top tips for making healthy meals easier during the week!

Almond Cow is the answer for anyone who loves plant-based milk, but not the mysterious ingredients in store-bought kinds or the hassle of making it themselves. Nut milk from the store is overpriced, generates a lot of plastic waste, and filled with questionable ingredients, so Almond Cow created a machine that makes plant-based milk simple, fun, and effortless. All you do is add nuts and filtered water into the machine, and you have homemade nut milk in less than a minute. You can get your Almond Cow machine at bit.ly/almondcowchristina and use the code "CHRISTINA" for $15 off your machine! Want in on all of the health benefits of mushrooms?!
