From Surviving to Thriving

Everyone deserves to know the truth...whether it's about the value of avocado oil (good fat is good for you!) or the true impact of too much processed food.Forget the fad diets and unhealthy weight-loss products being pushed by influencers and media personalities. Rather than trusting a trendy diet to change things, this book encourages you to make a series of gradual changes to your lifestyle.First leading the reader through an understanding of what all the different foods do to the body and why, then putting them all together in delicious recipes that you'll look forward to eating and drinking, author Lotus Ellis boils it all down to create a blueprint that cuts through the misinformation and reduces the overwhelm that comes with making healthy changes to your lifestyle and mindset.Threaded through with powerful stories and real-life case studies from some amazing people who have created their own vitality story using the guidance offered in this book, From Surviving to Thriving proves that a long and healthy life is in the hands of each and every one of us.With a career in nutrition, wellness and fitness spanning two decades, Lotus has come to believe that living a healthy and happy life means taking a holistic approach to wellness in order to lower inflammation and boost the immune system. Living in Costa Rica and witnessing how the Blue Zone centenarians live and what they eat has inspired a book to help people go from surviving to thriving by making minor lifestyle changes that will promote vitality and longevity.
