Foods For Your Life by Julia Hidy

“We’ve already eaten enough things that steal our own health and energy from ourselves.  It’s time to now ALWAYS include ingredients so what we eat will make us smile AND keep us healthy too.”

Foods for Your Life is based on Julia Hidy’s personal experiences, her private consulting practice, and two decades of research.  She hopes her insights will help readers looking for recipes that are as tasty as they are healing.

Julia has used many of these recipes and ideas to improve her energy levels, health and her quality of life.  She believes that educating and sharing ideas about how to use food to heal will be a key to unlocking and having a greater quality of life as we all age.

“I decided to be healthy, active and to stay that way for as many years as I could.  I’ll share which foods give me energy and make me happy when I eat them.  And those foods that are best left in the naughty files.  Or that are just used rarely.”

Julia’s Bio

Julia first experimented with combining products from health food stores with gourmet ingredients and recipes in the mid-1980′s when she felt arthritis settle into her hands and feet.  Her dietary changes  proved to her that the foods she ate (or avoided) could keep gout and arthritis from attacking her joints.

When Julia was diagnosed with three Chronic Fatigue Syndrome viruses and Fibromyalgia in 1992, three M.D.’s told her she’d never get her normal energy levels back.  She already knew the healing power of foods, herbs and spices and her dietary changes helped her return to a ‘normal,’ productive life.

Then, Julia was told she would have to have major surgery and chemotherapy to treat a rare, deadly form of cancer.  Six doctors at three hospitals told her if she didn’t have the surgery that she’d be dead in two years.  She decided to “keep her parts” and not have the surgery.  That was in 2003.  Her natural healing approach included diet.  Within three months, her MRI came back clear.  She’s never looked back!

Julia Hidy is the author of Energy for Your Life:  The Essential Guide (www.energyforyourlife.com) and the Instant Energy for Your Life audio book and positive energy re-training programs .  She has consulted with new mom’s to global CEO’s on how food can improve their health and lives.  Her articles have been published in Vitality, Spa Life, RISNews, and Logistics Today.  She’s been the senior media contact or  consultant to three billionaires, many CEO’s and private owners of companies in the technology, banking, real estate and consumer goods’ sectors.

Julia loves to eat, entertain and talk about food.  She likes to turn otherwise artery clogging, cholesterol-promoting, inflammation-causing recipes into meals that nourish, heal and make our lives as healthy as they are wonderful.
