Let Me Introduce Myself

I'm Liana, a bilingual speech therapist based in Austin, Texas who has a passion for health and wellness while living life to the fullest. I am 200-hr certified yoga instructor, plant eater, world traveler, and lover of all food and fitness. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2017, drastically affecting the way I see food and how I cook. Through my own research, endless doctors visits, medical procedures, experimenting in the kitchen, and adjusting my own diet, I have learned the healing powers whole foods have on the body. In my eyes, food is earth grown medicine given to us for FREE thanks to Mama Earth. Our planet is a beautiful place and has inspired the way I live, eat, breathe, and move. I would love to share some of my favorite plant based medicines with you in this book.

Through mindful, intuitive, and intentional eating, you can begin to nourish your body from the inside out. When you have a healthy gut, you create a healthy environment for everything else; you nurture your mind, your thoughts, behaviors, relationships, and even your genetic makeup. Finding harmony between your mind-gut connection is a powerful tool. I don't believe in diets, fads, or one specific way of eating or living. I do, however, believe in HARMONY in everything; know what serves you best and listen to your body. And lastly, knowledge is a powerful tool, so maybe by sharing my favorite foods, I can also help you live a balanced lifestyle. Holistic healing truly can be easy and delicious once you know where to start.

So let's get started and eat!
