When it comes to beauty, Im a firm believer that it starts from the inside out. For me, its simple: Your health shows on your face. If you take care of yourselfby eating the healthiest foods possible, drinking a ton of water, and moving your body every dayit shows. You look good and you feel good. Youre comfortable and confident in your own skin.

But I also know that life happens. There are times of stress, travel, late nights, and fluctuating hormones when you may not look or feel your best. I understand because it happens to me all the time. This is why the right skincare and makeup can be confidence-savers. My approach to beauty on the outside has always been centered on healthy skin and a natural glow.

Everyones journey to health, wellness, and beauty is different. Thats why I wrote this book with a little help from my friendsto offer the inspiration, products, and tips that will help you be the best version of yourself from the inside out.

The link between beauty and food wasnt something I always understood. I was a health nut in the 80s and 90s. I collected a library of fad diet books and was convinced that each one had the answer to good health and the perfect body. There was the Beverly Hills Diet (fruit only before noon), Pritikin (no fat and lots of whole grains), Scarsdale (lots of steak and eggs), and then Atkins (tons of high-fat foods like meat, bacon, and cheese, but not a lot of fruits or vegetables). My goal was to lose weight and lose it quickly. But losing pounds by eating unhealthy foods didnt work and didnt make me feel good.

I began to make the connection that the foods I was eating were making me feel slow and tired. After a bagel my energy would crash. I stopped eating cookies, bread, and pasta and immediately felt better. I started paying attention. I noticed I felt great when I drank a lot of water, so I started to count my glasses and tried to drink at least eight per day. I felt better when I ate fruits that were not too sweet. The fresher and more simply prepared the produce, the better my digestion. I started eating my veggies steamed and drizzled with good olive oil. Soon I had more energy and better focus, my skin looked healthier, and my eyes were clearer. I was on to something.

I ditched the weight loss books and began to read about health and wellness, discovering doctors, chiropractors, and nutritionists who practiced whole-body health. Since then, Ive shifted my lifestyle, paying closer attention to what goes into my body. For eating out, Im excited by cool restaurants that serve real local foods. At home, I can whip up a simple, fast meal using nutritious ingredients thats robust enough to feed a family of boys. Health food is life foodand ultimately beauty food.

The cornerstone of beauty foods are fresh vegetables and fruits that provide your fuel, good fats like omega-3s for skin and health, and lean proteins that provide energy. By eating a diet balanced in these types of nutrient-rich foods most of the time, you will feel and look better.
