Foreword
I have listened to, supported, laughed with, and cried with many peoplemostly women in the dressing rooms of my stores. I am a fashion retailer, and Ive been on the sales floor since I was fourteen years old, selling shoes in my family business in New York. Later, my family and I moved to California, where I started elysewalker in 1999. I am known as a fashionista, but the truth is I am a mother, wife, girlfriend, and tomboy (mums the word).
I have struggled with my weight and body image for as long as I can remember. I am not heavy, but I am not skinny. I am naturally a medium. And I know Im not alone in this struggle because I work with women, and now men, every day of the year, dressing them, styling them, and listening to their stories. Whether its hormones, pregnancy, divorce, cancer, menopause, autoimmune disease, wedding celebrations, or bar mitzvahs, I get a little slice of all of my clients lives.
At thirty-five, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that attacks the irises of my eyes. (Remember, the definition of an autoimmune disease is your body wrongfully attacks healthy cells.) For about three years I struggled with daylight and overall light sensitivity, which led to steroids, weight gain, and then methotrexate to help get my body out of attack mode.
By forty I was doing great, searching for ways to create a healthy lifestyle and keep my body in remission. I read every book I could get my hands on and met with more than twenty-eight doctors over the years. I was gluten-free and I had everything under control: weight, eyes, exercise, and work-life balance.
Then, toward the end of my forties, my hormones started slowing down and all my usual tricks were no longer working for me. I felt exhausted and bloated (like five months pregnant). My skin and hair started changing, and not in a good way. While my body was thickening, my hair was thinning. Not a good combo!
I am usually the caregiver and confidante, and I try to be a good role model for everyone on my team, both at work and in my private life. But now I needed help and support. My dads wife, Lynn, and then my dear friend from Columbia University, Rebecca, and her husband, Peter, recognized my struggle and kept pushing me to read Dr Kellyanns Bone Broth Diet. I quickly told them, Dont worry, Ive got this. Im gluten-free, I exercise, I will figure this out. But I didnt. And my struggle grew and grew as my old ways no longer delivered any results. So I read the book.
Once in a while, we all receive gifts. Dr. Kellyann has been a gift given to me by my friends and family. I read her book and started the diet with a group of friends (thank you, Michelle, Michael, Kath, and Deb). Together we built a team and checked in with one another daily. We started having dinner parties, bone brothstyle, using Dr. Kellyanns delicious recipes. I couldnt believe it! My body was responding! I reached out to Dr. Kellyann personally and said I was going to be in New York, and would she like to join me for the Jonathan Simkhai fashion show? We met waiting in line at Spring Studios in Tribeca. She was wearing super-chic winter white, head to toe. And I knew I was going to love her!
