Live Nourished

“Shana has been one of my absolute favorite voices in the anti-diet space for years now! I couldn’t be more thrilled that her book is finally here. I know this book will be a saving grace for so many people struggling to find peace in their relationship with food.” - Victoria Garrick Browne @VictoriaBrowne “Reading Shana’s book was such a joy, the way she articulates these big issues in easily digestible words is a gift to us all. She has done a magnificent job in walking us through why diets suck, but in a way that makes you go ‘aha! this makes total sense.‘ You’re absolutely going to love this book, because health is so nuanced and having a healthy relationship with food is more than just eating the cookie.” -Dalina DeSoto, Founder & Bilingual Dietitian, Nutritiously Yours & Your Latina Nutritionist“In Live Nourished, Spence peels back the layers to examine the intersection between systemic racism, classism and the pursuit of wellness. Readers are encouraged to think about where they fit into dominant structures and identify how they can modify learned hierarchical thinking around food. This book will challenge all of our preconceived notions about health, wellness and the 24 hours that we live each day.“ –Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN registered dietitian nutritionist and author of Eating Our Roots“Shana’s book, Live Nourished, is an invaluable resource for understanding the pitfalls of diet culture and learning how to establish a truly healthy relationship with food.“ —Sohee Carpente, MS, CSCS, *D, founder and head coach of SoheeFit  “The white-dominated wellness industry is well overdue for this conversation! Shana Spence’s book demystifies the convoluted, contradictory, and elitist nature of the industrial wellness complex. Exploring the intersection of wellness, racism, diet culture, and healthism, this book is a no-nonsense approach to help you actually reclaim a joyful relationship with food, movement, and your body. Lived Nourished is refreshing, approachable, and accessible, and quite frankly, a book that all of us need to read.” —Chrissy King, bestselling author of The Body Liberation Project
