Are You Eating Like This? - The Top Food Tips to Transform Your Health

Let’s Talk, Sis

1. Eat to Energize, Not Just to Fill Up. Say goodbye to that 3 p.m. slump. Real food = real energy. Think greens, grains, and good fats.

2. Add Before You Subtract. Before cutting everything out, add more color—berries, leafy greens, sweet potatoes. The more color, the more power.


3. Hydration is Queen Behavior. Water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and smoothies will have your skin glowing and joints singing “thank you!”


4. Gut Check, Baby. Your gut is your second brain. Add fermented foods (like kimchi or sauerkraut), plant-based fiber, and maybe a little probiotic love.


5. Read Those Labels Like a Boss  If you can’t pronounce it, your body probably can’t process it. Keep it simple and whole.


Healthy Recipe Drop  Queen’s Glow Bowl: Quinoa, roasted chickpeas, kale, avocado, tahini drizzle. Easy, plant-powered, and oh-so-satisfying.

Let’s Make Summer a Full-Body YES

Sis, this summer, we’re not halfway living. We’re saying YES with our whole body.

πŸ‘Ÿ Move Like You Mean It

And if you’re lookin’ for a tribe to walk with? I got you. Join me for the Wellness Walk & Talk sessions this summer. We walk, we talk, we glow all the way through it.

πŸ’₯ Summer 2025 = The Big YES

This summer ain’t playing’ with us—and guess what? We ain’t playing’ with it either. We’re walking’ into this season with power, peace, and purpose. This summer? It’s a full-body YES from head to toe.

πŸ₯¬ Eat Like a Queen

We’re not just eating to get by. We’re eating to feel alive.

Your plate? That’s your throne. Stack it high with greens, fruit, flavor, and love. Smoothies, fresh meals, all that good stuff makes your body say “thank you.”

πŸ›‘ Rest Like a Boss

Look—rest is not lazy. Rest is necessary. Close the laptop, silence your phone, sip some tea, and breathe. Ain’t no guilt in recharging. That’s how queens stay strong.

We're not sitting still and letting life pass us by. Every step we take is a power move. Our therapy is our morning walks, dance breaks, and stretching under the sun.

We say YES to:

  • Moving our bodies because we love ‘em

  • Fueling ourselves with food that loves us back

  • Making time for joy, not just work

  • Taking up space, living out loud, and shining with no dimmer switch

I’ll be out here with my sneakers on, smoothie in hand, rockin’ this life like it’s golden. Find me on IG at @terishealthyways and let’s do this.

Let’s make Summer 2025 loud, proud, and YES.

5 Things I’m Leaving Behind as I Step Into Natural Health Immersion 2025 (+ A Challenge for You, Sis!)



Sister to Sister,

Can you believe we’ve closed out the first quarter of the year?

Whew! Time is moving—but so are we. And I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling the call to reset, realign, and go even deeper into what it means to take care of this one beautiful body I’ve been given.

That’s why I’ve been focused on Natural Health Immersion 2025—my personal journey toward wholeness. It’s not about perfection, it’s about being present. Nourished. Clear. Energized.

But to step into all that, I had to release a few things:

1. Mental Clutter
No more carrying stress that doesn’t belong to me. I’m protecting my peace and choosing stillness when I need it.

2. Processed Everything
I’m going back to basics. Whole foods, vibrant juices, and smoothies that make my cells say “thank you.”

3. Downplaying My Needs
It’s not selfish to put my health first. It’s wise. And overdue.

4. Sedentary Days
Our bodies were made to move. Walking, dancing, stretching—I’m saying yes to all of it.   I really love Latin dancing.  Anyone else?

5. Guilt for Choosing Me
Choosing myself is the most loving thing I can do for everyone around me. I’m done with guilt, and I’m walking in grace.


Now Sis, I’ve got a challenge for you.

As we head into the second quarter of 2025, how about we do it together?

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Join me for a 7-Day Smoothie or Juice Challenge
—Your choice, your pace. Just one nourishing drink a day. That’s it. Let’s flood our bodies with nutrients, boost our energy, and glow from the inside out.

Don’t overthink it. Just start. I’ll be sharing recipes, encouragement, and a few BeyoncΓ©-level pep talks over on Instagram. πŸ˜„

Follow me at @terishealthyways on Instagram and DM me “I’m in!” if you’re ready to join the challenge.  I will send you a link.  And let me know when you start.

Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle

If you are interested in juicing and having more energy, my 'Power of Juicing E-book' can put you on the right track. For optimal energy, however, you can go even further and will be addressed in the book.  Here is the link:  Power of Juicing eBook

Let’s continue to get strong, refreshed, and glowing.

With love, greens and encouragement,

They Not Like Us - Your Invitation to Rise!


Reclaiming Our Power: Black Women’s Health, Black History, and the Natural Healing Revolution

Hello sisters,  I am excited to be part of your wellness journey and this month as black history month comes to an end, I say Black History Month is not just a time to reflect—it’s a time to reclaim and reimagine. Black women have carried the weight of resilience, but now it’s time to shift from survival to true, holistic thriving. In 2025, natural health immersion is emerging as a powerful pathway to wellness, liberation, and self-reclamation.

The State of Black Women’s Health

Systemic disparities have long impacted Black women’s access to quality healthcare, from higher maternal mortality rates to increased risks of chronic illness. But history shows we are not powerless—healers, innovators, and change-makers.

Reclaiming our health means honoring ancestral wisdom and embracing practices that center our well-being. It means breaking cycles of stress and disease and stepping into nourishment and restoration.

Natural Health Immersion: Returning to Our Roots

Holistic healing is in our DNA. Our ancestors harnessed plant medicine and natural rhythms to maintain vitality. Reclaiming this legacy means embracing:

  • Herbal Medicine – Hibiscus for heart health, burdock root for detoxification.

  • Mindfulness & Meditation – Breathwork, yoga, and energy healing to release trauma.

  • Nutrition for Longevity – Whole, plant-based foods for optimal health.

  • Movement as Medicine – Dance, Pilates, and strength training as self-care.

The Reclaimed Woman: Owning Your Power

To be a Reclaimed Woman is to own your health and healing. It’s about unlearning societal conditioning that tells us to overwork and ignore our needs. It’s about saying YES to joy, rest, pleasure, and deep nourishment.

When we prioritize our health, we shift the narrative—not just for ourselves, but for future generations. Every healing practice we embrace rewrites history.

Your Invitation to Rise

This Black History Month, let’s honor our ancestors by choosing wellness and sovereignty. Let’s create a movement where Black women no longer fight for scraps of healthcare but stand in our power, fully embodied in radiant health.

It’s time to reclaim what has always been ours—our health, healing, and future.

Are you ready to step into your power as a Reclaimed Woman? Begin your natural health immersion today.

Cheering you on,

Your Plant-Based Journey Is Your Power Move!

Alright, Queens—you're stepping into a new era in 2025, and it’s giving health, empowerment, and glow! Of course I am here to encourage you.  Transitioning to a whole food plant-based lifestyle isn’t just about eating; it’s about thriving like the star you are. Let’s talk about how to find your joy on this journey!

1. Honor Your Roots, Boo

This isn’t about leaving tradition behind—it’s about remixing it. Take those soulful flavors and make them plant-based perfection. Vegan gumbo? Yes. Jerk jackfruit? Of course. You’re bringing the culture and the health.

2. Celebrate Every Step

Dropped dairy? Nailed that first tofu scramble? That’s a win, sis! Clap for yourself because small steps are major keys.  This one is fun, so give it a try.

3. Own the Kitchen Like the Queen You Are

Get your crown on (or maybe just an apron) and start experimenting. You’re not just cooking; you’re creating. Go bold with spices, bright with veggies, and vibrant with your flavors.

4. Glow Inside and Out

This isn’t just about food—it’s about feeling amazing. Those greens? That fruit? They’re putting you in Formation. Your skin, your energy, your vibes—they’re all about to level up.

5. Lean on Your Hive

You don’t have to do this alone. Join Black plant-based communities or follow icons like Tabitha Brown. Your tribe is out there hyping you up.  Follow me on IG - @terishealthyways.

6. Progress, Not Perfection

It’s not about being flawless—it’s about being real. Slip-ups? They’re just a part of the journey. Keep moving, keep slaying, and remember your why.

Your plant-based journey is your power move, your glow-up, your time to shine. So step into your health era with joy, confidence, and a whole lot of flavor. You’re the queen of this kitchen and this life—now go run the world, one bite at a time. 🌟

Here’s What I’m Leaving in 2024 (and What’s Coming In)


Welcome, Sisters to 2025!

Your health is your superpower; every bite can help you feel your best. As a culinary nutrition coach, I’m here with tips and inspiration just for us, Black women. Let’s nourish our bodies, celebrate our culture, and make wellness fun and easy. ✨

2024 Out, 2025 In: Have You Made Your List Yet?

Let me share mine. Maybe it’ll inspire you to claim your power, your peace, and your purpose in 2025.


Sister, we made it through another year—stronger, wiser, and ready for even more.

But as we step into 2025, let’s be intentional about what we’re leaving behind and what we’re bringing in.

Here’s my Out List for 2024:
❌ Saying “yes” when I really mean “ugh, no.”
❌ Pretending coffee is a meal (it’s not).
❌ Scrolling my life away on socials.
❌ Jumping on trends that don’t vibe with me.

And here’s what’s In for 2025:
✅ Protecting my “me time” like it’s the last slice of cake.
✅ Hydrating, stretching, and actually resting.
✅ Cheering myself on, even for the small wins.
✅ Finding what works for me and sticking with it—no guilt allowed!

This isn’t just a list; it’s a declaration. My 2025 will be bold, beautiful, and balanced—and so can yours.


So, I’ll ask you again: Have you done your list yet? If not, start now. Write it, claim it, and step into your new season. Let’s inspire each other.

What’s on your Out/In list? Share it with me!


Juice of the Month: Glow Green Juice

Start the year strong with this refreshing, nutrient-packed blend!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup kale
  • 1 green apple
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 lemon (peeled)
  • 1-inch ginger
  • 1 cup coconut water (optional)

Juice all ingredients, stir in coconut water if desired, and enjoy! Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, this green juice boosts energy, supports digestion, and sets the tone for a glowing new year. πŸ’š

Holidays Are Coming: Stay Healthy, Juice Up, and Kick Off the New Year Strong!

 

Hey Sis,

Can you believe the holidays are right around the corner? It's that time of year when we're surrounded by food, celebrations, and let's be honest—a lot of temptation. But just because the season is festive doesn't mean we can't stay on track and step into the new year as our healthiest selves. This is YOUR time to shine, and here's how you can do it by embracing juicing, a whole food plant-based lifestyle, and prioritizing your wellness.

1. Stay Focused, Not Deprived

We all love a good holiday meal, but let’s flip the script and focus on nourishment. Instead of feeling guilty about that extra slice of pie, think about how you can balance indulgence with healthy habits. It’s not about deprivation, it’s about giving your body what it truly craves: real, whole foods that make you feel vibrant.

2. Juice Up for Energy and Immunity

The holidays can get hectic, and sometimes we need a quick pick-me-up that isn’t loaded with sugar and processed junk. That’s where juicing comes in! Juices packed with greens, fruits, and veggies can give you a nutrient boost that’s easy to digest. Try a juice blend of kale, apple, ginger, and lemon for a burst of energy and immune support. The best part? You’re nourishing your body while keeping your immune system strong, which is crucial during the colder months.

3. Whole Food, Plant-Based for the Win

When it comes to eating, focus on a whole food plant-based lifestyle. Think colorful salads, roasted veggies, hearty grains like quinoa, and delicious soups that warm the soul. These foods are naturally packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber—keeping you full and energized without the post-meal slump.

Don’t forget about healthy fats like avocado and nuts to keep you satisfied and glowing from the inside out. And if you love sweets, don’t worry—there are plenty of plant-based dessert options that will satisfy your cravings without the processed sugar crash.

4. Prep and Plan Ahead

With a little preparation, you can stay on track even when the holiday madness hits. Meal prepping plant-based meals for the week can help you avoid those last-minute fast food runs. Keep healthy snacks like raw almonds, hummus, and veggie sticks on hand for when you need a quick bite.

Make your favorite juice blends in advance, freeze them, and have them ready when you need a health boost. You can also plan your holiday meals around plant-based dishes that everyone will love, so you’re not the only one eating healthily.

5. Start the New Year with a Wellness Challenge

As we move toward the new year, let’s think about how to keep this healthy momentum going. Challenge yourself (and your sisters!) to a wellness goal. Whether it’s walking more, starting a daily juicing habit, or transitioning to a plant-based diet, the new year is the perfect time to commit to being the healthiest version of yourself.

We can even kick off 2024 with a 30-day plant-based challenge or a daily juice detox to reset after the holidays and start the year strong. You’re not alone on this journey, we’re all together, encouraging each other to live well, feel great, and glow from the inside out.

Ready to Elevate Your Wellness? Join the 10-Day Better Body Challenge!

If you’ve been inspired by the tips we’ve shared today, I’ve got an invitation just for you. 🌟 Our 10-Day Better Body Challenge is designed to help you build those healthier habits step-by-step, from mindful movement to energizing nutrition that feels good from the inside out.  Here is the link.  So check it out:  10 Day Better Body

Final Thoughts

Sis, holidays don’t have to derail your health goals. By prioritizing juicing, whole food, and plant-based eating, you’re setting yourself up for success now and well into the new year. Let’s step into 2024 as our healthiest, happiest selves, full of energy and ready to take on the world.

So, let’s make this holiday season about nourishing our bodies, showing ourselves love, and preparing for all the new year's greatness.

With love and wellness,

Teri Sewell
