Live Wisely: The Three Brain Cookbook: Nourishing Your Mind, Heart & Gut for a Life Well Lived (p.s. this is not a diet book)

Let’s get one thing straight: this is not a diet book.

I have no idea if the Three Brain Cookbook will help you lose weight, meet a macro goal, or fit into a certain calorie count. That’s not the point. What I do know is that the way we eat—how we eat—shapes how we move through the world.

This book is about nourishing your three brains—the head (clarity), the heart (emotional balance), and the gut (intuition)—so you can go into your life as your fullest, most alive self. It’s about food as fuel, yes, but also as pleasure, connection, and art.

Why Pleasure Matters

The inspiration for this book isn’t a clinical nutrition plan—it’s something much more alive. It comes from moments in France, where pastries aren’t just sugar and butter; they’re a work of art. Where people don’t just eat—they savor. There’s a love, a presence, a joy in the way food is made and eaten that, in itself, is nourishing. It reduces the toxic load of stress, cortisol, and guilt that so often surrounds eating. And it’s not just about the food—it’s about how we experience it.

That’s what this cookbook is about: real, whole ingredients + mindful enjoyment = a body and mind that feel good.

Nourishing the Three Brains

Each recipe in this book is designed to support the three brains in different ways:

• Head Brain (Clarity & Focus): Foods rich in healthy fats, antioxidants, and brain-boosting nutrients to support cognition and mental sharpness.

• Heart Brain (Emotional Balance): Ingredients that soothe, uplift, and promote heart health—both physically and emotionally.

• Gut Brain (Intuition & Strength): Fermented foods, fiber, and gut-friendly ingredients that support digestion, mood, and overall well-being.

But beyond the nutrients, these meals are meant to be enjoyed—not just consumed. Because true nourishment isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s about how you feel when you eat it.

A Different Way to Approach Food

Instead of worrying about “good” or “bad” foods, I invite you to ask:

• Does this meal bring me joy?

• Does it support my energy and well-being?

• Am I eating with stress or with pleasure?

Food should be a source of power, not pressure. And this book is an invitation to reclaim that—to eat in a way that feeds your body, heart, and soul.

So no, I can’t tell you if you’ll lose weight.

I can tell you that eating this way feels really, really good.
