Our food and support systems are lacking. We feel that we are never good enough. We wear ourselves out trying to achieve societal expectations. This leaves us exhausted and empty, soothing ourselves however we can. By going deeper into our urges, nutrition biochemist Juniper Devecis guides us to find peace.
Juniper combines expertise in biochemistry, nutrition, psychology, and energy work with her personal experiences to provide an easy, actionable step-by-step path to healing. Drawing from life as a mother and career woman, she shares the learnings and soul-work she used to step back from overwhelm. She teaches us how nutrients can reduce cravings and how to feed hunger of a different kind. She details practices like checking feelings and prioritizing self-care. Through these processes, she was able to successfully quiet the food chatter and conquer her struggles with emotional eating. Even better, this allowed space for more.
In this must-read book for women struggling with over-eating, Juniper shows that the secret to tackling cravings lies not through dieting and hard work, but self-love. Through joy and self-care we ease our hungers, freeing us to live a more authentic, richer life.
Industry Reviews
Juniper's book stands out from so many others in the crowded weight loss space. There's so much gold in this book! A favorite nugget for all of us who are so busy and driven, - "We are still worthy even when we aren't busy". And, "When you are able to love yourself, you no longer have to work so hard. You know exactly how you like to be cared for and supported." What's more is that Juniper discusses practical advice on HOW to love yourself. As a physician who has specialized in metabolism and weight management for twenty-five years, Juniper's advice on how to nourish yourself with food is spot on. Her nutritional recommendations are correct for lowering cravings as well as supporting lean muscle and metabolism in the weight loss process.

"What a breath of fresh air in the realm of nutrition. Juniper's advice, from such a place of authenticity, makes this book a delight to read. Vibrant Juicy Life is very easy to understand and gives the reader very practical ways to implement meaningful change in their relationship with food. As a functional medicine doctor, it truly shifted my perspective from counseling patients on the "how" they are eating to explore the very important "why" they are eating." -Nathan Morris, M.D., Founder of Good Medicine
