Will FDA ban this cancer-causing preservative?

I have some great news for you today… The FDA has launched a safety review of an ingredient that the Food Babe Army has been warning about for years:  BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) This could lead to a federal ban.  You’ll currently find this man-made preservative in pie crusts, pizzas, sausage,…

What's REALLY in your shower water? (hint: it's not pretty)

Have you ever come home from a trip and noticed your skin and hair just feel... different? I used to blame it on travel stress or hotel pillows. Then I realized: It was the water. Hotel showers were loaded with chlorine and chemicals that my shower filter at home wasn't exposing me to anymore. Th…

Big news I’ve been waiting to share

The other day at the grocery store I noticed they already started replacing the Valentine's candy with Cadbury Eggs and Jelly Beans for Easter. It's the same story every holiday – an endless cycle of toxic "treats" that we're being bombarded with for every celebration. We're essentially being t…

Opening up about my relationship…

Okay, hear me out… The best relationship I've ever been in? It's with my gut. I know that sounds weird. But stick with me. When my gut is happy, EVERYTHING is better. My mood. My skin. My energy. My digestion (obviously).  Even my sleep. But when my gut is off? I feel bloated, tired, cranky, and …

Valentine’s Day: One of Truvani’s Best Deals

Let's talk about the most important relationship in your life. No, not that one. I'm talking about the relationship you have with YOURSELF. Because here's the truth: You can't pour from an empty cup. If you're running on fumes, stressed out, not sleeping well, eating like a college student during…

Did you see me at the grocery store?

There’s something fun that happens when I go grocery shopping lately.  I almost always run into someone in the Food Babe Army. I absolutely love when I get the chance to meet you out in the real world – another like-minded person who cares about our food and wants to make a change.   And of cours…

This simple trick helped my bedtime anxiety

Can I be honest with you? I've been struggling with anxiety at bedtime lately. Every night, I'd scroll through my phone before bed -- checking emails, social media, reading articles. And then I'd lie awake, mind racing, unable to fall asleep. That's when I discovered Ra Optics blue light blocking…

Call to action: Stop buying Doritos and M&M’s

The other day I was walking the candy aisle for Valentine’s Day… and realized that it was still so full of artificial dyes.  Endless rows of M&M’s, Ring Pops, Goldbears, Skittles, Smarties, and Dum Dums – all filled with artificial petroleum-based Red 40, Blue 1, and Yellow 5. Even worse…  Th…

This is how we beat Big Food at their own game

I love when someone is brave enough to take on an industry that needs to change. And that’s why I need to tell you about a cereal brand that’s shaking up the cereal industry. It’s called LOVEBIRD cereal. It was created by my friend Parker, who I met a few years ago at Expo West. We share somethin…

You HAVE to try these chips

A friend recently told me: “Vani, you HAVE to try these chips and tostadas." I was skeptical. I've read countless ingredient labels on tortilla chips/tostadas over the years, and they all have the same problems... Conventional tortilla chips/tostadas are loaded with: Industrial seed oils (canola…

Cancer risk of additives found in tortillas, deli meats, and more

One of the best decisions I ever made was cutting out ultra-processed food and choosing real food as much as possible. More and more research is now finding man-made food additives linked to cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Two large new studies out of France just found that p…

A face cream that meets my standards (ends today)

I’ve always believed that what you put on your body matters just as much as what you put in it. This is why I’m just as careful about what I put on my skin as I am about what I eat. I don’t use a lot of beauty products. I keep things simple. And I use brands that are made with natural organic ing…

We are being poisoned.

I wish this wasn’t true, but it is. Bayer, the foreign corporation that bought Monsanto, is trying to take away your ability to sue them if you get cancer after using Roundup weed killer. Juries across the country have already found that Roundup caused non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and that people were …

What I eat to stop sugar cravings

One of the biggest surprises people share after doing the Food Babe 7-Day Sugar Detox isn’t just fewer cravings. It’s how much they genuinely love the food. Here’s what I hear over and over again: “I have eaten more delicious food this week than I have in my entire life.” "The recipes are amazing…

This is important

Why cravings aren’t your fault

The food industry doesn’t want you to know the truth about sugar. There’s a reason sugar is in almost everything you buy at the store – even organic and so-called “health food” products. That’s not an accident. The food industry knows how addictive sugar is, and that’s why they put it in just abo…

7 days without sugar. See the results

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this: Your diet is either sabotaging you…or healing you. A few years back, I had to re-learn that lesson myself. I let old habits creep back in and found myself dealing with a full-blown candy addiction. I broke out in eczema all over my body. That was a…

I can’t believe I ate this (are you too?)

I’m a little embarrassed to admit this. But, I didn’t think this was a problem… until it was. Although I eat healthy most of the time, I’ve always had a sweet tooth. This comes back to bite me if I’m not careful. A few years back, I went completely off the rails. I started eating candy every nigh…

Do you use "REAL" salt everyday on your food?

For years, I never thought twice about the salt sitting in my kitchen. Salt is salt, right? Not quite.  Most table salt has been stripped of its natural minerals, bleached white, and loaded with anti-caking agents and other additives you'd never guess was in there. Here's what's hiding in convent…
