Tess's health journey and the power of food @ 0:00

Tess shares how she struggled with debilitating fatigue and lethargy as a teenager, and how working with a naturopath to eliminate gluten, dairy, and other trigger foods dramatically improved her health within days. This sparked her lifelong passion for using food as medicine and empowering others to take control of their health.

The joy and art of cooking @ 4:57

Tess discusses how cooking became an act of self-love and self-care for her, and how she became passionate about making healthy foods delicious and enjoyable. She emphasizes the importance of viewing cooking as a creative practice rather than a chore.

The 80/20 rule and finding balance @ 10:54

Tess and Melissa discuss the 80/20 rule, where 80% of the time you fuel your body in a way that helps you thrive, and 20% you can indulge. They stress the importance of finding balance and not being overly rigid, as healthy habits are more sustainable when they are joyful.

Tess's parting wisdom @ 51:45
