About 12 years ago, I had hit my bottom.

I was depressed, addicted sugar, suffering from debilitating migraines and barely had the energy to get out of bed in the morning. The fog in my brain made it impossible to really move ahead in my life, have a healthy intimate relationship and enjoy my life.

I knew I needed help and support, and thankfully, I found it.

I found yoga, holistic practitioners that showed me a healthy way to live and The Institute For Integrative Nutrition where I eventually got my  training to help others live a vibrantly healthy and happy life.

I understand being in the darkness, which is why I want to support you in reaching your light as much as I possibly can.

That is why I decided to create the 10-week BlissBody Transformation Teleseries. This program can be done from anywhere, anytime (all classes are recorded) and I made sure the cost was very affordable.

However, I realize that for some of you, money may be tight.

If you have been feeling that you are ready to support yourself in finally reaching your goals of shedding excess weight, gaining abundant energy, and really just feeling great in a body you adore, but financially have no room to wiggle,

I invite you to apply for this very special scholarship.

How to apply:

First – Review the entire program to be sure that it is a fit for you.

Be well,

Ana

Below is a letter I received with more info on how IIN is helping out with these efforts:

Dear Ana,

As heartbreaking images of the devastation in Haiti fill our screens and our minds, we are asking everyone in the IIN community–employees, students, alumni, and prospective students– to do whatever you can to help alleviate the immense suffering that is now occurring just hundreds of miles from our shores.

To encourage you to take action, we are offering matching donations immediately. If any IIN employee, alumni, current student or prospective student makes a donation to the Red Cross between now and the end of next week, simply email your donation confirmation to charity@integrativenutrition.com, and we will match the donation. We delete the receipts immediately and do not hold onto any personal information. We will match up to $25,000 in total donations immediately.

At IIN, we want our students, alumni and prospective students to take action about pressing, urgent issues around the world–and we also want you to know you’re part of an organization that does the same.

In addition to these matching donations, we are also implementing an emergency donation drive through our enrollments. For students who enroll between today and the end of next week, we will donate an additional $100 to relief for Haiti.

(note: mention my name for a $500 tuition discount)

Please reach as deep into your heart as you can and donate generously to the Red Cross. Send us the receipt to charity@integrativenutrition.com and we will match it, up to $25,000 in total. Haiti needs us, this very day before night falls again on the people in crisis.

Sincerely,

Institute for Integrative Nutrition

Directions:

1. Lightly oil 9 x 9 baking pan with extra virgin coconut oil.

2. Using a 14-cup food processor, blend eggs until creamy.

3. Add coconut cream, molasses and vanilla to eggs. Blend until thick and creamy (approximately 1 minute).

4. Add one can of pumpkin at a time to the mixture, blending in between.

5. Add remaining ingredients, except nuts, and blend until mixed.

6. Mix in nuts until blended.

7. Taste the batter to check sweetness. Add some stevia or more spices according to your liking.

8. Pour into the sprayed pan and sprinkle cinnamon on the top before baking.

9. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Rotate the pan at 50 minutes to ensure even browning.

10. When the bars are cool, cover with plastic wrap or foil. Cracks will appear on the top and will flatten when the bars cool.

Note: Bars must sit overnight for the flavors to meld. They will not taste good right out of the oven.
