For years, people thought of me as healthy because I rarely ate meat or desserts. But it was more that I was desperate to stay thin, and I consumed tons of processed food and sugary candy because I could eat them without gaining weight.
Now that I’m older, and especially since I have children, I’m much more conscious of what I eat. I want to actually nourish my body so I can keep up with them for years to come, and I hope to make 100 trips around the sun before I leave this earth.
But healthy eating can be exhausting. Figuring out who to believe and what to eat… finding time to cook more than the old standbys… resisting the urge to DoorDash something tasty and prepared by someone else…
I struggle with all of this sometimes. And I fantasize about one day having the time in my schedule to learn to cook simple, healthy meals that actually taste good.
But maybe I don’t need to wait years for some perfect moment—maybe I just need a little Jules Clancy in my life. And maybe you do too.
Jules was also one of Tiny Buddha’s earliest contributors, so I’m always happy to share her work and what she’s creating now as a food scientist turned cooking coach.
Full disclosure: Jules is sponsoring this email, but I’m sharing it because I genuinely appreciate her approach and the helpful programs she creates.
Her latest offering is especially compelling to me, and I think it might call to you too:
This is a six-month coaching program designed to help you replace harmful food habits with better ones and learn how to cook simple, healthy meals without relying on recipes, using whatever you have in your fridge.
The goal isn’t just to “eat healthier.” It’s to make it easier to eat in a way that helps you feel better in your body—more energy, fewer cravings, clearer thinking, and that calmer, steadier feeling that makes life feel more manageable.
I especially appreciate her focus on gut health. This term wasn’t really on my radar until recently, but I now understand that gut health is crucial for immunity, disease prevention, and mental health. It’s one of those things that affects everything—energy, mood, cravings, inflammation—and a lot of us are walking around feeling off without realizing food habits are a big part of it.

I firmly believe that every goal we set in life is more attainable if we’re physically and mentally strong. That starts with what we put in our bodies. It’s much easier to choose the good stuff when it’s simple and repeatable enough to become second nature.
Jules’ program can help you do just that.
