Start Your Own Love Story
At 88 years of age, Louise has much wisdom to share about what it takes to live a long, happy, healthy life.
We invite you to join us on an amazing journey that will turn your life into your greatest love story.

For decades, best-selling author Louise Hay has transformed people's lives by teaching them to let go of limiting beliefs. Now in this tour de force, Louise teams up with her go-to natural health and nutrition experts, Ahlea Khadro and Heather Dane, to reveal the other side of her secret to health, happiness, and longevity: living a nutrient-rich life.
Unlike any health book you've ever read, this work transcends fads, trends, and dogma to bring you a simple yet profound system to heal your body, mind, and spirit that is as gentle as changing the way you think. Louise, Ahlea, and Heather show you how to take your health, your moods, and your energy to the next level.

In Loving Yourself to Great Health, you will:

• Tap into the secrets Louise has used for decades to supercharge the effectiveness of affirmations and bring your body back into alignment with your mind;
• Discover what nutrition really means and how to cut through the confusion about which diets really work;
• Learn to hear the stories your body is eager to reveal; and
• Uncover techniques for longevity, vitality, good moods, deep intuition, and for meeting your body's unique healing needs at all stages of life.

Thoughts & Food—the Ultimate Diet

"To create your best health, start with every thought you think
and every bite you eat."
— Louise

While there are many "diet" books available, this one is unique in its scope—inviting you to listen to your body and tune in to your unique wisdom,
while having the support of affirmations, recipes, practical lists,
and an education about how your body works.

What makes this book different is that it's a health book that addresses how to heal the body and the mind and how both really matter (in Louise's words, "getting your thoughts and food right").

Louise, Ahlea, and Heather gently teach you why making better, loving choices is your greatest tool for health and healing.

Vanilla Spice Ice Cream

This is a delicious twist on vanilla with some of your favorite Thanksgiving spices, like cinnamon, allspice, and cardamom. Easy to digest, dairy-free, and sure to delight!
Ingredients

• 1 (12-oz.) can of organic coconut milk (get a brand that is BPA-free)
• 1½ cups extra-virgin olive oil
• 10 dates
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. cardamom
• 1 tsp. allspice
• 1 tsp. sea salt

Directions

Put your coconut milk into a food processor with the S-blade and add the egg yolks. Blend for a couple of minutes, then slowly drizzle the olive oil into the food processor. Do this very slowly—take 2 full minutes to drizzle the oil in, practicing patience!
Once the olive oil is blended in, add the vanilla, sea salt, dates, and spices and continue to blend. Once this is fully blended, put your mixture into a glass container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
After it's been thoroughly chilled, place the mixture into your ice-cream maker and make the ice cream, according to the manufacturer's instructions; or if you don't have an ice-cream maker, try this:
Take a large stainless-steel bowl and fill it halfway with ice. Add in some thick kosher salt or any coarse salt and mix it up. The salt won't be touching the ice cream—it's there to transfer cold from the ice into your dish of ice-cream mixture.
Put a smaller stainless-steel or ceramic bowl into the big bowl of ice and salt. Make sure it's set well into the ice, so that ice is going up the sides of the smaller bowl, but not into the bowl itself. Then fill the smaller bowl halfway up with ice-cream mixture.
Now take a hand-held mixer or immersion blender with whisk attachment and mix up the ice-cream mixture for 10 minutes.
Take both bowls and put them in the freezer for 1–2 hours. Take the bowls out and use your hand mixer again for another 10 minutes.
Cover with some natural parchment paper (sitting directly on the mixture), then put a top on the smaller bowl and allow the ice cream to set in your freezer.
