Women, Food, and Desire

Embrace Your Cravings, Make Peace with Food, Reclaim Your Body

By: Alexandra Jamieson

Narrated by: Alexandra Jamieson

A holistic health counselor and co-star of the award-winning documentary Super Size Me explores women’s cravings—for food, sleep, sex, movement, companionship, inspiration—and teaches them to listen to their bodies for a healthier, fuller life.

“Desire is the basis for new conception, new growth, new life. We’re born with it. And often talked out of it. When you tap it, you have access to your inner guidance. Women, Food, and Desire will show you how. Sweet.” (Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of New York Times bestsellers Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The Wisdom Of Menopause)

Transformational health expert Alexandra Jamieson is a woman on a mission. Having overcome her own food addictions and the weight and health problems these habits caused, she learned something life-altering: when we listen to our cravings, they will lead us onto the path of deep healing. Since her own personal breakthrough more than a decade ago, Alexandra has dedicated her life to helping other women learn to listen to the wisdom of their cravings and make food their greatest ally as they step into their lives with authentic passion.

With love, deep compassion, and fearless honesty, she calls upon all of us to boldly use food as a tool to cleanse ourselves of the nutritional, emotional, physical, and mental blocks that limit our ability to live full, meaningful, and joyful lives.

In this book she’ll show us how our cravings are the gatekeepers of our deepest longings and desires; how transforming habits set us free; and how detoxing unclutters our bodies and minds so we may engage in our lives with more power and authenticity. She also helps us embrace our sexual selves, trust our instincts, and form a nurturing community that is essential for a vital, healthy, hot life.

Life changing.

This book has changed my life. If you have any doubts about how wonderful you truly are, read this. It is incredibly empowering and awakening.

My life is better because of Alexandra Jamieson and the work she has done for women and health- body mind and soul. Read this book!

Ps she's super fun to listen to; I felt like I was talking to a very wise and numerous friend while reading this. I really enjoyed it and will recommend it and listen again.

wait, that's it?

Please don't get me wrong, I'm looking into all the bonuses and reading other books Mentone, but I felt like sure was just getting to the meat of what I needed when she ended the book. ummm, so what now?

A Great and Informative Read

Alexandra has such a fun writing style and a lovely butterscotch voice that I could listen to all day. The book is full of fantastic nutritional and functional information, and it's delivered in such a way that I can't wait for the next enlightening chapter. I feel empowered after listening to Ms. Jamieson and feel that I can conquer any doubts I have around how I eat, move, think, feel, and process.

Everyone should read this

I think this is a wonderfully picturesque, poetic and realistic view of the lives of nearly all women. It treats our desires and our relationships with food in an empowering way. Well done.

Great book! I recommend every woman to read it!

I was able to relate to many of the stories. This book was very inspirational and motivating. I can't tell you how many times I had to change my unhealthy lunch options just remembering the advise provided! My relationship with food is very different now because I'm in search for real food!
