Hi! I'm Teresa Kay-Aba Kennedy, or "Terri." In 1997, I almost died. As the youngest Vice President at MTV Networks (still in my twenties), I had reached success by external measures but was not managing myself very well. I was working too much, sleeping too little, eating processed food, exercising infrequently and not taking time to nurture myself. It was not sustainable. I couldn’t hold down food and lost twenty pounds in a two-week period. I spent ten days in the hospital and was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. I believe my workaholic lifestyle triggered an autoimmune response. With my mother’s help, I went gluten-free decades before it became mainstream. There was no Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s around the corner so we had to cook everything at home. I healed using my own integrated protocol including yoga, meditation, a gluten-free plant-based diet, and mindset shift. Then, I dove deeply into what made the human body, brain and spirit thrive and dedicated my career to helping others transform.
