This is very unethical.

If there was one thing that opened up my eyes to how corrupt the food industry is… it's how big food companies, like McDonald's, Pepsico, and Heinz reformulate their products with safer ingredients to sell in other countries. 

McDonald's french fries without dimethylsiloxane, Mountain Dew without artificial colors, and Heinz Ketchup without high fructose corn syrup are all provided to our friends overseas, while they continue to sell dramatically inferior versions here in America. 

It's unethical and the hypocrisy needs to stop.

If a company can make safer products without these chemicals for other people, why won't they do this for their own American citizens?

I recently shared a NEW LIST with 10 more examples of food companies selling safer, less toxic versions of their products in other countries. Swipe left on Instagram to see them all here. 

It's an eye-opener. Please share this with your friends! 

And there's a lot more you need to know. You'll want to read or listen to Chapter 3 in my book Feeding You Lies to get the full scoop. The ebook is only  $1.99 here - until tomorrow!

Question everything (the most important email you might read today)

I've always been very inquisitive. Perhaps this has something to do with how I was raised or all those years I spent on the debate team in school, but my intense desire to research and find the truth has not left me. I learned a long time ago that things are not always how they seem on the surface and that it is important to question everything. 

As I uncovered in my best-selling book, Feeding You Lies, corporations can pay for favorable media coverage - they can get reporters to suggest organic food isn't worth the money, or GMOs are safe or even create character assassinations on activists like me. (And if you haven't read this book, the eBook version is only $1.99 this week)

If your pockets are deep enough, you can get basically anything you want in the "News". 

An investigative report was recently published in Columbia Journalism Review (CJR), which exposes how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has funnelled more than $250 million into news agencies such as the NY Times, BBC, NBC, NPR, The Guardian, Univision, The Financial Times, The Atlantic, and many more. 

You may know that Gates has a long history of investing millions into chemical companies too - like Monsanto (he bought 500,000 shares of the company) and widely promotes the development of GMO crops throughout the world even though the chemicals in Roundup that are sprayed on GMO crops are cancerous. 

The CJR report outlines how some Gates-funded news outlets have gone on to write "glowing editorials" about Gates and his many projects. Fact-check platforms PolitiFact and USA Today also received funding from Gates and defended him from "conspiracy theories" circulating online. And it goes much deeper than this. 

At some point you've got to wonder, am I reading "the news" or a paid PR piece?

This really hit home...

The food and chemical industries have used paid messengers in the media for decades to swindle the public into believing processed foods full of GMOs, artificial colors, and other chemical additives (like Kellogg's new Unicorn Waffles) are safe, fun, and good for you. When you sell food that makes people sick, it turns out you have to spend a lot of time and money trying to convince people it's not your fault. 

I've personally been attacked and slandered in the media countless times, only later to uncover that the "expert sources" quoted in these stories were bankrolled by the very food and chemical companies that I was fighting against. 

I tell these stories in Feeding You Lies and share much more about how the media is being manipulated by the very people we thought we could trust. I'm sharing this with you again now, because it's more important than ever that we pay close attention to what we are being told and who we can trust. 

If you know anyone needs to hear this, please forward this email to them and please have them join this email list here. Let's all keep asking questions and being inquisitive about everything that affects our health and the health of our children.

Xo,

Vani

You won't believe this... I AM LIVID

When I saw these new waffles I wanted to jump on a plane, fly to Kellogg's headquarters, and give them a piece of my mind…

And this isn't even dessert… it's supposed to be BREAKFAST.

NEW POST: New Kellogg's waffles are a disaster for children's immune system

Kellogg's said they were removing Artificial Colors from their products back in 2015… but instead are creating NEW products with these same chemicals for children.

We petitioned Kellogg's asking them to keep their promises and our petition has now reached nearly 54,000 signatures. Kellogg's has largely ignored us – but we are not going away. 

They are a disgrace. They are liars. And they need to be held accountable.

The #1 thing you can do to help is share this brand new blog post and ask your friends to sign our petition. 

I've made it my mission to tell people the truth. And I want companies to change, because it is wrong to sell poisons for profit. Especially when it's food for our children during a pandemic!

Let's hold Kellogg's accountable.

Staying on top of it all

I've got another story for you today.

But first I want to let you know that our Probiotics Anniversary Sale ends August 25th, and it's a deal you don't want to miss. 

We are anticipating that this deal will fly off the shelves. If you want to snap it up (before the special pricing ends), do so now.

But back to my story...

My colleague mentioned her kids start high school tomorrow. 

All online. 

And everything is up in the air. 

They don't have class schedules. Supply lists. Textbooks.

Yikes.

Like many of us, she's working from home, too. 

And like many of us, she's feeling the pressure to stay on top of everything…

… even when she's not sure what she's supposed to stay on top of.

Relatable.

She also confessed that feeling unsettled had left her gut feeling… errr, unbalanced

Or, as she put it, "The train isn't leaving the station on its regular schedule… if you catch my drift."

Oh, girl. We've all been there. 

Being pushed out of our routine… well, makes everything go a little wacky. 

Including our digestion. We can literally have a gut reaction to what's going on in life. 

I shared some of my favorite gut-supporting foods like:

• Leafy greens
• Avocado
• Low-fructose fruit

And also suggested she start taking Truvani's Plant-Based Probiotics. Each shelf-stable capsule has a balance of 15 research-backed strains known to support overall health and wellness.

And taking a daily probiotic supplement can help support digestive health. 

Like how our probiotics have helped Susan G., who said:

5 stars - "Love the probiotics! I have been having gut issues for quite some time and trust these are the real deal!!" 

Last year we launched Truvani's Plant-Based Probiotics. And they nearly sold out in the first few days. And it's been one of our top-selling products ever since.

So, to celebrate this anniversary, we are offering up to 25% off your order when you purchase this incredible product.

If you subscribe, you will lock in this special pricing for the duration of your subscription. That's a 25% savings every month!  

As a bonus, we will throw in 1 chocolate and 1 vanilla Plant-Based Protein sample. And I'll email you my favorite Gut Health Recipe Guide.

Click here to get your Probiotics Anniversary pricing and BONUS gifts. Remember, the sale ends on August 25th at midnight!

An unexpected call

Yesterday we began a savings of up to 25% on our Plant-Based Probiotics. 

Plus you can get some great gifts with your purchase. Here's the entire package:

• 1 Bottle of Plant-Based Probiotics ($34.99)
• The Truvani Gut Health Guide ($9.99)
• 1 Sample of Truvani Chocolate Plant-Based Protein ($9.99)
• 1 Sample of Truvani Vanilla Plant-Based Protein ($9.99)

That's a value of $54.96! But you get everything for as low as $26.24! 

Not only are our probiotics a best seller…

… but this product almost didn't happen. 

When we were near the tail end of product development, I got an unexpected call. 

I couldn't believe what I heard on the other end of the phone.  

"We had a bit of a calamity," my product developer said. "But everyone's okay." 

He went on to explain… 

… he heard a lot of ruckus in his usually quiet building on the way back from lunch. 

"I think that came from inside your office," his co-worker said. 

He creaked open his door and stuck his head inside.

A white goo dripped from the ceiling. Bottles clanked on the floor.

So what the heck happened?!?! 

We tried creating a liquid probiotics product. 

But it outgrew the glass jars! 

So much so that they burst in his office 

The good news was…

… we had some pretty powerful strains (which means they were working!).

The bad news was we had to come up with a new plan. ASAP. 

But this gave us an opportunity to develop a shelf-stable probiotics capsule. Each capsule has a balance of 15 research-backed strains known to support overall health and wellness.

It's been a year since we launched Truvani's Plant-Based Probiotics. 

They nearly sold out in the first few days. And it's been one of our top-selling products ever since. 

So, to celebrate this anniversary, we are offering up to 25% off your order when you purchase this incredible product. 

As a bonus, we will throw in 1 chocolate and 1 vanilla Plant-Based Protein sample. And I'll email you my favorite Gut Health Recipe Guide. 

Click here to learn more! Hurry, this offer expires at midnight on Tuesday, August 25th!

Something happened

I have a confession…

I was dedicated to a solid at-home all-day routine a few months ago. 

But then I fell in a bit of a slump.  

Can you relate? 

Don't get me wrong. 

I love spending more time with my family. Spending time outdoors. Movie nights on the sofa. 

But...

I couldn't take my usual fitness class.

I couldn't take my daughter on our daily date to the playground.

And she is now my favorite co-worker...

(I mean, how fun is a Zoom call with a toddler trying to cover your mouth? Most. Fun. Ever). 

But, as Harry S. Truman was famous for saying, "The buck stops here." 

No more passing the buck on my health routine. 

Years ago, when I started my health journey, the first supplement I took was probiotics. 

Because good health begins in the gut. 

So, I decided, along with my renewed health routine... I was going to add back in a probiotics supplement. 

The only difference? 

It will be Truvani's probiotics. 

We launched these probiotics a year ago, and it has been one of our more popular products. 

And people love the difference it makes!  

So right now we want you to try our Probiotics with this AMAZING offer.

Click here to learn more about our Probiotics special. 

5 stars "First probiotic I have used that actually seems to help (and I have tried a LOT of different kinds)." - Kara K.

And this is exactly what we thought about when we developed this product. 

Different bacterial strains have various benefits.

So, I put together my DREAM formula, and the results are impressive. 

"I have noticed a calming effect in my gut with [Plant-Based] Probiotic. I believe it is noticeably changing my gut biome for the better [...]" Dr. F. 

Since it's the 1 year anniversary of Truvani's Probiotic, we decided to let you in on this special deal. 

Not only do you get our Plant-Based Probiotics at an incredible price, but you will also receive some great gifts with your purchase. 

Act now! The sale ends at midnight on August 25th! Click here to claim your discount.

Important alert - Spraying humans with disinfectant

When I saw this, I couldn't believe this was real – but it is…

See the video

They are spraying a sanitizer on these NFL players. 

This may be coming to a school near you. We'll likely see disinfectant booths like this in airports, stores, and other public places too. 

There are a lot of questions we need to be asking before we just conform to this madness.

NEW INVESTIGATION: Misting Booths Disinfecting Humans – Is This Where We Are Headed? (Please Beware) 

Remember - your skin is your largest organ. And what are these chemicals going to do when they get in your ears and eyes?

Check out my latest blog post to learn more. 

If you don't want to be subjected to disinfectant spray booths everywhere you go, it's time to make your voice heard! Please share this post on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) to warn people what might be coming. You can also forward this email to your contacts. 

Now is the time to speak up, before it is too late.

We have a problem

We have a problem. 

I've been screaming it from the rooftops for years, but now it's more important than ever that you know about it. 

To explain, look at what's happened in the past (and this is just the tip of the iceberg…)

• The tobacco industry paid doctors to lie to us that cigarettes are healthy. They also paid scientists to counter science showing cigarettes cause cancer. 
• The sugar industry paid Harvard scientists to publish a paper in The New England Journal of Medicine to say that fat (not sugar) was triggering heart disease.
• Coca-Cola's paid scientists to blame obesity on lack of exercise, rather than on drinking sodas full of sugar. They also paid professors to form a front group to downplay the link between sugary drinks and obesity.
• Monsanto (maker of GMO seeds) paid scientists who claim GMOs are safe to eat and chemicals like Roundup weed killer don't cause cancer. Now it's known to cause cancer, and lawsuits are being settled in the billions.

History repeats itself, right? These shameful practices continue today. 

There is so much corruption that I wrote an entire book about it called Feeding You Lies. Perhaps you've read it, and if so, none of this is new information to you. The industry has been using paid messengers in the name of "science" for decades. 

So this is a reminder: 

(Share this message on Instagram or Facebook. Tag your friends who need to see it.)

I don't blindly trust anyone to tell me how to take care of my health. I question where the information is coming from and if it can be trusted. Being a credentialed expert doesn't automatically mean that someone has integrity and hasn't been "bought".

Forbes (who has a history of paid shill articles) recently published an article entitled 'You Must Not 'Do Your Own Research' When it Comes to Health… here is an excerpt: 

"It's absolutely foolish to think that you, a non-expert who lacks the very scientific expertise necessary to evaluate the claims of experts, are going to do a better job than the actual, bona fide experts of separating truth from fiction or fraud." 

What about experts who are PAID TO LIE TO US to benefit industry?

Someone once said "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." It's often hard to figure out the facts. However, when it comes to your health, I think it's absolutely worth investing the extra effort and time to determine what's real and what's not. 

At the end of the day, it's nobody else's responsibility to tell you what's true. You alone are responsible for the news you consume. If you want to be healthy—and don't we all?—determining what is good for you is imperative. We must take control!

I've made it my job to empower people. I want to empower YOU to look after your health. I want to empower EVERYONE.

We need to spread this empowering message now more than ever…

Do you have friends and loved ones who need to hear this? Please share this email with them. The world needs this message right now more than ever.

What is this pandemic all about?

I've been thinking a lot about what's happening in the world and trying to figure out the bigger picture.

If you've read my books or have followed me for awhile, you'll know that I believe in taking personal responsibility for my health and what I put into my body. 

I don't outsource my health to people who have deceived me in the past. Especially the government and their appointed experts, who have a sordid history of being bought off by the industry. 

To give you an example - the government has allowed Roundup weedkiller in our food for decades, and the EPA recently renewed its approval of the chemical even though it's been proven to cause cancer and Bayer is paying out billions to settle court cases by cancer patients. Their "experts" say it's safe - but they are lying so they can keep raking in the profits. 

This is just ONE example of the many disastrous chemicals allowed in our food, water, and environment. They use paid experts and manipulated science to fool the public into believing these chemicals are safe. And now suddenly, I'm supposed to trust them? The government hasn't cared about my health up until this point, and I don't plan to start trusting them now. 

I shared this on my social media (on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) and am happy to see that many of you agree and are sharing this message with your friends. If you haven't done so already, please share! Forward this email to your friends and share this post on social media. This is how change in the collective consciousness happens. 

Information is changing at lighting speed. Do the research. Follow your gut. Take care of yourself. This is the great awakening. Open your eyes. Your health depends on it!

peanut and almond butter to stop buying asap

When I was growing up, we always had a jar of Peanut Pan Peanut Butter in the house. To me, that sweet heavily-processed spread was the only real peanut butter there was – and I really didn't realize until well into my 20's that there are MUCH healthier options out there. 

Today, the nut butter section is one of the most confusing sections in the grocery store. You've got creamy, crunchy, no-stir, stir, reduced fat, sweetened, unsweetened, palm oil, no palm oil, raw, roasted, natural, and organic. 

It's no wonder that one of most popular questions I get is what brand of nut butter I use. 

In this brand new investigation I walk you through practically every brand of nut butter that you'll see on the shelf and tell you what I look for. 

NEW INVESTIGATION: How To Choose The Healthiest Nut Butter (My Top Picks!)

It includes a huge list of all the brands I recommend for peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, and more!

If you want more cheat sheets like this, I created a list of EVERYTHING you'll find in my pantry and fridge – including brand names.  Here's how to get it.
