Denise Kelly - The Art of Healthy Living

Jo Wood, Former Model, Television Personality and Entrepreneur

‘I thought I had a relatively healthy diet and a good outlook on life, but Denise Kelly’s insight and knowledge of the world of health, wellbeing and nutrition have opened my eyes. Just making a few small changes can make a really big difference to anyone. I’m personally excited to start making them! Thank you, Denise, you are an inspiration.’

Laura Hamilton, TV Presenter, Mum and Entrepreneur

‘This practical guide to healthy living is a must for anyone who wants to improve their mental state, physical energy or emotional balance. Denise presents her ideas in a practical, informed and inspirational way that makes healthy living easy and fun.’

Steve Neale,Speaker, Trainer, Psychologist and Coach, Co-author of Emotional Intelligence Coaching

‘I hate patronising self-help, “I’m-so-great” type of books – this is NOT one of those. Denise writes with humour, kindness and realism. Her approach is passionate, warm and genuine, but most importantly EASY to understand and very enjoyable. There will be something in this book that will resonate loud and clear to every single one of you. I personally have a good knowledge of the importance of nutrition, exercise, and being outdoors, and so wasn’t expecting to gain too much – how wrong could I be? No one knows it all, and if your life is even just a little bit shit, you should definitely read this. If your life is completely shit, then look no further, Denise will aid your recovery (whatever your problem or problems are) and potentially turn your life completely around. It’s a book that will warm your kitchen; nurture your bedside table and cuddle your soul. I have read it all, but I will forever keep to hand − for reference, guidance, recipes, medical grievances, encouragement and support. Every household should have a copy: in fact, it should be the law. Thank you, Denise, you are an angel.’

Frankie Park, TV Presenter, Model and a very firm Believer in all round wellness

‘ The Art of Healthy Living is perfect for anyone looking to achieve the right balance in life and wanting to ‘thrive!’ What I loved is that this is not simply a book about nutrition and fitness, but it’s also about the mind, our emotions and the thoughts we allow to enter our mind daily. In other words, it’s about it all .... BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT. It’s personal, it’s passionate, it’s “spot on” ... with a detailed road map for anyone to follow. I live and work in NYC... It’s a phenomenal city... But it’s often stressful, chaotic and challenging... One needs balance. Denise Kelly clearly and simply outlines how to achieve and maintain that Balance. An essential read for a lifetime!!!’

Ilike prosecco and I like chocolate. Not the opening lines you would expect to read when you find yourself embracing your new ‘nutrition to create success’ book! By the way, I do also love juicing and eating fresh whole foods.

To me, this is the secret to good health and success … yes it’s all about the BALANCE!

Getting a happy balance of life is vital, and this of course means many things, as I will explain. Firstly, looking after yourself nutritionally, buying the best quality foods you can find, not eating processed junk, and not downing a bottle of vodka every day of your life is pretty important. Trust me, in my experience as a nutritionist, I have just about seen it all in my clinics over the last 15 years (drug addictions; miracle cancer stories; sleep disorders; digestive complaints; heart attacks; liver, kidney, and bladder disease; allergies; strokes; asthma; mental, physical, and emotional disorders; daily depleting migraines; anxiety; hormonal disorders; diabetes; osteoporosis; arthritis; infections; deteriorations; fatigue; injuries … and the list goes on and on!).
