Summary

Find all resources mentioned and some free stuff from Melissa at http://www.onairwithella.com/033-melissa-joulwan-well-fed

Melissa Joulwan is on a mission to be a superfit, well-fed, dressed-to-kill, glossy-haired, rock-n-roll chic. She also happened to write two of my favorite books that still help teach me how to stay Well Fed and healthy.

Today we're talking about changing your diet, the pantry conversion, and how to stay well fed and well nourished without taking a lot of time. We've added bonus content at the end of this episode for those of you who want to stay tuned for Melissa's tips for managing thyroid issues.

Great Meals: No Recipe Required

We know you want ideas for delicious meals that don’t require a recipe, and don't require much time — some dishes that you can throw together from whatever ingredients you have on hand. Melissa swears you don’t need a recipe to prepare stunningly tasty food, so she created this compilation for you: Great Ingredients: No Recipe Required.

But, sometimes you need to cook

Melissa wrote two of my favorite cookbooks of all time. And, they're more than recipes - it's like a how-to in converting your kitchen and lifestyle. I've bought multiple copies and probably given one to every person I know. Want to know how to eat well and NEVER feel like you're missing out? Then get yours at www.onairwithella.com

FREE STUFF: Want a free 1-Week Meal plan with a Shopping List and step-by-step instructions for a weekly cook-up? Visit www.onairwithella.com

BONUS Content: Melissa stays on for a bonus 10 minutes at the end to talk about thyroid problems, adrenal fatigue, auto-immune protocols, how intermittent fasting and low-carb may NOT be a good idea, and other tips she's picked up on her wellness journey.

0:00.0	Yeah, I would hate for anyone to go through life feeling like they're not enjoying their food
0:04.9	because there's so many ways that you can and still take really good care of yourself.
0:10.6	Welcome, you're on air with Ella, where we share simple strategies and truths from people
0:15.8	who are doing something better than we are, whether it's wellness or fitness and fat loss to just living better
0:22.0	and with more energy or changing your mindset to accomplish more in your own life and succeeding
0:27.6	however you define it. This is where we share the best of what we're learning from the experts,
0:32.1	and we're learning more every day. Live better, start now.
0:46.5	Hey, everyone, you're on air with Ella, and today I have the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Jewelon, and I am super pleased to be able to introduce you to her. Melissa actually changed
0:52.5	my life, and my family is forever grateful.
0:55.6	Between Carrie Brown, who I've mentioned before and Melissa Jewel on, these two women taught me
1:01.0	how to actually prepare food that you could consume. So my family will be forever grateful to you,
1:08.1	Melissa, and I want to say welcome and thank you. Thank you. I'm really excited
1:12.7	to talk to your audience today. Yeah, I'm being facetious a teeny bit, but not really, because I had
1:18.5	no idea when I started really realizing that the only way to kind of eat clean as I define it anyway,
1:24.5	the only way to do that was really, I actually had to learn how to prepare some food and do it in my own kitchen, Melissa.
1:30.0	Yeah. You have to have to embrace the idea of cooking a little bit. It's true. Unless you want to eat grilled chicken and steamed broccoli, but that is only manageable for about three days.
1:40.0	Right. Exactly. Exactly. And so if you don't want it to come out of a box and you don't want to eat the same thing over and over again, at some point you might have to break down and learn a few skills. And frankly, I was intimidated because I just, I sucked at it, Melissa, and I don't like to do things that I'm not good at. And when I bought your book, I bought well fed first. You now have well fed and well fed too. But when I
2:02.0	bought well fed paleo recipes for people who love to eat, it wasn't paleo, incidentally, and I bought it,
2:08.5	and I started reading it. And I was like, this chick talks like me. She sounds like me. And she's using
2:16.0	descriptions that I can follow. And I just kind of jumped in and I
2:20.1	started making stuff and of course I'm scared of anything that has like more than five ingredients in
2:24.5	it sure so you must have you must have felt faint when you read my ingredients list because they do
