My Before & After.
I’m Joanna Wen. I’m not a fitness guru or a bikini competitor. Just a real mom with a real problem to solve.
I struggled with digestive health issues and a bulging belly most of my life. After becoming pregnant and giving birth to a set of twins, my belly stayed looking 6 months pregnant over a year later.
Kind-hearted New Yorkers continued to get up to offer me their seats when I walked into crowded subway cars because I still looked pregnant… while I appreciated their kind gesture, I felt down about the way I looked and was determined to make a change.
I started to count calories, avoid carbs and eat small portions – only to find myself feeling too deprived and exhausted all the time that I could hardly keep up with my busy working mom life, let alone making time and energy to work out at the gym.
I almost resigned myself to accepting my post-baby body, when I remembered my experience with the healing powers of food after drinking green smoothies amazingly healed my nearsightedness.
I wholeheartedly believed food to be the answer to my weight loss quest and started my research. What I stumbled upon was an amazing world of spices, herbs and nutrient-rich foods that turned the conventional wisdom on weight loss upside down!
I ate simple gourmet meals and lost 10 pounds in the first month, and a total of 28 pounds in the six months that followed. My post twin pregnancy waist was trimmed by 9 inches without a single sit-up!
People no longer get up for me when I enter crowded subway cars. I have more energy to keep up with my toddler twins.
I’ve never needed to think about my weight since, and I have effortlessly maintained it for over a year.
That’s my story. Now it’s YOUR TURN.
Do you want to lose weight effortlessly eating flavorful, satisfying food, and get off that hamster wheel of yo-yo dieting FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE?
Let me save you the time and hassle of trying to “figure it out” on your own and straight to the results!

Hi there, Joanna Wen here and these are my little ones that inspired Spices & Greens and this Challenge!
I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelors degree in Biological Engineering, and I enjoy hacking my own health using food as medicine. Here are some of my results in addition to losing weight by eating that have surprised even my doctors:
- carried my twins to full-term with above average birth weights on my petite 5-feet tall frame.
- weaned off high blood pressure medication despite genetic predispositions.
- healed my nearsightedness in my early 30s after wearing eye contacts/eyeglasses every day since high school.
- healed my uterine fibroid without invasive surgery.
- healed my son from severe eczema and any associated allergies to laundry detergents and foods.
It’s my passion to “troubleshoot” health issues for family and friends, and experimenting with ways to create tasty foods as medicine in my kitchen lab!
It’s YOUR TURN to take control of your health so that you can live life to its fullest!
