From our Fasting Retreat Attendees – in their own words
‘In the four months since the JSB Fasting Retreat I have fasted 36 hours every week and have lost all the inflammation and stiffness in my body that happened prior. I have stuck to an alkaline diet, I haven’t drunk coffee, life is on the up and I have certainly broken the cravings. I feel so much better’.
Jules, June 2020.
‘Since attending your fasting retreat I have been eating super clean. I feel healthier. I am off insulin. Half number of metformin and my sugar control has improved. My nurse was so impressed she has joined Jason’s website…’
Debbie, April 2020.
‘I’m a lot calmer and more focused than I was before the retreat. It really has changed so many things for me, when I map out our daily and weekly schedule now, I make sure I slot in time for meditation and work out when I will fast in advance. It’s all been very easy and achievable. I’ve even realised I don’t hate cooking! I’ve had an attitude adjustment and I’m enjoying kitchen time more these days so thank you so much’.
Megan, March 2020.
‘I have managed to do a one day fast for the past 3 weeks. The first one was quite straight forward. Managed it easily. I fasted yesterday and today I am feeling great! I have really cleaned my diet up and have also not had any coffee or alcohol since before the retreat weekend. I have made the sorghum salad and vitality salad. They were both a real hit at a BBQ I took them to. My family also really enjoyed the chickpea and potato curry recipe from the retreat too. I’m looking forward to getting the other recipes from the retreat. I am still enjoying the really positive vibe from the Retreat!’
Jo, March 2020.
‘I am at work eating Vitality salad with baked Tofu. So yum. Have bought a juicer and have juice every day. Done one day fast mid-week. Have made every meal we ate at your retreat camp at home. So yum. Meditating again. Exercising. Taking care to sleep enough. So grateful for the reset, for the reminder about why I’m vegetarian thanks Jason. Grateful for fab new recipes. Grateful for feeling better – many many thanks’.
Carole, March 2020.
‘Thank you so much for the wonderful DELICIOUS recipes I’m so excited and those salad dressings are AMAZING! I have enjoyed the most incredible Fasting Retreat weekend ever! From meeting awesome people to drinking green juices and broth on our Fasting day – Wow! Just never expected such fun and all the things we did to fill our day was absolutely fantastic thank you Tracey and Jason for being the most genuinely gracious compassionate enthusiastic couple and I can’t wait for the next Fasting Retreat! Thanks so much for everything’.
Ariana, Feb 2020.
‘Just wanted to thank you for a most informative weekend, both yourself and Jason were extremely gracious hosts and full of amazing ideas. I now have the information and knowledge I need to begin my journey to good health and longevity. I am also armed now with all the tools, juicer, rice cooker and sprouting jars. I am looking forward to my next fast and please keep me posted on further retreats’.
Iain, Feb 2020.
‘Engaging, confronting and actionable. My wife and I recently attended Tracey’s three-day fasting retreat. We were aware of the benefits of fasting but wanted to learn more on how we could incorporate this practice into our weekly routines. We got this and so much more; a great venue, great food (yes you do eat) with a group of 20 like-minded individuals all wanting to make improvements in our health and well-being; outstanding facilitating with time focused on sharing and group learning and your pace; confronting content in the seminars that clearly articulated the value of fasting and the impact it will have out our long term health and wellbeing; great recipes for juices, salads and even tofu (yes it can taste pretty delicious); a further bonus of a re-introduction to Yoga and Meditation. Since completing the course now 3 weeks ago I have complete seven days of juice fasting including a 5 day fast, broken my relationship with coffee and added meditation into my daily practice (well most days!). My energy levels have increased and I have dropped 3.5 kgs and it is easy we are not missing out on anything. If you are wanting to re-set you relationship with food and start taking care of your health and wellbeing, I would highly recommend you connect with Tracey and look to attend one of her retreats’.
Danny, June 2020.
‘It was so amazing to be part of your fasting retreat. What a fantastic bunch of people you brought together, which made for such an enjoyable weekend, and so much laughter! I loved the location too – so beautiful, green and peaceful. The lineup for the weekend with the combo of health seminars, yoga, meditation and massage really appealed to me right from the start, and the weekend didn’t disappoint in any way. I’ve been wanting to find out more about mediation for some time, and since the retreat I’ve added two twenty-minute sessions into my daily routine without much difficulty at all. It’s amazing how easy it is to find time, even in the busiest of days, when you prioritise your own peace of mind ahead of other tasks and distractions. The cooking demonstrations and Tracey’s food was sublime and a real highlight of the weekend. I love the recipes you’ve given us, thank you. We’ve read Jason’s books and heard his seminars several times, but it’s always good to have the message reinforced and hear about the latest research and somber statistics. I had been wanting to try fasting since I read ‘Eat Less, Live Long’ in 2015, but even though I finished breastfeeding in April 2018, I was apprehensive about how I would cope without food. I was in the habit of eating too much and too often and I found this hard to break. My biggest concern was whether I could fast and still handle the daily trials and tribulations of motherhood with 4 boys(!). The retreat was the perfect opportunity for me to get away and just focus on my heath for a whole weekend, with the added bonus of my husband for company and support. Thankfully the 36 hours fast on the retreat, and the weekly ones I’ve done since were nothing like I had envisaged. The retreat has fundamentally changed my relationship with food. Even on my non fasting days I’m now more disciplined about only eating at meal times, with fruit as snacks in between if needed, and stopping eating by 7pm every evening. An added bonus from the retreat has been seeing the weight I gained in the last couple of years just fall off without any real effort at all, and I’m loving fitting my summer clothes I couldn’t get into last year. I look forward to being part of one of your retreats in the future to try this out with your support and guidance. With heartfelt thanks and appreciation’.
Megan, March 2020.
‘I feel appreciation, rested, inspired, back on track, connected, motivated, empowered, at peace with freedom around food and fasting. It was inspirational, peaceful, calming, really fabulous, authentic, brave and courageous. It was about community, knowledge, connection, pulling it all together with clarity, a joy of commitment and everything is now awesome!’

ASTHMA
“Just want to thank you for getting my life back. I now have endless amounts of energy, I am fitter than I have ever been and surfing better than I ever have in 30 years. Tracey’s fantastic recipes makes it so easy as I absolutely adore the food. I feel incredible. My sleep has improved out of sight. At 132kg my goal was to get to 90kg and I am now happily at 72kg. My wife and I had been trying to fall pregnant for six years. We were going to start IVF this year however three months into your advice we fell pregnant naturally. Our first baby is due in three weeks! Also I’ve been a mild asthmatic all my life and that also disappeared and I have not had an attack since”
Steve.
“I had been on four different pills to control high blood pressure and high cholesterol, plus a drug for constant acid reflux. While following Jason’s advice I lost 29kg, went off all medication, I don’t snore anymore and my asthma is gone! I honestly believe Jason saved my life”
Lincoln.
“Since following your advice my asthma hasn’t been a problem. No need to take my blue inhaler at all. I haven’t been to the doctor in 7 months which am very proud of, as last year I was a regular visitor. My weight is now steady at 56kg for the last three months – I was over 66kg when I started!”
Lisa.
BLOOD PRESSURE/CHOLESTEROL
“It’s been a remarkable journey and life changing experience for me. You gave me the tools and knowledge I was missing to heal myself from chronic infections without using medicine or antibiotics. Last month when I visited my GP for general check-up, he was surprised to see my weight, blood pressure, blood results including cholesterol level and said “Wow!” Last visit my cholesterol reading was 5.5+ and now is below 4 and my blood pressure is normal. I feel great, full of energy, better concentration in my work and studies, my skin is pimple free and I have lost 15KGS and 10cm of waist. I am proud to say that I am totally FREE from meat, coffee, tea, and processed food… Thanks for the guidance, advice and wisdom. GOD bless you”
Mohammad.
“You may remember I shared my cholesterol readings with you and my plan to cut caffeine and alcohol, which I’ve mostly managed for the past three months. Did my readings again three months later: my cholesterol has reduced from 6.6 to 4.8, my LDL from 4.2 to 2.7, and my HDL from 1.96 to 1.78. I am so pleased with this as my mum kept telling me I’d have to go on statins (same as the doctor immediately advised her to do years ago) and that it was genetic and I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it! Yes! I did it! Clearly the ‘genetic expression’ Jason refers to is so true! You can tell I’m a little bit happy!”
Kathy.
“Hi Jason, Just a wee update working with my doctor I am down to half my statin (10mg) and no longer take beta blocker. I have had a round of blood tests and everything is normal. In 3 months’ time we will test again and then drop the half stain. Happy days! This plant-based wholefood lifestyle really works. Thank you for your advice”
Tom.
“Good news. Well it’s now just coming on two months. Yesterday I went to my doctor as I needed more medication for my blood pressure. The exciting news my blood pressure was 180 over 100 I’m now 148 over 84. How GOOD is that? I still have further to go but it’s so exciting to know I’m on the right track and that I will be able to toss all medication out. Yahoo!”
Brian.
“My weight has gone from 76kg down to 73kg down to 71kg down to 67kg down to 66kg down to 65kg and maintaining at the 64kg-65kg range! My blood pressure is the best it has ever been – from 120/80 down to 112/72! My cholesterol is down from 4.6 to 3.8”
Linda.
“I have just given blood today – nothing unusual in that – but I have struggled for years with my hemoglobin – bordering on the low side – dizzy when I stand/get out of bed etc. My Hb today was 137, which is excellent! How’s that for following your advice? Who says you need to eat red meat?”
Cath.
“Exercise is better this month Jason and made it below 64kg (started at 77kg), the GOOD NEWS is that I am completely off high blood pressure tablets, Vit B12 level is excellent and cholesterol ratio is 2.7 with HDL at 2.02. As you can guess, I am very pleased with myself but really and truly, without the knowledge that you and Tracey have imparted along the way, healthwise, life may have been a very different story”
Vicki.
“I had been on four different pills to control high blood pressure and high cholesterol, plus a drug for constant acid reflux. While following Jason’s advice I lost 29kg, went off all medication, I don’t snore anymore and my asthma is gone! I honestly believe Jason saved my life”
Lincoln.
“I have gone from almost 100kg to under 80kg and I am heading towards a normal BMI for the first time since my early 20s. My chronic hay fever is gone and I have taken no antihistamines for over 12 months. I have cured my chronic constipation, my haemorrhoids have disappeared and my blood pressure is back to normal. Tracey’s colourful quinoa salad and raw energy salad are like staple foods in our house now”
Maurice.
“I would like to let you know some results I’ve had. After 6 weeks I had to reduce one of my two blood pressure medications by 50% because my blood pressure was so low. I have almost reached my 3 month goal weight in two months”
Jane.
“Before taking Jason’s advice, I had high blood pressure and was on medication. Five plus months down the track, and a significant 65th birthday later, my blood pressure has returned to normal and I am off medication. My Doctor is delighted. Who would have thought I would reach this age feeling fit and well and medication free. My husband who is 6yrs younger, had trouble keeping up with me on a bush walk last evening even though he is lean and fit! You have given me my best birthday present ever, my health”
Joy.
CANCER
“Hi Jason, you may not remember my friend Sylvie who you met a few times at your talks in Napier. As of yesterday she is now the sole remaining member of a small group of cancer patients who underwent treatment together in Palmerston North about 5 and a half years ago. Sylvie adopted your plant-based lifestyle and fasted through her chemo rounds. She tried to talk to the others about food and fasting as a way of healing but it fell on deaf ears. Sylvie is a picture of health and is forever grateful to you and your JSB family for everything”
Brenda.
“Hi Jason, I had the final scan recently and I got the results this week. You will be pleased with yourself because I put it down largely to your diet which I’ve been following pretty rigidly. The outcome was that there has been no change for the worse since September when I had the first scan. The oncologist who was prepared to put me on chemo says they will wait for two more months and give me another scan. If things remain the same they will discharge me. Then she said I should ‘keep on doing what I’ve been doing’. You can imagine how I feel about that. And how grateful I am to you for taking me in hand. I’ll let you know how things progress, I’m very hopeful now. Cheers”
Joan, in her late 70s.
CONSTIPATION
“I have gone from almost 100kg to under 80kg and I am heading towards a normal BMI for the first time since my early 20s. My chronic hay fever is gone and I have taken no antihistamines for over 12 months. I have cured my chronic constipation, my haemorrhoids have disappeared and my blood pressure is back to normal. Tracey’s colourful quinoa salad and raw energy salad are like staple foods in our house now”
Maurice.
ENERGY
“Just want to thank you for getting my life back. I now have endless amounts of energy, I am fitter than I have ever been and surfing better than I ever have in 30 years. Tracey’s fantastic recipes makes it so easy as I absolutely adore the food. I feel incredible. My sleep has improved out of sight. At 132kg my goal was to get to 90kg and I am now happily at 72kg. My wife and I had been trying to fall pregnant for six years. We were going to start IVF this year however three months into your advice we fell pregnant naturally. Our first baby is due in three weeks! Also I’ve been a mild asthmatic all my life and that also disappeared and I have not had an attack since”
Steve.
“I just want to thank you for changing my life. I was dreading the advancing years as I seemed to be getting stiffer and stiffer in my joints, walking was an effort with each step. I now enjoy my daily walks, no more aches and pains, I have heaps more energy, have lost eight kgs without any deprivation at all and generally feel at least ten years younger. I am so grateful to you”
Jenny.
“I successfully completed my first day of fasting yesterday! What an achievement! Thanks to the info about fasting I felt that I was able to achieve this and I did! After 4 weeks the benefits are evident with my Husband who has lost 7 kgs! We are both sleeping so much better and have lots more energy. The mood swings do not happen anymore and I feel more on an even keel. The children are quite happy eating the food also. Thanks to your information and seminars I now believe that this has been a life changing choice for our family. Thanks Jason and Tracey we are looking forward to learning more from you both”
Shelley.
“I am fasting one day a week, the seminars I found most interesting and I walk and swim most days. I didn’t realise how much junk I was eating till JSB arrived into my life. I’m 65 years of age, six feet tall, I have stopped taking blood pressure medication and I now weigh just 78 kg. I am partaking in and completing 2 km sea swims, going on six week motorcycle trips in the USA, tending to our 1½ acre hillside property (that includes a vegetable garden and orchard), and I still have energy to spare. I can’t thank you guys enough”
Paul.
“Before taking Jason’s advice, I had high blood pressure and was on medication. Five plus months down the track, and a significant 65th birthday later, my blood pressure has returned to normal and I am off medication. My Doctor is delighted. Who would have thought I would reach this age feeling fit and well and medication free. My husband who is 6yrs younger, had trouble keeping up with me on a bush walk last evening even though he is lean and fit! You have given me my best birthday present ever, my health”
Joy.
“I am feeling far more healthy, energetic, fit and happy at 47 than I did at 21, and I don’t need my asthma medication. I don’t crave junk food. Once you have been exposed to what Jason has discovered, you will be empowered to be aware of how what you eat affects how you feel, and make adjustments and choices to enable you to get the most out of your life. There should be a warning saying, ‘Beware contains information that can leave you with EXPLOSIVE energy!”
David.
“I have lost 13kg and my husband has lost 16kg (eating my cooking!). I have given up alcohol, caffeine, meat, sugar, gluten and dairy but still eat occasional fish and seafood. We are both feeling great and have been fasting once a week since we started which makes a big difference. I use Tracey’s recipes all the time – they are awesome. So a huge ‘thank you’ to all of you for your support and help – it has been life changing for me and my husband”
Brigid.
“I started your advice on the 4th of June, so starting into my 3rd week. I feel so much better that I have felt in ages, more energy, my depression seems to have lifted, and just a lovely sense of wellbeing. I know I have a long way to go, but am just so delighted with the changes that are happening to me. I am amazed at the difference when no longer eating foods that are addictive or bad for me. I am beginning to look at food in a new light. I have so much to learn, but I really appreciate your articles and videos as they really help me. I love what I am creating from Tracey’s recipes”
Jean.
“I think the only major problem we both have is when people ask us about our weight loss and new found energy they always ask what ‘diet’ we are on, we both look at each other and laugh! It is a lot harder than we thought to share what we are doing with people without getting strange comments like “you guys are crazy” etc. Now we just tell them we have changed our lifestyle and that seams the easiest way to explain it all. It’s hard not to speak passionately about what we are doing but people are not always as excited to hear about it and can even become quite challenging on some topics! Even I find it hard to believe that we have nearly cut out all sugar, alcohol, wheat and animal products. The funny thing is when you eat healthy you don’t crave that stuff anymore. It’s the first ‘diet’ that hasn’t felt like we are depriving ourselves of anything. We will be seeing some family and friends in a few weeks’ time who have not seen my husband since before he lost the 14 kilos over the last three months… and he has never been so fit and active and happy. I know the reaction is going to be amusing to watch and some may even be interested enough to want to do it themselves…”
Heather.
FASTING
“Today is day 2 of the first juice fast my husband and I have done. We are amazed that it has been so easy. We have not yet felt hungry and actually feel quite energetic. It has really shown how much of our eating habits are purely habit… The only time we are actually thinking of food seems to be at the usual morning tea, lunch, etc. A freshly made juice is more than satisfying us. I urge anyone thinking about it to give it a go”
Ralf.
“As an overweight, over 40, divorced mother of two children I had been feeling a little past my ‘use by’ date. Now I feel so much better physically and mentally, and also confident that I have another 50 to 60 years of my life left, free of disease and illness, as long as I continue to look after myself. This gives me hope and makes me feel excited again about my future … I certainly wasn’t expecting that! The sheer volume of information — the blogs, articles, recipes — makes you feel safe and part of something bigger: a health revolution. There is always something good to eat — and if there’s not, just don’t eat! All the diets and eating plans I’ve encountered before have pushed eating five to six times a day, never going more than three hours without food for fear your already sluggish metabolism will grind to a halt. It’s been liberating to get off the food treadmill; to feel hungry again and to be actively encouraged to eat less and sometimes to eat nothing at all! Fasting — who would have thought that not eating for a whole day would feel like a vacation for the body?”
Donna.
“I had been wondering about this fasting gig when you talked about in at your seminar, and like most people thought – that sounds outrageous, hells bells – I’ll starve! Went to bed in total shock that after 37 years I had one day where I didn’t eat anything. And…..I survived. Heaven forbid. Thanks for all the great updates and words of wisdom. Makes total sense to me!”
Jane.
“Good news. Well it’s now just coming on two months since following your advice. I’ve taken part in fasting twice. Both one day fasts. Yesterday I went to my doctor as I needed more medication for my blood pressure. I’m now 85kg, I started the plan at 91kg. The exciting news my blood pressure was 180 over 100 I’m now 148 over 84. How GOOD is that?? I still have further to go but it’s so exciting to know I’m on the right track and that I will be able to toss all medication out. Yahoo!”
Brian.
“I am fasting one day a week, the seminars I found most interesting and I walk and swim most days. I didn’t realise how much junk I was eating till JSB arrived into my life.

I can’t thank you guys enough”
Paul.
“We are still thoroughly enjoying our food, fasting and extremely good health. Both my husband and I are now both off all medications and haven’t been ill since starting with your advice in June 2012. Aches and pains are gone, we are very active, no colds or flu, enjoying a 15.7kg weight loss, and at 67 years of age, life is rather fantastic thanks to you and Tracey”
Vicki.

Shelley.
“Thank you very much for a great and inspiring presentation on Wednesday. I’m a big fan of fasting, yoga and healthy food too. However my husband is completely the opposite of me. He was eating bad food and drinking a coffee and a coke a lot before. No matter how much I tried to change his diet nothing would help. I cooked only healthy food at home, but he eats a lot of junk when go out with friends/colleagues until he went to hospital with a serious condition three months ago. Since that his food habits have become much better but coffee and some little sweet treats continued to be a part of his diet. After your presentation he stopped drinking coffee and eating chocolate at all. He truly believes it is a very bad food for him now. I would like to THANK YOU once again for such a fantastic presentation which really makes a positive differences to people’s lives”
Olesya.
FERTILITY/PREGNANCY
“Just want to thank you for getting my life back. My wife and I had been trying to fall pregnant for six years. We were going to start IVF this year however three months into your advice we fell pregnant naturally. Our first baby is due in three weeks!”
Steve.
FOOD/COFFEE ADDICTION
“I did an experiment on Sunday and I was the guinea pig. I had a very strong cup of coffee. It’s been over seven months at least since I have had any coffee. After my drink, I felt the following: A cold sweat, racing heartbeat, clammy all over, could not focus on a single conversation very well, since my mind was racing through many different things, totally wired brain. After a few hours, I felt the come down. Felt flat, hollow. To think at one stage of my life, I used to drink sometimes 3 double espressos per day. On my off days, I used to get headaches. It took me a while to figure out, it was a caffeine headache”
Shane.
“I am so much happier, I feel like jumping out of my skin. Nothing changed with my health or my weight until I did a total turnaround with what I ate. The new foods also helped ditch a six-cup-a-day coffee addiction”.
Janette, 65, lowered her blood pressure from about 200/100 to 138/74, lost more than 8kg, while also completely stopping asthma medication, and she’s done it all from the confines of a wheelchair. Mount Maunganui, NZ.
“I am really noticing lots of small changes in my being and general contentment from changing what I eat. It is fascinating. I’m getting down to the things I am really addicted to after quite easily cutting out most gluten, meat and 80% of dairy. I have had comments from friends that I am looking great and seem more content. My partner mentioned that I’m more emotionally stable. I feel like I’m smiling from my eyes and enjoying simple things more”
Jess.
“For many years I had an out of control addiction to food, particularly junk food! Of course I have tried many different diets, plans, counselling etc but with no long lasting results. My doctor told me earlier this year that I was pre-diabetic. So 8 weeks ago I started following Jason’s advice. It took me about a month to get used to the different way of thinking about food but after only two months my energy levels have soared, my skin has cleared up – including a chronic skin infection, and I am starting to love it. I am sleeping better, I have dropped 10kgs so far and the best for me, my out of control cravings have all but gone!
Mmm, definitely worth the effort”
Cathy.
“Thank you very much for a great and inspiring presentation on Wednesday. I’m a big fan of fasting, yoga and healthy food too. However my husband is completely the opposite of me. He was eating bad food and drinking a coffee and a coke a lot before. No matter how much I tried to change his diet nothing would help. I cooked only healthy food at home, but he eats a lot of junk when go out with friends/colleagues until he went to hospital with a serious condition three months ago. Since that his food habits have become much better but coffee and some little sweet treats continued to be a part of his diet. After your presentation he stopped drinking coffee and eating chocolate at all. He truly believes it is a very bad food for him now. I would like to THANK YOU once again for such a fantastic presentation which really makes a positive differences to people’s lives”

HAPPIER
“I am really noticing lots of small changes in my being and general contentment from changing what I eat. It is fascinating. I’m getting down to the things I am really addicted to after quite easily cutting out most gluten, meat and 80% of dairy. I have had comments from friends that I am looking great and seem more content. My partner mentioned that I’m more emotionally stable. I feel like I’m smiling from my eyes and enjoying simple things more”
Jess.
“I am so much happier, I feel like jumping out of my skin. Nothing changed with my health or my weight until I did a total turnaround with what I ate. The new foods also helped ditch a six-cup-a-day coffee addiction”.
Janette, 65, lowered her blood pressure from about 200/100 to 138/74, lost more than 8kg, while also completely stopping asthma medication, and she’s done it all from the confines of a wheelchair. Mount Maunganui, NZ.
“I am feeling far more healthy, energetic, fit and happy at 47 than I did at 21, and I don’t need my asthma medication. I don’t crave junk food. Once you have been exposed to what Jason has discovered, you will be empowered to be aware of how what you eat affects how you feel, and make adjustments and choices to enable you to get the most out of your life. There should be a warning saying, ‘Beware contains information that can leave you with EXPLOSIVE energy!”
David.
“I started your advice on the 4th of June, so starting into my 3rd week. I feel so much better that I have felt in ages, more energy, my depression seems to have lifted, and just a lovely sense of wellbeing. I know I have a long way to go, but am just so delighted with the changes that are happening to me. I am amazed at the difference when no longer eating foods that are addictive or bad for me. I am beginning to look at food in a new light. I have so much to learn, but I really appreciate your articles and videos as they really help me. I love what I am creating from Tracey’s recipes”
Jean.
“Before taking Jason’s advice, I had high blood pressure and was on medication. Five plus months down the track, and a significant 65th birthday later, my blood pressure has returned to normal and I am off medication. My Doctor is delighted. Who would have thought I would reach this age feeling fit and well and medication free. My husband who is 6yrs younger, had trouble keeping up with me on a bush walk last evening even though he is lean and fit! You have given me my best birthday present ever, my health”
Joy.
HAYFEVER
“I have gone from almost 100kg to under 80kg and I am heading towards a normal BMI for the first time since my early 20s. My chronic hay fever is gone and I have taken no antihistamines for over 12 months. I have cured my chronic constipation, my haemorrhoids have disappeared and my blood pressure is back to normal. Tracey’s colourful quinoa salad and raw energy salad are like staple foods in our house now”
Maurice.
INSPIRATION
“I am a GP and attended your Jason Shon Bennett conference in Gisborne. I am moving back to USA early next month. Thank you, this is quite amazing what you do and in helping many people. The more people that can benefit of your lifestyle the better off the world will be. I look forward to your emails/blogs/articles/support”
Dr. Sirpa.
“I was at the seminar last night, I just wanted to re-state how great that talk was last night; informative, entertaining and overall just a simple yet powerful message – awesome! I live in Melbourne and I have read a number of nutritional books and boy, there is so many bloody different opinions, but what you mentioned really feels right and plus I enjoy how you often referenced mainstream science. I find it simply amazing this knowledge and wished they had taught this at school! Keep up the great work, helping others with their help the way you are going about it, is an awesome cause!”
Luke.
“I have been following Jason’s advice for a year and have enjoyed every single day of it. Every week it is inspirational, exciting and tasty and there is always something new. The best part for me is Jason’s continual articles and his impeccable research backing up absolutely everything he recommends. I can honestly say that this has been the best thing I have ever done for my life!”
Dan.
“The wisdom of your life-enhancing approach to food as medicine continues to reverberate in my thinking, echoing, confirming and building upon what I already understand (but at times have not always followed). Tracey, your recipes are wonderful and I continue to enjoy making my favourites and experimenting with those still new to me amongst those you sent out. There is so much information ‘out there’ and it is sharing our passion with one another that awareness of choice is aroused within us, thus leading to the making of informed life-giving changes. You are both a conduit for encouraging change and your passion is inspirational”
Sue.
“I wanted to tell you about my Sixty year old nephew who came from Sydney to stay. I lent him your book and he’s a new man. Fasting, eating a whole food diet and not drinking. Everyone over there is amazed”
Joan.
“You have created something so easy to get involved in. It’s powerful, it’s positive and it is so supportive. One thing I love so much is that over your lifetime you have transformed your experience of serious challenge into a life of thriving and glowing health, and you continue to take that possibility further to more and more people. You are a very generous and inspiring man. Tracey’s recipes are delicious and the video seminars are gold!”
Jude.
“I have begun in a small way. I had the best night’s sleep last evening because I have been drinking water, eating from the 2 recipes given, the smoothie and the wonderful, wonderful chili. What a difference when no bread or meat is eaten, two days and I feel the benefits. Not sluggish, my mind is already clearer. Ta for being you and having the forward thinking to do what you are doing”
Lynley.
“I was stagnating, in body and mind. Without a clear head and healthy body, I wonder if I ever would have… With you guys for support and my determined focus, I’m changing not only my body, mind and spirit, but now my entire lifestyle as well. You achieve incredible things for so many. Truly inspirational”
Cheree.
“It has been a life changing experience and I think I am ‘weller’ than I have been in a very long time. The whites of my eyes are white again and I am well in the healthy weight range for my height. Thank you guys for the knowledge and amazing recipes to assist me on my journey. I will recommend you to all”
Andrea.
“I went to another one of your seminars at Western Springs recently, as always, extremely informative and inspiring. The first time I brought my boyfriend and he gave up drinking coffee at work the following week! (From drinking 1-2 every single day). This time I found cheap flights and flew my dad up from Wellington to come see you. He has vowed to decrease his sugar intake and get his sleeping habits in order ???? So that is pretty awesome!”
Renee.

MEDICATIONS
“I attended your seminar in Taupo and took in all your information and what a great change it has made to my life. At your seminar I was 72kg and now I am 58kg. I was needing a knee replacement so I was on Naprosyn twice daily and a codeine phosphate at night. I no longer take these pills and only have the odd pain killer if needed, maybe only once a week. My blood pressure is also reduced and I am slowly reducing the medication for that. No knee replacement needed at this time. My doctor said whatever I am doing I must carry on. I visited a friend today and she said I was looking really great. Thank you very much for changing my life. At 64 it’s so great to be feeling and looking so good”
Lyn.
“My health is very good now. When I see most of my friends swallowing down their hand full of pills with their breakfast I feel very lucky… The weight has just dropped off so I’m feeling a lot happier with myself. I have made and enjoyed most of Tracey’s recipes. I must tell you how good it is not to have to carry a hanky with me at all times for a runny nose, I didn’t realise it was the dairy!!”
Carole.
“It’s been a remarkable journey and life changing experience for me. You gave me the tools and knowledge I was missing to heal myself from chronic infections without using medicine or antibiotics. Last month when I visited my GP for general check-up, he was surprised to see my weight, blood pressure, blood results including cholesterol level and said “Wow!” Last visit my cholesterol reading was 5.5+ and now is below 4 and my blood pressure is normal. I feel great, full of energy, better concentration in my work and studies, my skin is pimple free and I have lost 15KGS and 10cm of waist. I am proud to say that I am totally FREE from meat, coffee, tea, and processed food… Thanks for the guidance, advice and wisdom. GOD bless you”
Mohammad.
“I had been on four different pills to control high blood pressure and high cholesterol, plus a drug for constant acid reflux. While following Jason’s advice I lost 29kg, went off all medication, I don’t snore anymore and my asthma is gone! I honestly believe Jason saved my life”

RECIPES
“Just wanted to say to you both how much I am LOVING the recipes and information you are providing! My husband is delighted with the meals he is getting and I think feels like he has a new wife in the KITCHEN! I feel blessed that he is into this way of eating too! Kids are starting to get there too and we have eradicated all sweet stuff at home in baking etc and they like the alternative baking treats I have been doing. Would be so neat to see this education in schools!”

Jude.
“I have lost 13kg and my husband has lost 16kg (eating my cooking!). I have given up alcohol, caffeine, meat, sugar, gluten and dairy but still eat occasional fish and seafood. We are both feeling great and have been fasting once a week since we started which makes a big difference. I use Tracey’s recipes all the time – they are awesome. So a huge ‘thank you’ to all of you for your support and help – it has been life changing for me and my husband”

“Just want to thank you for getting my life back. I now have endless amounts of energy, I am fitter than I have ever been and surfing better than I ever have in 30 years. Tracey’s fantastic recipes makes it so easy as I absolutely adore the food. I feel incredible. My sleep has improved out of sight. At 132kg my goal was to get to 90kg and I am now happily at 72kg. My wife and I had been trying to fall pregnant for six years. We were going to start IVF this year however three months into your advice we fell pregnant naturally. Our first baby is due in three weeks! Also I’ve been a mild asthmatic all my life and that also disappeared and I have not had an attack since”

SKIN IMPROVED
“For many years I had an out of control addiction to food, particularly junk food! Of course I have tried many different diets, plans, counselling etc but with no long lasting results. My doctor told me earlier this year that I was pre-diabetic. So 8 weeks ago I started following Jason’s advice. It took me about a month to get used to the different way of thinking about food but after only two months my energy levels have soared, my skin has cleared up – including a chronic skin infection, and I am starting to love it.

Mmm, definitely worth the effort”

“Jason just gets better with age. I am sure he looks younger and MORE vibrant every time I see him. Upon looking at a photo of Jason and his 21-year-old-son I embarrassingly could not tell who was father and who was son!”

“I successfully completed my first day of fasting yesterday! What an achievement! Thanks to the info about fasting I felt that I was able to achieve this and I did! After 4 weeks the benefits are evident with my Husband who has lost 7 kgs! We are both sleeping so much better and have lots more energy. The mood swings do not happen anymore and I feel more on an even keel. The children are quite happy eating the food also. Thanks to your information and seminars I now believe that this has been a life changing choice for our family. Thanks Jason and Tracey we are looking forward to learning more from you both”
Shelley.
WEIGHT LOSS
“I followed your great advice about feeling sluggish and other suggestions, and have felt great since, and also dropped 25kgs! A huge change of life! Keep up the great work”
Maxine.
“I saw 77kg on the scales today, I haven’t seen that for 12 years”
Iain.
“Forgot the make my complaint, my clothes don’t fit anymore…all winter clothes are loose and baggy, will have to go shopping and get new ones!!!
Hilde.
“I used to just accept the tiredness, diarrhea and bleeding gums as a normal part of life but now I know it isn’t. I have yo-yoed with my weight all my life but I have finally broken the cycle and turned a corner. From over 106 kg to 73 kg and stable, I have lost 33 kgs and I now have the tools and knowledge to keep it off, which is a first for me … Nobody can believe the transformation in me! Jason, all I can say is wow, what an amazing job you are doing getting the message about health, diet and wellness out there. Your passion and enthusiasm comes through every time and it is so infectious that you just want to have a slice of it. It has exceeded my expectations and I think the whole world needs to know about it! Thank you, thank you, thank you”
Liko.
“In February I weighed the heaviest I had ever been, was addicted to V drinks, coffee, sugar and takeaways. Nowadays, thanks to you, I am caffeine-, dairy-, red meat-, gluten-, and processed food- and sugar-free! My husband and I have both lost 9kg each so far and for the first time ever I feel in control of my relationship with food! Thank you so much for showing me a healthy way to live!”
Megan.
“I think the only major problem we both have is when people ask us about our weight loss and new found energy they always ask what ‘diet’ we are on, we both look at each other and laugh! It is a lot harder than we thought to share what we are doing with people without getting strange comments like “you guys are crazy” etc. Now we just tell them we have changed our lifestyle and that seams the easiest way to explain it all. It’s hard not to speak passionately about what we are doing but people are not always as excited to hear about it and can even become quite challenging on some topics! Even I find it hard to believe that we have nearly cut out all sugar, alcohol, wheat and animal products. The funny thing is when you eat healthy you don’t crave that stuff anymore. It’s the first ‘diet’ that hasn’t felt like we are depriving ourselves of anything. We will be seeing some family and friends in a few weeks’ time who have not seen my husband since before he lost the 14 kilos over the last three months… and he has never been so fit and active and happy. I know the reaction is going to be amusing to watch and some may even be interested enough to want to do it themselves…”
Heather.
“I just want to thank you for changing my life. I was dreading the advancing years as I seemed to be getting stiffer and stiffer in my joints, walking was an effort with each step. I now enjoy my daily walks, no more aches and pains, I have heaps more energy, have lost 8kgs without any deprivation at all and generally feel at least ten years younger. I am so grateful to you”
Jenny.
“I had been on four different pills to control high blood pressure and high cholesterol, plus a drug for constant acid reflux. While following Jason’s advice I lost 29kg, went off all medication, I don’t snore anymore and my asthma is gone! I honestly believe Jason saved my life”

Linda.
“We are still thoroughly enjoying our food, fasting and extremely good health. Both my husband and I are now both off all medications and haven’t been ill since starting with your advice in June 2012. Aches and pains are gone, we are very active, no colds or flu, enjoying a 15.7kg weight loss, and at 67 years of age, life is rather fantastic thanks to you and Tracey”

“I would like to let you know some results I’ve had. After 6 weeks I had to reduce one of my two blood pressure medications by 50% because my blood pressure was so low. I have almost reached my 3 month goal weight in two months”
Jane.
“I am fasting one day a week, the seminars I found most interesting and I walk and swim most days. I didn’t realise how much junk I was eating till JSB arrived into my life. I’m 65 years of age, six feet tall, I have stopped taking blood pressure medication and I now weigh just 78 kg. I am partaking in and completing 2 km sea swims, going on six week motorcycle trips in the USA, tending to our 1½ acre hillside property (that includes a vegetable garden and orchard), and I still have energy to spare. I can’t thank you guys enough”

There is a vast amount of evidence that eating a plant-based wholefood diet lowers, and in some cases, reverses, heart disease and hypertension. This has been shown in the fasting studies, the chicken studies, the saturated fats studies, the fibre studies, the plant-based eating studies, and of course, the meat-is-directly-linked-to-heart-disease studies.
Nutrition Report: An Evaluation of NCD Prevention Research in the United States on Human Health
Global Morbidity Burden Report 2008
A healthy plant-based diet is simply mostly eating ‘plant-based wholefoods’ – such as apples rather than apple juice – as these are plant foods in their natural state, unrefined, and with their natural fibres, antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins and minerals intact. Eat mostly plant foods, mostly wholefoods, and you receive the benefits, as the centenarian cultures do:
