AboutJanet Podleski
"You may know me as the fun- and pun-loving Looneyspoons cookbook author and Food Network Canada TV host." But what you might not know is that for the past 15 years, I’ve been quietly geeking out on the leading edge of natural health and energy medicine.
After overcoming my own complex health challenges, I followed my gut (and my heart!) into the fascinating world of mind-body energy medicine.
My mission is still the same: to help you live healthier, happier, longer and stronger. Only now, I’ve got some pretty amazing tools that go way beyond food.
Same wit, new wisdom... and still making health easier to digest. Looneyspoons was just the appetizer. This is the main course!
For 30 years, Janet's been a wellness trailblazer, inspiring millions to improve their eating habits and their lives!

Inspiring others to transform their health is what fires me up. It's what I'm here for. It's who I am. And yes, I'm still the same quirky cookbook sister whose smiling face sits next to your toaster!
Background
Janet is the co-author, along with her sister Greta, of four blockbuster #1 national bestselling cookbooks: Looneyspoons; Crazy Plates; Eat, Shrink & Be Merry; and The Looneyspoons Collection. She also co-hosted the popular Food Network Canada TV show, Eat, Shrink & Be Merry, and created an award-winning line of healthy prepared foods sold in grocery stores across Canada.
With over 2 million books sold, Janet and her sister are among Canada’s all-time bestselling authors. Their first cookbook, Looneyspoons, became one of the fastest-selling books in Canadian publishing history, with an astonishing 900,000 copies sold. It spent an incredible 85 weeks on the national bestseller list and 8 months at the #1 spot. Not bad for a couple of sisters who self-published out of their basement after being rejected by all publishers. From cellar to bestseller!
The sisters and their inspirational success story have been featured on hundreds of media outlets across North America, and their entrepreneurial venture is studied in Canadian university marketing textbooks to this day!
From Pots, Pans & Puns to Purpose, Power & Possibility!
You know, I've had a pretty celebrated career teaching people what to eat. But behind the bestselling cookbooks, TV cameras and "good food, good health and good fun," I was living one heck of a second act – building on decades of knowledge while navigating a blockbuster health adventure of my own.
Passionate and inspired, I dove head- and heart-first into energy medicine, mind-body science, quantum physics, ancient healing wisdom and intuition, adding layer upon fascinating layer to everything I already understood about food, nutrition and the human body. Talk about continuing education!
Don't get me wrong – what we eat matters. Huge! But my own experience taught me that true, lasting health isn't always just about food. Sometimes, the difference between wellness and illness isn't about what you're eating. It's about what's eating you! Sometimes there's more to the story.
The Leap to Master Practitioner!
In 2010, serendipity guided me to the world of energy medicine – quite by accident – through an advanced system called BodyTalk. That unexpected discovery inspired years of study, led me to pursue a PhD in Natural Medicine at the International Quantum University for Integrative Medicine in Honolulu (still in progress!) and eventually to something that felt like "home."
During a winter getaway to California in 2018, I was introduced to BodyIntuitive, a new and pioneering mind-body energy medicine system that blends modern science and ancient wisdom in a way that has never been done before: precise, personal and profound. I was blown away by its ability to uncover deeper patterns behind complex, chronic conditions and support the body's return to harmony. It was love at first session!
Today, as a #1 bestselling author, Registered Holistic Nutritionist and BodyIntuitive Master Practitioner, I bring three decades of experience and a unique perspective shaped by living nine lives (and then some!) to every single client I work with. And as your Cheerleader of Possibility, you can count on one more thing: an unwavering belief in your body's ability to surprise you. It's always known how to heal!
