HEALTHY CHOCOLATE
For many years, Julia Crouch was living a dream - married to a handsome British man, living in a
beautiful English village, with an international job that allowed her to travel to many exotic places.
When her son was born 22 years ago, she and her husband decided to move back home to Whatcom
County to be near her family. All was well for ten years. Then, suddenly her mother died of a heart
attack. A year later, her husband of cancer. The next year, two of her son's neighborhood playmates
were killed in a gas pipeline explosion and her father was found dead in the mountains during a solo
camping trip. This sudden and unexpected avalanche of grief left Julia in survival mode and just going
through the motions of her life. When her son began struggling with suicidal thoughts, she knew she
had to take charge of herself and began looking for natural ways to improve her health. She wanted to
become stronger for herself and her son.
When she heard about the healthy chocolate, she thought it sounded too good to be true but was willing
to give it a try. She began letting it melt in her mouth three times a day and was amazed at the changes:
her carbohydrate cravings ceased, her mood lifted dramatically, and she slept deeply for the first time in
years. Her neighbors said they watched Julia "come back alive" and her naturopath has nicknamed her
Vitamin J! Julia eventually lost nearly 20 pounds and has never looked back!
Her company, Julia's Healthy Chocolate, promotes this healthy, unprocessed, cold-pressed high
antioxidant dark chocolate with added acai berries and blueberries. It is a whole food - nutritious and
delicious chocolate which is available in eight different varieties. Visit www.juliaschocolate.com to learn
