In this book, Victoria inspires young people, in a workshop like format, to improve their energy levels, immunity, health and happiness by analyzing which foods and life choices leave them feeling fatigued, stressed, unable to lose weight, suffering from poor skin and frequent coughs and colds. She describes lessons she learned first hand about taking care of ourselves, mind, body and soul.

At whatever time highly-skilled physicians shall have developed the healing of illnesses by means of foods, and shall make provision for simple foods, and shall prohibit humankind from living as slaves to their lustful appetites, it is certain that the incidence of chronic and diversified illnesses will abate, and the general health of all mankind will be much improved. This is destined to come about. - 'Abdu'l-Baha
