“You can figure out how to feed your body — you can actually burn fat all day long. We know this to be true. When we get into intermittent fasting, people are reaching out to me in the forum, having conversations about that five pounds they've been struggling with — and now taking it off. Their bodies are changing.”
Brooke Burke has been one of my dearest friends since our Malibu days. We bonded instantly over family, fitness, and purpose. Brooke's grace, strength, and humor inspire every woman navigating midlife with power and style.
Her testimonial in The Cruise Control Diet — calling herself my "body of evidence" — remains one of my proudest moments. I'm forever grateful for her friendship and belief in my mission.
Operation Smile
Some of my favorite nights with Brooke have had nothing to do with fitness. This photo is from a charity evening for children — the kind of work Brooke shows up for again and again — and it always brings me back to Operation Smile.
Operation Smile sends surgeons around the world to repair cleft lip and cleft palate in children who would otherwise go their whole lives without the surgery. It takes about 45 minutes. It changes how a child eats, speaks, breathes, and is treated by everyone around them — permanently. There are very few places where a donation converts that directly into a human life getting better.
Being even a small part of that world, alongside Brooke, has been one of the honors of my life. If this page does one useful thing today, let it be this: give to Operation Smile. A child somewhere gets a smile back.
