A Purified Lifestyle by Amanda Nicole Smith

Hello Beautiful People,

I'm so glad you're here.

My purpose is simple: to help you find your rhythm — a lifestyle that flows with the seasons, supports your health, and brings you peace.

Purified Lifestyle

Purified (adj.) — free from excess, simplified to essentials.
Lifestyle (n.) — the daily choices that shape how we live, move, eat, rest, and grow.

WHO I AM

I’ve lived through both extremes — chaos and order, depletion and vitality.
I’m peaceful and intense, quiet and bold, grounded and curious.

I am a student and a teacher, always refining, always learning.

I love time with my family. I love moving my body — dancing, stretching, waterskiing, snowboarding, hiking. I love creating — cooking, gardening, organizing, building websites. I love nature, soulful music, books, and meaningful conversations. I’ve built my lifestyle to make space for these things.

WHAT I DO

MY LIFESTYLE

For years, I was sick, tired, and searching. No doctor could explain why.
I was inflamed, exhausted, and disconnected from my body’s needs.

That all changed in 2011. I stripped everything back to the simplest version of nourishment: raw, whole, vibrant foods. From there, I slowly rebuilt — adding, testing, observing. Today, my diet is about rhythm, not rigid rules. I follow nature’s seasons and my body's signals.

  • I eat mostly raw, fermented, and plant-based, but remain flexible.
  • I prioritize hydration, herbal teas, mineral-rich foods, and seasonal variety.
  • I avoid processed foods, artificial ingredients, and chemical-laden products.
  • I use natural oils and herbs in my daily care routines.
  • I move daily — outdoors whenever possible — using nature as my gym.

It's not about extremes or perfection. It's about creating a sustainable way of living that supports my energy, my work, my family, and my passions.

A BRIEF HISTORY

When I first started, I dove into raw veganism overnight. It was radical, healing, and eye-opening. Over time, I refined my approach into something more sustainable — blending knowledge from nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and old-world wisdom.

I learned to respect the body’s natural cycles — how food, movement, rest, and emotion all work together. That’s what I now teach through Purified Lifestyle: a balanced system of living that adapts with you.

If I’ve learned anything, it’s this: simplicity is powerful, rhythm is healing, and balance is the foundation for everything.

Much Love,
Amanda Nicole Smith
