The Living Library
Everything I have ever written lives in one place now.
The Living Library is the complete Well by Larissa collection, eleven guides in one, covering how you eat, how you cook, how you heal, how your hormones function, how you care for your skin, and how you keep a home that works with your body instead of against it. It is the whole foundation, not just one piece of it.
Here is what's inside:
Warm Mornings starts with the one habit that changes everything, a warm mineral drink before anything else touches your stomach. From there it walks you through the kind of breakfasts your great grandmother would recognize, soft eggs poached in bone broth, warm porridges finished in butter and honey, savory congee and kitchari, and heartier options built around liver, beef, and sweet potato for the mornings that need more staying power.
The Warm Table picks up where Warm Mornings leaves off and covers the rest of your day. It walks through the soup course that should start every lunch, ten hearty main dishes drawn from Czech, Greek, Hungarian, and Central European tradition built for the midday meal when your digestion is strongest, and simple light dinners meant to be eaten early enough for your body to finish digesting before it shifts into repair overnight.
The Broth Bible is the deep dive into the single most foundational ancestral food there is. It covers why broth shows up in nearly every traditional food culture on earth, why it matters specifically for women's hormones and gut lining, which bones to use and where to find them, and the master method that takes the guesswork out of getting a proper gel every time, plus a postpartum recovery broth for the season of life when your body needs it most.
The Ancestral Kitchen is where you learn to cook the way humans did for thousands of years, informed by the research of Weston A. Price and the work of Sally Fallon Morell. It covers stocking a proper pantry, rendering traditional fats, seasoning cast iron, mastering fermentation, working with organ meats and raw dairy, nose to tail cooking, and a full sourdough deep dive, closing with complete ancestral meal recipes and a plan for building these habits in without overhauling your whole kitchen at once.
The Ancestral Apothecary brings together traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, and European folk herbalism into one herbal reference, organized the way a clinical herbalist actually thinks. Each chapter covers herbs for a different system of the body, your hormones and cycle, fertility and preconception, your nervous system, digestion, and immunity, with real formulations and recipes woven throughout and a clear safety icon on every herb so you always know what you're working with.
Living Nourished is your ancestral guide to gut health, built around the idea that your gut is not a modern problem needing a modern supplement stack. It explains what actually damaged the modern gut, why fermented foods and bone broth functioned as medicine long before anyone called it gut health, and gives you a full healing protocol with recipes, drinks, and a 30 day plan.
Living Hormonally is the guide to actually understanding your hormonal system instead of just managing its symptoms. It covers how your hormones work from the ground up, what disrupted them, and how to support estrogen dominance, your thyroid, your adrenals, and blood sugar through food and rhythm, with dedicated sections for PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and fertility, plus a symptom decoder and a 30 day hormonal rhythm plan.
Iron & Blood is for the fatigue, brain fog, and cold hands so often written off as just being tired. It explains what anemia actually is, the full range of signs you might be low, the real difference between heme and non-heme iron, and gives you a complete blood building food chart, wisdom from traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, a sample meal plan, and a daily timing guide to get the most from every bite.
Living Radiant treats your skin as the honest messenger it actually is, instead of something to cover up with the next serum. It covers the real biology of skin, hair, and nails, the gut and hormone connections most beauty content skips entirely, the fat soluble vitamins and collagen building blocks your skin depends on, and the traditional beauty rituals cultures relied on long before skincare aisles existed, closing with a non-toxic swap guide and DIY recipes.
Living Clean walks through the body burden most of us are carrying without realizing it, the accumulation of small exposures from cookware, cleaning products, personal care, and bedding that add up over years. It goes room by room through your home in the priority order that matters most, so you are never left guessing where to start, and ends with a full non-toxic swap guide and a 30 day reset built to help you transition without overwhelm.
Living Ancestrally is organized the way your ancestors actually lived, by season rather than by symptom. Each of the four seasons gets its own body science, traditions from around the world, rituals, recipes, and a full lifestyle guide with a shopping list, so you can move through the year the way traditional cultures did instead of living the same way in July as you do in January.
Bought one by one, these eleven guides would run you $165. The Living Library gives you the entire collection for $77, with a welcome letter up front and a full table of contents so you can find whatever you need the moment you need it.
This is not a diet. It is not a set of rules to follow perfectly or abandon in guilt when you don't. It is the information our grandmothers carried without ever needing to write it down, gathered into one place so you don't have to go looking for it the way I did.
Instant digital download as a PDF. Yours the moment you check out.
