Maye has received the highest recognition as a dietitian in three different countries. She is an expert in maintaining well-being through a balanced nutritious diet. We were surprised to find out that, having been a supermodel all her life, Maye is not genetically slim. She is a very disciplined eater who follows a vegetarian diet at home, but she would also eat seafood and other kinds of meat when eating outside. According to Maye, if she didn't watch her diet, she'd gain weight very easily and lose lots of energy. "It doesn't feel very good when your clothes no longer fit", she laughed.

It is the title of one of the chapters in Maye's best-selling book, A Woman Makes A Plan. When answering the question from the audience about the most memorable "yes" she had ever said, Maye said it was the decision to move to Canada alone with three kids. All four of them had to sleep on the carpet at the beginning because they had so little money back then there was no money left to buy furniture after renting the apartment. We could imagine it must have been a difficult time for them, but Maye was cheerful and laughed about it when she shared these struggling stories from the past. If not for this big decision, she wouldn't have the opportunity to raise her three children - Elon, Kimbal, and Tosca - in a healthy, toxic-free environment.
