"reminders when healing:
consistency counts
patience over speed
be gentle with yourself
it won't happen overnight
new habits equal a new life
there will be ups and downs
the seeds we plant will bloom"

Hi everyone and welcome!
I hope you’re here to get inspired and perhaps learn a few simple things you can
do to feel energized, happy, healthy, and overall really well through plant-based
eating. Whether you try one yummy recipe, learn a few simple health tips, or find
yourself completely transitioning to a plant-based diet, you’ve visited the
right place. I’m a big believer in every little step can create huge change. I’m also
a big believer that every single person is their own special individual and not one
diet is right for everyone. That’s why everyone is welcome here. That said, while
every single person on our planet has unique nutritional requirements, we all can
benefit from turning towards whole plant-based foods. Whether you want to start
incorporating more plants into your diet, try Meatless Mondays, learn more about
optimizing your current plant-based diet, or simply just curious about how adding
more plant-based foods can help — it’s all good! Take a look around the Wellness
Blog or search for some recipes to get started.
Some of the ways plant-based eating has been shown to help with health include:
-
Fight and reverse heart disease
-
Lower cholesterol
-
Lower blood pressure
-
Control blood sugar and reverse diabetes
-
Prevent and reverse certain cancers
-
Lose weight
-
Improve autoimmune disorder symptoms
-
Improve cognition
-
Delay the onset of Alzheimer's
-
Improve endurance
-
Fight inflammation
-
Help with depression
-
Improve mood
-
Improve sleep
-
And so much more!
A few simple tips to get you started:
-
Take it slow. Try adding one or two vegetables into your meals this week, experiment with one new plant-based recipe, or swap out a meat protein with plant-based protein this week.
-
Establish one or two simple and attainable goals a week — small steps can lead to big changes and a lifetime of healthy habits.
-
Join the purely planted communities on Facebook and Instagram, where we have additional conversations around plant-based eating, general health, and nutrition inspiration (oh, and the occasional cute animal or pet story!).
