Plant Based Eating Made Easy | Simple Strategies & Clear Nutrition Guidance to Transform Your Health | Dietitian, Plant-Based Diet
**Top 1% Global Ranking Podcast** Hi Friend, Are you tired of waking up every morning to the same health problems, aches and pills, or have seen loved ones suffer from chronic diseases and want to change your path? You’re now plant-based curious or ready to start your transition, but that’s where you’re stuck. You don’t know how you’ll move away from a carnivore-style diet with meat-heavy mains, and wonder if this change is even DOABLE with a busy schedule working, taking care of the home, or looking after grandkids. You’ve tried to research online but find the flood of information and new plant-based terms overwhelming, and don’t know what’s credible. What’s really plant-based and what’s not? Most of all, you’re afraid it’ll be expensive, you’ll lack nutrients like protein and that it’ll take hours in the kitchen to make bland tasteless meals. If this sounds like you, I want you to know that you’re in the right place! Welcome to the ‘Plant Based Eating Made Easy’ podcast. I’m your host, Anna - a master’s level plant-based Registered Dietitian and Transition Coach - with 20 years of dietetics experience. I’m also the Founder of PlantNourished and an award-winning recipe creator. I’ve watched friends and close loved ones suffer and families torn apart by health problems like sudden heart attacks and cancer. Diabetes, high blood pressure, multiple cancer diagnoses, and heart problems all run in my extended family. And having gone through my own plant-based diet transition feeling lost with no guidance or support, I know just HOW challenging this transition can be – especially if you’ve been used to a ‘meat and potatoes’ diet for most of your life. But through my transition experience, I’ve now developed a simpler and easier method to move to plant-based eating – one that I can’t wait to share with you! I’m on a MISSION to simplify plant-based eating for you so you can transform your health the stress-free way. This podcast will give you top tips, simple strategies, uncomplicated recipes and real-life guidance so you can easily begin a plant-powered lifestyle. I’ll address potential transition challenges, and provide clear nutrition guidance from my plant-based dietitian expertise, so you can fast-track your way to thriving health. I’ll give you practical solutions on how to make a seamless transition along with inspiration, motivation and real-life stories to show you the health benefits that a whole food plant-based lifestyle can bring. I’m here to help you gain more energy to keep up with the grandchildren, drop unwanted pounds, optimize your nutrition and regain your health through whole plant-based foods. Together we’ll build you a life with less chronic disease, pills and side effects, so you can truly live your BEST life now with the people you love. So, if you’re tired of going at it alone, and are ready for clear guidance and straight talk, grab your favorite cup of tea or pop me in your earbuds as you walk, and let’s dive into the amazing world of whole plant-based foods together. Moving from a heavy meat-and-processed-foods diet to better health shouldn’t be difficult or complicated. Let me show you how doable and stress-free moving to plant-based eating can be!

Can you eat fruit with diabetes? Fruit is often seen to contain lots of sugar and carbs, so many people are afraid to eat them. You may have even noticed your blood sugars getting high when you snack on an orange. So, what’s the truth on this?Yes, moving to plant-based eating can help your body in so many ways, like lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and even weight loss.

In this episode, I’ll show you that yes, you CAN have your fruit and eat it…and research is showing that there can even be benefits to your blood sugars by including them in your meals.

Are you wanting to make a lifestyle change but don’t know where to get the nutrients you need if you eat plant-based? There are so many vitamins out there, like vitamin D, C, B12, A, K, E and minerals like calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc. Do you need supplements for them or can you get them from food? The problem is… there’s so much information and conflicting advice on the Internet, that’s it’s impossible not to feel lost and confused. You want to eat right – but why does it seem so hard?!If that’s how you’re feeling, I want to help. In this episode, let’s take one of these nutrients -B12 – and break it down. Let’s look to see if this is a nutrient you’ll need to be mindful of, and whether just getting it through food sources would suffice. So, if you’re looking for answers and clear nutrition guidance, listen in!
