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.

Have you seen or had acorn squash before? These squashes look like huge acorns with their round plump globular shapes and even grooved ridges. They are often sold in bins at the grocery store with a dark green appearance, though they may appear in other colors, such as orange and white! If you’re new to the plant-based world, chances are you may not have had a chance yet to cook with this less known squash in your kitchen, or know much about it. It may even be one of those squashes that you have pushed your shopping cart by at the store and never even considered buying.
That’s why I want to spotlight acorn squash in today’s episode. They are a hidden gem in the squash world and many people don’t know just how nutritious they are…much less how to eat them. So, if you’re curious to find out more about this fall plant-based ingredient, listen in!

Have you been feeling a lack of control around food? If so, you’re not alone. That’s what my guest Winnona had been experiencing. Binge eating was a lifelong issue for her, and it occurred most often during the evenings while watching TV. But this ALL changed within a short period of time after she moved to a whole food plant-based diet. Not only that, she also enjoyed many other health benefits such as lower blood pressure readings, less aches and pains with menopause, and a 15-pound weight loss within 12 weeks of making this lifestyle change!
In this Guest Interview Part 2 with Winnona, we’ll learn more about her transition experience, the changes she experienced in her body, and also how eating this new way has impacted her 84-year-old mother living with her. You’ll definitely walk away motivated and inspired by her story!

What’s it like to have to deal with gut issues like stomach-aches, bloating and diarrhea constantly for most of your life… and then suddenly to have them disappear? That would be an amazing change, wouldn’t it? That’s what my guest Winnona experienced after moving to a plant-based diet. Prior to this dietary change, she had been dealing with a whole host of other health problems as well, including a skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes.
At the time of this interview, Winnona had been on a plant-based diet for less than 3 months, but she had already experienced numerous positive changes to her health and body as a result. Hear also about her experience on a keto diet for 8 months and how that affected her health-wise. Take a moment to listen to this Guest Interview part 1 and I know you’ll walk away inspired!

Even if you don’t have a cow’s milk food allergy, it’s hard to miss the fact that many commercially processed food products sold contain cow’s milk-based ingredients in them. That’s because dairy is commonly used by manufacturers to make many of their food products more appealing and taste better. Just think of butter cookies, milk chocolate bars, mac and cheese box kits, hot chocolate drink mixes, and goldfish crackers. Sometimes it seems like milk is used in nearly everything!
But when you’re trying to move into a full plant-based diet lifestyle or a vegan diet, navigating the commercial foods landscape can get tricky. That’s why I want to help. In this episode, I’ll show you how to easily spot common dairy-based ingredient terms on product packages with real-life examples. Let’s save you precious time and energy when grocery shopping, so you can move smoother and faster into a plant-powered lifestyle. Ready? Let’s dive in!

There’s a common concern I see among those wanting to start a plant-based diet lifestyle. And it’s this. It’s a fear that eating this way will cause them to seriously lack key nutrients, because they’re taking out meats, dairy, eggs and other animal-based foods from their meals. Do you have this fear too?
If so, iron might be one of those nutrients you are especially worried about when making this big lifestyle shift. Since meats are a source of iron, it’s natural then to be wondering, “Will eating plant-based make me end up with nutrient deficiencies and get health problems like iron deficiency anemia?”
Let’s talk about it. In this episode, we’ll look at the importance of iron for our bodies, how common iron deficiency anemia really is, and what the recent research is showing. That way, we can better answer this question. I’ll meet you on the inside!
