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!

What’s the biggest killer in the world? No, it’s not war, cancer, accidents or environmental disasters like wildfires or earthquakes. It’s heart disease. Heart disease is the #1 killer in the world AND in the United States. You may not be surprised by this. It’s likely that you already have heart problems or know a close loved one or friend who has suffered from a heart attack. The question is, can something be done about it? And can changing the way we eat really benefit our heart?
The answer is ‘YES’, it definitely can! In this episode, let’s talk about heart disease and how plant-based eating can help improve your or a loved one’s heart health, prevent heart disease and even lower the risk of future heart attacks.

Walk into any grocery store, and it’s natural to assume that most of the products being sold on shelves around us would be free from animal-based ingredients – such as cookies, soups, canned beans, noodles and breads. These are not in the refrigerated meats section and don’t seem to be made with fish, beef, pork, or poultry, so they’re obviously vegan or 100% plant-based, right?
Wrong. Manufacturers can turn animal-based fats and proteins into many forms, so many commercially processed food products can contain animal-derived ingredients. And it’s often without us realizing it, UNLESS we know where and what to look for.
That’s why I wanted to do this episode. I’ll give you top tips that’ll help you spot meat and fish-based ingredients used in commercial food products more quickly. You’ll then be able to make smarter shopping decisions and move with more confidence towards a plant-powered lifestyle. Are you ready to do this? Then let’s jump in!

The problem is: you’ve already tried different ways to shed the pounds and get back to your goal weight. But none of them really worked. So now what do you do?
If you’re tired of doing all the yo-yo dieting, calorie counting, super restrictive portions, fad diets and endless tracking of macros, listen in. In this episode, I want to tell you about plant-based eating, and why it can help you lose unwanted pounds, without even being a diet. In fact, it may be the most unrestricted ‘diet’ you’ll ever be on. How? Let me explain. Grab your ear buds and join me in this episode!

Are you looking for a boost of natural energy, less joint pain and perhaps a downsizing of your clothes? For my guest Rhonda, these all came as unexpected perks after she moved to a full whole food plant-based diet. That’s because her biggest motivation at the time was simply to improve her severely declining kidney function due to an autoimmune disease.
But Rhonda ended up experiencing so many health benefits –in addition to better blood sugars and kidney function - all within 6 months of moving to plant-based eating. In fact, she dropped 4 pant sizes during this period of time. Her husband and family had positive health changes too, and it positively impacted their eating choices. In this episode, find out more about how Rhonda and her family made this diet transition, and the changes they experienced. You’ll be inspired. Don’t miss part 2 of this fascinating interview with my guest Rhonda!

What’s it like to have an autoimmune disease, resulting in borderline kidney failure and be on the verge of needing a kidney transplant? It must have been really scary to deal with. That’s what today’s guest Rhonda faced. She had just been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called IgA nephropathy which significantly impairs kidney function, and in her acute hospitalization, it was found that her Glomerular Filtration Rate (GRF) had already dropped to the super low level of 12. She was about to be put on the transplant list, but she wasn’t even 50 years old yet and still had a full life ahead of her, not to mention another grandchild on the way to love.
Yet, following the advice of her kidney doctor, she decided to give plant-based eating a try…and what results she experienced within just 6 months of making this change! Hear about the health transformation Rhonda experienced in part 1 of this Guest Interview. Not only did her kidney function improve naturally, her HbA1c dropped drastically from 8.2 to 5.4, her mental health got better and she went way down in pills. Listen in to learn more of Rhonda’s story and be inspired!
