GETTING STARTED

Today is the first day of the rest of your life!

It’s funny how we all go through our “evolutions” when we’re exposed to something new! First it’s “what IS that?” Then it’s “oh, I could NEVER do that!” Then it’s “ok, so now HOW do I do that?” And finally it’s “gee, that was so easy!” Well, maybe that last one was a bit of a stretch, but we often really do hear “it really was a lot simpler to do than I thought it would be when I started!” In this Resource section, we’re trying to give you tools based on the guidance of many experts as well as that of just regular people who’ve gone through this very same journey and come out on the other side. And the best part…they’ve come out healthier than they ever thought possible!

Plant-Based Cooking

Are you looking for ways to prevent or reverse disease so you worry less, lose weight, stop cravings, heal, are in control, and live a long and healthy life? If you’ve figured out that eating a plant-based diet is one of the best ways to gain optimum health and you’re already prepping, cooking and eating that way, good for you!

Plant-Based Academy

If you are beginning the plant-based lifestyle journey in full force be sure to communicate with your healthcare provider.  It’s important to partner with your provider in order to receive guidance when weight and cholesterol levels begin to change. Often during transition, medications that you take may need adjustments. It’s possible that some (if not all) may be  eliminated  by your physician. This is a critical reason to undergo this lifestyle change with your health care provider on board.
