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. 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!

Wishing you the best health,
~Anna

  8. 170 | Down Nearly 20 lbs, Mentally Sharp and Physically Stronger on a Plant-Based Diet – Interview With Client Arthur [Part 2]

    Show notes

    Take a moment to reflect: what would you need to really succeed in reaching your weight or health goals? Is it the newest restrictive fad diet, more time or more money? For my client Arthur, what made the difference was personalized coaching support and a clear-cut transition plan to eating and cooking plant-powered.

    Living mostly alone, Arthur came to me not knowing how to cook much except BBQ-ing meats and boiling vegetables (then adding butter or cheese on top). His other big challenge was having a tiny kitchen with a single stove-top burner. But he was motivated to become a healthy grandpa so he can be there for his growing grandchildren. And within a few months of working together, I saw a huge change in Arthur’s eating and lifestyle habits!

    In this interview segment, Arthur shares more about key positive changes he has experienced since moving into a plant-powered lifestyle, such as feeling more cognitively alert, having greater strength in weight training, weight loss and much more. He’ll also share with us a key piece of advice for listeners who are thinking of trying out a plant-based diet. Tune in now to be more inspired and motivated for your own plant-based diet journey!

    Show notes

    Does change seem impossible because you feel so entrenched in your current ways of eating and living? And how can you change from meat heavy plates if you don’t even really know how to cook? That was the case for my client Arthur. Yet he wanted to lose weight, live longer and stay healthier to be around more for his growing little grandkids. So he decided to take the FIRST step forward. He committed to working together with me. Then within as little as 3 months, his eating habits, food choices and weight all changed for the better!

    In this episode, we’ll learn what Arthur’s eating habits were like previously, how limited his cooking abilities were initially, his motivations for wanting to make a lifestyle change, and whether plant-based eating is expensive. We’ll also learn about some of the many benefits he has experienced since eating plant-powered, such as greater energy and nearly 20 pounds lost within 3 months. Hear from his perspective how my approach and working together made a difference in his wellness journey. Listen in and be inspired!

    French fries. Cookies. Potato Chips. Sweets. Hot dogs. Chicken Nuggets. Do these sound like foods some of your grandkids eat regularly? Or maybe this is pretty much all you’re seeing them eat – minus an occasional piece of carrot or some green peas. Yet, as grandparents, we want what’s best for our grandchildren, including strong minds and healthy bodies. Sometimes though, it’s hard not to feel helpless, knowing you can’t force your grandkids to eat differently, especially if their own parents are fine with these food choices.

    But know this: there are still ways you can encourage these little people to accept and eat more fruits and vegetables, and I want to tell you about them. So grab your favorite Summer-time cooling drink, and let’s continue this Special Summer Series focused on empowering YOU to better help your grandkids thrive plant-powered. Join me now!
