Will eating plant-based give enough protein? This is one of the most common questions I get from those considering a plant-based diet.

Do you feel weighed down and burdened by constant medications and anxiety around your medical diagnoses? Are you wondering if there is any natural holistic way to drop your blood sugar levels to normal, lift your depression, help you drop pounds, as well as improve your energy levels and mood?   Yes, there IS a way and it is simpler than you think – by focusing on eating high quality nourishing natural whole plant-based foods and moving more, your health can improve dramatically. How? In this episode, I’ll share part 1 of a fascinating interview with my special guest, Sandra Y.

What she didn’t expect though, was the amazing healing journey she found herself on when she made the change to a plant-powered lifestyle, one that would not only improve her diabetes, but cause her to drop nearly 50 pounds, lift her depression and more…all within 6 months of switching to a whole food plant-based diet!

If you have been used to a ‘meat and potatoes’ diet for almost all your life, it can be daunting to even think about the possibility of moving to a plant-based diet lifestyle.

In this episode, I’m excited to share with you 3 key reasons why moving to plant-based eating will be easier than you think!

She also was dealing with health issues like high cholesterol and has a strong family history of diabetes and heart attacks. On top of that, she juggles a full-time job with long commutes.   Yet, Zohreh wanted to make a shift - a REAL one - in her weight and health. So she did. She reached out to me and we began working together.   In this episode, we’ll delve more into Zohreh’s weight loss journey, her views on eating plant-based as a lifestyle after 9 months, her increased confidence when eating out and the role guided support played in her plant-based diet transition experience.

Have you ever tried to lose weight…then got frustrated when the results didn’t stick? That was certainly the case for my client Zohreh. She had tried different diets in the past, but none seemed to give her the sustained results she desired. Until she came to plant-based eating.   Coming from many years of eating a pescatarian diet, Zohreh thought making this transition would (and should) be easy. But she ended up feeling lost and unsure of how to best eat on a plant-based diet, to reach her desired goals of losing weight and reducing her risk of diabetes, heart attacks and other health problems.   After getting support through coaching though, this all changed. Staying plant-powered became workable and enjoyable, even while Zohreh continued to juggle a full-time job and long commutes. Listen in to this interview between Zohreh and I, recorded 9 months after we started working together. In this episode, you’ll hear about her background, past weight challenges and some of the key positive changes she has enjoyed since moving into a whole food plant-based diet. These include weight loss, lower cholesterol, greater energy and a greater confidence in being able to stay weight stable, even after trips and holidays.

Do you have a loved one suffering from dementia, and have you started noticing a few worrying signs of it in yourself? Maybe it’s not you, but others around you who have noticed…and that’s concerning you more than you want to admit.   Either way, you know you want to stay as mentally sharp and alert as you can, for as long as possible.

Have you seen the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and wondered if you should follow them? You may have seen talk about them on the news and social media, and don’t know quite what to believe. The slogan of eating more ‘real foods’ sounds good though, and the New Pyramid diagram seems to show that all foods - including butter, steak, whole milk and cheese – would be fine to eat and that we don’t really need to worry about the amounts eaten. But DO we need to worry? And what about the recommendations about protein and nutritional adequacy issues in vegan and vegetarian diets?   Let’s talk about this. In this episode, we’ll take a deeper dive into the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans and look at 3 more KEY things you need to know about them, to inform your own health.

The new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released on January 7, 2026 and already they have created quite a stir. Perhaps you’ve seen the Guidelines and wonder what to make of them too. For one, there’s a featured image of an inverted pyramid comprising foods like butter, steak, whole milk and cheese. Then when you get onto the realfood.gov website, you are immediately shown three images - a stalk of broccoli, a carton of whole milk, and a piece of steak. But are all foods healthy and good for long-term health as long they don’t come processed and from a factory?   This is definitely worth discussing. So in this episode, let’s take a closer look at these Guidelines recently released. In this first part, I’ll highlight the positive recommendations made within the Guidelines and then 2 important things you need to know about them. I hope you’ll walk away with greater clarity into the matter and be more informed and equipped to make the best food choices for your health. Ready? Grab a warm cup of tea and let’s get started!     For the list of references to this episode, please go to the episode webpage at: https://www.plantnourished.com/blog/144-new-2025-2030-dietary-guidelines-part-one      Contact -> [email protected] Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Join -> Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course: www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse 1:1 Coaching Support -> https://www.plantnourished.com/coachingwaitlist Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> 7 Ways to Test-Drive a Plant-Based Diet: www.plantnourished.com/testdrive     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?

Cindy was just a regular person on a regular Standard American Diet, living a quiet sedentary lifestyle. One based on frozen dinners and pre-packaged meals, along with sodas and sugary snacks, though she did try a ‘clean keto’ diet on and off. Except one day, something happened that changed everything.   She had a sudden massive heart attack.   After a ride in the ambulance and an immediate operation, Cindy knew her diet and lifestyle had to change. So that is what started her eventually looking into plant-based eating and then making the decision to start a whole food plant-based diet.   What happened after that? Listen in to hear the rest of Cindy’s fascinating story.

As we age, it’s hard not to start worrying about our health, and about how long we can stay ‘mentally there’ for our loved ones. It’s natural to want to stay alert, sharp and aware of the people we love and of our surroundings, so we can get the most out of our remaining years.   But maybe Alzheimer’s disease runs in your family, and you’re afraid this can happen to you too. So you’re wondering, “How can I prevent this, and how can I keep my mind going strong?”   Let’s look at that today. In this episode, we’ll see if eating a plant-based diet might help older individuals with cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll also examine other lifestyle changes that may help slow down the progression of cognitive impairment or dementia. So grab that hot mug of tea and let’s dive in!

Are you new to plant-based eating and want to try more fruits and vegetables, but don’t know where to start or know how to enjoy them? You haven’t cooked with most of the veggies you’ve seen in the Fresh Produce department and have generally stuck to the same old familiar fruits you grew up on –like apples, oranges and pears – and haven’t ventured much farther. And some of the fruits you’ve seen being sold  seem to have strange shapes and colors…like those small squarish hard orange-colored fruit you’ve noticed lately at the store this Fall. What are they and what do they taste like?   Those, my Friend, are called Persimmons and there are a few KEY important things you need to know about them if you want to truly appreciate and enjoy them. In this episode, we’ll look at persimmons in terms of their nutritional value, how to store them and the many ways to eat them.

Have you ever felt worried about starting plant-based first, because the rest of your family are meat-eaters? Maybe you’re worried that you’ll end up having to always eat differently, and be forever ‘double cooking’. If that’s you, I know how you’re feeling. But sometimes, you won’t know till you take that FIRST step forward…and sometimes the results can be amazingly beyond what we could have thought or imagined.   That was the case for my coaching client Dawn, who is part of a meat-eating family. And that’s why I’m sharing this segment of her testimonial interview with you today.   Not only was Dawn a full-time nurse, she was also a busy mama with a teenage son and 10-year-old twin daughters. And the whole family was used to a meat-heavy regular diet, especially her husband. But through coaching, Dawn began to move into a plant-powered lifestyle with confidence, and things started to shift in her home…pretty quickly.   Listen in to find out the many positive changes that have since occurred in her family as a result of her courageously taking that first step forward into plant-based eating (spoiler alert: her husband’s change is the biggest!).

Have you ever tried to make a big change, but then struggled without guidance or support? That was Dawn’s case, a past client of mine. In this episode, I’m sharing with you her story. Dawn is a full-time nurse with a family of five. She had tried to go vegan on her own previously but stopped soon afterwards when she began feeling hungry and often weak. Then a year later, she met me and we began working together.   The result? Through coaching, she began to experience more energy, and felt healthier and stronger in her body. She felt more emotionally happy and is now able to stay confidently plant-powered, even as her family continues a regular diet. Let’s see just much easier and more enjoyable plant-based eating can get with the RIGHT support and guidance!     Contact -> [email protected] Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Join -> Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course: www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse Connect with Community -> www.facebook.com/groups/beginnerplantbaseddietsuccess Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> 7 Ways to Test-Drive a Plant-Based Diet  www.plantnourished.com/testdrive       Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?

Do you wish you had more money to spend on groceries so you can buy more fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy better health? Well, what if I told you that you don’t need MORE money …but you have to first learn to stretch your shopping dollars – in the store and at home. This way, you can get MORE with each dollar that you do spend.   Because here’s the reality…there’s a lot of food waste going around, and most households are losing significant amounts of produce AND money every week…from simply not knowing how to store produce, to not knowing how best to use what we do buy and bring back home.   Let’s change that. I want to help you maximize your shopping dollars and enjoy more of the fruits and veggies you bring home. Let’s see how to do that with one specific vegetable, often used in homecooked meals. And that’s cauliflower.

Did someone say ‘hunger’? If so, I’m not surprised. I actually hear about frequent hunger being a challenge from many people making the transition from meats to plants. But just because this is quite a common issue doesn’t mean that a plant-based diet will automatically cause you to be constantly hungry. It just means that more likely than not, you’re not going about your diet transition the right way and being smart about what foods you’re putting on your plates.   Curious to know more? Join me inside this episode as we unpack this hunger issue more and see what you should really expect if you’re eating the right way on a plant-based diet.

The nutrition world can be so confusing, don’t you agree? A new protein powder, immune boosting pill, brain health or other dietary supplement seems to appear on the market every day, and they are ALL being promoted as necessary for wellness. You see adverts everywhere – on social media, in the midst of YouTube videos, on websites, and through TV commercials. There’s so much noise and information that we don’t know where to turn, and it’s all so tiring. Or we get pulled into the latest nutrition hype and because we’re afraid of missing out, we end up spending a ton of money on nutritional products and over-supplement to try to cover ALL our bases. Let’s cut through the hype and clear up this confusion. In this episode, I want to share about 3 important nutrients that plant-based eaters and vegans need to be mindful of for good health. These are REAL nutrients you need to watch out for and potentially supplement. But spoiler alert, these are nutrients that meat-eaters ALSO need to be aware of. What are they?

Did you know that making the mental shifts needed for a plant-based diet change is JUST as important as making shifts in the actual foods you eat? Yet, many people don’t realize this, and spend most of their time researching recipes on the Internet or the latest kitchen gadget instead. Of course, having good recipes and kitchen tools can be helpful, but just focusing on them won’t give you real success.   One really crucial key is this: We need to check that we are mentally prepared to begin this journey in the first place and know WHAT to expect as we transition. So let me ask you: Are you mentally prepared? If you’re not sure, tune in now. In this episode, I’ll share one mindset key you need to have, that will help you enjoy this new way of eating and set you up for long-term success on a plant-based diet. Not only that, it’ll also help you build the best nutrition eating plant-powered. So grab that warm cup of tea and let’s dive in!
