Chronic diseases are a common thing we see, especially as we age.
And even though genetics play a role in your lifespan and susceptibility to various chronic diseases, your lifestyle plays possibly an even greater role.
Today, we’re going to discuss pockets in the world called “Blue Zones.” If you haven’t heard of this term or maybe you have and aren’t quite sure what it means, it refers to geographic areas throughout the world in which people have low rates of chronic disease and live longer than anywhere else. In this episode, we discuss the commonalities of people living in Blue Zones and why they live longer.

Welcome to The Summer of Self-Love Series Part 3!
Lucy Call & Episode 24 about Food Freedom "Intuitive Eating""Intuitive Eating Workbook"
We wanted to finish the series out with one of our favorite reminders that food is NOT the enemy. Diet culture teaches us that we must avoid BAD food at all costs! Cupcakes and Oreos and donuts are temptations that we can NEVER enjoy again.
Of course this restrictive way of thinking often leads to cravings and out of control feelings around these foods. We discuss alternative labels and how to approach plant-based eating and intuitive eating without the demonization of food.

It would feel AMAZING!

"I truly feel the best when I’m eating plants"

"My doctor called me and said 'you have cured your diabetes'”
Stories like J.T.'s are exactly the reason I started this podcast. Just like so many of us, J.T. did not grow up eating for nutrition. A self-proclaimed "starving artist", he would scarf down whatever food was available as he ran to his next acting gig. As he got older, he was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. After adopting a plant-based diet, a mindful eating practice and incorporating gentle movement into his life, now at the age of 63, he has been able to shed over 50 pounds, reverse his diabetes, and cut his high blood pressure and cholesterol medications in half. His enthusiasm is infectious and I could have talked with him for hours!
J.T. is an actor, with credits in films, TV, audio and the stage. He is also a teacher of Tai Chi, Qigong, and Meditation.Resources from this Episode:

"How we live and what we eat is more impactful in some ways than the genes we get passed down to us"
Caitlyn Howarth shares her story that unfortunately begins with multiple family members dying of cancer, including her brother at the young age of 38. Naturally, Caitlyn wanted answers. She took a deep dive into her own research into what could have caused this and how can she prevent it from happening to her. She soon discovered plant-based eating.
She was a typical American child and like so many of us grew up on a limited diet of mac & cheese and chicken nuggets. She is a self-proclaimed lifelong picky eater, never having eaten a squash or bell pepper up until recently. She now loves to experiment and has tried more new foods in the last two years than all 26 before that. Please enjoy her story.Resources from this Episode:

Diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type II diabetes, Steven Kravetz of Holyoke, Massachusetts, decided enough was enough.

"Oh no, does this mean I’m going to be on a diet forever?"
I did a recent deep dive into Noom for a recent podcast episode and it really touched a nerve. I got so many questions that I knew I had to scrutinize other popular diets on the market today. One of my amazing clients was a lifetime member with Weight Watchers and has such a common story. I know she will provide so much encouragement to you listeners.
Amanda is from the Seattle area and has been plant-based since middle school, over 25 years. She grew up in a dieting household without any understanding of how to eat in a balanced, healthy way. In her early twenties, she joined Weight Watchers. We explore the rules of this diet program and dissect how these rules effected her relationship with food and disrupted her ability to listen to her own body's wants, needs and cues.

"I often chose cigarettes over having a meal"
After years of living a self destructive lifestyle, suppressing his emotions, and a negative relationship with food, Koen Vaessen burnt out. And he knew it was time for a change. He went vegetarian, started a course to become a personal trainer and got fit. However, he still wasn't happy. And that's when he knew he had to go within. He needed to change his relationship with himself and learn how to deal with stress. He went vegan and eventually started the Vegan Academy to help others thrive on a vegan lifestyle, but most of all create a healthy relationship with their body and with food.

Facebook: Plant Centered NutritionMon, 11 Oct 2021 - 23 - "Noom" claims that it is not a diet program. Hear why I call B.S.!
"Weight and size are not indicators of health"
I posted a Reel on Instagram several weeks ago and there was mention of the "Noom" program. It sparked a TON of questions from my followers so I thought I would make a podcast explaining the research I've done regarding the program and why I think they are the same old diet dressing up as something new. I go as far as to sign up for the program for the purpose of looking behind the curtain. I wanted to know what a prospective "Noom" consumer went through.
What I found was shocking and upsetting. Logging your food. Calorie Counting. Weighing yourself. Labeling foods good and bad. Sure sounds like a diet to me. I hope I can shed some light for some of you.

"Educating yourself can really help with finding your why and sticking to it"
I LOVE reconnecting with former clients and Greta Heckmann is no exception. Greta's vegan transition was fueled by learning more and more about factory farming and really struggling with the cruelty of the system. She was also diagnosed with high-cholesterol even as a vegetarian. She did not want to end up on blood pressure and cholesterol medication like other family members so that in conjunction with the ethical portion was all the motivation she needed go plant-based for good.

"It's great to be in a supportive group because there are so many questions that you need the answers to when you start."
The popularity of vegan and plant-based lifestyles has EXPLODED in the UK over the last few years. Laura, a colleague of mine, wanted to make the transition, but she didn't have anyone in her social or familial circle to help her. That's where Veganuary came into the picture.
Veganuary is a non-profit organization that encourages people worldwide to try vegan for January and beyond. During the 2021 campaign, more than 500,000 people took their pledge to try a vegan diet.Throughout the year, Veganuary encourages and supports people and businesses alike to move to a plant-based diet as a way of protecting the environment, preventing animal suffering, and improving the health of millions of people.
If you find yourself to be the only one in your circle interested in this way of living it can feel isolating, lonely and overwhelming. Laura and I discuss the importance of finding a community in order to be successful. Congrats to us for our 20th Episode!

"Taking your transition at your own pace is totally okay!"
Double Trouble! Get ready ya'll because you get two plant-based dietitians this week! I am so excited to welcome, Lauren McNeill, a Registered Dietitian based in Canada who specializes in plant-based nutrition, with a Masters of Public Health in Nutrition and Dietetics and a collaborative specialization in women's health. Lauren started her plant-based journey by going vegetarian ten years ago, then slowly transitioned to veganism when studying nutrition in her undergraduate degree. I often feel like our neighbors to the north are always several steps ahead of us in progress, so I loved having this discussion from the perspective of a Canadian dietitian.
She now runs a virtual private practice where she helps those who are vegetarian, vegan or those who simply want to incorporate more plant-based foods into their everyday eating pattern thrive on a plant-based diet. She also has launched an online program called "Thriving on Plant-Based Fundamentals" that we have linked below.Resources from this episode:

"I think sometimes people want to overcomplicate I’m vegan and I’m pregnant"
Holly MacKinnon is the founder of Small Seed, a plant based snack company whose mission is to use food as a way of leaving a positive impact on the world. She lives in Raleigh, NC with her husband (and co-founder), daughter and soon-to-be son. She has successfully had two vegan pregnancies and is now raising vegan children. Today, we discuss common questions vegan mothers get while pregnant, how to deal with the opinion of others, how to find a doctor and much much more!
For Holly, going vegan was a pretty quick and easy journey. After making the connection that we raise and slaughter animals for (unnecessary) consumption and never truly enjoying any animal products, she wanted to give veganim a try. Holly says, "I realized if I couldn't look an animal in the eyes and take it's life, why did I deserve to have someone else do the messy hard part for me." Holly and her husband decided to go vegan overnight and never looked back.Resources from this episode:

"There's a huge misconception that when we look at someone its an automatic indicator of how healthy they are"
Welcome, Rachel Jones, one of my former clients who is a stay at home mom of three. Rachel was diagnosed with a Chronic Kidney Disease (IgA Nephropathy) at the age of 26. She has also struggled with being overweight almost her whole life and when she met me, her main focus was to get the weight down. What happened instead was to change her mindset around the obsession over weighing herself and the "number" on the scale.
Today, Rachel's kidney disease is in remission. She has combined her love of vegan/plant-based cooking and photography after receiving a food photography scholarship. Rachel is hoping to spread the message that plant-based/vegan eating is accessible, abundant and beautiful.This is an amazing conversation that could have continued for hours. It is an episode full of information and pearls of wisdom and Rachel's passion and enthusiasm are infectious. I know you will love her as much as I do.

"If we can address these stereotypes and gender norms when kids are young maybe we can prevent them from thinking that meat is masculine in the first place."
I am thrilled to host my friend, Adam Stranaland, to the podcast where we discuss an age old question, "does meat equal masculinity? Adam is a doctoral student at Duke University, pursuing Duke’s first joint degree in psychology and public policy. His research aims to understand how powerful social norms impact kids and adults, as well as if/how we can change them. Most of his research is on the causes and consequences of rigid masculinity norms and how they affect boys’ and men’s development and behavior (e.g., aggression/violence, political engagement, mental health, discrimination).
I learned so much after my talk with Adam. If you have a man in your life that may be interested in reducing his meat consumption, I'd definitely recommend this episode for them!Resources from this episode:

"Would we push to get our family the help that they needed? So why don’t we do that for ourselves?"
Today we welcome, Capri, a mother of two from Austin, Texas. Capri shares her health struggles that all started with strange menstrual cycles and bowel problems for as long as she can remember. These issues escalated into constant, wide spread abdominal pain that went undiagnosed for years.

During the 9 years of increasing pain, she dove head first into finding answers. That’s when she discovered that plant-based eating can help reduce inflammation in the body. Listen to Capri explain how she and her family made the transition to a plant-based lifestyle that has ultimately changed their lives for the better.Resources from this episode:

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 - 5 - How Becky lowered her cholesterol and got glowing skin on a plant-based diet
Is it possible to go plant-based after living on an Angus Cattle Farm?
If you are my mom, you sure can!
I am so honored to host my mother, Becky Kitchens, on the podcast! She was your typical stay at home mom of three, who raised us (her kids) on the standard American diet that included things like potatoes, casseroles and you can imagine, a whole lot of meat.
About 5 years ago, I asked my parents for a very special birthday present…to go plant-based for 3 months. They couldn’t say no to me! Not only did Becky feel better than she had in years, but she was able to lower her cholesterol 46 points! Incredible!
Now it’s 5 years later and we chat about all the tricks she’s learned about how to navigate being plant-based in a small Indiana farming community. Can’t wait for you all to listen!

Facebook: Plant Centered NutritionTue, 11 May 2021 - 1 - Introducing The Plant Centered Podcast
Thank you so much for being here today. I’m Ashley. I’m a plant-based registered dietitian nutritionist and virtual nutrition coach and mentor.
I’m so grateful you’re here. I’m going to give you an exciting preview of what you can expect from this podcast, how it will benefit you and your journey, and stay tuned at the end for a fun giveaway that I’ll be running throughout this month of May.
The whole reason I’m starting this podcast is give people a space to share their plant-based story. And we’re not just going to talk about what’s going well (although we’ll do a lot of that) but we’re going to really dig deep into the challenges, struggles… What would you say to yourself if you could go back and give yourself a piece of advice as you started going plant-based.
When I started my plant-based journey in 2012. At that time, I was very alone in my journey. I had no support and no idea what I was doing. Some of my main inspirations and motivators were reading about everyday people who made the shift. I was raised on a beef farm so I seriously had no clue what I was doing.
The whole reason I became interested in plant-based eating was because I grew up with a lot of GI issues. And looking back now, I didn’t realize that going to the bathroom once or twice a week wasn’t normal. I would spend hours trying to go to the bathroom and didn’t realize it wasn’t normal.
It wasn’t until after I became a dietitian, and I always stress that it was after because I didn’t learn a whole lot about plant-based eating
You can expect to hear stories from people who made the switch, from why they did it to what they struggled with to how they’re thriving now. Why? Because, I don’t want you to feel alone on your journey. I want you to have a community, to have some support through your earbuds that I wish I had.
Even though this episode is solo, you can expect most of these episodes to be other people talking about their plant-based journey.
The main things you’ll get:
Community
Plant-based inspiration
Common plant-based struggles from everyday people and how they’ve been overcome
Encouragement and empowerment
How you can own your plant-based journey
The greatest gift you can give to me right now is subscribing to the show and leaving a five-star rating and review. It would mean so much!
Thank you for listening, it’s been an absolute pleasure. Stay tuned for next time!
