Join The Kind Eating Revolution 

Many people are beginning to recognize the health benefits of consuming a predominately plant or solely plant-based diet, reducing their risk of several chronic health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Whether you want to go veg, vegan, gluten free or all of the above or you want to educate your kids on going veg, it's always best to do it right the first time and hire a professional for proper guidance. 

 

My Veg Story

 

Back in 1985 at the age of 19, I stopped eating all meat for ethical reasons. I didn't think going veg was that complicated since it meant just not eating animals. What I didn't know back then was how to eat a proper and healthy veg diet. My diet consisted of french fries, chocolate bars, pasta, muffins, processed foods and bread. Within the first 5 years, I had lost muscle mass, had low energy, bad skin, stomach troubles, weight gain and I felt irritable all the time. Back in 1985, there was no access to quick education like we have today with the internet and social media, so I was pretty much just winging it.

It was 6 years into my veg diet that I started to eat chicken and some fish again because I just felt so miserable because I wasn't eating a proper vegetarian diet. I didn't know what felt worse: eating animals again or the fatigue. My MD told me my health depended on eating meat. In retrospect, I realize that was totally untrue. Doctors and many Natural Healers have absolutely no real veg nutrition training so they are unclear about how to eat a veg diet for optimum health. It was tough to find any practitioner who had experience in veg eating so I had to seek out other veg people to help me. So I took the plunge again and became a "committed for life vegetarian". I've not looked back. 

 

To make my life even more exciting, in 2011, I also went 100% gluten free. I made the decision to go gluten free to help aid in my recovery from Lupus and Lyme. In the first 6 weeks, my entire life changed for the better. The inflammation in my body was at an all-time low. The first year of being GF was REALLY hard because there was not a lot of gluten free selections nor was I that educated on the process. I spend tons of time researching how to be gluten free and be healthy doing it.

 

Along with my professional training and many years of eating a vegetarian /GF  diet, I have the extensive knowledge and educated needed to be healthy and to teach others how to be healthy in this lifestyle as well.

 

The shift is enlightening and I feel stronger than ever.
