    Jul 15 2025

    Are you wanting to add more vegetables and fruits to your plates, but wonder if you can afford it? Right now, you’re already spending quite a bit on groceries weekly, mainly on meats, eggs, and processed foods. Yes, you’re also buying carrots, apples, and other produce items, but it’s not a lot at the moment. But the rising food prices, including those in the fresh produce department, have gotten you worried. Maybe you’re thinking, “Things are going to get WAY more expensive if I eat plant-based and start buying more fruits and veggies!”

    Well, it doesn’t have to be. Eating plant-based doesn’t need to cost you an ‘arm and a leg’…unless of course you go about buying plant-based foods the wrong way. In this episode, I want to tell you about a KEY mistake that many people often make – specifically in the fresh produce department – which can end up costing you quite a bit over time. So if you’re wanting to save on food dollars but still nourish your body with health-boosting fruits and veggies, grab your ear buds and join me inside this episode. I’ll meet you there!

    Are you thinking of making a plant-based diet change but worry that you’ll then need to take all these EXTRA dietary supplements or you won’t get enough nutrition? Like vitamin B12 – isn’t that a nutrient all vegans and vegetarians need to supplement with, but others don’t?

In this episode, we’ll look at the importance of vitamin B12, possible signs and symptoms of deficiency, and see if vitamin B12 is a vitamin only vegans and plant-based eaters need to be concerned about, or if it is a nutrient we ALL need to be conscious of, even if we’re on a regular diet.

    Jun 3 2025

    Are you plant-based curious or ready to get started with plant-based eating, but feel lost and confused by all the different terms you see? It doesn’t help either that terms like ‘vegan’ and ‘plant-based’ are often used interchangeably on social media, news media channels, in cookbooks, and by celebrities.

    Navigating the plant-based world can seem scary, especially if you’ve been used to your current way of eating for so long.
