Embracing a Plant-Based Life: Nutrition, Budget, and the 'Choose You Now' Philosophy with Julianne Hever

The Healthy Post Natal Body Podcast

I get a lot of questions from women about eating more vegetables and having a more "plant-based diet"
A while ago I had the pleasure of talking to Julieanna Hever, MS RD CPT. aka the plant based dietitian and she really is the go-to for me on this stuff so I am very happy to bring you our chat again.
I loved her soo much I bought her book straight after the interview, in the pre-sale, and it's been a go-to for me ever since.
She's the author of no fewer than 7 (!!!) books
She's also the host of the "Choose you now" podcast and it's very safe to say that she really knows what she's talking about.
We talk all things plant-based, starting with what we mean by a "plant-based diet" (because it's not the same as vegan)
What a healthy plate of food actually looks like.
Then we talk the benefits of a plant-based diet and how to transition to a more plant-based diet if you're not currently getting your fruits and veggies.
How easy it actually is to just eat a bit less meat and add more veg to your life whilst keeping it very tasty.
Why the "all or nothing" approach just doesn't work when dealing with a change in diet.
Why cooking your own meals is key when your goal is to be healthy.
And much much more.

No "In the News This week" segment because the news is all wrapped up in Omicron but I did quickly want to talk about one of the most important things a post-partum/diastasis recti personal trainer should ask their clients and which they often don't. "What, exactly, don't you like about your stomach?"
