**The amount for this 1-hour appointment will be adjusted with the actual program (1, 2 or 3 months) you sign up for.
Looking for support as you embark on the journey of a plant-based lifestyle?
I will provide you with a comprehensive plan to give you the support necessary to transition to a plant-based lifestyle to meet your health goals.
A plant-based diet is based on foods derived from plants such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. A healthy plant-based diet discourages the use of denatured (processed/packaged foods) and focuses on the real deal.
While I choose to be thoroughly meat and dairy-free, for health, ethical and environmental reasons, if you feel intimidated at dropping all the animal-based foods at one go and want to work with it, I am happy to guide you.
As per Wikipedia, a plant-based diet is a diet consisting mostly or entirely of foods derived from plants, including vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits, and with few or no animal products.
Starting off on a plant-based lifestyle can seem overwhelming and time-consuming. Learning how to plan and cook meals, make the right choices when grocery shopping, and being able to still go out to all your favourite eateries is what most people struggle with when choosing a plant-based lifestyle. This program will ensure your progress and empower you to thrive in your new lifestyle.
