84: Secrets to Raising Plant-Based Kids

Again and again we each get stuck in our efforts to create healthy habits and it all goes back to the same place, our human brain. Today I share some tips to outsmart your brain, overcome the things that are keeping you stuck and move the needle forward.     

Collagen supplements are everywhere--advertised to give you everything from strong joints to less wrinkles, but are they worth it? Or are they even safe?  Spoiler Alert: as usual, a plant-based diet is the safer, cheaper and more effective solution. But tune in to hear what the research has found and which foods are particularly good for your own collagen production!  Grab Eat Smarter, Not Harder Kale .eBook for 50% off HERE.  Our current preferred B12 supplement

Lately it seems like everyone is talking about seed oils and how terrible they are. Listen in as I share my take on it all after digging into the relevant research.  Further, fat can be a confusing topic - what's good, what's bad and what type of fat is best? This short episode will tell you everything you really need to know to take the next step to optimize your health.  My husband and I loved how the Holistic Holiday at Sea cruise taught us so much and left us feeling inspired to do better! But finding the the time and resources to make this happen was no walk in the park and simply not a reality for many of us in the thick of life!  A great alternative is the Food Revolution Summit coming up the last week of April. Many nutrition experts from different fields will share their research and answer common questions. The first summit I watched 9 years ago was so inspiring and motivating for me to make lasting and powerful changes. You can catch all the talks for free for a limited time, or you can purchase them to watch later at your convenience. Owning the summit can be a great way to plan your own Holistic Holiday wherever you choose, and set aside the time to immerse yourself in this life-changing information.  I loved doing this with a parenting course I was unable to attend in person. For a fraction of the time and money, my husband and I were able to soak up the information we needed and begin using it much sooner than had we waited until we could do the in person option.  Register Today!
