Hello! I am so grateful to be a part of this group, but will be honest, I haven't been very engaged lately. I am a Functional Gut Practitioner and just did an updated gut test on myself and guess what??? I have a ton of markers that are out of range and would benefit from LESS animal based protein, and MORE plant based! I eat a ton of plants already, but need to add more legumes, grains, etc to rebuild my microbiome. Thank goodness for @Nadia Quraishi and this group because I knew exactly where to go to get things back on track!

A few years ago I went through a significant health challenge. Coming out the other side I became almost obsessive about eating well. Whole foods, plant-based, really mindful about everything I put in my body. On paper it looked like I was doing everything right. But I was skipping breakfast. I was doing extended intermittent fasting. And I was so focused on eating the right things that I was actually afraid to eat more. If I wasn't sure something was perfectly healthy, I'd just skip it. I wasn't fueling my body. I was controlling it. My workouts felt hard in a way that didn't feel productive. My energy was all over the place. And I kept telling myself I just needed to be more disciplined. The shift came when I started eating breakfast again. I know that sounds almost too simple. But I stopped the extended fasting and started focusing on protein and fiber first thing in the morning, and my body responded almost immediately. More energy. Workouts that actually felt good. A more stable mood. I felt like myself again. I learned later that extended fasting over time can affect hormone balance in women, and that a protein and fiber anchored breakfast is genuinely one of the best things you can do for your body after 40. My experience wasn't just personal. It was backed by the science. That's the foundation the 30-Day Plant-Based Reset is built on. Not eating less. Not a list of things to avoid. A real framework for fueling your body well, in a way that actually supports how a woman's body works at this stage of life.

Are you happy with how you’ve been eating lately?

Alright lovelies.. let’s see what you’ve been creating 👀✨ Drop a pic of any plant-based meals you made this week. 👇 And if you didn’t take photos, just tell us what you ate. Here's some of mine.. Let’s celebrate the small wins together 💚

I want to make freezer burritos, but I can't seem to find healthy tortillas or wraps. Everything I see in stores has shortening or a number of processed oils in them. I asked chatgpt to help me find healthy tortillas and it came up with some organic and/or whole wheat options including Food for Life, Siete, Mission, La Tortilla Factory, and Trader Joe's. BUT I can't find those near me 😅. Food for Life and Siete tend to fall apart on me. And then I saw Target had a decent looking option, but apparently they've been helping 🧊 so that's a no for me. Will I need to make my own burrito size tortillas from scratch? Or just suck it up and eat a bit of shortening tortilla. Let me know what you do!
