In case you missed today's live, the replay is up.
We covered a lot of ground and I want to make sure you know what's in there because some of this is genuinely useful regardless of where you are in your plant-based journey.
Here is what we talked about:
- Mindset for beginners. You don't have to go all-in overnight. Start with simple swaps, know your why, and expect some pushback from the people around you. Ninety percent plant-based still moves the needle. Progress over perfection, always.
- Sleep and blood sugar. What you eat in the afternoon and evening has more impact on your sleep than most people realize. Under-eating during the day raises cortisol at night, and that cortisol is often what wakes you up at 2am. We talked through specific foods that support sleep and what to avoid in the hours before bed.
- Hypoglycemia on a plant-based diet. One of our members shared that going plant-based actually worsened her blood sugar regulation, with overnight drops and daytime swings confirmed by a CGM. We unpacked exactly why this happens and what to do about it, including how to build meals that hold blood sugar steady throughout the day and overnight.
- Eating plant-based with a sensitive or treatment-affected system. Whole food plant-based doesn't have to mean raw or hard to digest. We talked through gentle preparation strategies for anyone whose digestive system needs extra support.
Timestamps are in the comments so you can jump straight to what matters most to you. And if anything we covered today makes you want to go deeper, the Blood Sugar Action Guide and Hormone Harmony Meal Plan are both inside Premium and built around exactly these topics.
