New video just dropped and this one might change how you think about stress. I went down a rabbit hole after one of my members asked me a question I didn't have a full answer to. She wanted to know if certain foods actually help with anxiety. Turns out - Yes. And the science behind it is fascinating. About 90% of your serotonin is made in your gut. Not your brain. Your gut. So if you're eating well and still feeling stressed and overwhelmed... this might be exactly why. I made a whole video breaking it down, including the 5 foods I actually eat to support this. Super simple, no overhaul needed. Linking it below. Would love to know which of the 5 you're already eating. 👇 I've also added the video to our Plant-Powered Foundations Library where you can find other short lessons around food, longevity, and lifestyle.

We made two recipes that are perfect for summer. The Crunchy Chili-Lime Cucumber Salad comes together in 15 minutes and no cooking required. Cucumbers are over 95% water so it's genuinely one of the most hydrating things you can eat right now. And the Musabaha — warm chickpeas in a tahini-lemon sauce — is one of my absolute favorites. It looks impressive but it's so simple. High in plant protein, high in fiber, and the lemon actually helps your body absorb the iron from the chickpeas. Together they make a really complete summer meal. [𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆] Let me know if you make either of them. Also a big thank you to those who joined live! What's your summer go-to right now? 💚

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.

We'll be covering plant-based mindset, hypoglycemia, and healing food - raw vs cooked. Join us here: https://youtube.com/live/Z7CLauOuHsM?feature=share
