To continue on last episode’s theme of plant-based meal prep, we’re happy to have Stacey Heiny—a certified Holistic Nutritionist, Lifestyle Wellness Mentor and Founder of the Herban Farmacy—on the podcast to help you turn the concept of plant-based eating into practice! In this episode, Stacey talks about her journey of healthy living that stems from her upbringing in the Midwest, understanding the mind-body connection, and awareness of animal agriculture’s harsh realities. As a nutritionist, Stacey offers her take on why a plant-predominant diet remains the cornerstone for optimizing health and also addresses the common obstacles to healthier eating. She then identifies the keys to a successful transition from the Standard American Diet filled with processed foods and animal products towards whole food plant-based nutrition. And to dig deeper, Stacey specifically discusses how working with your mindset and setting up a healthier environment for yourself will help you to achieve your nutrition goals. I hope our talk inspires you to transform those thoughts of plant-based eating into real sustainable action!

In honor of my 4-year anniversary of eating plant-based, I wanted to offer you a practical way to prepare healthy, inexpensive, and tasty plant based meals. So I could not think of anyone better than Toni Okamoto, the founder of Plant-Based on a Budget, author of the Plant-Based on a Budget Cookbook, co-author of The Friendly Vegan Cookbook, and the co-host of The Plant-Powered People Podcast. In this episode, we discuss her unique upbringing that influenced her approach to food. Toni then successfully turned a passion project into her current profession teaching others how to break their meat habit without breaking the bank. With Plant-Based on a Budget, Toni offers affordable time efficient plant-based meal planning accessible to all. We also discuss her perspective on the common misconceptions and main benefits of plant-based eating, the importance of meal planning as a way to mitigate poor eating choices and so much more. I hope our discussion helps inspire you to make healthy, affordable, and tasty plant based meals for you and your loved ones to enjoy!

As part of my Season 2 Launch Series, these episodes are a collection of short length talks on defining health. The starting point for changing our lifestyles begins with examining our thoughts around health. So this a thought experiment designed to challenge the way you’ve previously thought about health to help redefine it for yourself. That said, my last Launch Series guest is Dr. Jeremy Toffle, MD. You may also remember him from Glass Half Healthy Episode 29 as my special guest host. Dr. Toffle is a board certified pediatrician currently working out of Omaha, Nebraska. His work focuses on appropriate nutrition for children, counseling families on parenting struggles and adolescent athletes. He is very active on social media with his blog and podcast entitled Imperfect Dad MD.com and The Imperfect Dad MD podcast, for which I was a guest (check that out!). He also recently started another podcast called the Kids and Covid podcast. And Dr. Toffle is here to tell all of us how he defines health. I hope his message helps to redefine what health means for you.
