In this episode of The Art of Awakening Podcast, Dr. Sue Morter welcomes Kim Murphy, a certified plant-based health coach, for a deeply personal and empowering conversation about how what we eat can change how we feel—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

After losing her father to Alzheimer’s, Kim began a journey to understand the role of nutrition in long-term wellness. What she discovered transformed not only her own life, but the lives of countless others. Today, she shares the science and soul behind a whole food, plant-based lifestyle—and how it can help reduce anxiety, lift depression, and support lasting vitality.

You’ll learn:

• How a plant-based diet can directly impact mental health and emotional wellbeing.
• The power of whole foods to support brain function, energy levels, and mood.
• Practical, beginner-friendly ways to start making lifestyle changes—without the overwhelm.
• Why fiber is a game-changer for both gut health and mental clarity.
• Stories of real people who reclaimed their joy and wellness through nutrition.

Dr. Sue and Kim gently guide you through how reconnecting with nature’s nourishment supports the body’s natural intelligence to heal, balance, and thrive.
