    Dec 2 2025

    As we age, it’s hard not to start worrying about our health, and about how long we can stay ‘mentally there’ for our loved ones. It’s natural to want to stay alert, sharp and aware of the people we love and of our surroundings, so we can get the most out of our remaining years.

    But maybe Alzheimer’s disease runs in your family, and you’re afraid this can happen to you too. So you’re wondering, “How can I prevent this, and how can I keep my mind going strong?”

    Let’s look at that today. In this episode, we’ll see if eating a plant-based diet might help older individuals with cognitive decline such as Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll also examine other lifestyle changes that may help slow down the progression of cognitive impairment or dementia. So grab that hot mug of tea and let’s dive in!

  • 129 | Why You Should Try Persimmons and How To Enjoy Them [Ingredient Spotlight]
    Nov 11 2025

    Are you new to plant-based eating and want to try MORE fruits and vegetables, but don’t know where to start or know how to enjoy them? You haven’t cooked with most of the veggies you’ve seen in the Fresh Produce department and have generally stuck to the same old familiar fruits you grew up on –like apples, oranges and pears – and haven’t ventured much farther. And some of the fruits you’ve seen being sold seem to have strange shapes and colors…like those small squarish hard orange-colored fruit you’ve noticed lately at the store this Fall. What are they and what do they taste like?

    Those, my Friend, are called Persimmons and there are a few KEY important things you NEED to know about them if you want to truly appreciate and enjoy them. In this episode, we’ll look at persimmons in terms of their nutritional value, how to store them and the many ways to eat them. So join me as we dive into the world of Persimmons together!

  • 128 | How Her Decision to Eat Plant-Based Changed Her Family – with Client Dawn
    Nov 4 2025

    Have you ever felt worried about starting plant-based first, because the rest of your family are meat-eaters? Maybe you’re worried that you’ll end up having to always eat differently, and be forever ‘double cooking’. If that’s you, I know how you’re feeling. But sometimes, you won’t know till you take that FIRST step forward…and sometimes the results can be amazingly beyond what we could have thought or imagined.

    That was the case for my coaching client Dawn, who is part of a meat-eating family. And that’s why I’m sharing this segment of her testimonial interview with you today.

    Not only was Dawn a full-time nurse, she was also a busy mama with a teenage son and 10-year-old twin daughters. And the whole family was used to a meat-heavy regular diet, especially her husband. But through coaching, Dawn began to move into a plant-powered lifestyle with confidence, and things started to shift in her home…pretty quickly.

    Listen in to find out the many positive changes that have since occurred in her family as a result of her courageously taking that first step forward into plant-based eating (spoiler alert: her husband’s change is the biggest!). I hope this episode encourages and inspires you!
