Simplifying Plant-Based Nutrition | Tips to Thrive (part 1)

Welcome to the first episode of The Ellen Fisher Podcast! To kick off the show I thought it fitting to go in depth on one of the topics I’m most passionate about, abundant plant-based nutrition. I’ve learned so much over the last 15 years on my vegan journey both from experts in the field as well as from my own experience, and I am so excited to share this information with you more in depth than I ever have before. Because it can be easy to get confused with so much conflicting information out there. Today we are going to clear the mud and simplify nutrition to make sense of the noise that is diet culture. I like to take a balanced approach that really considers both the large body of scientific evidence as well as a logical and simplified understanding towards what’s natural for us based on our physiology and how we are designed to thrive.

There’s a lot I want to cover so I’ll be breaking this up into two parts. In part 1 today I’m going to cover:

• My healing story
• A few of my favorite plant-based books/resources
• The break down and simplification of plant-based nutrition from the overwhelming scientific body of evidence. (resources shared below)
• The Blue Zones and what it tell us
• What our natural diet is as a species based on physiological traits and natural inclination
• Food subsidies
• What isolated versus whole foods are.
• THE DETAILS: what foods are best for our health
• Optimizing your nutrient bioavailability in food
• And a little on specific TIPS TO THRIVE... but more on that in part 2
• Balance is key
  

I hope you thoroughly enjoy this episode and feel empowered to take charge of your health and promote longevity through plant-based nutrition which positively impacts not only you, but others and the world around you. And don’t forget to listen to part 2!
As always, consult with your trusted healthcare provider before making any drastic changes in your diet, especially If you are on medication. And hey, don’t take my word for all this, do your research too so you can stand strong in your own conclusions.
