E.167 The Truth about Plant-Based with Sophie Waplington
This week in my kitchen, I’m joined by Sophie Waplington, the creator of Soph’s Plant Kitchen. We explore the power of plants, nutrition, and the incredible benefits of eating more whole, natural foods. With so much conflicting diet advice online — from plant-based eating to the carnivore diet — it’s easy to feel confused about what’s “right.” But whatever your dietary choices, adding more plants and legumes into your meals can bring huge health benefits, and this episode highlights exactly why.
Sophie and I also talk about the importance of strength training — not just for physical health, strength, and longevity, but also for building confidence, resilience, and a strong mindset.
If you’re interested in plant-based nutrition, healthy habits, or finding balance in your wellness routine, this episode is full of insights and practical takeaways that you’ll love.
