Neuroveda Podcast for Complex Health #8: RN Jane Esselstyn illuminates the Plant-Based Whole Food Diet: Get it in your kitchen, on your fork & in your mouth!
“It’s an odd panacea, this plant-based diet” which seems to reverse so many different chronic diseases like heart disease, auto-immune disease, common cancers and others, improve symptoms and really hone athletic performance. Learn the juicy details about how to get started and make it inexpensive and easy: no meat, dairy, added oil, minimal salt & sugar. Find Jane’s recipes in The Engine 2 Diet, The Engine 2 Diet Cookbook, Plant Strong & the Seven Day Rescue (authored with her brother, Rip Esselstyn), including her “Lightening Bowl” with lime, jalapeno, rice noodles, rice vinegar & veggies- yum! Hear her tricks for sauces, salsas, a million types of hummus, her favorite kitchen equipment and learn what a Tovolo is. Also hear how ‘plant-based diets’ are under fire from the industry that wants to bring you ‘plant-based foods’ that don’t have any measurable fiber, the indication of plant material, and why junk-food vegan diets are not the same as eating whole, unprocessed foods that get their energy closest to the sun (it’s only a few steps from sunlight to plant vs sunlight to plant to multiple degrees of further processing to a processed gluten-free muffin). “Eating plants gives everyone a chance for a healthy life.”
