Optimizing one's vegan plant-based diet so it is healthier

Stress Management & Anxiety Reduction To Promote Lower Cortisol Levels And Better Health

Nutrition Optimization And Promotion Of Healthy Aging With A Whole Food Plant Based Regime Incorporating Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), or olive fruit extract capsules, if don't want to eat any oil at all, and, if desired, organic cold-pressed hemp seed oil (for ALA Omega-3 and Vitamin E Complex), organic cold-pressed chia seed oil (for ALA Omega-3), and/or organic cold-pressed wheat germ oil (for Vitamin E Complex)


Designing and following a well-planned individually tailored nutrition regime to improve health and prevent disease, based on recent peer-reviewed Research, that is consistent with the book How Not To Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease, by Dr. Michael Greger (available at Audible.com for easy listening), and publications by Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. T. Collin Campbell, with the excepion of incorporating small amounts of special oils: Organic cold-pressed Hemp Seed oil (for ALA Omega-3), Organic Cold-Pressed Wheat Germ oil (for good natural source of Vitamin E Complex), Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) or olive fruit extract capsules, due to the unique benefits of olive oil, if desired; and generous allowance of fats from nuts, seeds, and avocados; Personal Nutrition Testing; and Biofeedback

Reducing symptoms of an Auto-Immune disease by focusing on habit change, such as avoiding gluten (for people who have a sensitivity to gluten, even though tests show they are not gluten-intolerant or allergic to it), and animal products, effective stress management, improving sleep quality and quantity, and incorporating movement in a way that releases endorphins and improves mood, in a way you enjoy doing


      *More people now have an Auto-Immune Disease (i.e., Eczema, Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, etc.) than all the people with heart disease and cancer combined, and the rate of Auto-Immune diseases is increasing.   Auto-Immune diseases are not contagious.

Effect Of Smoking On Auto-Immune Diseases

Changing one's mindset regarding food, one's relationship with food, discovering the unique effects various may food have have on you, finding any unknown food allergies/unique sensitivities, and dealing with feelings that may have caused barriers to being able to lose weight in a healthy way and sustain the desired weight loss over time


Initial Measurement of progress done by seeing improvement in blood tests rather than losing weight, due to the fact that improvement in these things may show before weight loss


Focusing on creating habits necessary for sustainable weight loss:   Improved sleep quality and quantity, which can effect hunger hormones, Stress Management, which can eliminate the need for emotional eating, focusing on the effect different foods and substances have on the body, incorporating movement, in a way you can enjoy doing, that can burn calories and build muscle, which burns more calories, and also releases endorphins, which improves mood


Keeping the focus on the Alignment Of These Habits, rather than on the weight loss itself, and trying different things until finding those that work best for You over time


Viewing food as preventative medicine based on research

Giving up things you are addicted to by diverting your focus to goals that may be more important to you and to improving your life




Finding ways to increase your Self-Awareness enough to Reduce the Urge for Emotional Eating, or anything else you may be addicted to, and Transcend these Addictions in ways that are sustainable for you

Drawing from the Audible books discussing Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine, as discussed by Dr. T. Colin Campbell in his Audible book, The China Study, and the many Audible books by Dr. Michael Greger and Dr. Neal Barnard, to tailor individual plans to work best for the individual, by focusing on them as a whole person in a holistic way, in ways that work best for them personally and that are sustainable over time by them, by continuing to keep their focus on their self-care and recent peer-reviewed research regarding Nutritional Science

Finding ways to Lower blood sugar, blood pressure, LDL Cholesterol, and Triglyerides, and reduce your risk of Heart Disease, Type 2 and 3 Diabetes, Fatty Liver, and Cancer, by incorporating the results of credible peer-reviewed research in ways you can sustain over time


This can be easier to do by focusing on learning about what different food does for the body and how some foods have been found to be harmful, according to recent research, and focusing on improving Health, and reducing your risk of Cancer, rather than focusing on losing weight or appearance, because reducing your risk of Cancer, lowering your blood sugar, lowering your blood pressure, lowering your cholesterol and gaining healthy arteries, can all be done without losing weight, and can be a lot easier to do than losing weight -- leaving the matter of Weight to take care of itself gradually and sustainably with your improved health


It can be easy to feel discouraged if you can't see results in weight-loss/muscle development, which is very hard to do for many people.   Improvement in blood tests may often be seen before weight-loss/muscle development, so it can be very helpful to focus on measuring improvement shown by blood tests and blood pressure monitoring, so you can feel encouraged by this, rather than focusing on weight, and let weight-loss be a later side-effect of improved health that you are not focusing on

Finding ways to incorporate information from the latest research regarding nutrition in a ways that are sustainable for you over time




Finding ways to eat with very low levels of acrylamides, lectins, and heavy metals in ways you can enjoy




Finding ways to socialize in ways that are holistically healthy and finding Flexible Eating Environments





It can be easy to feel discouraged if you can't see results in weight-loss/muscle development, which is very hard to do for many people despite exercising more and eating less.   Improvement in blood tests will often be seen before weight-loss/muscle development, so it can be very encouraging to focus on measuring improvement shown by blood tests and blood pressure monitoring, and let weight-loss be a later side-effect of improved health that you are not focusing on




Rewiring your brain/building new neural pathways in your brain to come to view eating food that research has found to be the healthiest as things you "get" to do rather than something you "have" to do

Cultivating self-compassion, self-love, self-acceptance, confidence, and awareness of how your body, "imperfect" as it may be, helps you do the things you love to do, and cultivating an appreciation for keeping it as healthy as you comfortably can based on healthy habits developed over time

Cultivating and aligning with a Vision of what you want so that you are acting on being inspired by your Vision rather than relying on willpower

Identifying what is needed for one's own personal Self-Care, considering one's unique needs and preferences, believing that Self-Care is not Selfish, and seeing that effective Self-Care, when tailored to one's unique needs and preferences, can increase one's performance and ability to care for others
