Today, I’m reflecting on the incredible journey that brought me here—and that brought us together in this wonderful plant-based community. A few years back, I never would’ve imagined that a simple shift in what I was eating could lead to such a major transformation.
One plant-based ingredient after another, I found myself not only saying goodbye to 50 pounds but to decades-old habits that once held me back. After 30 years of smoking, I finally broke free and it felt like a fresh start in every way. Even better, my sons’ acne cleared up and our family’s health has only flourished since making these changes.
But the real gift? It’s having each of you here, sharing in the excitement of every new discovery—each recipe, each moment we spend investing in our health and the planet. Every Thursday, I’m reminded of how grateful I am for you and this plant-powered journey we’re on.
Today’s Discovery:
I wanted to share one special ingredient that’s become a staple for me: Low Sodium Tamari sauce (San-J brand). This gluten-free soy sauce is so flavorful, it elevates any dish! Simple yet powerful, this little addition keeps my meals exciting and delicious. It’s amazing how something so straightforward can make such a difference!
I use this in my Asian dishes, sauces, my stew, French lentil soup and so much more. Respond to this email if you’d like a photo of the bottle. It can typically be found at local grocers, Whole Foods market Show me Whole Foods near me now or on Amazon.
Let’s Keep Growing Together!
If you’ve discovered a new ingredient or recipe that’s brought you joy, I’d love to hear about it. Together, let’s keep exploring, learning and celebrating every win.
Thank you for being here and sharing in this incredible lifestyle with me.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
