About

northern california most of our married life. we have two amazing adult

in i started my first food blog. at that time i

followed what i considered to be a healthy version of the standard american

diet. i blogged those recipes and my ups and downs

my highest weight i wore a size 16! i have spent most of my adult life yo yo dieting

what a terrible way to live

his eat to live book and read it. the

amazing! i was curious so i started researching plant based diets. my ldl

to go on a statin drug. dr google was telling me that a food plant based

diet is what i needed to do! i wanted to control my health naturally

achieve a healthy weight that i could maintain. a food plant based diet

meat loving hubby to tell him what i wanted to do. he has always been

was ready and willing to help. that is

plants. initially i spent far too much time looking at recipes and preparing

elaborate plant based meals. we both lost weight and felt amazing. but later

doubled down and really practiced the principles of the eat to live pro but the weight wouldn't budge

dr fuhrman message boards and of course her cooking videos. i had some dialogue

processed food addiction education

we all have a story - here is a glimpse at mine

i have been happily married to tom

since we are both originally both from nebraska but have lived in

children

blessed beyond

day in 202 i saw dr fuhrman on a pbs special. i

timing wasn't quite right but i thought it was interesting. then i saw dr

fuhrman again in on the dr. oz show

cholesterol had been climbing a little bit each year and i was determined not

looked like the solution

after reading several wfpb books i sat down

supportive of my dietary changes and my challenges

animal products - he would eat what i fixed at home but was going to continue

to eat animal products away from home. of course even that changed over time

now he is completely wfpb

i must admit that at

first i had a difficult time wrapping my mind around how to build a menu around

that year i started gaining weight around the middle

my eyebrows were falling out

the amount of exercise. i ended up being diagnosed with

hypothyroidism. even after going on levothyroxine i couldn't lose the weight. i

then i heard john pierre and chef aj's on line

ultimate weight loss pro and i was already familiar

wouldn't lose weight on her pro because of my thyroid issue. she revealed

to me that she also had a thyroid problem and still lost weight eating this

way. that was all i needed to hear - i joined the last day you could sign up

creating the uwl pro and sharing their knowledge

missing from all the other wfpb pro i am familiar

in tom and i spent a week
