Check back regularly for the latest on following a plant based diet, staying fit, personal spirituality and living a balanced life. I will be sharing my experiences as well as providing answers to some of the questions sent to me.

I will be posting some of my favorite recipes and hope to somehow find the time to setup some cooking demonstrations. I also will be posting some great resources for those who want to learn more about plant based diets.

I believe that today is an awesome day,

but tomorrow is going to be even better!

Great videos to watch

I am constantly looking for more information on diet and how it relates to heart disease.  One of my best sources is You Tube because there are so many videos available from experts in this field.

I am including a few links from programs presented by Dr. Esselstyn that I highly recommend to anyone who is concerned about preventing or reversing heart disease.  These videos contain information regarding the affect of our diet on our health as well as choices we can make to prevent or reverse heart disease.

"Make Yourself Heart Attack Proof"

Caldwell Esselstyn, MD of the famed Cleveland Clinic gives a FULL 62 minute talk from the 2003 VegSource Healthy Lifestyle Expo.

Dr. Esselstyn's ongoing 21-year study shows that you CAN reverse heart disease and save your life. Of 20 patients sent home to die by their cardiologists in 1989, every one is still alive and healthy today, and heart-disease free, even though together they had had a total of 63 cardiac events before entering his study.

"Fake Obesity Experts"

By Jeff Nelson


Many top obesity "experts" claim they know how to solve the obesity problem. Except they just can't seem to do it for themselves. There's one group of experts who are the exception -- whole food, plant-based diet experts. Their diets work. You wouldn't take financial advice from a pauper! Same rule applies when trying to get slim and healthy.    (3 min 38 sec)
