why go vegan
I like to stress what I call the Three Pillars of Veganism: shifting to a plant-based diet for the animals, for our health, and for the planet. People tend to lean toward one of these, but they are really inseparable issues. It's been said that the single most important thing a person can do for their health and the future of the planet is to go Vegan.
Today we are faced with more illness and disease than ever. A Vegan diet is the first line of defense to help prevent disease and to reverse many diseases that are oftentimes life threatening. Switching to a plant-based lifestyle also reduces the footprint you leave on the planet and relieves the suffering and death of over 100 animals a year. You can learn more about all of these as we start working together.
Whether you want to transition to Veganism permanently, or integrate healthier plant-based habits into your life, I can help you take the next step. Contact me to learn more.
