32: How NURSES bring Plant Based Nutrition to life! ~ with Joanne Evans, RN

Calling all nurses! AND anyone with an interest in plant based nutrition. 

Today I had the privilege of talking with Joanne Evans, RN - nurse extraordinaire! She's the GOAT of mental health nursing and plant based nutrition. Joanne has been a nurse for 50 years and has seen a thing or two. Not to mention her own journey with mercury toxicity, which is how she discovered the power of plants in the first place. 

Let me tell you a little about her . . . 
She is a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Adult Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing and expert in plant based nutrition. She’s a national speaker, author, mentor, leader, advisor to The McDougall Program, and is on the medical board of the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), and in her "free time" heads up the Networking Subcommittee of the RN/APRN member interest group of the ACLM. 

Today we focus on the nutrition pillar of Lifestyle Medicine. In particular, how you can use a whole food plant strong / based diet for overall health and reversing disease INCLUDING the nuts and bolts of exactly how to do it while saving money. She’s going to share her experience using PCRM’s 21 day vegan kickstart program that helps get people started. 

Joanne also tell us about her newest book, “Cultivating Seeds of Health with plant-based Nutrition” with a forward by Neal Barnard, MD - President of PCRM. This book is a phenomenal intro to plant based nutrition and highlights so many wonderful nurses (you're all wonderful in my book) brining PBN to life with real stories from the trenches. 

Because of her decades of healthy lifestyle, she is able to jet set around the world and actively travels with her children and grandchildren. She's passionate about educating and mentoring nurses, as well as helping everyone make those sometimes hard behavior changes needed to upgrade and optimize health. 

You can find Joanne's book on Amazon, but if you just shoot her an email she'll send them to you directly with an autograph and a few bucks saving$! Just send her an email at joanne32349@gmail.com.
