Hi Friend,
Are you tired of waking up every morning to the same health problems, aches and pills, or have seen loved ones suffer from chronic diseases and want to change your path? You’re now plant-based curious or ready to start your transition, but that’s where you’re stuck.
You don’t know how you’ll move away from a carnivore-style diet with meat-heavy mains, and wonder if this change is even DOABLE with a busy schedule working, taking care of the home, or looking after grandkids. You’ve tried to research online but find the flood of information and new plant-based terms overwhelming, and don’t know what’s credible. Most of all, you’re afraid it’ll be expensive, you’ll lack nutrients like protein and that it’ll take hours in the kitchen to make bland tasteless meals. If this sounds like you, I want you to know that you’re in the right place!
Welcome to the ‘Plant Based Eating Made Easy’ podcast. I’m your host, Anna - a master’s level plant-based Registered Dietitian and Transition Coach - with 20 years of dietetics experience. I’m also the Founder of PlantNourished and an award-winning recipe creator. I’ve watched friends and close loved ones suffer and families torn apart by health problems like sudden heart attacks and cancer. Diabetes, high blood pressure, multiple cancer diagnoses, and heart problems all run in my extended family. And having gone through my own plant-based diet transition feeling lost with no guidance or support, I know just HOW challenging this transition can be – especially if you’ve been used to a ‘meat and potatoes’ diet for most of your life. But through my transition experience, I’ve now developed a simpler and easier method to move to plant-based eating – one that I can’t wait to share with you!
I’m on a MISSION to simplify plant-based eating for you so you can transform your health the stress-free way. This podcast will give you top tips, simple strategies, uncomplicated recipes and real-life guidance so you can easily begin a plant-powered lifestyle. I’ll address potential transition challenges, and provide clear nutrition guidance from my plant-based dietitian expertise, so you can fast-track your way to thriving health. I’ll give you practical solutions on how to make a seamless transition along with inspiration, motivation and real-life stories to show you the health benefits that a whole food plant-based lifestyle can bring.
I’m here to help you gain more energy to keep up with the grandchildren, drop unwanted pounds, optimize your nutrition and regain your health through whole plant-based foods. Together we’ll build you a life with less chronic disease, pills and side effects, so you can truly live your BEST life now with the people you love.
So, if you’re tired of going at it alone, and are ready for clear guidance and straight talk, grab your favorite cup of tea or pop me in your earbuds as you walk, and let’s dive into the amazing world of whole plant-based foods together. Moving from a heavy meat-and-processed-foods diet to better health shouldn’t be difficult or complicated. Let me show you how doable and stress-free moving to plant-based eating can be!
Wishing you the best health,
~Anna

59 | Better Kidney Function & HbA1c on a Plant-Based Diet (and Pills Cut By 85%!) – Interview with Rhonda [Part 1] {Plant Based, Inflammation, Diabetes, Depression, Anxiety, Blood Sugars, Pain}
What’s it like to have an autoimmune disease, resulting in borderline kidney failure and be on the verge of needing a kidney transplant? It must have been really scary to deal with. That’s what today’s guest Rhonda faced. She had just been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called IgA nephropathy which significantly impairs kidney function, and in her acute hospitalization, it was found that her Glomerular Filtration Rate (GRF) had already dropped to the super low level of 12. She was about to be put on the transplant list, but she wasn’t even 50 years old yet and still had a full life ahead of her, not to mention another grandchild on the way to love.
Yet, following the advice of her kidney doctor, she decided to give plant-based eating a try…and what results she experienced within just 6 months of making this change! Hear about the health transformation Rhonda experienced in part 1 of this Guest Interview. Not only did her kidney function improve naturally, her HbA1c dropped drastically from 8.2 to 5.4, her mental health got better and she went way down in pills. Listen in to learn more of Rhonda’s story and be inspired!

54 | Why a Calorie is NOT a Calorie for Weight Loss - Especially on a Plant-Based Diet {Plant Based, Lose Weight, Plantbased, Drop Pounds, Whole Foods, Get in Shape, Weight Loss, Goals, Resolutions}
Have you ever heard of the saying that ‘a calorie IS a calorie’ and believed it? Perhaps you’ve tried very calorie-restricted diets in the past for this very reason. You know, the ones that have you count every single calorie eaten during the day and limit you to tiny portion sizes of certain foods. Sure, it works for a season, by reducing your total daily caloric intake, but constant macros and calorie counting becomes exhausting to keep up long-term.
So, is it ALL about the calories, and should we just assume that all calories are equal? Not quite. There’s definitely more to this story and I want to tell you about it. In this episode, I’ll give you 3 reasons why we can’t treat calories from different foods all the same. Curious to find out more? Then tune in. I’ll meet you on the inside!

Customer Reviews
Such a great show!
Very informative & Anna makes it easy to understand & implement clean eating!
Now I can wrap my head around WFPB eating!
I have mostly been eating whole food clean for about 20 years. For the last six years or so, I have had a predominantly keto diet. My health has still not been where I wanted it to be. Upon recent research, I decided to look into vegan eating. That's when I found Anna's podcast! I BINGE LISTENED to the first 54 podcasts in about 2 weeks! Let me tell you it is VERY difficult to change your mindset from high fat/moderate protein/very low carb to high protein & carb/low fat!
Hearing Anna has opened my perspective and changed my paradigm about eating grains, beans, & other healthy carbs. I've specifically learned that Whole Food Plant Based eating is not "just veganism".
Anna makes it all make sense in very practical, easy to digest ways! I love the simplicity of her podcasts and the recap & action steps at the end of each episode.
This podcast has been a great resource and I eagerly await each new weekly episode!
*One favorite tidbit: For me to adopt the mindset that my husband IS on this same journey- just at a different stage than me!
THANK YOU ANNA!
Very informative!
If you’re interested in eating for your health, I highly recommend this podcast! She offers great insight and wisdom for your health journey!
