Customer Reviews
Love the Plant Centered and Thriving Podcast!
Thank you so very much for providing such a wonderful resource. I have been focused on plant based nutrition and trying to move in the direction of being more whole food plant based since early 2020. Each episode serves as a helpful reminder of why I want to continue on this path. I very much look forward to the latest episode and I frequently revisit prior show notes for plant based books I have on my reading list. Thank you!
Always look forward to listening!
I always look forward to hearing stories from others and learning even more about plant based living! I am relatively new to this world (about 2 years) and I haven’t looked back- this has been the best decision my husband and I have made.
My favorite podcast!
This is by far my favorite podcast. Great information on nutrition and so much more. The guests are amazing. Listening has peaked my interest and led me to research even more on my own. I get so excited when a new episode comes out!
