“When I say plant-based, I don’t mean you have to go vegan or start eliminating everything from your diet. All it means is adding more colors and greens to your diet. Think of where you can add a vegetable into your smoothies or lunch and start there. It’s important to try new vegetables. We need them for energy and for our brains to function at their fullest potential. By just adding colors, you’ll start to notice your plates will be packed with more nutrients. I find that when you eat colorful, you feel colorful and vibrant. Naturally, eating is emotional so you have to be mindful of what those emotions might be. Make sure that your kitchen pantry is just set up in a way that is in alignment with your wellness goals and plan your meals.”

“What I mean by that is implementing movement that is mindful and feels right for you. A workout shouldn’t be a chore or dragging your feet. It should feel good and fulfilling. That’s how movement has to feel otherwise you won’t stick to it. We’re all complex and multilayered people, so we have to find joy in exercise that feels right on an individual level. When we do something because we want, we start to realize our body’s strength and flexibility. I find that, personally, a slow-tempo activity works best for me. It’s easy to feel defeated but when you find what works for you, it’s important to remain consistent.”
