My 10th podcast episode is also my veganversary! I’m celebrating 15 years of living a vegan life and sharing with you the ten things I wish someone had told me before getting started.
Whether you’re plant-curious, at the very beginning of your journey or even part-way along I hope that this honest share inspires and motivates you along your path.

- [5:05] #2: Life will get really hard before it becomes better.
- [12:55] #3: You can’t just remove stuff from your life and expect to be healthy and satisfied.
- [15:20] #4: A vegan diet is NOT nutritionally complete by default.
- [17:10] #5: Going vegan is a great way to get to know yourself.
- [20:24] #6: A vegan lifestyle may well end up being more expensive than a non-vegan one.
- [24:45] #7: Everyone becomes a health expert when you go vegan.

Hello Gabriella I’m just not finding my day when I can say right!! that’s it I want Change can you help me here please I’m not obese or looking to lose weight just want to go clean and feel clean inside. How and where do I start
Love —Tass
Hey Tass, if you’re looking to go clean and feel clean inside you should try out a whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet – I believe it can accomplish exactly what you’re hoping for.
I think the best place to start would be to try it out! We recently ran a “Better Body Challenge” where one of the goals was to introduce participants to WFPB cooking (and eating!). We’re not planning to run it again for a while, but if you like I could e-mail you the pdf containing all the recipes? Let me know!
