Hey everyone!
Today, I’m highlighting two crucial resources that have played a significant role in both my journey and that of many of my clients towards a plant-based lifestyle. I’m sure you’ll find them beneficial. Below are several links for easy access!
First up is **NutritionFacts.org**. Founded by Dr. Michael Greger, this platform offers the latest nutrition research in an easy-to-digest format. Here’s a quick overview:
– **Evidence-Based**: Grounded in scientific research, providing insights on various health outcomes.
– **Non-Profit**: It’s a public service, meaning no ads or corporate sponsorships. NICE!
– **Updated Content**: Regular new videos and articles interpreting the latest research.
– **Books**: Dr. Greger authored “How Not to Die” and “How Not to Diet”
– **User-Friendly**: Search by topic and access a plethora of free content.
– **Daily Dozen**: A checklist for optimal health, highlighting foods and activities.
In a nutshell, NutritionFacts.org is a comprehensive hub for anyone keen to delve deep into diet and health relationships.
Next, we have **Forks Over Knives**. This documentary-turned-movement emphasizes the health benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet. A brief rundown:
– **Film**: Released in 2011, it explores how diet can combat many chronic diseases, featuring experts like Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn.

– **Testimonials**: Showcasing numerous success stories from those who’ve seen significant health improvements.
– **Extended Resources**: From cookbooks to apps, it offers various tools to assist in your plant-based journey.
– **Community Impact**: It’s ignited vital discussions on diet’s role in health and environmental sustainability.
To sum it up, “Forks Over Knives” presents a compelling case for the transformative power of diet.
Both of these resources have been invaluable in guiding and enriching my plant-based voyage. Turn to them for a blend of inspiration and information. Happy exploring!
