Your health. Your life. Thriving... On plants.
This meal plan of recipes is a good starting place if you're ready to try out, or are just beginning a move into, eating plant-based from the typical animal product, and often high amount of processed fat and processed food containing, Western type diet, as a number of recipes will include some or all of the following: processed oils, some plant-based cheeses, that often are made from processed oils, and some other processed food items.
These oils, cheeses, and processed items are in this program in that they can help ease the transition from a typical Western diet, as easing away from a such a diet may best be accomplished slowly.
This allows for a more gradual, and hopefully minimally noticeable, reduction and eventual elimination of higher amounts of fat, processed fats, and processed foods over time as you move in the direction to a fully whole-food, plant-based diet - that will still contain fat by the way, but in its whole-food form, such as from nuts, seeds, avocados and olives for example.
Also, the recipes are editable so you can swap out ingredients for things you prefer, and the nutritional, preparation, and shopping items will update accordingly.
When you're ready to go beyond this type of plan, you can construct one on your own, and or acquire one of our other tailored plans, that in our coming Intermediate category will show whole-food, plant-based substitutes, onto our Whole-Food, Plant-Based category that for the most part will eliminate these items all together (with some exceptions for very minimally processed items as options).

Accordingly, (check in your mind all that apply): I'm here because I;

... have concerns about my blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels and maybe have even been told one or all of those things are getting high and that I need to do some lifestyle changes to combat it as a first measure, and have possibly heard that a plant-based diet is a key way to impact all of these issues or
... feel like I'm tired too much of the time and just don't feel like I'm as full of energy as I think I should be and want to change this or
... feel "okay" but am concerned about my long term health and want to give my body the best opportunity to be healthy and more energetic so I can pursue all that I enjoy and want to discover or

A bit more, about me - Robert Curtis (D.C., A.C.E. Certified Health Coach and Fitness Nutrition Specialist) - your plant-based health host and guide...
I'm a graduate of Cleveland Chiropractic College and previously earned a bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences from the New York Institute of Technology.
In my professional career I served over two decades as the staff chiropractor for a multi-specialty primary care medical group in Los Angeles, All Care Medical Group, of Verity Health Care, through early 2017.
Over the course of my position there I also served as a Qualified Medical Evaluator for the state of California leading to further study and credentialing as a Certified Medical Examiner for the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Seeing the impact diet and lifestyle had on patients' health, and my own health, and the transformative effect of going on a whole-food, plant-based diet, I became more drawn to a mission of spreading the plant-based message.
Along the way I became a Certified Health Coach and Fitness Nutrition Specialist with the American Council on Exercise (A.C.E.), and have gone on to focusing on plant-based nutrition and well being related issues to help people transform their health and thus their lives.
Glad to see you here and to be of any help I can : )
