Let’s talk plant based this week! Here a little more about our guest:
Pamela’s interest in health and wellness blossomed in her twenties when she began a quest to absorb all of the nutrition information she could get her hands on. She had just graduated college where she ate fairly well but had some struggles with her health nonetheless. Her resultant health quest soon led her to learn about the meat industry and how animals we consider “food” are treated in the system we in the West call “agribusiness.” She became a vegetarian from that research, but that wasn’t the end of her journey. Years after going vegetarian Pamela started learning about other aspects of animal agriculture as well as the health implications of eating animal foods, and quickly realized that being vegetarian wasn’t enough. It was then that she made the decision to go vegan.
“Our lives are only as good as our health. I founded Plant-based IQ to educate my clients about the link between diet and disease and help them create their own path forward as they transition in part or in whole to plant-based eating. My goal is to enable the betterment of my client’s health, the health of animals, and of our planet. A plant-based diet has been shown to be instrumental in halting and even reversing heart disease and other “diseases of affluence” by turbocharging the body’s ability to heal itself. I educate others about how and why diet can have such a powerful impact on disease outlooks and make the case for moving toward a more plant-based diet.” – Pamela DeRitis
