Description
The Plantbased, Not Perfect podcast is all about striving to be our healthiest selves, while living in the real world. With a master's degree in Technical Writing, Elizabeth explains complicated health topics in a format that is easy to digest. After her mom almost died from congestive heart failure caused by a root canal infection, Elizabeth became passionate about living a healthy lifestyle free from disease. This led her into the plantbased world and eventually inspired her to create #plantbasednotperfect - a sustainable way of living a plant-centric life that doesn't strive for perfection - just encourages making healthier choices to help achieve optimal health. Podcast topics range from health and wellness, plantbased studies and interviews, to food and finances, emotional and mental health, skincare and everything in between.

At nine weeks postpartum I thought I would share how my #postpartum journey has looked, what I learned along the way, tie in some research of course and give you tips and tricks from my personal experience. I watched so many videos on tik tok and YT before giving birth to learn about what I needed PP so I felt that an episode like this could be very helpful to anyone pregnant, planning to have children, or if you are just interested to know. From food and fitness, to hydration, mental health and recovery, we chat all things postpartum as I share my personal experience along with studies on: oats and milk production, caffeine consumption while breastfeeding and average weight loss postpartum.

For today’s episode I thought it would be interesting to break down whether oat milk is "bad" for you because it seems to consistently be demonized in the media and I wanted to know for myself since I personally like it. We cover the three major arguments people pose when discussing oat milk and break down what the science has to say about each one: It raises your blood sugar. It is a source of seed oils which are “bad” for you. It is sprayed with glyphosates which lead to cancer. I also share the flip side which is the positives of drinking oat milk and help you make the decision best for your health. Question from IG. Can you share a bit about how pregnancy impacted your movement routine? Connect with me @hautehealthy @plantbasednotperfect hauteandhealthy.com

With the California School Food Safety Act banning the state’s public schools from serving or selling foods containing six synthetic food dyes and protests at Kellogg to remove synthetic food dyes in U.S. products, driven by the the Food Babe Vanity Hari, plus discussions on this topic at the Senate - I felt like it was timely to deep dive on food dyes.

Today we chat about the simplest topic, but one that there is a lot of questions around: walking as a form of exercise. I always get asked if I get in 10,000 steps a day and I wanted to deep dive on this number to see if it has research behind it and what the science has to say? Is simply walking enough for health benefits and weight loss outcomes? Is there any validity to the 12-3-30 trend? What about the Blue Zones, how many steps do they walk? Plus, how many steps I get in a day and whether I add in steps on top of my regular workout routine? I answer all of these questions and more in this episode.
