Description

What would you do if your 37-year-old husband had a stroke out of the blue—while raising six kids, including twin babies? That’s the moment Allie’s world turned upside down and became the start of a total shift in how her family approached food, health, and healing.

Frustrated by vague advice like “eat a heart-healthy diet,” Allie dove into the research and discovered the power of a plant-centered plate—especially the role of fiber and accessible plant-based proteins in reducing inflammation and supporting her husbands recovery. Now, as a plant-based nutritionist Alisia shares how her husband’s health dramatically improved, what actually worked in her busy kitchen, and why perfection isn’t the goal—progress is.

Whether you're curious about plant-based eating for energy, heart health, or longevity, this episode is full of simple, doable inspiration. Be sure to give it a listen!
