If you are struggling to lose weight on a plant-based diet you are in the right place:
I WANT TO HELP YOU ON A DEEPER LEVELÂ
 ...Change takes time; it's a gradual dance of progress
If you’re like most people who struggle with weight, you know that one challenge or video isn't going to change much. You need support. You need accountability. You need a sustainable plan that embraces patience and compassion with yourself as well as consistent action.Â
From Alisia Essig,
Plant-Based Nutritionist
Women should not be losing weight like men! The masculine approach is to count macros, intermittent fast, eat lots of protein, and follow a "bro" workout plan. And that works great if you are a body builder. But most women over 40 who have had a constant struggle with weight need a different approach.
Women who have struggled for years with their weight most likely need help with overcoming emotional eating. Women over 40 who have struggled with their weight for years have a harder time losing weight and need to practice more self compassion. Most women don't need to eat as much protein as men. And for some women, intermittent fasting can throw off your hormones and make you "hangry" all the time.
So what's the answer? What should women do instead? That is why I have developed my signature program, Empowered by Plants. I want to finally empower you over your constant struggle with weight. I want to help you believe that YOU can do this. Weight loss isn't for everyone else, it is for you too!
But I can't teach and support you in just a few days, it's a series of small steps and consistent efforts that lead to lasting transformation. Surround yourself with a supportive community, seek guidance from experts, and most importantly, be kind to yourself throughout this journey. With the right support and a determined mindset, you can achieve your goals and create a healthier, happier version of yourself.Â
BUT HERE'S THE TRUTH:
You can read every single book on the planet, watch every single documentary, and watch every youtube and instagram video…
You can learn everything about everything nutrition….
… and STILL not make lasting changes to your health until you have these three classical things mastered: Faith, Hope, and Charity.
#1:Â
Faith in the process. (losing weight through a plant-based diet)
Faith in the program. (Empowered by Plants)
Faith in yourself. (You can do this! Success is meant for you!)
#2:
Hope that your weight loss dreams will come true. Hope in the future you desire.
#3:
"Charity Never Faileth" You have to love yourself through it all. Have compassion. Give yourself grace.
It is very rare that anyone who has struggled with weight for years can reach their weight loss goals successfully on their own.Â
And until you have a system in place with expert guidance, accountability, a structured approach to overcome emotional eating, old habits, and overeating, plus a strong community with long term support… you won’t get the results that you desire.Â
There is a reason that the AA program for overcoming alcohol addition is so successful. In the program they focus on:
- Admitting you are not in control your addiction.
- Recognizing a higher power can give strength.
- Examining past mistakes.
- Making amends.
- Living a new way of life.
- Helping others.
Â
Why do we think that weight loss is any different?
You need a program that helps you overcome food additions, old habits and emotional eating. You need support. You need help from a higher power. You need a program where you can live a new way of life, make amends and give back.
You need Empowered by Plants.
Now we just need to decide which level of Empowered by Plants is right for you.
I developed this program with three levels of support, so that anyone can get the help and support they need with what they can afford:

Confused by all the options? Here is a chart to help you understand what you are getting at each level. This chart also shows the full regular price for each program:
I know this is an investment, no matter which level you choose.
But please keep in mind that research has shown that most vegetarians spend $750 less per person per year on groceries, which is $23 in savings per week per person!
Eating vegan could slash your food costs by up to 33 percent. Going vegetarian could save you nearly as much as a vegan diet. You could even save about 14% by eating a flexitarian diet with lower amounts of dairy and meat. A flexitarian diet includes vegetarian meals, though you still eat meat occasionally.
With the rising cost in groceries, that savings is expected to rise.
Even just a few tweaks to your diet can be the difference that saves you thousands of dollars in your lifetime!
Chances are, you can already see what a BETTER diet will do for you, right?
And let’s not just look at your next grocery store trip...
...but for every trip to the grocery store moving forward... and for every other person in your family that you buy groceries for!
Because…
YOU GET TO TAKE EVERYTHING YOU LEARN ABOUT EATING A PLANT-FOCUSED DIET WITH YOU FOREVER.
And look, the mistake most people make when it comes to their eating habits is they think if they just count their calories or macros and eat less for a short period of time that they will magically keep the weight off over time. But let me ask you…
What diet do you think creates the most lasting change? A diet focused on protein? A diet focused on fat? Or a diet focused on fiber????
If you guessed fiber, you were right.
Research shows that focusing your diet more on fiber rich foods (i.e. plants) creates the most LONG TERM change.
So if you eat this way long term, that is a savings of $750 a year, or $7,500 every 10 years and $15,000 every 20 years! And that is just for one person’s diet. Imagine if you have a family of 8 like I do!
And that doesn’t even take into account all the cost savings from future medical bills down the road.
If you join any of our programs and apply what you learn, in the end, you will not only save money, but gain energy, health, and obtain your optimal body size.
But don't take my word for it, check out the results our students are already experiencing!

I have been fully immersed in the PlantWhys program for almost six months now, and it has changed my life! I was that person who has a shelf FULL of books about eating plant-based! I have been drawn to that way of eating for so many years, for many reasons, but I just never could get motivated on my own, or figure out how to implement it in my life; especially because no one around me eats this way.
I feel like it was divine intervention that led me to Ali and her program. The minute I heard her story, I felt impelled to find out more. After an initial consult with her, I decided to make a leap of faith timewise and monetarily, and I have not regretted it for one single moment!
Not only have I learned about and experienced all the health benefits of eating plant-based, but I have learned how to live it in my everyday life. They walk us through everything step by step, and it is actually so easy! We have videos to show us how to cook, amazing coaches and a wonderful support group where we can chat, ask questions, work through challenges, share recipes, and just be encouraged and accountable with the goals we set. Plus there is a weekly training with Ali where I have learned so much!
She doesn’t just address the eating part of it, she also teaches some amazing mindfulness lessons, and provides meditations and exercise videos too. It has been incredible to see how this program has changed and evolved just in the six months I have been in it! They are adding more and more valuable things every day, and I cannot recommend it enough!
I’m turning 65 this month, and I intend to eat this way for the rest of my life! My cholesterol is dropping, I’ve lost 12 pounds without even trying, and I’m just excited to continue this wonderful health journey!! I feel better than I have in years, and I will be forever grateful that I found the PlantWhys program!

There are certain things that mentally and emotionally the class has helped me with. But also physically with food, pre-gaming on vegetables and feeling the difference in my body. I am now noticing that I ate a lot of sugar and CHEESE before. I can’t believe how much cheese I ate before and didn’t even realize it! But one of the benefits has been that after changing my diet, I am not getting migraines anymore.
I was stuck in a victim mentally, but this class helped me take back control. I looked forward to seeing everyone weekly. It carried me through the last 6 months.
I just LOVE how I FEEL. Whenever I talk to others and they tell me they have brain fog, I tell them about PlantWhys! My brain fog is gone. Unless I eat a lot of cheese or sugar then I will feel the brain fog again.
Something else I used to experience was anxiety before going to sleep every night. It would take me a long time to fall asleep and I would toss and turn. But after the class I stopped feeling anxious in the evenings and I can go right to sleep. There are so many ways that this course has blessed my life that I can’t even put all of them down on paper. I would have never realized that making a shift in so many little ways would have made such a big difference in my body.

I've been enrolled in the 6 months PlantWhys course for almost 5 months and I started the course having never been committed to a plant based diet. Immediately, I found community, support, accountability, encouragement, education, and realistic weekly goals and changes that are conducive to sustainable and lasting change.
The thing that helped me stick with it most was the focus on starting small. There's nothing about this course that pressures you to stop eating meat and dairy cold turkey. They want you to understand WHY you're doing it, and they also encourage doing it at a reasonable pace. One week you take cheese out of all of your lunches, and the next week you focus on just making all of your breakfasts plant based.
The course teaches useful topics each week and then she offers a deeper dive in a video that we watch during the week. She provides meal guides with recipes that you can experiment with. One of the best things about the course is the weekly zoom call and the GroupMe chat where we share wins and hard days and encourage each other in our goals, share recipes etc. I have learned so much, and I'm committed to transitioning and getting better and better every day.
If you are on the fence about whether you should take the course, it is WELL WORTH the money it costs. It's an investment into a healthier and happier and longer life for you to enjoy with your family. Sign up for the course, and COMMIT to giving it your all. You'll love it.

The most wonderful thing about this program is that you can’t really do it wrong. You just learn as you go, it is just a continual learning process. There is no wrong way and no shame involved. You just do your best and it feels so wonderful. I am learning to love where I am at and to appreciate what my body has taken me through. It is just such a positive thing no matter what. I am eating more vegetables and LOVING them. I use to not eat as many vegetables as I am now, but I am just loving how they feel in my body.
Jess
What I love about eating plant-based is there are so many things you can make that don’t require cooking in the traditional way. You just go with where you are at. If you don’t like to cook–then don’t! There are so many other ways to nourish your family. If you like making complex recipes then you can go for it, but if you like to keep it simple, you can do that too. Smoothies, grain bowls, or just chopping and adding more plants to the meal. The way I do plant-based doesn’t have to look like how Ali does it. There is a way this can work for you, and it is beautiful.
Kjersten
What I am grateful for with PlantWhys is just the knowledge that helps me make better informed decisions about what I am eating and also knowing what to do when different health things come up. Like when I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and I learned exactly what to do, and have reversed that. It has been really empowering to have this knowledge in my brain. I just have to do what I know I need to do and then I see results.

In this course I have lost weight, but even more than that, I have lost the weight of other people’s expectations.
Erin
Over the years, I have attempted to transition to a plant-based diet several times, but always ran into the same struggles leading to my failure. Sorting through all the contradicting, fear-based information was time-consuming, and conflicting. Although I have an amazing support system, I felt all alone in making these changes for my family and myself. Which made me feel isolated and overwhelmed. Failed recipes from random online sources with complicated ingredients and cooking instructions felt like a major setback when they didn't turn out. Plantwhys was key in me overcoming each struggle I had. Struggles didn't go away, my life was still mine, but Plantwhys provided everything I needed to overcome. The support Plantwhys provided through group messaging, once-a-week classes, personal coaching, and access to a dietitian helped me replace feelings of isolation and discouragement with support and encouragement. The course offered the structure I needed, providing me with the knowledge and confidence to stay motivated. The step-by-step layout met me where I was at making it possible to focus on the goals without pressure. The recipes were delicious and practical to shop for and make. For the first time, I enjoyed trying new foods and cooking in the kitchen. I will forever value the investment Plantwhys is.
