The Diabetes Playbook: Reversing Insulin Resistance without Fearing Carbohydrates
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, or insulin resistance, this free workshop is for you.
In just 30 minutes, you’ll learn simple, practical changes you can make to your food and lifestyle that can have a meaningful impact on your blood sugar — without fearing carbs, following an extreme diet, or committing to a crazy workout routine.
These are realistic, sustainable tweaks you can actually use in everyday life to help improve blood sugar, support better insulin sensitivity, and feel more confident about what to do next.
The workshop is completely free, but you’ll only have access for 7 days — because I don’t want this to become another resource that gets saved to an online shelf and never watched.
It’s quick to watch, simple to apply, and designed to help you walk away thinking:
“Ohhh. I can actually do this.”
No extremes. No overwhelm. Just a clear, practical playbook for better blood sugar.
The Cholesterol Lowering Portfolio: Lowering LDL Naturally, without Extreme Diets
If your cholesterol numbers have started creeping up, this free workshop will show you exactly where to begin.
In just 30 minutes, you’ll learn which foods have the biggest impact on LDL cholesterol, what to scale back on, and — even more importantly — what to add to your plate to help bring those numbers down.
You’ll also learn about the award-winning Portfolio Diet, an evidence-based approach built around specific cholesterol-lowering foods that work together to help reduce LDL. This isn’t about eating less, cutting out everything you enjoy, or following some extreme plan. It’s about eating more of the right foods.
Research on the Portfolio Diet has shown that, when followed closely, it can produce meaningful reductions in LDL cholesterol — in some studies approaching the effect seen with a low-dose statin.
The workshop is completely free, but you’ll only have access for 7 days — just enough time to watch it, put the strategies into practice, and start making changes right away.
How to Lower You Blood Pressure Naturally Without Extreme Dieting or Crazy Workouts
If your blood pressure is higher than it should be, you may be surprised by how much power you have to help bring those numbers down.
In this free 30-minute workshop, you’ll learn the everyday food and lifestyle habits that can make a meaningful difference in your blood pressure — and it goes far beyond simply “eat less salt.”
We’ll talk about the foods that naturally support healthy blood pressure, how to get more potassium and other protective nutrients into your diet, what role sodium actually plays, and how things like movement can affect your numbers.
Most importantly, I’ll help you turn all of that information into simple changes you can actually make.
This workshop is completely free, and you’ll have access for 7 days — giving you plenty of time to watch it, choose a few changes to focus on, and start putting them into practice.

How to Lose Two Pounds in One Week Without Trying Very Hard
If you want to see the scale start moving without starving yourself, counting calories or macros, or spending hours at the gym, this free 30-minute workshop will show you how.
You’ll learn how to structure your meals so they are filling, satisfying, and naturally lower in calories — while still giving your body the protein, fiber, and nutrients it needs.
This is not about crash dieting or trying to be perfect for seven days.
It’s about learning a simple approach you can use to create a calorie deficit without feeling deprived — and using one focused week to build momentum. Weight loss becomes a side effect when you learn these simple and practical tips. (And don't worry, you won't be sacrificing on flavor!)
The workshop is completely free, and you’ll have access for 7 days, so you can watch it, put the strategies into practice, and see what happens when you make a few intentional changes.
You don’t need to eat less food. You need to learn how to eat more strategically.
***This is a 30 min class and is not the same thing as the How to Lose Two Pounds in One Week Bootcamp. The Bootcamp is a week long mini-course with more support and info. You can grab the bootcamp for $37 in the PlantWhys marketplace****

The PlantWhys Podcast
Want to go deeper than recipes and quick tips?
On the PlantWhys podcast, we explore the science, the practical strategies, and the bigger “why” behind eating more plants, improving your health, and taking better care of your body.
You’ll hear conversations about nutrition, weight loss, cholesterol, blood sugar, strength, longevity, faith, mindset, and what the research actually says — all broken down in a way that feels practical and easy to apply.
I also bring on incredible doctors, researchers, and health experts to help you sort through all the conflicting information out there and figure out what really matters.
We go deeper into all the reasons why you know what to do, but may not be doing it. And because I'm a mom of 6 I talk about practical strategies that work for my family. (And FYI: I am also a religious person, so I do mention faith and God in some of my episodes.)
So whether you’re listening on a walk, driving kids around, cooking dinner, or getting ready for the day, come learn with me and leave each episode with something you can actually use.
