Have you ever looked in the mirror as an adult and thought, "you know, I really figured that my health would have turned out better than this?"
You are not alone.
Ali Essig
CERTIFIED PLANT-BASED NUTRITIONIST
4 years ago I was you. Feeling frustrated and drained, but craving a healthier lifestyle. I knew I should be feeding my family more fruits and vegetables, but they didn’t want to eat them, and I didn’t want the battle. I wasn’t willing to make the change even though I knew deep down I should.
And then, one year later, my husband had a stroke. And I realized that I NEEDED to make this a priority no matter what. I changed my family’s diet as a mom with six kids, 8 years and younger, with a husband recovering from the after effects of his stroke. No formal nutritional education. Not knowing where to start and just jumping into it.
And we got incredible results: All my husband’s health numbers improved. He lost weight and has kept it off without even trying. BUT I learned everything the hard way. I tried many recipes that flopped. I spent countless hours on research. We experienced bloating and gut issues, until I learned simple tips.
The good news is that you don’t have to go through that because I am about to share with you our pathway for the absolute easiest way to start eating plant-based.
I want to share with YOU how to feel better now and live longer later!
After seeing the incredible change in our family I wanted to shout these nutrition truths from the rooftop. I went back to school and became a plant-based nutritionist. I have now helped hundreds of individuals shift to a more plant-based lifestyle so they can feel better now and live longer later. Just like our experience, my clients have also seen their own miracles from more energy, clear skin, and better hair and nails, to sustained and improved diabetes numbers, weight loss, and help with cancer prevention and treatment.

WHY CHOOSE PLANTWHYS?
Many programs and systems offer one tool in the “health” toolbox.

At Plantwhys, we offer you the entire toolbox. Sometimes you need a hammer, and other times you need a screwdriver. Sometimes you need help with food, other times you need help with mindset and accountability. With us, you get it all.
Let me tell you more about what you’ll get with our signature program.
It consists of 6 months worth of goals, lessons and videos to hold your hand every step of the way. To make it easy for you, I designed the program so you can tackle it on your own time. You can consume all 31 videos at once, "audio book style" or you can take your time and watch one or two videos a week over 6 months and allow yourself to slowly transition over time.

I decided to go completely plant-based and I haven't looked back since. I just feel so good! I went into this not really knowing what to expect, but then I found Alisia and looked forward to her Sunday thoughts on plant-based eating and was hooked right away to all her knowledge.
Last Saturday I ran my first marathon and the entire time I was fueled by apple sauce, bananas, and then half a sweet potato at about mile 22. I was sore the day of but the next day I was pretty much good to go. On Monday, just 2 days after the marathon, I resumed my normal exercise routine. I was shocked at how great I felt and how easily I recovered. I trained by drinking beet juice before my runs and it was a game-changer for me. I used to huff and puff bad while I ran, but when I take beet juice I notice a positive change in my endurance and breathing.
I often get asked if I am bored of my meals. But I truly look forward to meals and the variety of things I can make. I love being able to use my creativity to create my past favorite recipes into new plant-based recipes. So if there is a meal you would like to try to make a plant-based version of, let me know! I'll give it a try.

Hi I’m Rachael. I have four kids and I started eating plant-based at the beginning of the year with PlantWhys. I originally tried this to see if it helped me but was happy to find out how much it helped my son. We already didn’t eat much-processed food but we did eat meat and a lot of dairy.
About 3 weeks in I got an email from my son's teacher. She wanted to know what I changed because she saw so much improvement with my son. He has ADHD and I have spent thousands of dollars trying many things (5k just last year—OT, neurofeedback, diet changes, etc.) nothing helped until we went plant-based. He now is off all medication and is doing amazing in school.
We now love carrot hot dogs, risotto, whole-wheat pasta, and oatmeal. For snacks, we have always had fruits and veggies. We make energy bites and whole wheat muffins. My son was most excited about having whole wheat again. We cut it out at the suggestion of a doctor but that wasn’t what was causing the problem. I am so glad we went plant-based.

Since June I have lost 45 lbs! I used to be around 243 and now I am around 198. I haven’t been perfect, but I have been trying to follow a plant-based diet as close as I can along with exercise and it has shown amazing results! One of the pictures is from June 1st and the other is within the last week in one of my old jeans.
One other huge benefit has been my blood pressure used to be high at 132/81 and now it is normal at 117/72. My waist went from 38 to 34 and my shirt size from XL to medium. I have been able to go running and it doesn’t hurt my knees like before, I don’t snore and I sleep better. All around I am so happy I have done this and mostly from just changing the way I eat.

I enjoyed eating meat, hard to say no to a perfectly cooked rack of lamb or bone-in rib eye! My skin however was not happy with me. I’ve managed my eczema for several years but had a bad break out after eating two 38 oz steaks! I already knew the benefit of plants as most do however I underestimated the power they could have when making it the soul item I consumed. Ali had always underscored the importance of plant-based eating.
PlantWhys was perfect because it did not limit me in eating. There are so many varieties of plants and recipes and Ali gave me so many great ideas. After 3 weeks of eating delicious plant-based meals, my eczema completely cleared up! Normally, I would need steroid creams to get those results but these results came from the inside out! I’ve had Indian food, Ethiopian food, Nigerian food, all plants, no meat or dairy! My skin is thanking me and for that, I thank you Ali! Plant-based does not mean eating like a rabbit! It means the basis of what you consume is plants!
Jessica
I was diagnosed with colon cancer on September 11, 2020. I had experienced a miscarriage in January of that year, and couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. After several months of blood work, I went in for a colonoscopy where my tumor was found. I struggled through chemo and basically ate anything that even sounded appetizing. One of the hardest parts was that I couldn’t eat the healthy food I had enjoyed before because of frankly-it hurt. Eating beans and broccoli gave me horrible gas as I healed from resection of my colon, and the poisonous chemo drugs I had been putting in my body for six months. I lost a lot of weight but that’s what happens when you aren’t eating. When I finished my treatment in May of 2021, I knew I wanted to put myself back into eating plant-based and making healthier choices for myself and for my family.
I was led to the PlantWhys group coaching program. I dove into the course and digested every bit of information they shared. It has taken a lot of work to get my family eating plant based-and there are still times when we aren’t perfect at it. But then I re-read some of the study guides, or I try a new plant-based recipe and it just feels so good. Eating plant-based doesn’t have to be difficult. I used to think it would be so expensive to eat this way-the truth is…my grocery bills are lower-and the fact that our health is improving with each meal, decreases the cost of medical care down the road.
Eating plant-based has given me back control. Six months after chemo, my blood work is all in the normal range and I give a lot of credit to finding this course. PlantWhys saved me. Their approach is so easy. Honestly, they break things down and explain the whys and hows in an easy to understand way. Their philosophy of the 90/10 approach is doable, and gives you room for a Friday night pizza once in a while or some wiggle room for eating dinner at a friend’s house. I am so thankful that I found PlantWhys, and plant-based eating.

As a T2 diabetic for nearly 11 years, I’ve prided myself on consistently keeping my A1C well under 7.0 as my doctors taught. Most of the time it has been well under 6.0. I accomplished this by following the doctor’s guidelines of low carb, high protein diet. By every indication, I felt I was in complete control and doing well.
Suddenly 5 years ago, that changed. I was rushed to the ER and learned that I was in kidney failure. I spent a week in the hospital and another month on dialysis. This left me with 30% kidney function and high blood pressure. I was on 4 high dose medications. I further pushed the low carb high protein diet and saw A1C numbers between 4.70-5.60. Great right?
2 years later I developed a diabetic ulcer on my foot. I was in the hospital 5 days, I did hyperbaric 3 hours/day, 5 days/week for 6 weeks, had doctor visits 1-3 times per week, was on a scooter for an entire year, and nearly lost my toe (or more). I’m so grateful that healed up, but something had to change!!! Thankfully I found Ali Essig and PlantWhys!!! I’ve always been a meat & potatoes guy, so when anyone ever mentioned “plant-based” anything, I was sceptical. I immediately came to realize that for the past 11 years, I was only treating the diabetic symptoms, not the underlying problem.
I’ve now been plant-based since January-2021, and I’m learning how to use plant-based food as medicine. The first few days were extremely difficult, but on day 4, I began to see results, and results are what motivate me. My blood pressure dropped below normal for the first time in years, so with the help of my doctor, I began reducing my BP medications. Thanks to weekly group sessions and personal one-on-one weekly coaching with Ali, I’m well on my way to better health. This experience is changing my life! In 3 months, I’ve lost 32 pounds, and reduced blood pressure medication by 375%. If you’re ready to improve your health, you’d be well served to make Plantwhys a core piece of your program.

I took Ali’s course from @plantwhys and learned so much. It was simple. It made sense. It was empowering. Ali helped me. I love to learn and had so many questions. Ali pointed me to good sources, books, and research. At one point, I was so confused at why, when I was eating healthy, I wasn’t losing the weight or why I didn’t feel the greatest. I learned I was eating too much of all the good fats. Can you blame me, they are so good. The chia seeds, flax seeds, avocados, nuts and more. Give me them all! But, I learned to tone it down. She cheered me through it all, I feel better and I finally lost the post-baby weight.
My family has learned to try new foods. We like some more than others, but it’s been such a good experience and it’s lasting. We enjoy the other foods here and there but since we aren’t eating them all the time. We feel better (and mind you, we thought we were eating healthy all the time).
A few of my favorite takeaways from the class were:
- Keep meals simple. Plan around ingredients, not always a complex meal.
- Diversity of plants! Eating diversity helps the mind and body.
- Research across all healthy diets always recommends eating more fruits and veggies!
If you ever have questions, this is the place for you. Thank you @plantwhys for teaching me!!!

I just recently finished the PlantWhys course. I genuinely can't recommend this course enough.The information is essential for anyone who wants to take control of and make informed decisions about their diet and overall health. Similar information is available from a variety of sources but this course saves you time by compiling it all in an accessible, structured sequence that will show you how to make immediate improvements to your health. Even as someone who has been a plant-based eater for many years, this course helped refresh my memory on many topics, refine my knowledge, subtract things from my diet that were unnecessary or detrimental, and incorporate new things that I'm confident are contributing to various aspects of my health. It is also accessible–They recommend a 90% plant-based diet with 10% wiggle room where you can still enjoy other foods.
Taking this course will likely change your health as well as other aspects of your life. It will help you avoid the pitfalls of diet fads and trends that are pervasive today and empower you with the truth about nutrition. I am not receiving any sort of monetary or other benefits for recommending this––it is simply the information I think will hugely benefit anyone who is interested in improving their health and preventing disease. This is something I wish had existed long ago as I struggled to find a structured way to learn about nutrition and a simple way to explain my food choices to others. I was often met with questions like "where do you get your protein and calcium?". This course answers those questions and many others in ways you may find quite surprising.
Remember, our program gives you:
- Access to our membership—where we show you HOW to eat plant based.
- 31 recorded video presentations and downloadable guides packed with everything from the science behind plant-based eating and politics making it harder, to how to eat out and creating an abundance mindset around eating.
- 21 step-by-step goals to get you from where you are to where you want to be
