- Building a pantry checklist
- Reorganizing your kitchen
- Stocking the right tools
Talk to Your Healthcare Providers
It’s wise to touch base with your doctor as you make dietary changes, especially if you’re taking medication or have a more complicated health history. Check out our tips for starting the conversation, as plant-based nutrition is still unfamiliar to many providers.
Jumpstart Your Health
Our Plant Powered Jumpstart is a motivational and educational experience to help you make the most of your dietary transition. If you’re looking for guidance, accountability, and a peer community, consider enrolling in the next Jumpstart!
If You Want to Maintain the Lifestyle…
You’ve learned the ropes and made healthy plant-based eating a major part of your life. Here are ways we support you to maintain those gains.
Peer Mentorship & Support Circles
Take advantage of our Lifestyle Mentorship program to get matched with a peer to guide your transition. Once you’ve done a Jumpstart (which also includes mentorship), taken a Food for Life class, or explored the lifestyle on your own, you’re also eligible to join a Lifestyle Support Circle.
Overcoming Hurdles
We all have our slip-ups, weak spots, and stressors. If you need help overcoming common hurdles — like living with people who don’t share your lifestyle or dealing with cravings — we have some tips.
Meet Your Community
We host regular community-building events like dinner socials and potlucks. Check out our events page to see what’s up next.
