About this episode

Have you ever questioned the true cost of what’s on your plate?

We often choose our meals based on convenience, tradition, or taste, without fully considering the broader impact of our choices. But what if those everyday decisions are affecting more than just your body—what if they’re influencing your soul and the world around you?

In this week’s episode, we explore the profound connection between what we eat and the lives we touch. From the ethics of our food choices to the spiritual insights of Ayurveda, discover how a shift to a plant-based diet can transform not just your health, but your entire perspective on life.

Join us as we delve into my journey of going vegan, the challenges and rewards of conscious eating, and how simple changes in your diet can resonate far beyond your plate.
