My Experience Attending the Plant-Based Prevention Of Disease Conference

Published on September 16, 2015September 16, 2015 by The Planted Vegan3 Comments

About a month ago, I heard about the P-POD Conference, a plant-based prevention of disease conference being held in Raleigh, NC. I immediately knew I need to go. I started looking at the speakers who would be speaking, and that just made me even more excited. If you know anything about plant-based nutrition, you know Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. He was going to be one of the main speakers there, and that just confirmed I needed to be there.

Dr. Esselstyn sharing how he’s reversed heart disease in his patients with food alone!

On Thursday after my last class of the day, I headed down the mountain. I live close to Raleigh, so I just stayed at home and drove back and forth each day for the conference. It was great being home for a few days, because I got to snuggle with our pup Toby and see my family.

Today, I started the morning off with the last of my orange juice. Perks of living on my own: getting to drink straight out of the bottle!

While my bread was toasting, and water was brewing for my coffee I had a few sprays of my B-12 supplement and ate half of a Brazil nut as a selenium supplement. Did you know that one Brazil nut has your daily dose of selenium?! Pretty cool!

Next up in my breakfast making routine is brewing my coffee. Once I pour the hot water into my French press, I let it sit for about 5 minutes which takes lots of patience! Continue reading “What I Eat In A Day | August 30, 2015” →

What I Eat In A Day | August 13, 2015

I’m back in my apartment this week, which means back to my typical breakfast! Two slices of Ezekiel bread with peanut butter and blueberry jelly. I had along side it two yummy peaches and a banana with some coffee. I’ve been sprinkling a little bit of cinnamon into my coffee grounds before brewing it to give it a little extra kick. Also, I think I’m secretly wanting it to hurry up and be fall time.

What I Eat In A Day | August 7, 2015

I was back at home, and out of my apartment for the week so today’s food was a little different than it typically is. For breakfast, I didn’t have my “usual,” but instead had two slices of (slightly burnt..oops!) Ezekiel cinnamon raisin bread drizzled with maple syrup and two bananas. I also had a cup of coffee, with some almond milk added to it.

My mom has a huge container of herbs, and the basil was growing super tall. I picked off several stems and started to dry them to make some dried basil. It’s really easy to do! All you have to do is pick some stems of an herb, then tie a string (yarn or twine works well) to the end of the stem, and then tie each stem to a coat hanger. Hang the hangers in a dark, dry closet for a few weeks and you’ll have some awesome/flavorful dried herbs! Super simple and inexpensive!
