Ep. 169 | Greater Energy, More Confidence and Weight Loss to Goal Weight in 3 Months Eating Plant-Based – With Client Arthur [Part 1]
Sep 15, 2026
Does change seem impossible because you feel so entrenched in your current ways of eating and living? And how can you change from meat heavy plates if you don’t even really know how to cook? That was the case for my client Arthur. Yet he wanted to lose weight, live longer and stay healthier to be around more for his growing little grandkids.
So he decided to take the FIRST step forward. He committed to working together with me. Then within as little as 3 months, his eating habits, choices and weight all changed for the better!
