My guest today is an award-winning health educator, a professor, a speaker, a best-selling author, and an overall lovely lady whose extremely passionate about mindful, plant-based eating. Lani Muelrath discovered through personal experience and training that mindfulness practices are a proven method of getting beneath the surface of eating obstacles – after she had already discovered that eating plants is the way to go fo sho!! She’s written many books about plant-based eating and living, but her latest one: The Mindful Vegan - is all about how your struggles around food -- like excessive snacking, compulsive or emotional eating, battling with cravings, overeating, or other struggle shtuff can be alleviated by implementing a mindfulness practice. So needless to say: be prepared for your mind to be blown. Or at least FULL...by the end of this chat.   Get ready to hear:   What mindfulness IS and how you can get crackin’ on a daily mindfulness practice. How I apply it daily on the subway. The difference between eating mindfully and over analyzing what you’re eating. What a wandering mind is and why you probs don’t want to have one anymore. What mindful EATING is. (Spoiler: it has zilch to do with counting your bites.) How & why eating plants is actually a mindful eating practice in and of itself. And much more!   Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets from this episode!
