The partner Pods strongly believe in supporting each other. Members participate in potlucks, restaurant outings, and online meetings with special guests. Pod leaders connect with area organizations to increase awareness of the power of food for health and sustainability. Karoline’s quest for health started in childhood seeking freedom from obesity and depression. In 1981, her family added whole grains and lots of raw vegetables to their standard repertoire. After coming to the United  States from Germany to study for her Ph.D. in Chemistry, she learned more and more about diets. First, she explored vegetarian, then vegan,  and in 2011 she discovered whole-foods plant-based. The last was where she found her community. In 2015, she trained as a Food for Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) to deliver nutrition and cooking classes. After watching PlantPure Nation in  2016, she was excited to join the Pod movement. Connect with KarolineWebsite: Karoline MuellerInstagram: @karlinasplantkitchenFacebook: Karoline MüllerYouTube: Karlina's Plant KitchenEmail: ettental@yahoo.comWebsite Link for this episode:https://www.healthylifestylesolutions.org/227All the show notes for our episodes are located on our podcast website:https://www.healthylifestylesolutions.org/Connect with UsWebsite: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsInstagram: @maya_hls_podcastYouTube channel: Healthy Lifestyle SolutionsSubscribe to our newsletter: Our NewsletterLeave us a message: Speak Pipe VoicemailRate Me: https://ratethispodcast.com/hlsSupport the show
