"There's a huge misconception that when we look at someone its an automatic indicator of how healthy they are"Welcome, Rachel Jones,  one of my former clients who is a stay at home mom of three.  Rachel was diagnosed with a Chronic Kidney Disease (IgA Nephropathy) at the age of 26.  She has also struggled with being overweight almost her whole life and when she met me, her main focus was to get the weight down.  What happened instead was to change her mindset around the obsession over weighing herself and the "number" on the scale.  Today, Rachel's kidney disease is in remission.  She has combined her love of vegan/plant-based cooking and photography after receiving a food photography scholarship.   Rachel is hoping to spread the message that plant-based/vegan eating is accessible, abundant and beautiful.  This is an amazing conversation that could have continued for hours.   It is an episode full of information and pearls of wisdom and Rachel's passion and enthusiasm are infectious.  I know you will love her as much as I do. Resources from this episode: "How Not to Die" by: Dr. Michael Greger, MD  "More than a Body" by: Drs.
