What Goes into Being a Healthy Vegan?

Choosing to live a vegan lifestyle doesn’t make you healthy.

Wait…what?

You heard me. Just choosing vegan foods isn’t necessarily healthy, as I discovered early on as I enjoyed soda and non-dairy cookies and other junk food that turned out to be no better for my wellness than my eating habits before I was vegan.

Enter macrobiotics: the lifestyle that I used to save my life, quite literally speaking. With this ancient wisdom, I found myself equipped to build on the wisdom of my Italian ancestors and to understand the impact of food on our bodies. I now had a toolbox packed with ways to not only save my own life but to help guide others on their own journeys, which can be wrought with confusion and doubt.
