[party in my plants] 28: How Digestive Enzymes Are Like Spanx (& Why or Why Not You Need ‘Em!) Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

It all started when I posted a photo of truffle french fries in one hand and couple of digestive enzymes in the other. I captioned the photo “the annual digestive enzymes & truffle fries balancing act” (plus some emoji’s) and I watched as tons of messages and questions about digestive enzymes rolled in. So in this episode, I roll out all the information I believe you need to know to determine whether or not digestive enzymes are right for you! I also roll with a great comparison between digestive enzymes...and spanx. Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets from this episode!

[party in my plants] 26: Do NOT Call Your Kitchen Healthy Without These Tools Mar 16, 2017

Show notes

I totally understand that it might not be your instinct to buy a ton of kitchen gadgets. You might be reluctant to trade your time for money and then trade that money for some unnecessary kitchen tools. Especially after you got that completely unnecessary banana peeler. I get it. But I also get how daunting it can feel to be like “let me just whip up a healthy dinner” and then look at your bare hands and a potato, wondering what to do next. So in this episode, I share the top kitchen tools that, in my plant-party experience, are MUST HAVE’s if YOU want to have healthy meals easily coming out of your kitchen and into your mouth!
