Chef Nathi Toro is a plant-based chef, educator and nutritionist focused on women’s health and helping humans have a healthy relationship with food.  After a cancer diagnosis at a young age she turned her health around by following her intuition and switching to a plant-based diet.  10 years later she is still cancer free. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The topics we touched on:</span></p> <ol> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to navigate eating a plant-based diet with your meat-eating family.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why you shouldn’t underestimate your loved one’s ability to change.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to break down common misconceptions around meat equals muscle.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The impact stress and the Standard American Diet (SAD) has on your risk for cancer.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Why being extremely restrictive in what you eat can become an unhealthy obsession, even when you are obsessed with being healthy. </span></li> </ol> <p><br /> <br /> <br /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quotes</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I can eat super healthy and sometimes I eat whatever is available.”</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was really nice to be able to be compassionate enough with them and they were a mirror to myself as to how much I needed compassion for my own body and not be super strict at all times.”</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>Thank you for listening!</strong></
