It\u2019s not about forcing. You can\u2019t force anyone to eat healthily but, you can seduce people and you can because you are the walking example of what it can do to you. \u2013 Marie Claire\r\n\r\n\nOn this episode of the Plan Simple Meals Podcast, I\u2019m really excited to talk with Marie Claire, an energy coach for experts, author, speaker, and certified raw food coach about raw food and reigniting our energy. \r\n\r\n\nWe talk about three main problems that lead to disease: toxicity, undernourishment through overeating, and trauma. Marie Claire believes that every problem holds a solution, so by finding the main problem in disease, we can find a solution. When you are toxic, you need to detox. When you dehydrated, you need to hydrate. When you have experienced trauma, you have to process the trauma. \r\n\r\n\nWhen you start eating a plant-based diet, you cut out a lot of toxins and additives that are made to get you hooked on foods. You start infusing your body with intact vitamin, minerals, and enzymes. It\u2019s incredibly effective in a short time. Maybe going plant-based or eating healthy every day feels impossible. Marie Claire\u2019s clients often say that too \u2026 but change is possible. We dive into that. \r\n\r\n\nWe also talk about: \r\n\r\n\nThe challenges of eating out and ingredients to watch out for\r\n\r\n\nHow to eat healthy when with family or friends\r\n\r\n\nBoosting your immune system before travel and other travel tips\r\n\r\n\nDigestive enzymes to optimize digestion\r\n\r\n\nHow it is easier to stay miserable than to change and how to deal with the mindset\r\n\r\n\n\r\nBIO\r\n\r\n\nMarie Claire, an energy coach for experts, authors, and speakers. She\u2019s a certified raw food coach who started her own business after 50. (You wouldn\u2019t know to look at her that she\u2019s 61.) After getting diagnosed with 6 different diseases, being paralyzed and in pain, she was treated and sent home, still feeling terrible, and told to take an antidepressant. That\u2019s when she discovered raw food. After 10 days of going raw, she was surprised to notice she had no pain. Three months later, the diagnosis of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome were wiped away. She felt like she was given a fresh start and began her business Ravishing Raw. She later rebranded as Energy for Experts and helps busy professionals and women entrepreneurs make changes that lead to increased energy and health.\r\n\r\n\nLINKS\r\n\r\n\nEnergyforexperts.com\r\n\r\n\nhttp://ravishingraw.com/wordpress/\r\n\r\n\n\r\nDoable Changes from this episode:\r\n\r\n\nSTART THE DAY WITH A GREEN SMOOTHIE. For seven days, replace your first-morning coffee with a green smoothie. You may be resistant, but commit to it and notice how it feels. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\nSET UP SYSTEMS. Your system could be to make a batch of green smoothies for the week or to set up four days worth of salad on Sunday. The system saves you time (it\u2019s quicker to batch prep than to prep each day). It takes away the excuse, \u201cI don\u2019t have time\u201d when it comes to making breakfast or lunch. And it means you don\u2019t have to decide each and every time to make a healthy choice. You set yourself up for success. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\nBRING A HEALTHY TREAT. If you are going to a party or dinner, bring something that you know you can eat and enjoy \u2026 a fabulous salad with homemade dressing, a raw dessert, beet tip with cucumbers \u2026 check out the Plan Simple Meals recipes for ideas. Bring enough to share and get over the mindset that you are \u201cdifferent\u201d by eating the way that makes you feel fabulous. \r\n\r\n\r\n\n\r\n \r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/a207c722-6ecb-4df5-881a-b20295f45547/marie-claire-podcast.jpg"}
