Avery and her journey with Plant-Based Nutrition:
What motivated you to become a dietitian?
I’ve always been intrigued by the powerful potential of food to treat, prevent, and promote countless mental and physical conditions. It excites me to be able to help empower people to improve their wellness through a holistic and nutrition-focused approach. I believe that food can be an enjoyable part of life, and used to help us achieve our goals.
When did you become plant-based?
I started focusing on a plant-based diet in 2015 and I’ve been loving it ever since!
Why are you plant-based?
Being plant-based aligns with many of my greatest values, notably the importance of taking care of my health, the planet, and other beings. This lifestyle makes me feel more in alignment with myself and the world, and more aware of the impacts of my choices. Every choice is a vote, and I choose to vote towards what’s important to me.
Make sure you have a balanced diet with Avery’s help!
