Hi Jimi, |
Collards are a nutritional superstar. |
They’re high in vitamins A, C, K1, and folate, as well as fiber. And more than 30% of their calories come from plant protein! |
But aren’t collards high in oxalates? Should you be worried about pesticide residues? And how can you cook them so they taste good (without piling on the ham, lard, and sugar)? |
Get the whole collards story (and some great recipes!) here. |
Yours for loving foods that love you back, |
Ocean Robbins |
P.S. Are you passionate about nutrition? Are you interested in being a mentor, guide, coach, advocate, or health professional? If so, we have an exciting event coming up tomorrow that you might love. |
Tomorrow at 8 am PT / 11 am ET, we’re holding a free Plant-Based Nutrition Live Q&A event for current and aspiring leaders in the whole foods, plant-based movement. We’ll be joined by the world-renowned (and hugely beloved) Dr. Michael Klaper and dietitians Brenda Davis, Nichole Dandrea-Russert, and Roman Pawlak as we dive into the nuances and intricacies of plant-based nutrition. |
We’ll take a thoughtful look at Omega-3s, vitamin K2, calcium, amino acids, B12, iodine, mineral absorption, oxalates, and other “anti-nutrients,” — and how to address digestive problems and many other critical topics. |
Will you join us, Jimi? |
Register for the Plant-Based Nutrition Live Q&A event here. |
(Yes, we’ll send you a recording if you can’t make it live — just be sure to register.) |
The latter part of the session will focus on answering questions about Food Revolution Network’s Plant-Based Coaching Certification. Keep reading to learn what it’s all about. |
Why did we create this Certification program? |
Because we truly are at a turning point. |
More and more of us are waking up to the fact that what we eat is quite possibly the most important thing we can do for our health, for the health of the planet, and for the lives of animals. |
More people than ever are looking for solutions to the crushing health epidemics like cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disease, obesity, and dementia. People are searching to get healthier, to live longer, to reduce their carbon footprint, and to be more connected to their food. |
Here at Food Revolution Network, we’ve seen firsthand the power of a whole food plant-based diet. Millions of people come to our website every month, and that number continues to grow. |
But we can’t do it alone. There’s no substitute for the depth of transformation that happens when a person works with a coach, an ally, an advocate, or a healthcare provider — someone to guide them on their journey. |
And that’s where you might come in… |
For years, people have asked us to create a plant-based coaching certification program. But while other programs only teach nutrition (and many of them aren’t plant-based about it, either) and/or coaching, we knew we’d have to include three things: |
1 - In-depth plant-based nutrition: specific healing foods, their benefits, and what the research says about how to help people with a variety of health concerns. |
2 - Coaching skills: learning how to help people create lasting behavior change so they can get and stay healthy. (Based on the latest behavior science.) |
3 - Impact skills: being able to make a great living doing what you love and pathways to scale your impact to reach wider audiences. |
We just opened up enrollment for the second cohort of this program, and hundreds of wonderful people have already applied. There are still some spaces left. (But they might not last long!) |
If you want to learn more, join us tomorrow! |
