Intro

What is plant-based in “real life?"

This week Nancy Albertson—Michele’s long-time Virtual Assistant and behind-the-scenes right hand since the beginning—talks about her vegan practice, the health changes, and why she believes “plant-based people are hiding in their homes.” You’ll hear about everyday choices, the social hurdles, and the kind of community support that helps people stick with it.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT

• How Nancy started in 2019 after watching Forks Over Knives (twice) and feeling “a switch” flip
• The health changes that surprised her (including reduced inflammation and joint pain relief)
• The hardest part of plant-based living: the social side- What helped with family gatherings: bringing a vegan dish and staying steady over time
• Why Nancy thinks plant-based people exist everywhere… but often stay quiet- How community makes it easier to keep going (and feel less “weird”)
• Nancy’s Food Revolution Network Plant-Based Coaching Certificate experience and what it gave her
• Teaching plant-based cooking through local adult education classes (including Buddha bowls and baking)
• Common questions she hears (especially protein) and how she answers them
• Easy “starter steps” that don’t require perfection (beans, tofu, veggie burgers, reading labels)
• Her Rockport Public Library talk and what she hopes people walk away with
