From healing to EatMoveRest

This week on Vedge Your Best, Erin Stanczyk of EatMoveRest.com shares the health struggles that pushed her to question the standard American diet and eventually build an entirely different life around food, movement, and rest. 

Symptoms like anxiety, brain fog, sluggish digestion, irregular cycles, and high cholesterol in her twenties led Erin to search for answers beyond quick fixes, which led her to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle.

One step led to the next.  After hearing Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, letting go of animal products one step at a time, working through protein fears, and discovering that simple really is sustainable, Erin and her husband Dusty went on to build EatMoveRest.com. Now they share recipes, wellness tools, an app, retreats, and their family cookbook, The Happy Healthy Plant-Based Cookbook. (The Stanczyks | EatMoveRest)

Michele and Erin also talk about raising plant-based kids without perfectionism, leading by example instead of pressure, making healthy food colorful and fun, and why “rest” is about much more than sleep. This is a practical conversation for anyone who wants to feel better, start smaller, and build a plant-based life that works in real life with real friends and family, not just in theory.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Erin’s early health struggles and the search for answers

• Food as medicine and the shift to whole-food, plant-based living

• Why eggs were the last thing to go
