My guest is Kiki Nelson, but you may know her best as @PlantifulKiki. Her book, Plantifully Lean is turning heads, but what turned my attention to Kiki was her transparent health and weight loss journey.

As a young adult, Kiki struggled with her weight and suffered all of the ill consequences as a result - high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, hormonal imbalances, lack of energy - and none of this was optimal for a young Mom of two active children.

Two things really moved the needle for Kiki - and they are the cornerstone of the work she does today. She found simple whole food, plant-based nutrition and she did (and still does) a lot of work around self-compassion, forgiveness, and self-love. 

The results? In a little over a year, she lost 70 pounds and reversed those lifestyle diseases.

Today, you can find her on her social media channels dishing up plenty of recipes and inspiration, and you can find her book Plantifully Lean on bookshelves now.
