The Plantbased, Not Perfect podcast is all about striving to be our healthiest selves, while living in the real world. With a master's degree in Technical Writing, Elizabeth explains complicated health topics in a format that is easy to digest. After her mom almost died from congestive heart failure caused by a root canal infection, Elizabeth became passionate about living a healthy lifestyle free from disease. This led her into the plantbased world and eventually inspired her to create #plantbasednotperfect - a sustainable way of living a plant-centric life that doesn't strive for perfection - just encourages making healthier choices to help achieve optimal health.

Today we chat about the simplest topic, but one that there is a lot of questions around: walking as a form of exercise. I always get asked if I get in 10,000 steps a day and I wanted to deep dive on this number to see if it has research behind it and what the science has to say? Is simply walking enough for health benefits and weight loss outcomes? Is there any validity to the 12-3-30 trend? What about the Blue Zones, how many steps do they walk? Plus, how many steps I get in a day and whether I add in steps on top of my regular workout routine? I answer all of these questions and more in this episode.
