E29 - Bethany Stec Janicek - Mrs. Love Chard

Hi Path Menders,

This week on the Mended Paths Podcast I am pleased to bring you my conversation with Bethany Stec Janicek a.k.a. Mrs. Love Chard! Not only did Bethany lose 80 Lbs and keep it off, she ignited a passion within herself to share the power of the Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle with the world! She and her husband, Zane, run the awesome website Love Chard. She is a certified plant-based nutrition coach and helps others lose weight, reach body freedom, and gain a greater self-love. I love their moto "Work hard, Play hard, Love Chard!"

In today’s show we discuss (show notes):

- Her history; weight issues, dieting, and a desire to change (1:10),

- Dr. Fuhrman's "Eat to Live" PBS Special opened the door to her Whole Food Plant Based journey (5:10),
