In this episode of the Maxime Sigouin Podcast, I sit down with Alisia Essig, creator of the YouTube channel Plant Wise. After her husband’s stroke and her dad’s sudden heart attack, Ali dove deep into plant-based nutrition to protect her family’s health. She shares the challenges and wins of making the switch, along with practical tips for staying consistent—like quick recipes, getting enough protein, and finding balance with exercise as we age. Ali also talks about her new podcast Eat Meat Sparingly, inspired by her faith, and the mindset shifts that helped her turn hardship into purpose.

Key Quotes

“There's no genetic history, there's no heart arrhythmia. There really was no explanation, and they said because he has had one stroke, he's actually likely to have another stroke in the future. So you really do need to take following a heart healthy diet more seriously. And what is a heart healthy diet?" -Ali.

"People over-complicate the process of preparing food because they're trying to hit every single little vitamin and mineral inside of one meal and they just think it seems like a science experiment for them to be able to hit everything in one meal when they start."-Maxime.
