#92: How To Transition to a Plant-Based diet with Rohini Bajekal
“I retrained as a nutritionist because I want to give people this confidence and the tools to be able to help themselves on this journey.” -Rohini Bajekal
There is a tidal wave of interest in plant-based diets for health, environmental and compassionate reasons. We see evidence of this from food manufacturers, fast food restaurants and marketing. This change is happening even faster than I imagined and with it, it’s important to help others integrate more plant-based foods into their diet in a sustainable way.
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk with Rohini Bajekal who is so passionate about helping people transition to a plant-based diet. Although she works with plant-based eaters of all levels, she loves helping and supporting those at the beginning of their journey because she knows exactly what it feels like and where she struggled the most.
Rohini has so much empathy for those on this journey, but she is also incredibly knowledgable and armed with practical tips and methods to help you be successful.
