Have you heard that a plant-forward lifestyle is better for you, but you don’t know why you should make plant-based foods a bigger part of your diet? Or maybe you understand the
why, but you’ve had trouble figuring out

In
Plants First, Dr. Katie Takayasu helps you understand the reasons for prioritizing plant-powered foods to clean up the hormonal cascades that cause cravings and leave you feeling sick and tired. She offers approachable science lessons that explain how a plant-forward diet can correct issues like inflammation and hormonal imbalances to help your body find its healthy weight and experience more restorative sleep.
