Text me what you thought of the show 😊
Imagine navigating a high-stress job, raising a family, training for triathlons, and maintaining a plant-based diet, all while working 24/7 shifts! Sounds exhausting, right?Â
My guest, Erica Lum, is living proof it's possible; as a critical care nurse, mother, wife, and triathlete, she's beautifully juggling the unique challenges of a plant-based lifestyle for shift workers.
In this episode, we dissect the concept of plant-based diets, focusing on how they can enhance recovery, boost cardiovascular health, and mitigate insulin resistance. Erica offers invaluable insights, detailing how she gets enough protein in her diet and where she finds her best sources of plant-based proteins. We also uncover the art of reading nutrition labels and replacing eliminated foods healthily.Â
Lastly, we delve into the demanding world of shift work.Â
We discuss the importance of self-care, rest, and proper time management, highlighting the pitfalls to avoid when transitioning to a plant-based diet. Erica’s inspiring journey and practical advice provide a beacon for anyone considering a plant-based diet, particularly those juggling the demands of shift work.Â
If you are plant-based or thinking that way then you must listen to this episode to empower your plant-based journey, no matter your lifestyle!
