Hello guys and welcome to the Lean of Plants podcast. I'm Chelsea, former overweight, healthy vegan,

confused about why I couldn't look like my favorite plant-based influences, even though I was

chugging back green smoothies every day. After a decade of unsustainable vegan diets,

I learned the truth about weight loss, lost 40 pounds,

mindset you'll need to get slim for life. I'm stoked to have you here. Let's get started.
