Testimonial Tuesday: You can lose weight eating a better version of the standard American/Australian diet and exercising, as Lorraine did two years ago. She used a yoga and meditation retreat as an opportunity to turn the corner to plant-based eating earlier this year and hasn’t looked back. She describes having amazing energy, is no longer pre-diabetic, her cholesterol is within the healthy range and she feels truly alive, happy and grateful.

You can use our immersion retreat on the Surf Coast of Victoria as an opportunity to turn the corner with your health. We offer yoga, meditation, healthy whole food plant-based food over the 6 days plus intensive education showing you how to optimise your health. Our next immersion starts on Sunday (19th May) and if you are interested we might be able to squeeze you in (subject to accommodation availability). We also have retreats happening in September and December this year. www.wholefoodsplantbasedhealth.com.au/immersion/

Lorraine lost 80 lb., beat high cholesterol, and ditched prediabetes by "crowding out the bad with the good": eating more plants and fewer animal products.
