I love getting to sit down and open up with you guys and I hope you enjoy it, too. There is no shortage of misinformation on the internet and it leaves many truth-seekers feeling confused, hopeless, and defeated. While we are continually educating and arming ourselves with knowledge, we didn't start this TH-cam channel to spout off statistics, prove points, and shove nutrition down your throat. We created EatMoveRest to lead by example and share our journey as a (now) young family, to hopefully inspire, encourage, and empower you guys to pursue you passions, change your mindset, take better care our yourself, and ultimately, live your best life! The biggest takeaways...remain open, seek understanding, and TRUTH will make itself known to you!
EatMoveRest Your Best,
♥ Erin & Dusty

I felt a kindness shift 12 years ago when I eliminated meat from my diet. It’s like something physically shifted & lightened in my body. And eating plant based has been a beautiful gift to feel more connected to Gods gifts. Things that grow from the Earth are just so beautiful & special. Your right, they are soul food… I continue to live the life I do because I have become more connected to the Earth & more at one with our creator. I also loved how you said don’t eat it, if you don’t need it. There are many things I definitely don’t need anymore & so many more nourishing & healthy foods have taken their place. Sending love & light to your family & channel!
Xoxo Danielle
Thats amazing Danielle, we feel like the same thing happened!
I also experienced this feeling of lightness when I stopped eating animals. It is like this subconscious weight had been lifted and I could see and think more clearly. I hadn't realized before the impact consuming violence had on my soul. When you start living in line with your own innate morals there is a subtle but real mental shift. It feels so good!
I am so sad to see that you are in a position where you have to defend yourself. It sounds like you have had to deal with toxic shaming and I find that sad. You have been such an inspiration to me!! I love watching you and your family and appreciate all of your knowledge! I love eating this way too and I am really cleaning up my diet right now to help me with some physical ailments and stress from a personal situation. I am excited and inspired again thank you!!
This made me cry. I needed to see this today. It's been a hard few months. Thank you for the reminder to keep going, to keep finding my truth for the sake of me and my beautiful children ❤️
It was our “BLESSING” to encourage your husband and this video showed the sincerity of your heart Erin and “YES” we were there to get the cashew butter because of YOU !!!
That’s so awesome!! Thanks for commenting!🙏💚
I cried with you... This video was the most emotional for me. Thank youfor bringing colours and light to me.
Awesome! Thanks so much for the uplift. I needed this so much this morning. I appreciate you being here.
I’m not vegan but I’ve followed you for years and I absolutely love and respect your approach to life! You guys have taught me what it means to love and take care of myself and my family so thank you!
I felt like you were telling my heart's story ❤ thank you for being so raw and honest, Erin 🌼
You are so welcome!
Love you, Erin! And I don’t mean that in a “love you as long as you provide a perfect vegan image.” I mean love you as a sister in Christ! My fam is not vegan, but I love the positivity you spread…and even when you share something sad or negative, it’s about growth, not about condemnation. The Holy Spirit convicts our hearts, but not condemns us. Those are different and you show that difference so well, calling people (starting with yourself) toward truth and not being afraid no matter what the truth is. Just embracing it. And loving people even if they are at different stages in life or see things differently. Love and truth belong together! May Jesus fill you with His peace today, thanks for sharing this video ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed hearing my thoughts. I really appreciated your response, thank you!
Oh dear Erin.
I so needed to hear this and see you, as I’ve “been away” from your channel for a while. Thank you for sharing your beautiful heart ❤
Welcome back! Thank you for listening!🫶🏼
Love this! So glad to know that you are a Christian.
I’ve watched a TON of your videos but this one is my favorite to date. Thank you for being so open and insightful!
You are so welcome!
Sending love to you and your family (plus some to the people who are hating on you guys because clearly, they need it). Thank YOU for being such a positive influence!
I liked this message about listening to all sides of issues and keeping an open mind. When I messaged Dusty a question in response to something he posted about COVID, he blocked me so walking the walk is definitely a big part of the puzzle.
Haha can't win em all I guess, sorry about that!
Thank you so much Erin! That was a timely and kind message. It so came from your heart. You are so articulate and good at what you do (both of you are) we know it’s not all sunshine and roses and that’s why there is grace and lots of it to go around. His has given us everything we need on the planet to live a vibrant lifestyle, and you and Dusty are part of that bringing it to us every week. You both have a special gift, don’t ever stop!
Thank you so much, that means a lot Judy! We won't stop!
Dear Erin. Thank you for this video. It brings me joy to listen and watch your beautiful family. I have been in a dark place not so long ago, and I have prayed and got to see the light. Now I am on a journey to wellness, eating mostly whole food plant based, and I am seeing the changes in my body and feel good. I am in my sixties, but it's never too late to shift and focus on the real life closer to nature.
Blessing to you all.
I'm writing from Germany and following you're videos. I love them and this made me get to tears. Thank you! I'm totally with you.
So glad this spoke to you!
I rarely comment on videos on TH-cam, but I watch every single video that you guys posted. Our bodies are our temples, I love the way you guys talk about food, because it comes as not only a message of being vegan but also self care. I wonder why it is so easy to help other people, tell our friends to take care of themselves, but it is so hard for us to do the same for ouselves. This industry made us believe that nothing that we buy, consume, live is enough. So I'm thankful that you guys speak a lot about listening to our bodies, as you said so many times, eat, move, rest... we don't need much to live a happy life. I hope you and your family feel as blessed as I am living my truth. Good energies and "virtual hugs" from my family in Brazil.
Wow. I loved this video and your message; well done. You and Dusty are such a positive happy and healthy influence in our lives. Really enjoy your content and always love seeing the littles.
That means so much, thanks Jan!
You guys are so spiritually encouraging. Thank you for that.
I appreciate your unashamed, unapologetic faith as you share your life and wfpb journey. Lean into our God and continue to seek truth. Love your videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Wow Erin! This was amazing… really helped me to put my own mental health into perspective. I’ve struggle since giving birth in the pandemic. My daughter gives me faith over fear… she gives me hope. To see her thriving on a plant based whole food diet lights up my life. We are not perfect at it yet… still mastering it… and have skeptics about it too challenging us. But it is our truth… I believe it will set us up for a health and happy life. Thanks for this wonderful ☺️
Thanks for your transparency. This lifestyle is challenging indeed but rewarding as well.
I love your authenticity!!! God bless you and your family!!
Thank you Carol!
And what fun summer earrings to boot! Thanks for this!!
Appreciate all you had to say about faith and food. It reinforced my own thoughts for where I am on my journey. Thank you for putting words to it.
I’m unapologetically vegan number ONE for my fellow animals on this planet. I am predominantly WFPB because I honestly believe it is the healthiest diet for my species.
I don’t apologize for my ethics whether in regards to how I honor God, how I fight for social justice (my species , all other animals, the environment), how I raise my children, how progressive I am and so on. My ethics drive my actions and choices and when they don’t, I’ve fallen short.
I truly believe once the awakening begins, you never go back. I feel so much closer to God and my fellow beings since I became vegan a decade ago . I’ll never close my heart again.
I love your vulnerability here❤️
Same here. I feel like some people are getting colder and more heartless and some are growing more compassionate.
If you’re talking about the one true God, then idk how close you would feel to Him if you were a Jew during the days he required animal sacrifice. Let’s remember it was also a pleasing aroma to Him when the fat of the animal burned and the Israelites were purifying their hearts! It’s a LIE that you will get closer to God by not eating animals. The Old and New Testament has much to say about this. God committed the first animal sacrifice in Genesis to clothe Adam and Eve as well.
I do not understand how not eating animals is somehow a morality standpoint. It is a-moral.
@@potluck712 And I respect your right to your opinion and beliefs. For ME it is one hundred percent a moral issue and I feel closer to God now that I ever have. May God continue to bless you.
Crushed it, your really laid it all out here and I’m so proud of you, this is inspecting - watch until the end!!
Thank you, my love!
Such a supportive husband 🙏🏼
She really did!
I follow Jesus. I honor our Lady. I am extremely progressive. I don’t eat animals or their secretions.
It’s crazy. I often have people assume that because I’m vegan and I follow a clean (WFPB) diet that I am republican, conservative etc.
I feel like people are co-opting the term veganism without researching what it originally meant. And they throw junk food vegans into the liberal box and WFPB people into the conservative box.
It was always meant to be about causing the least amount of harm as possible which as a couple who enjoys research, you probably already knew.
It is a kind way to live. It is a Godly way to live. And sadly, I feel like it has been almost weaponized😢
*Hi can you both please tell me your date of birth, or your birth year and zodiac sign.... and are you both the same blood types? Would you please tell me both of your blood types. I'm currently investigating Blood type diet as I cannot have any fruits or Veggies as it causes ibs and other issues so I'm trying to figure out if it's coming from me being a 0 negative blood type and having to eat meat or mostly meat. Thanks so much!*
O blood type is not the problem. Your gut is not healthy.
Highly respect you Erin! I'm not only thankful for content like this but also so grateful for having the chance a while back to have a conversation with you! I continue to take so much of what you've shared with me each day and just know I'm grateful for you, your family and your authenticity! Cheering for you!
You are such an amazing inspiration. Thank you for being genuine and sharing your journey. Love you guys
What always amazes me is how people can hate others for doing things differently! This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and I haven’t heard you once asked people to do what you were doing. You and your family are doing whole food plant-based and others choose any of a myriad of other diets to follow and many are successful.
This video is why I’ve watched you guys for so long…. Your honesty, spirituality, knowledge, ethics, all of it! You guys are a gold standard 👆🏻. Your family is lovely, I’ve been watching you since baby Max days, and will continue to follow along.
I’m almost 60 and I’m learning things from you guys all the time!!
You and Dusty are full of pure joy and awesomeness. Max and Biv are lucky little munchkins!!
Thank you for always sharing!! Sending love from Dallas, Texas!!
We love your beautiful family! We love this style video. I use your ebook all the time! I would recommend to anyone!
I suffered from obesity since childhood. WFPB completely changed my quality of life. It also got to a point where my body was giving up on my because I wasn't giving it enough fuel. Now for the first time in my life, I'm comfortable in my own skin and I'm so grateful for this great gift that's come onto my path in life. People ask me all the time if I feel restricted, but the truth is that I feel so liberated from not being a slave to wanting to overeat or undereat, but instead knowing exactly what I need in order to be my best and happiest self. I'll never give up on this lifestyle and I'm forever thankful for every lesson I've learned, that includes your videos! I was so afraid of adding in whole food fats into my diet again, but they healed me and gave me my period back. Thanks for everything, love from The Netherlands. X
Amazing, good for you Eline keep it up, and thanks for sharing!
I don’t normally leave comments but I just had to before I even finished the video. I really appreciate your honesty and a reminder that we all face the same fears no matter where we come from. I love that you love god and seek him in your guys path. I decided to go on this journey of eating healthy from watching you and another family. I began to eat healthy and then fell back into bad habits. It was extremely surprising how different I felt eating healthy vs eating animals products. I have sense started eating plant based again. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Thank you for being honest and genuine. Ps my daughter just had a baby and I have sent her your links to feeding her baby healthy options. I planted the seed.
Thank you so much for those honest words… and speaking your truth! ❤️
Really heartfelt and I feel your truth. Thank you for putting yourself out there and being raw and honest with your feelings. It takes courage.
Thanks for watching!!
You articulated this so beautifully and from the heart. I truly believe that this is the way God intended for us to eat. He provided the Garden to us before sin entered the world. There was no pain or sadness and the lion laid alongside the lamb. What a peaceful, beautiful vision of what life can be. 🌼
Amen to that! So glad you enjoyed this talk!
Love this 💗💗💗
ACTUALLY…there are no biblical passages that refer to the lamb and the lion lying down together.
“The wolf and the lamb shall graze together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall do no evil or harm in all My holy mountain,” says the LORD. Isaiah 65:25 (NASB)
And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead them. Isaiah 11:6 (NASB)
It’s wolf…but I get what you are saying.
I really hope this video speaks to you!! Share your story in the comments and Connect with me on Instagram! :) instagram.com/ErinStanczyk
Best video you've ever made, Erin. I don't know what triggered you to make this at this time, but it's so needed. And, you're right: this is not about food, it is about humanity. I pray every day that we'll find it as a specie. There's more chaos than there's ever been in my 71 years. Thanks for your vulnerability.♥
Erin, you are amazing, never never forget that! What a beautiful testimony. I knew from day one when we started watching your channel we were on the right path. We thank you both beautiful souls for all the phenomenal, inspirational and loving work that you embrace and share with the world. 😘.
Thanks for sharing in our journey with us! We appreciate you!
I didn't need to go on a retreat for you to make me cry, this did the trick. Thank you for this video. I really needed this. Keep doing you, it helps more than you know.
I'm so glad this spoke to you!!!
I was listening to your video while my drive from the doctor. Thanks for you words. I feel like my new chapter can be achieved and that I need to trust myself. It's sad that some people harm others happiness. You guys are amazing and I love watching all your videos. It's a relief to know there is positive and loving people out there. By the way you made me cry as well.
I was raised Catholic but I now consider myself Buddhist. Your remarks still resonate strongly for me! (Just wanted to share that.❤️) I too have received unpleasant and unkind remarks from friends or family who are uninformed about or threatened by a plant only diet. After 9 years on this journey this social dimension is still an area of struggle. I try to remember that most people are getting totally different information from their doctors. It is reasonable from their point of view to trust the doctors and not me.
Please keep doing what you do! Your honesty, and willingness to share your life is so brave 🙏🏼🥰👏🏻
Thank you so much, Mary!
Wow...that was very heartfelt Erin!! Thank you for posting this. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you everything you stand for Erin and all that you do to make my world a better place.
So glad I found you ❣️
You are so welcome, thank youuu!
First comes God, second comes family and third comes business. We are human and it’s a blessing to have the guidance to decide our path. I appreciate your honesty in your choices, why you choose them, how you try to change, when you see and decide to move forward; not backwards. Your message today brought tears to my eyes. Some is from own issues but most is out of pure happiness. Thank you for sharing your light because you do make a difference. God bless 🌻💕
Love it! So inspiring! God bless you and your family. I am not the kind of person that writes comments but something moved me to do so. You are doing something great. You are changing lives ♥️
You and your family are a blessing. I am grateful for your channel and inspiration. Stay strong! You all are doing amazing and THE RIGHT THING! Thank you Erin!
This touched me so deeply, I cried the whole way through the video! Thank you for sharing your truth and reminding us of our ultimate superpowers. Vulnerability and humility. So much love to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad this moved you, Julia! Thanks for watching!
My grandpa always said to live a long happy life -
walk everyday and on the beach every chance you get
live where you breathe in the salt air
eat from the ground- grow what you can or want and shop from your local farmers
sleep in total darkness away from the noise (unless its natural) (he would open his windows at night and listen to the ocean)
live your life the best way that you can-
sending you love and light - Namaste
Amazing, your g pa sounds like a legend!
Thank you for being brave enough to be so transparent! This is a beautiful message. ❤
Thank YOU for watching!
Love you guys so much…still quietly in your corner…I understand your “free” and you and Dusty inspire me…❤️
Love you Terri!
Beautiful message. As a new father, you guys really give me hope. It’s not about vegan this and vegan that. It’s about accepting Jesus and doing what’s best in our lives, and my wife and I are so thankful you’ve created content to spread this message. Y’all are wonderful human beings that we all can learn from. Bless you, and welcome to the sunshine state!🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this video. This is just what I needed. I have been on a six year health journal with chronic stomach problems. The past year trying to transition to a whole foods vegan lifestyle. I'm two weeks in and I'm feeling like I'm in a new body. I feel so good with no pain and no flare ups. Yes. It's hard but I want this more than anything. I want to heal my body and focus on my spiritual life and everything God has given me. I want to take back control of my life. I had a bad day today mentally and then I watched your video. Thank you for all the love you give. Keep inspiring and moving forward ❤
Thank you for sharing a piece of your story, Teresa! I hope and pray you continue to find healing through this lifestyle! Best wishes to you!!!
Thanks so much for sharing your faith so openly with us. You and Dusty have been such a great guide towards prioritizing my own health and journey. Sending you and your family much love and gratitude ♥️
Thanks so much Tammy!
Love this and you all! Fellow truth seeker here and my journey has led me to a plant based diet. It’s been a difficult journey to do alone. Then add in having two tiny humans (now 6 and almost 4), and there’s an added layer of difficulty. Fortunately, my husband has converted a lot and is very supportive 💃
But, as my kids got older we encountered a new layer of difficulty. When we would go to birthday parties and celebrate holidays with others, our oldest began to express sadness about having to eat the food we brought instead of the food everyone else was eating. It hurt my heart that she was feeling excluded, but I was firm in my reasoning.
It’s been great teaching them about health and nutrition so young. In my journey for more inspiration we found you all. My girls love watching your videos and seeing Max and Liv. It seems to help our oldest feel a lot less like the odd one out, and now both of our girls love to be in the kitchen making their own concoctions.
We’ve been planning on going to Florida for Halloween (trying to find amazing alternatives to trick or treating), and now that you all are in Florida our girls keep saying they want to spend time with you all. I think they’d fan girl out over Max and Liv lol
Thanks for all you do and sending so much love!

❤ Amazed at how well you articulated so beautifully your WHY to your lifestyle. I started watching you two a couple years ago - something about you both made me feel safe and that I could trust you. You both had a light even back then. ♥️ It also intrigued me that two Nebraskans were vegan and (being an Iowan myself) wondered how the heck you were pulling that off, with meat being the main course at every event, family function, party and restaurant here in Midwest. But like you Erin, I’ve also been one to educate myself on matters- ever since becoming a Mom it’s become so important that I do to give us all the best life we can have and to pass on my wisdom and also be an example to my kids to search out truth - not just follow the crowd because “it what’s we’ve always done.” What I’ve taken away from it all is an awakening. I feel more awake and aware. It’s given me a confidence I’ve never had before. I SO hope to meet you two one day and be able to pick your brain on several parenting topics! I miss feeling like we’re neighbors, but it’s obvious you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Much grace and peace to you all. Keep spreading the good word! Lord knows we need more of it…
Also….After every video of yours I can’t help but wish my husband would be more on board with the lifestyle, but know with the smoker we now have it’ll never happen. It can be hard on me to accept when I know that a plant based lifestyle is more beneficial- I’ve read things out loud to him from books, and he can understand… i guess you just can’t beat that smoky meat flavor. I love that “If you don’t need it, why eat it” - However he would say “because it’s delicious!” I still try to introduce more plant/whole food based meals to my family. As much as I wish my kids were solely plant based- it’s something they’ll have to discover and play with on their own. Too many family gatherings and parties with meat as the main course- they’ve had their exposure and I feel once they have- it’s so much harder to veer away from. I can’t control the outside but I can expose them as much as I can in my home. Oh! And Thank you for sharing that your kids do refuse food! I often wondered that because that doesn’t come across in your videos. Made me smile knowing you do deal with that too 😉
This is your most powerful video❤️❤️❤️I have followed you since a lil before Max.I trust what you and Dusty share.your faith family and lifestyle speak volumes❤️❤️❤️
Wow, thank you Natasha, much love to you!
Such a touching video, I had tears in my eyes. You are just wonderful and so inspiring. Thank you that you exist.
Awe thank you so so much!
Ignore the haters, unfortunately they are everywhere and most channels have to deal with these obnoxious people. Why do they follow you if your message does not resonate with them? Be you and block the haters. Love you and your family, you’re good people doing a great job sharing your knowledge and making the world a better place. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing 💜 beautifully said!
This was a much needed message. So much of what ypu said resonated. I admire your positivity and message of finding light. You could have been defensive to the hate and negativity but you were so positive and rose above the haters which is so hard. I admire you and your family and your lifestyle and find your message so inspiring! Life isn't easy it's hard but you motivate and inspire strength. THANKYOU!!
I'm So glad you appreciated this vid! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!
Very well said!
Why there are so many cruel people in this world who feel that they need to criticize the choices and lives of others is just unreal to me. There is something to learn from everyone including the haters! Your willingness to have a voice and stand up for yourself and others speaks volumes about who you are❤️ I appreciate your knowledge and guidance beyond anything I could ever express. I have been on the journey of attempting the WFPB diet for a couple of years now for health reasons and I have found the research supports that it can and will help my health. It’s a struggle yet and I am no where close to where I would like to be but your videos and inspiration are part of what keeps me going and wanting to achieve this goal. I admire you and I am greatful for the time you take to educate me through your channel.
Hi Erin. Thanks so much for this video! Your honesty & vulnerability is amazing!!
I feel like there are so many parallels between being WFPB & being Christian. Knowing a truth that others can't understand until they experience it for themselves for one thing. Some days it is hard; people who share my beliefs on one seem to feel they have a right to judge the other. Having a fellow WFPB, Christian mumma in my world (you) is such a blessing!! Stay the course, because I'm sure you abundantly bless more people than you know. I can't remember how I found your channel but I'm so glad that I did! xx
I also have had years of things going on physically and mentally and no diagnosis. I seem to get close to something and then they say it's not that or I get a generic diagnosis that feels insignificant to what I am feeling and going through. What you said, "Instead of searching for symptoms, search for solutions." is exactly what I needed to hear. I need to get back on track to eating more whole foods and meal prepping again is step one for me. Thank you so very much for sharing your journey and progress.
Thankyou, you are such a blessing.....
Thank you Erin for being so real, open and honest about your journey 💕 God bless you & Dusty and your children 🙏
Thank you so much for this sit down and being so honest! Couldn't agree more! I am wfpb vegan 10yrs and going strong! Thank you for all you do ❤
You're so welcome!
Can't wait for the print book to come out😊
Beautiful video! Thank you for speaking your truth. Someone asked me once, “do you just eat salad now?” I just laughed. Some people truly have no idea what eating healthy actually is. So sad. Keep shining your light Erin. I love that you and Dusty aren’t afraid to share your passion💚.
Awe, thanks Susan! I so appreciate your support!!!
Another of the reason’s why? I have followed you and Dusty for so many years. Inspiration and heartfelt truth! Love the Stanczyk’s! ❤️❤️. Thanks for clarifying WFPB v. Vegan. Big help! Again! Give my bonus Grands a hug 🤗 from me
Awe thanks, SueAnn! We appreciate you so much and miss you!!! Hope all’s well!💚💚💚
Loved what you said about aging gracefully and being light. Thank you for being real x
You are so welcome
Thank you Erin! I love that you included scripture! ❤️
Thank you, I struggle with defending my vegan diet especially with my closest friends. You give me hope and confidence to be me! Love and peace
Tasha from Texas. Love you guys. Yall are doing a wonderful job. Love every video. I watch all of them. Thank you for making them. God will bless yall for all you are doing. I can relate to being extremely shy my whole life. ☮Peace & Love💜
Beautiful video and a message! It touched me so much 🙏🏼❤️
I absolutely love you such an inspiration and I am so glad I found your channel I feel like I found a way of eating that’s right for me !!
Erin, you are such a lovely human being! I admire that you take the high road and just keep doing what feels right to you and your family. Thank you and Dusty for all the great content, your Saturday videos always make my day!! 🥰
Your family is beautiful! And your children are a reflection of you. And you are all a reflection of Christ. Thank you so much for the encouragement.
this was so Brave and raw Erin. it inspired me! and there was SO much truth in it. don't let the haters get you down. it's about them, not you. If you're doing what feels right for you, then you have peace. I have been going through the hardest years of my life. left an abusive marriage and have 4 kids who are everything to me that I have to share custody with. before this I was 100% wfpb for 7 years, but lost motivation. this video inspired me. so thank you. I also love the concept of light. I often think to myself, fill your life with so much light, the darkness doesn't stand a chance. you're doing an amazing job. much love
Oh man, I cried with you at the end. You are so right. I have experienced it all. But your video gave me hope to keep going.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Watching you guys inspired me to go full in with my plant-based lifestyle. I was 90% there until recently. I wanted my baby daughter to be fueled by plants and grow up learning how to prepare healthy food, for her comfort foods to be nourishing foods! I just bought a baby and toddler plant-based recipe book by a dietitian. My husband has seen my transformation and is getting on board the plant-based lifestyle too! He is excited to have climbed one of his hardest rock climbing project (after becoming a Dad, and in his late 30s) He is leveling up at a time when others are slowing down! We are in! Thank you for your inspiration! xoxo All our love to you!
My daughter is 1 and her and I are the first plant based-ers (lol) in my family and I’m constantly up against scrutiny about her nutritional needs. Everyday we are getting better and her blood levels are amazing. I’m so blessed to have found this. It’s like a ray of light.
This is absolutely beautiful, Erin!
I almost cried!
Thank you for being so authentic and open.
It definitely takes bravery. :)
I relate to so much of what you say here.
I’m on the introverted / shy side and used to have panic attacks all the time. Since going whole food plant exclusively they’ve stopped completely.
Our bodies really can heal when we let them.
I’m actually deciding whether or not to date someone who my friends don’t care for - I can’t help it, he makes me feel amazing. And like you say, we can’t always worry about what other people think. Thank you for that reminder.
You are so inspiring. Please know I so appreciate you guys!
Getting back to humanity. Love that so much.
I can’t wait for you guys to do a more local retreat, I’d love to meet you! 🙏🏻
Thanks again, xo💕
leaving some LOVE... thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey.

After seeing you on Ellen Fisher, you have become a favorite of mine. Thank you for pitting your heart into these vids and sharing the deep stuff.....and the food! You are doing a good thing here!
Wow, thank you!
Amen Sister! So proud of you guys… keep it going. Haters are gonna Hate, that’s on them. Just means they are unhappy in their own life. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but doesn’t mean you need to put down others! I really appreciate you guys.
So true, thanks Erin!
Thank you so much, Erin. I love coming to your channel. I love seeing how you're feeding your babies (I have three ❤️), and eating. I love that God has brought you into my life through this platform. Again, thank you. You've encouraged me to step up my game. ❤️
