What if eating healthier wasn't about restriction—but about gaining more energy, better health, and a deeper connection to food? Rachael Brown knows this transformation firsthand. Despite believing she was eating well, she faced serious health challenges that weren't improving. But one shift changed everything—not just for her, but for her entire family. She reversed major health concerns, helped her loved ones embrace a plant-based lifestyle without resistance, and turned her passion into a mission to help others do the same.

In this episode, we discuss: The biggest myths about plant-based eating—and what the science really says Why so many people struggle with dietary changes (hint: it's not about willpower) The key to getting family members on board—without nagging or guilt How to break free from emotional eating and make food choices that truly nourish Practical, low-effort ways to make healthy eating the easy, natural choice Tune in for an insightful conversation that just might change the way you think about food.   Visit https://forforkssakebook.com for more information and to purchase a copy of the book.  Live well and RAK ON,  Dr. Rak  Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.
