54. Conversations About Women's Health and Vegan Living (ft. Jessica Karwat)

Dec 5

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Karwat, a vegan nutritionist specializing in women's health. We delve into the essentials of maintaining optimal well-being on a plant-based diet and explore what our female bodies specifically require for a healthy lifestyle.

It all started when Jessica grappled with severe acne. Exhausting a range of solutions, including topical creams, oral medications, laser treatments, and more, without success.

It wasn't until she embraced a vegan lifestyle that she observed a transformation in her skin. This pivotal experience ignited a lasting passion for health and wellness, motivating her to inspire others to flourish on a plant-based journey.

Tune in as we unravel the truth around birth control, a balanced diet, hormones, weight loss, vitamins and supplements and more. Enjoy the episode.
