05. Why I Am No Longer Vegan

Today's episode is a heartfelt one where I vulnerably discuss a significant shift in my life—a transition from veganism to a more inclusive, balanced approach to eating. My journey with PCOS has been a difficult one and navigating the complex world of nutritional science led me to a profound realization: the path to healing isn't one-size-fits-all and what works for others does not work for everybody. Embracing grass-fed, pasture-raised, nutrient-dense, bioavailable protein sources that have been raised using regenerative farming practices has been transformative for me and my health. It's a journey of breaking free from labels and worrying about how others might react to discovering what truly nourishes my body and soul. This episode delves into the nuances of making choices that align with our individual health needs, environmental sustainability and ethical considerations. Join me as we explore the power of open-mindedness, compassion and the courage to listen to our bodies. I encourage you to listen to this episode with an open mind, an open heart and most of all, a willingness to understand that everyone is a bio-individual and has the right to make choices for themselves. - FREE JOURNAL to help reprogram your subconscious mind for weight loss: ⁠⁠https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/free-5-day-journal-challenge⁠⁠ [https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/free-5-day-journal-challenge] APPLY FOR 1:1 HEALTH COACHING: ⁠⁠https://x7deee9i83u.typeform.com/to/Ja4bwuzE#name=xxxxx⁠⁠ [https://x7deee9i83u.typeform.com/to/Ja4bwuzE#name=xxxxx] WAITLISTS// The Mind Body Upgrade 12- Week Group Coaching Program: ⁠⁠https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/themindbodyupgradewaitlist⁠⁠ [https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/themindbodyupgradewaitlist] The Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind For Weight Loss Bundle: ⁠⁠https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/reprogramyoursubconsciouswaitlist⁠⁠ [https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/reprogramyoursubconsciouswaitlist] MENTIONED// Identities Around Diets: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1fPS2kPf7_/ [https://www.instagram.com/p/C1fPS2kPf7_/] Bioavailable Protein: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvFYOMmOOKK/?igsh=MmJiZ3NxbG41cmls [https://www.instagram.com/p/CvFYOMmOOKK/?igsh=MmJiZ3NxbG41cmls] KEEP UP WITH ME // My Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/crystalskyvogel/⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/crystalskyvogel/] The Mind Body Upgrade Podcast Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/themindbodyupgrade/⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/themindbodyupgrade/] Weekly Newsletter: ⁠⁠https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/⁠⁠ [https://crystalskyvogel.myflodesk.com/] My Wellness Blog: ⁠⁠https://crystalskyvogel.com⁠⁠ [https://crystalskyvogel.com] DISCOUNT CODES // My favorite non-toxic, non-pore clogging skincare (CODE: CRYSTALSKYVOGEL): ⁠⁠https://clearstemskincare.com/?utm_campaign=crystalskyvogel&utm_source=grin&utm_medium=influencer&platform=grin&link_id=1368507&token=fD2vQB3FIt5dn4aKxhvHbCrYs20mprwx&contact_id=fc9ab897-b631-4d34-903c-fd24582a2686&attribution_window=30⁠⁠ [https://clearstemskincare.com/?utm_campaign=crystalskyvogel&utm_source=grin&utm_medium=influencer&platform=grin&link_id=1368507&token=fD2vQB3FIt5dn4aKxhvHbCrYs20mprwx&contact_id=fc9ab897-b631-4d34-903c-fd24582a2686&attribution_window=30] Get 40% off your first Thrive Market Order + A Free Gift: ⁠⁠http://thrv.me/9SUbj9⁠⁠ [http://thrv.me/9SUbj9] Get 15% off Pacifica Beauty (CODE: CRYSTAL15) ⁠⁠https://www.pacificabeauty.com/?utm_source=crueltyfreecrystal&utm_medium=crueltyfreecrystal&platform=grin&link_id=540350&token=UNShSnwBfdCFIq4TWqOsE7dNbawMqlrA&contact_id=7822b86b-2beb-4d37-8f92-ac9679e856b0&attribution_window=30 [https://www.pacificabeauty.com/?utm_source=crueltyfreecrystal&utm_medium=crueltyfreecrystal&platform=grin&link_id=540350&token=UNShSnwBfdCFIq4TWqOsE7dNbawMqlrA&contact_id=7822b86b-2beb-4d37-8f92-ac9679e856b0&attribution_window=30]
