Nicole is a culinary maestro & co-author of the book The Vegan Ketogenic Diet Cookbook: 75 Satisfying High Fat, Low Carb, Dairy Free Recipes. This book is incredible because it addresses two critical pillars of nutrition--Insulin Resistance & Gut Biome.

The problem is that I'm often asked by clients, 'But what do I eat, what do I eat?'

Ask no more!

The 75 recipes in Nicole's book are quick and easy with relatively few ingredients. 

So pick up the book and enjoy our free-wheeling conversation wherein we talk about nutrition myths, the importance of dealing with trauma in regards to diet, and the healing power of plants. 

Internal Memes spread through society like viral social-media memes. They embed in our subconscious and limit our performance by creating inner conflict and irrational self-judgement, which saps our focus and energy, without us even realizing it! Even worse, they create distrust of the self, which erodes our confidence. How do we locate and untangle these memes? What does David Deutsch, the British physicist, say about these memes?
