In this episode I share a three month update since quitting the birth control pill. From how I have been feeling, insight on endometriosis symptoms, how I track my cycle, and the research on organic vs. non organic feminine products. I also get into my thoughts on the loss of a period, the importance of complex carbs for women and ways I support myself during my cycle - from food to fitness.  SPONSORS <a href="https://ritual.comPBNP" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">ritual.com/PBNP</a> - 10% off your first 3 months <a href="https://sproutliving.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">SproutLiving.com</a> - 20% off with code PBNP20 <a href="https://oseamalibu.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">OSEAMalibu.com</a> - 10% off your first order with code PBNP

175. Plantbased on a Budget with Toni Okamoto: Meal Planning, Grocery Shop Tips, Couponing and more

The Plantbased, Not Perfect podcast is all about striving to be our healthiest selves, while living in the real world. With a master's degree in Technical Writing, Elizabeth explains complicated health topics in a format that is easy to digest. After her mom almost died from congestive heart failure caused by a root canal infection, Elizabeth became passionate about living a healthy lifestyle free from disease. This led her into the plantbased world and eventually inspired her to create #plantbasednotperfect - a sustainable way of living a plant-centric life that doesn't strive for perfection - just encourages making healthier choices to help achieve optimal health. Podcast topics range from health and wellness, plantbased studies and interviews, to food and finances, emotional and mental health, skincare and everything in between.
