    In case you missed it – my husband Chris has agreed to go entirely plant-based for the month of February and we've decided to share his experience.

    We have created a free workshop where you will have an opportunity to track what he eats, hear what he thinks, and see how he does for a month without meat.

    And, you can join him if you haven't made the leap or are looking for some plant-based camaraderie!
