Today we’re meeting again with our head of nutrition, Sam, and the topic is how to increase your energy levels with a plant based diet, and this is also a special mom edition for all the moms out there. Sam tells us what we should look for when we’re trying to think of things to eat while being plant based, and then we discuss foods you can consume and foods to stay away from to help you sleep better at night. Sam shares with us the special foods and nutritional tips to help better understand what we should be doing and what to expect.

“When we are using stimulants, stimulants don’t give us energy. They stimulate the energy we already have. So we’re not getting more energised because we had some caffeine. That caffeine stimulated the energy in our body, but when we already have stress and woke up with a head full of to-dos, we have enough energy. Adrenaline is already there. Your resources are already activated. Your heart is racing to get all those things achieved on the to-do list.” 6:08
