On October 1, 2019, Ali's husband suffered a stroke. His vision was affected for 5 months. He couldn’t drive or work after the stroke and it inspired Ali to turn to food to help in his healing. Ali also lost her father unexpectedly to a heart attack when he was just 55 years old, and she was determined to make any changes necessary to prevent another life-altering event.
She dived into the research and found many answers to prevention and long-term health through a plant-based approach. Through trial and error she switched her family of 8 (that's right—6 kids, including twin boys) to a plant-based diet and now is determined to inspire and help others do the same, and to help the process run more smoothly. On this channel Ali shares some of her favorite vegan recipes. She believes in progress over perfection, and loves living a 90/10 plant-based life. Because, let's be honest—it's a lot easier raising 6 kids on a plant-based diet when there is flexibility!

🎙️ I am incredibly honored that Dr. Cyrus Khambatta joined me on my podcast! 🙌
As the co-author of Mastering Diabetes and a PhD in nutritional biochemistry, Cyrus brings a rare combination of cutting-edge science and practical advice.
In this episode, he breaks down the real root cause of insulin resistance, what actually works to reverse Type 2 diabetes, and how plant-based nutrition plays a powerful role in long-term health and disease prevention.
This interview is packed with evidence-based insights you won’t want to miss—some of which aren’t even in the book!

I’ve been waiting for the right time to share this with you—and it’s finally here!
🎙️ The Eat Meat Sparingly podcast is now live on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. The first 3 episodes are up and ready for you to binge!
This podcast has been on my heart for a while. It’s part spiritual journey, part science, and 100% focused on the blessings that come when we follow the Word of Wisdom more fully—especially when it comes to eating more plants and eating meat sparingly.
I’m super open about my faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so if that’s not your background, I totally get that it might not resonate with everyone. But even if you're not a member of my same faith, I promise there's something in it for you—especially if you love learning about the science behind plant-based eating, disease prevention, and how to take small steps toward better health.
And if you’re just here for delicious plant-based recipes, no pressure at all—you can absolutely keep following me on YouTube and skip the podcast. But if you're curious about the deeper "why" behind my passion for PlantWHYS, I’d be honored if you gave it a listen.
👇 Listen to the first 3 episodes here:
Apple Podcasts → podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eat-meat-sparingly-a…
Spotify → open.spotify.com/show/1p0La1ottRoSITlXG99QpL?si=IB…
YouTube → youtube.com/@EATMEATSPARINGLY
Thank you for being here. I don’t take that lightly.
With gratitude,
Ali Essig
