Health benefits of plant-based lifestyle
- Shedding Pounds: Many people find they naturally lose weight on a plant-based diet because it's generally lower in calories and saturated fats. Plus, the increased fiber intake helps you feel fuller for longer.
- A Healthier Heart: By cutting down on cholesterol and saturated fats found in animal products, your heart will thank you. Lowering risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol levels is common, and the plant-based goodness can help keep your ticker in great shape.
- Energized Living: You might notice a boost in your energy levels. Plant-based foods are packed with complex carbs, vitamins, and minerals that provide sustained energy throughout the day. Plus, ditching heavy meats can reduce energy slumps.
- Happy Digestion: Many people experience improved digestion on a plant-based diet thanks to the high fiber content. Say goodbye to bloating and constipation and hello to a healthier gut.

What they are saying about Wendy…
Who the heck is Wendy?
Hello there, thanks for stopping by. I’m Wendy Renshaw, I help clients stop their sugar cravings and jumpstart their energy so that they can live a much healthier and happier lifestyle.
I was born in Australia and grew up in the UK but currently living in the USA coaching from my laptop in my kitchen.
I haven’t always worked online. With over 25 years of coaching and teaching experience in one form or another, I guess I really enjoy helping people and seeing them transform.
And that’s all I focus on today, helping you develop a stronger, healthier mindset for your lifestyle so your eating habits work for you, not against you, providing you with the tools to live a life full of vitality and feel truly aligned.
When Life Gives You Lemons…
I consider myself very lucky. After my own health scare in 2007, I knew I needed to make some significant changes to my eating habits and lifestyle. I went to cooking school, The Natural Gourmet Institute and learned about vegan nutrition and lifestyle. Becoming plant-based, my health improved greatly, my energy soared, my skin was finally eczema-free I felt amazing!
It took time to transition completely, but out of the trauma, ‘the lemons’, I was able to make lemonade and will never take my health for granted ever again.
After restoring my health and well-being, I was looking for a change. I heard of a health coaching course with the IIN (Institute for Integrative Nutrition). I thought this sounded like a perfect way for me to combine my love of helping others with my love of food, especially healthy food.
I quickly realized that you need to learn practical ways to redesign your health if it is to become a lifestyle. I created Leafy Kitchen and began private coaching, teaching local cooking classes and group workshops. But breaking old habits is not easy, especially when it comes to food. And there is so much information out there that you can easily feel overwhelmed and give up.
The pandemic changed everything for us all and for me, I felt my physical and mental health were my top priority once again. I decided it was time to tell my story to a larger audience and help others struggling with transitioning to a more balanced, healthier lifestyle. It was hard reliving what had happened but I wrote How To Eat An Elephant With A Spoon. My book as a way of reaching and hopefully guiding people wanting to take charge of their own health issues.
I also felt that to truly help reach as many people as possible I needed to make my coaching accessible with digital courses that are available 24/7 as well as offer private coaching online so that no matter where you are in the world you can start to make positive changes to your health now, it’s never too late.
