Do you ever feel like there's so much to understand and consider on a plant-based diet?

Trust me, I get it. As a plant-based Registered Dietitian myself, I know first hand the typical struggles and concerns of following a plant-based diet. I've personally gone through them, and I've helped countless clients through them as well. Like 'How do I know what nutrients I need on a plant-based diet?', or 'How do I make sure I feel SATISFIED from my food on a plant-based diet?', or 'What supplements do I need?'. I had these questions too, and I'm here to answer them all for you, once and for all. With Thriving on Plant-Based Fundamentals, I teach you everything you need to know to thrive on a plant-based diet, so you feel confident in what you're feeding yourself and your family.

Thriving on Plant-Based Fundamentals is an online, virtual course to help you learn, understand, and (most importantly) implement everything you need to know to thrive on a plant-based diet. The course is made up of 6 modules, containing both videos of me fully explaining the topics, as well as guides, worksheets, and handouts. We cover transitioning to a plant-based diet, how to eat a nourishing and balanced plant-based diet, all of the nutrients you need to know about on a plant-based diet, how to get them, and whether supplements may be necessary, eating plant-based on a budget, and how to meal plan on a plant-based diet. You'll also have access to an exclusive Facebook group with other TOPBF members, where you can ask me questions, share struggles and triumphs, and where I'll be hosting a Facebook Live to answer any questions you may have about the course material! Thriving on Plant-Based Fundamentals is what I wish everyone knew about plant-based, vegetarian and/or vegan eating, brought right to your computer, so you can learn it anywhere. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply wanting to incorporate more plant-based foods into your everyday eating pattern, I'm here to help you and your family THRIVE.

"Thriving on Plant-Based Fundamentals taught me everything I need to know about plant-based eating.... it wasn’t until I took Lauren’s program that I felt truly comfortable with my food choices. Instead of giving a generic meal plan, she walks you through everything that needs to be considered when it comes to plant-based eating, from vitamins, minerals, to budget and simple, delicious recipes. I couldn’t have made the leap without Lauren’s course. Now I know how to eat to make me feel good, while also considering both my physical and mental health. I feel so much less stress about my food choices, knowing I’m doing what’s right for me, the planet and the animals. Thank you Lauren!"

"I’ve been vegan for a few years now but never felt truly confident or satisfied with my meal choices, until I took this program. I’ve also had this nagging problem of always feeling hungry soon after eating. Thriving on Plant-Based Fundamentals was exactly what I needed to feel confident with my food choices and helped me understand what nutrients I need, why, and how to get them. Loved Lauren’s course, and I feel really great about the fact that she’s a Registered Dietitian. I was blown away by her knowledge level and expertise. Highly recommend!"

"I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I’ve been wanting to incorporate more plant-based foods. I was worried the information would be overwhelming, but Lauren delivered it in a way that was so easy to understand and most importantly, implement. Lauren has such a kind, knowledgeable demeanor and walks through everything you need to know. I’m only 80% plant-based but feel so confident and knowledgeable in my choices and how I feed my family. Thanks Lauren!"

"I enjoyed your online course very much.  It was just the right length and easy to follow.  Just over three years ago I switched to a plant-based diet although I still eat fish once a week. At 71 years old, I was concerned that I might have nutritional deficiencies. Your section on micronutrients and answers to my queries provided the guidance I needed. Keep up the good work. I would recommend your course to anyone contemplating a plant-based lifestyle. It would make the transition much easier."

"I am just starting my plant-based journey and I had so many questions on what to eat to provide my body with the nutrients it needs. After taking the course, I am much more confident in my choices, and what my meals should look like. As well, with having access for a year to the videos, I am sure I will be reviewing them as my journey continues. The amount of time spent each day on the course was quite manageable, and I really liked that although there were handouts with each day’s lessons, you went into more detail on your videos. I made quite a few notes during most of your videos. Knowing what I should be looking to include on a daily basis was so helpful. Lauren, thank you again for putting this course together. I will recommend it to anyone that is either starting a plant-based diet or already on one."

Hi, I'm Lauren

Registered Dietitian with a Masters of Public Health in Nutrition and Dietetics and Plant-Based Nutrition Expert

As a plant-based Registered Dietitian, I can't wait to help you thrive on a plant-based diet. I started my journey as a Registered Dietitian working in a hospital setting, helping those with chronic diseases manage their health with nutrition. While I knew I loved working with individuals to better their health, my true passion area was always plant-based nutrition. I took a leap of faith and started Tasting to Thrive Nutrition & Wellness, my private practice where I help people, just like you, on their journey with plant-based nutrition. Throughout my time working as a Registered Dietitian in the plant-based nutrition space, I've worked with top researchers, physicians, and spoken at some of the most reputable plant-based nutrition conferences in the world to spread by knowledge about how plant-based diets can help us feel better and enhance our health. In my attempts to reach even more people, I began an Instagram account @tastingtothrive_rd, which has grown to over 70 thousand incredible people following along to learn all about how to thrive on a plant-based diet. Tasting to Thrive has expanded to reach several social media platforms, but my core goal is always to help people learn how to thrive on a plant-based diet. I know what it's like to try every single diet out there and feel like nothing is working for you. While going totally vegan or vegetarian might not be for everyone, I know that we can all benefit from adding more plant-based foods into our everyday eating patterns. And I want to teach you how to do it in a way that feels good, sustainable, and most importantly, makes you feel satisfied, energized and happy on a partial or total plant-based diet. So let's get started!
