In my final (for now) episode of the Wellness Seeker's Podcast I share some of the valuable things I've learned in my 35 years. I share about caring for and honouring your mind and body in many many ways and I hope that it brings you a bit of enlightenment or tips to carry with you on your wellness journey!
So, all-in-all we did not follow the Fiber Fueled 4 weeks like we wanted but in the end we were happy with how it all played out. I learned new recipes and it pushed me out of my comfort zone and what's even better is it pushed my husband out of his comfort zone! We both want to eat 80% of the time a plant based diet and get more fibre into us! That is a WIN!!!!!!!! Thanks for sticking around and following along while we stumbled through this journey!
Week 3 was a bust. Life happened and following the plan fell by the wayside. However, as we enter week 4 we are starting to get back on track and that feels good because we have been feeling really good eating this way. Take aways include prepping. So when life does happen again we have some quick and easy healthy meals and snacks to grab rather than the Delicious Pizza down the street! We are following @theguthealthmd Dr. B. Fiber Fueled 4 week meal plan from his book Fiber Fueled. To see what ...
If you've been following along we have been trying to follow the Fiber Fueled 4 weeks meal plan. I have been reflecting on the experience from week to week. Last week was not our best week and we have done some off-roading with the plan but we are gaining some valuable insights and that is truly what I think this whole experience is about for us!

Week 1 was good but also had many moments of discovery. Mainly that trying something new and learning to live a different way is hard and has really sucky moments. So this is a pep talk for you and me in case you're trying to do something new too! Follow along @edgewaterwell
Join me as share and reflect on Prep day 1 and actual day 1 of the Fiber Fueled 4 week meal plan by Dr. Will Bulsiewicz. I am also sharing my journey over on my IG @edgewaterwell if you want to tag along there. My mantra: I just want to see how good I could feel after following this meal plan. I just want to see if I feel as good as I can!
This episode is meant to be a little reality check and pep talk all in one to help remind you that good things take time.

Things worth going for take time and you are worth it! To access the Tracker I talk about head here: www.edgewaterwellness.ca/tracker . It's also a colouring page!!...
