Health & Lifestyle Guide

About the Book

This guide replaces the 1-on-1 online coaching services we used to offer - it's the digitized version of our former coaching program. It's yours to keep and refer back to whenever you need to, and the cost of this guide is LESS than what we would formerly charge for a 1 hour coaching session. No matter what your current diet is, and what your health goals are, this guide makes taking the first steps towards creating a healthier life easy. Some of the things this guide can help you with include:

  • Improving your health
  • Potentially preventing, treating, and in some cases reversing disease
  • Weight loss
  • What to eat
  • Nutrition information
  • Fitness goals
  • Achieving your weight goals
  • Improving your sleep
  • Leading a balanced lifestyle
  • Motivation

Like most people, we too struggled with our health for many debilitating years, and tried a lot of different things which never worked. Between us, we suffered from candida, asthma, fatigue, constipation, poor digestion, allergies, eczema, chronic menstrual pain, hyperhidrosis, weak immune systems, and low libido. We have since overcome or improved all of these conditions. Today we are the happiest, healthiest, and fittest we have ever been in our entire lives, and we owe it all to consistently living all of the principles outlined in detail in this guide. This guide is the culmination of our extensive science-backed research and personal experimentation with diet and lifestyle since 2009, as well as our experience coaching many tens of people since 2014.

Prior to this digitized guide, we successfully coached many people on this diet and lifestyle on a one-on-one basis, and this detailed guide is all the information we would include in our one-on-one coaching program, and more! We answer the most common questions and concerns people would have. You can read testimonials from some previous people we have coached on our website (www.thatvegancouple.com/testimonials) 

Even if you have none of the health issues we personally suffered from, this does not mean that this guide isn’t for you. When you breakdown the word “disease” we see that it is simply the body in a state of dis-ease. Most dis-eases have an inflammatory basis. And since the science-backed diet and lifestyle outlined in this guide optimize the reduction of inflammation, they therefore help prevent, treat, and in many cases even reverse, most dis-eases.

We walk you through the steps of how to change your diet and lifestyle, and provide an abundance of information and external reference links for you to keep learning. We also show you how to complete a Food & Lifestyle Diary that you then continue for 30 days as you transition to this healthier diet and lifestyle. As for what to eat? We have also included links to our Recipes for Healthy Vegan Eating ebook that you can use as a guide in the kitchen, as well as Our Tools for Health & Life. We’ve done all the hard work and research… all you need to do is apply it and reap the benefits.
