In this episode, I am speaking with Twyla Teitzel, owner of Plant Based Twy. Twyla was a participant in the GetSetUp Startup Accelerator Program for 55+. Even more importantly Twyla was one of the winners who received a $2500 prize to assist her in getting her business launched. I want you to hear about her journey.
Twyla has been vegetarian, vegan and is now Whole Food Plant Based. She is passionate about sharing the benefits of a Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle with those who think it might be too late to go Plant Based.
Twyla has done cooking demos throughout the area at the local Farmers Markets, churches, private and public venues and several Veg Fests.
She teaches cooking classes at Chili Smith in Carmichael. She has taught Plant Based Living classes at Sacramento State through the Renaissance Society for four semesters. Each class has had approximately 100 students.
She provides a wealth of information and resources to all those interested in a Plant Based Lifestyle. Twyla successfully completed the Forks Over Knives Rouxbe Cooking Course. She has also taken several Vegan Cooking classes including Chef Bravo's class from True North Health Center.

Where do vegans get their protein? Plants do have protein! Additionally, beans, nuts, lentils, tempeh, and grains all contain plenty of protein. Think of the strongest animals: Ox, gorillas, elephants, horses, etc. - they don’t eat meat.
For more information check out this article regarding Vegan Athletes and protein.

Isn’t is expensive to be a Whole Foods, Plant Based eater?
No! Eating healthy is not expensive. Sure, it might be expensive if you are eating processed foods and only shopping at Whole Foods. Eating a Whole Foods Plant Based diet does not mean you have to shop at Whole Foods. There are so many delicious ways to enjoy rice, pasta, fruits, and vegetables--the cheapest ingredients on earth!
Think about eating like a POR person: Potatoes, Oatmeal and Rice!
