Looking to get healthier but hate salads? We’ve got a good place to start! Starting to eat more plants can be intimidating - but it’s easier than you think. On this episode we sit down with Helen Hall to talk about living a healthy lifestyle (from the 80/20 plant-based diet to how to sneak in more greens). Living a healthy lifestyle also goes beyond just nutrition - we explore sleep, mindfulness, saying “no”, and other tips to creating a better environment for yourself on your journey. 

Helen is a powerhouse woman who has not only made a name for herself in the entrepreneur world, but also in the healthy living space. With everyone trying to jump on the bandwagon of healthy living, this woman has been a part of the movement for years, because it isn’t only a movement for her, it’s a lifestyle. Her love for living a healthy lifestyle fueled their desire to create products that make healthy living fun and impactful.  Helen is the founder of the brand Blender Bombs, which are plant based super food balls made with 100% real ingredients.
