Everything Moxie can walk you through
Your Daily Plants
We never subtract. We add.
Ten kinds of plants, one serving at a time. Nothing on your plate is wrong. Something is always ready to be added. Keep adding until the plants crowd out the confusion.
This is a returning, not a trend. Across Black, brown, and Indigenous kitchens, our ancestors ate plants first.
Missing a circle is not failure. It is information for tomorrow's practice.
Why each one heals
Beans
Fiber and protein that steady your blood sugar and feed your gut.
Berries
Antioxidant heavyweights for brain and memory.
Fruit
Whole-package sweetness, vitamins riding in on fiber.
Crucifer
Broccoli-family compounds your body uses to clear out the junk.
Greens
Calcium, folate, and nitrates that relax your blood vessels.
Other Veg
Every color is a different protective compound.
Flax
Omega-3s and lignans. Hormone-friendly, heart-strong.
Nuts
Good fats that protect your heart and keep you full.
Spices
Anti-inflammatory power in pinch-size doses.
Grains
Intact carbs for steady energy and a happy gut.
Improve My Plate
Whatever is for dinner, we add one plant. That's it.
The Change, Fed Well
Menopause, nourished by plants
I came through menopause without the suffering so many carry. That was not luck. It was plates and practice. Here is what the research shows, so you can practice too.
What the science says
Soy, daily: in a 12-week trial, a low-fat plant diet plus a half cup of cooked soybeans cut moderate-to-severe hot flashes by 84%
Try it: edamame, tofu, tempeh. Frozen edamame is cheap and it counts
Ground flax: lignans plus omega-3s, one spoon a day on anything
Greens and beans: calcium and magnesium for bones and sleep
Whole grains and berries: steady energy and heart protection
The pattern beats any single food: plant-rich eating tracks with milder symptoms and healthier aging
The Boundary
Moxie shares nourishment, not prescriptions. Bring your clinician into treatment decisions. Both can be true.
