355: Vegan Meat Substitutes: Here’s What No One’s Told You

You're trying to eat healthier. You're on board with whole food plant-based eating - and maybe even excited about the way it could completely change your life.

But when it’s time to eat… it feels like something's missing.

Maybe it's the texture. The nostalgia. Or just the feeling that dinner isn't "right" unless there's a meaty center on the plate.

That’s where fake meat sneaks in. It looks like the answer. It’s familiar. Comfortable. "Close enough.”

But here’s the concern: If you're relying on fake meat to feel satisfied with your meals… it could be the very thing holding you back from feeling your best.

In this episode, we're unpacking how we've all been conditioned to believe that "meat is the meal"—and how that belief can keep you stuck, sick, and feeling like plant-based eating just doesn’t satisfy.

Here’s what you'll discover:

✅ Why your brain craves something “meaty” 

✅ How food marketing made you believe animal protein (or its imitation) must be the star of every plate

✅ What to look for instead—and how to find real satisfaction with whole plant foods 

✅ The Big Key that make plant-based eating not only doable—but joyful

You’ll walk away feeling empowered and inspired to ditch the fake stuff and find the satisfying meals that nourish your body PLUS taste absolutely amazing.

What you’re eating affects so much more than your plate—it touches your energy, your goals, and your ability to show up fully for the calling you’ve been given.
