Back in May, Elizabeth replied to one of my newsletters with this email and before-and-after picture (below). My jaw dropped to the floor!

Herbies of the Week: The Parker Family of 6 (From Paleo to Plant-Based!) Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Herbies

I just love how even the tiniest family members have experienced a world of difference. A real reminder that it's never too late (or too soon) to get healthy and eat plants!
