The Basics Podcast

Hi! We’re Dawn and Emily. Our mission is simple: help more people feel confident eating whole‑food, plant‑based—no perfection required, just practical steps that stick.

​

What it is The Basics? A friendly, bite‑size monthly podcast that teaches the fundamentals of plant‑based nutrition, with real‑life tips, simple meal ideas, and science you can trust.
