Welcome to Plant Based Grandma!
Hey there! I’m Julene, and after 40+ years of yo-yo dieting, I finally broke free—and I want to help others do the same.
Growing up in Southern California, I always felt pressure to be “bikini-ready.” I started dieting at 15, and for decades, I chased every new trend—low carb, keto, calorie counting, fasting. I lost weight many times, but I never felt free. The cycle of restriction, guilt, and obsession controlled my life.
Everything changed in 2023 when a health scare forced me to rethink everything. I stopped dieting, stopped obsessing over the scale, and started focusing on real nourishment instead. I embraced a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle—not as another diet, but as a way to truly care for my body.
Now, I wake up feeling good—full of energy, gratitude, and joy. No more food guilt. No more shrinking myself to fit impossible standards. Just freedom, flavor, and a way of eating that actually supports my health.
I started Plant Based Grandma to help others over 50 break free from toxic diet culture, learn to trust their bodies again, and enjoy food without fear. Here, you’ll find delicious plant-based recipes, practical tips, and real talk about unlearning food rules—all with zero guilt, shame, or restriction.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s do this together!
Much love and gratitude always,
Julene
