The Way to your Health
Guidance to a Whole Food Plant Based Lifestyle
HOW?
The “secret” is no secret at all. The more you eat plants—ALL types of plants–and the less you eat
meat, dairy, oil and processed food the better your health, in all the ways listed above.
This is the Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) lifestyle.
OK, initially it sounds shocking.
But the REAL shock is what you don’t know

WHO?
I am Peter Druian. I practiced as a psychologist for 30 years, with a PhD from Yale. I know something about health behavior.
I’ve seen benefits personally (losing 30 pounds, eliminating high blood pressure and high cholesterol) and I’ve seen others eliminate rheumatoid arthritis and life-long asthma. My practice was psychotherapy, but I saw people who switched to WFPB feeling better from it.

WHAT?
We share the knowledge. We describe science-based conclusions on how plant-based nutrition improves health, and show you where to get your own information.
We share the skills. We can show you how to make the transition to the WFPB lifestyle. We show you what to buy and what not to buy, show you WFPB cooking techniques, offer menu suggestions for different kinds of foods and cuisines, and give guidance, support, and help along the way.

- Anywhere else in life, when you see a free offer, don’t take it because it is a trap. Not here.
- I would like people to buy my services. But even more important is helping people to find out about WFPB and learn to integrate it into their lives. If you would like my help I do have guidance and support to offer for a fair price, as shown in the accompanying units. But in this unit I just want you to learn what the facts are.
