Have you ever noticed that having the courage and the will to make substantive changes often results in something wonderful and transformative in your life?
It's not easy to make big changes in life.
As human beings, our neurology is wired for certainty, consistency, and
familiarity (a genetic survival adaptation from our ancestors).
But have you ever noticed that having the courage and the will to make
substantive changes often results in something wonderful and transformative
in your life?
Over the past four years, we have supported over 1.4 million people across
the world in their journey to a healthy, thriving dairy-free lifestyle, many
of whom made the switch from vegetarian to vegan.
Today, on World Vegan Day, we're encouraging you to make the switch and
ditch dairy for your health, for food justice, for the animals, and for the
environment.
Speaking of the environment, did you know that eating 60% less cheese and 4
to 6 more servings of beans will help keep the global temperature rise under
2 degrees Celsius by 2050?
If you've already made the choice to stop consuming dairy, bravo, and thank
you! And if you haven't (or have a dear friend or family member who's on the
"vegetarian fence") we want to offer up some free, easy-to-use resources,
including research and recipes to help break the addiction to dairy.
And yes, dairy is chemically addictive, as the casomorphins in milk light up
the same receptors in your brain as heroin and other opiates do. No wonder
people say, "I just can't give up milk and cheese!"
In fact, many of us here at Switch4Good said the EXACT same thing years
ago...
We wish we would've had the
dairy detox at our disposal.
Or hundreds of deliciously decadent dairy-free recipes.
Or an empowering podcast featuring globally-recognized leaders in
plant-based nutrition, health, science, and ethics to learn from.
So, if you've been on the fence (or know someone who is) today is the day to
make a powerful decision. We have a plethora of free, easy-to-use resources
including dairy alternatives and our protein guide to support you on your
journey toward a fully dairy-free, plant-based lifestyle.
We suggest starting with the dairy detox and taking a deeper dive from
there!
Do the
dairy detox today!
If you want any additional resources, research, or recipes beyond what we've
shared with you here, just send us an email and we'll be sure to get back to
you.
Thanks so much for your support. Happy World Vegan Day!
