#80: Zuliya Khawaja - Vegan Chef & Blogger, Nutrition That Heals You From the Inside-Out

Positive Impact with Andrew Schultz

"The food we eat can either heal you or kill you."

"Think of your gut as the engine that powers your brain and powers your soul."

-Zuliya Khawaja

Now, more than ever, it's critical we take care of our bodies physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. And people are starting to understand it starts with a healthy immune system, 70% of which exists in the gut...That's right, 70% of our immune system is in the gut!

Who better to help us understand what this means, and more importantly, provide us practical tools to start transforming our mind, body, and spirit than the beautiful, talented, and amazing vegan chef, plant-based coach, blogger, and dance instructor, Zuliya Khawaja.

Zuliya is a certified plant-based nutrition coach from Cornell University. Her social media following of 120K followers gives you an idea of her awesomeness, including vegan recipes she shares daily on IG - @Naturallyzuzu

In this episode we discuss:

• Zuliya's jourey into becoming vegan five years ago
• Importance of the gut-brain connection and how we can transform mind, body, and spirit simply by food we eat
• How we can improve our gut biome and optimize our immune system
• Difference between whole food plant-based nutrition and vegan
• Zuliya's guilty pleasure :)

I absolutely LOVED chatting it up with Zuliya. Her glow and positive energy is infectious. She vibrates high and shines bright. My life is better with her in it and I bet yours will be too after listening to her share her love and passion for life.

Now go eat some plants my beautiful friends!

Cheers,

Andrew
