Hi I’m Jill, The Wandering Veggie! If I’m not out exploring, you’ll find me cooking up a plant-based storm in the tiny house I live in, located in the heart of the Cascade Mountains.
After neglecting my body for a couple of decades, I came to realize that, overall, I didn’t feel well. Like, at all. Morning people would irritate me because I was sleeping until 10-11 a.m. and it took every ounce of energy to get through most days. As someone who has always been extremely active, this wasn’t working for me.
I started to educate myself on nutrition and how the body functions, and I came to realize that it made perfect sense why I felt awful all of the time — you literally are what you eat! Everything I was putting into my body as fuel was toxic, garbage, and not what my body needed. The loss of energy and loss of well-being happens slowly, it’s not overnight, and it’s why I went so long without noticing.
So, I started on a different path to turn everything around. My energy rebounded and I feel better at 40 than I ever did in my 20s! I also discovered that I’m actually a morning person, it’s my favorite time of day! Who knew?
Now that I’ve reclaimed all this energy I haven’t had since I was a kid, I’d like to travel and see the world! On my site I’ll share everything I learn along my journey, including fun and interesting facts about why and how food works it’s magic, in hopes that it will help inspire and fuel a dynamic life.
