Meet Cindy Newland — Plant-Based Health Coach
I know what it feels like to get news from your doctor, drive home with nothing in your hands, and wonder what to do.
At nearly 300 pounds, I had tried everything. The plans. The points. The powders. None of it stuck — not because I didn’t want it badly enough, but because none of it was built to last.
Then I found a verse I had probably read a hundred times and never stopped to think about.
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. — Genesis 1:29, KJV
That was the menu. The Lord wrote it before any of us showed up with our diets and our shame and our starting-over Mondays.
I lost over 100 pounds returning to that plant-based table. (If you’re interested in learning more, you can watch My Weight Loss Story.)
I stopped cutting calories, cutting carbs, and hating my thighs. And I stopped fighting my body because I finally understood that the Lord made the body, He made the food, and the two were always meant to go together.
That’s why I became a certified health coach and personal trainer, and I’ve spent 20 years walking women through this same return.
And that’s really why this site exists.
Some of the women I work with come because they’re exhausted from decades of dieting. Some come because a doctor gave them news they weren’t ready for — cancer, arthritis, high cholesterol, inflammation — and nobody told them what to do next. Most are both.
What I’ll walk you through
I’ve spent over 20 years teaching a plant based diet for beginners. Not a 30-day overhaul. Not another points system. A faith-paced, practical way of eating that works for real life.
Here’s what that looks like:
Simple recipes built around real food. No exotic ingredients, no hours in the kitchen. Meals you can make on a Tuesday when you’re tired, and your family still needs to eat.
A place to start when you’re overwhelmed. The free Alkaline Food Chart is one page. Print it, put it on your fridge, and your next grocery trip already looks different.
Grace for the woman who has tried before. If you’ve quit a hundred times, you’re not broken — you just haven’t had the right tools. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about returning, one small bite at a time.
Start here — it’s free
When your doctor tells you to eat better and hands you nothing, this is where to begin. The Alkaline Food Chart shows you exactly which foods fight inflammation, support your body, and align with the way the Lord designed us to eat.
One page. Print it. Put it on the fridge.
This is not a diet. It is a return to the Garden. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
