Getting into the WEADS: Why It’s A Good Thing For Your Health!

Nutritarian Living Founder, Marc Eiseman

When it comes to adopting a healthier lifestyle, the WEADS approach—Willingness, Education, Assistance, Determination, and Support—provides a practical roadmap. Many people feel overwhelmed by the idea of change, but understanding these five core principles can make the journey not only achievable but also rewarding.

Willingness
The first step is to be open-minded. Willingness means you’re ready to embrace a new approach to health and wellness, even if it’s different from what you’re used to. When you’re willing to try, you open the door to endless possibilities for growth and self-discovery.

Education
The power of knowledge cannot be overstated. Learning about the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle, understanding the science behind it, and discovering how it impacts your body can reinforce your commitment. Empower yourself by educating yourself, one small step at a time.

Assistance
Going through lifestyle changes alone can feel overwhelming. Seeking help—whether from a health coach, a supportive friend, or a community—can provide the guidance you need. Embracing assistance doesn’t mean you’re weak; it means you’re resourceful and committed to reaching your goals.

Determination
Let’s be real—change isn’t easy. Determination is what will keep you going when you face resistance, whether it’s from social situations, family dynamics, or old habits. Remind yourself that every small step forward is a victory in your journey.

Support
Finally, having someone by your side makes a world of difference. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or a community, support can keep you grounded and motivated. Remember, this journey is not about perfection but about progress.

It’s a Journey, Not a Crusade

Instead of another hard-to-swallow philosophy, the WEADS approach offers a simple roadmap for finding balance, compassion, and joy in the process of change. Make small changes, be patient with yourself, and embrace each phase of your journey. This isn’t about conquering; it’s about evolving.
