Hi Friends!

Tomorrow we kick off a free 3-day online workshop that I’m honored to co-host with Ocean Robbins, and I’d love for anyone interested to join us.

If you want a deeper understanding of evidence-based, whole food, plant-based nutrition and the science of behavior change, this workshop is for you.

Here’s what we’ll dig into together:

Day 1: Purpose-Driven Coaching: Real Stories, Real Impact
How purpose shapes the way you coach, inspiring stories from plant-based coaches in the field, and what happens when you lead with your “why.”

Day 2: The Inner Work: Nutrition and Self-Care in Coaching
How to make plant-based nutrition simple and doable, while supporting your own energy, focus, and well-being as a coach.

Day 3: Success Your Way: Growing Your Coaching Practice with Integrity in a Changing World
Real-world strategies to grow a values-aligned practice, use tools like AI ethically, and build success that feels true to who you are.

You’ll learn from leaders in plant-based nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and coaching, and you’ll hear honest stories from alumni of our Plant-Based Coaching Certificate who are out there doing meaningful work every day.

Dates: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Nov 18–20
Time: 9 am–12 pm PT / 12 pm–3 pm ET

Can’t make it live?
If you register, you’ll get all the replay recordings plus every handout and resource.

If this sounds helpful to you—or to someone in your network who’s passionate about coaching—please share it or tag them. The more, the merrier.

With love,

Hey there!

I’m thrilled to share an opportunity that’s close to my heart. I’m preparing to sit for the National Board Exam for Health & Wellness Coaching, and to qualify, I need to complete 50 practice sessions by the end of this year.

To reach this goal, I’m offering a limited number of free, one-on-one health & wellness coaching sessions for people who want to experience the power of coaching firsthand. No strings attached and no pressure to continue. That said, I'm up against a deadline with limited availability, so no cancellations or rescheduling, pretty please.

Coaching isn’t therapy, advice-giving, or cheerleading. It’s a powerful, structured conversation that helps you gain clarity, connect with what truly matters, and take meaningful, lasting action toward your goals in health & wellness.

Learn more about me and how coaching works here https://www.bonhealth.us/

Here’s what to expect:
• Initial session: 50 minutes
• Follow-up sessions: 30 minutes each
• Completely confidential
• Limited, first-come, first-served

They are going fast! Only 27 left as of Oct 25.

If you’ve been curious about coaching or you’re ready to make positive changes in your health or life, this is your chance to experience it for free.

Book your free sessions directly from the Contact Page - You’ll see the cost is $0

https://www.bonhealth.us/contact

Enjoy one initial session & as many follow-ups as you want from what's available until the end of the year. A weekly or bi-weekly cadence is recommended.

With gratitude and excitement,
Tracy Garrigan, CHHC

I don’t want to live in a world without pomegranates or pumpkin seeds, or chia seeds or oatmeal or apples or maple syrup. No, I definitely don’t wanna live in a world without maple syrup.




And I clearly don’t know how hashtags work. 😂

Hey friends! It’s been a minute. Ok, more like 2 1/2 years but who’s counting?

Out of the wormhole straight into the kitchen. Why? Because my stomach rules my life.

Here we have Cuban inspired black beans sautéed with fresh corn, cilantro, shallots, brown rice/quinoa and green salsa. Yum! Over a bed of mixed greens and purple cabbage. With shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, avocado and a dollop of almond sour cream. Am I forgetting anything? 🤔 Had to bust out the purple corn chips to assist in shoveling all this tasty awesomeness into my mouth. No judging.

It's impossible to study health and wellness without discussing the environment. Taking care of Mother Earth means better health for all of us and we have a lot of work to both do...and undo. Here's a list to watch.

The Trump administration has dismantled nearly 100 policies focused on clean air, water, wildlife and toxic chemicals, and left more than a dozen rollbacks unfinished. Here’s how they add up.

"Every being is here for a reason – every rock, every deer, every star, every person is here – Creator doesn’t just make things that don’t have a purpose or a function or a part in the puzzle. And so we as human beings are trying to bring the human being back into the role of keystone species, where our presence on the land nourishes the land. And one of the women I’m learning from for my doctoral pre-research is saying – I don’t like the word sustainability. We’re not just going to sustain ourselves; that’s a low standard. I’m going for enhanceability. The ability to enhance wherever I walk. The ability to make it better than when I found it." ~Lyla June

“It has always been so, this year more than in recent memory, but if you are looking to feel hopeful, like everything is going to be alright, the first thing you must do is listen. Listen to where the noise is coming from, and then back the hell away. Slowly, thoughtfully, retreat wherever you must, in order to feel whole again.”

Love this and had to share.

Including our favorite farm stands, CSAs, dairies, pick-your-own fruit orchards, and ranches.
