What does a plant-predominant plate actually look like?

It doesn’t mean vegan.
It doesn’t mean complicated.
It doesn’t mean expensive.

It means most of your plate comes from plants.

A simple example:

🥦 Half your plate: Non-starchy vegetables
Roasted broccoli, leafy greens, peppers, zucchini, Brussels sprouts, a big salad.

🍚 One quarter of your plate: Whole grains or starchy plants
Brown rice, quinoa, farro, sweet potatoes, beans, lentils.

🥑 One quarter of your plate: Protein
Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, fish, eggs, or lean meats in smaller portions.

Add healthy fats from nuts, seeds, olive oil, or avocado.

That’s it.

No calorie counting. No extreme restriction. Just shifting the balance so plants take the lead.

A plant-predominant pattern is associated with improved blood sugar control, lower inflammation, better heart health, improved gut function, and long-term disease prevention.

Lifestyle Medicine isn’t about perfection. It’s about building plates — and habits — that support your health consistently.

Holistic Pelvic Care™ often sparks curiosity — and sometimes hesitation.

In her newest blog, “Why Every Woman Needs Holistic Pelvic Care™ – A Portland, Oregon Nurse Practitioner Explains,” Jen shares why pelvic care should be preventative, not just something addressed when symptoms appear.

For nearly a decade, Jen has offered Holistic Pelvic Care™ in Portland, combining inter-vaginal massage with breathwork to help clear tension, restore pelvic balance, and support overall vitality. In this post, she explores the cultural conditioning that disconnects women from their bodies and why caring for the pelvic floor can influence stability, energy, creativity, and confidence.

If you’ve ever wondered what this work really is — and why it matters — this is a powerful place to begin.

❤️ A Lifestyle Medicine–Inspired Valentine’s Dinner for Two

Celebrating Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to mean heavy food or a sugar overload. You can create something beautiful, nourishing, and still a little indulgent.

For dinner:
✨ Pan-seared salmon with roasted beets and a simple arugula salad topped with walnuts and a light balsamic drizzle.
Omega-3s, fiber, healthy fats, and vibrant color — supportive of heart health and inflammation balance.

For dessert:
🍓 Dark chocolate–dipped strawberries (70–85% cacao), finished with a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed pistachios.

Antioxidant-rich, simple, and just sweet enough.

Lifestyle Medicine isn’t about restriction — it’s about choosing foods that love you back.

Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day and a nourishing weekend, everyone. 💛

Roasted Veggie & Chickpea Power Bowl

A food-as-medicine staple you can make once and eat all week

This kind of meal supports several pillars of Lifestyle Medicine at once—nutrition, energy balance, and stress reduction—by keeping food simple, satisfying, and ready when you need it.

Ingredients
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1–2 cups chopped vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, sweet potato, or whatever you have)
1–2 tbsp olive oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cumin
Optional: leafy greens, cooked quinoa or brown rice
Optional topper: tahini, hummus, or a simple lemon vinaigrette

How to Make It
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Toss chickpeas and veggies with olive oil and seasonings.
Roast for 25–35 minutes, stirring once, until tender and lightly crisp.
Serve as-is or over greens or grains. Add a sauce if desired.

Why this works
Fiber-rich foods support gut health, blood sugar balance, and heart health
Plant-based protein helps with satiety and energy
Roasting brings comfort and flavor without complicated prep
Making a batch ahead reduces decision fatigue during the week

Lifestyle Medicine isn’t about perfect meals—it’s about building patterns that support your health in real life. Meals like this make nourishment easier, not harder.

We’ve shared a new blog by Jen Owen, NP exploring one of the most powerful—and often overlooked—pillars of Lifestyle Medicine: social connection.

Social connection has a measurable impact on both physical and emotional health, influencing everything from inflammation and cardiovascular health to stress regulation and resilience. This pillar isn’t about how many people you know, but about the quality, safety, and sense of belonging within your relationships. Feeling seen, supported, and understood matters.

In this blog, Jen explores how connection supports whole-person health, why isolation affects the body, the role of community and boundaries, and gentle ways to rebuild connection over time—without pressure or perfection.

Yesterday, one of Jen Owen, NP’s patients shared:
“This is the type of relationship I’ve always wanted with my healthcare provider. Thank you so much for the care you’re providing.” 😊

This kind of feedback reflects exactly what we strive for at The Flourish Center—care rooted in trust, time, and whole-person connection. If you’re looking for a more supportive, collaborative approach to healthcare, we’re here to help.

The story behind FLOURISH

Hi. I’m Jen Owen. I’m an Integrative Medicine Nurse Practitioner, Primary Care Provider, Herbalist, Functional Medicine expert, and Pelvic Floor Specialist.

After almost 28 years of working with health and wellness, I have seen just about everything.

Here are the truths I know: 1. No one is broken. 2. No diagnosis is a sentence. 3. Hope and compassionate care make a difference. 4. Conventional (modern) medicine is not better or worse than natural medicine. There are benefits to both. Why not utilize all both have to offer to find the perfect balance for you? 5. There are no cookie-cutter solutions for any problem. It’s best to find the right path/program for each person individually. 6. Nurse Practitioners are a great choice for care. We are nurses first, so we understand how health can affect life. We are medically trained and licensed to diagnose conditions, order testing such as radiology and labs, prescribe treatments, including prescription medications, and serve as your primary care provider. We are bred from a holistic approach of looking at the whole person and how each aspect of life affects wellness. 7. I am here on this earth to help people. I do this with smart, comprehensive care based on love. I treat my patients as I would my own family--every time.

Whatever you’re working with, I promise to listen fully to your whole story, honor your own intuition and judgment about what is happening, and work with you to design a plan that won’t add even more stress to our already stressful world. I believe in a practical, least-invasive, and doable approach to serving my patients.
