My Journey

MY HEALTH JOURNEY HAS TAKEN TIME AND A LOT OF SELF COMPASSION.
BEFORE
AFTER

I spent many years almost 70 lbs heavier than I am today, with many health issues to show for it. I had high blood pressure, many female hormonal issues, I was prediabetic, and had multiple cancer scares. After many failed attempts to get my health and weight under control, I found my way to a high carb/low fat plant-based diet.

As I continued down the path that this plant-based journey took me, I found a renewed compassion for myself and was pleasantly surprised to find that weight loss was happening almost effortlessly. After just a few months I found myself free of most health issues that had plagued me for years, and well on my way to a healthy weight.

Realizing that I could love myself while I worked on the things I wanted to change empowered me to lead the life I now live.

My Transformation

My Transformation

I FOUND THAT SELF COMPASSION IS THE KEY TO LONG TERM SUCCESS.

Realizing that I could love myself while I worked on the things I wanted to change, was what empowered me to lead the life I now live. My greatest hope is for all of you to realize your amazing worth, and to learn to take care of yourself from this place of love and compassion.

In the end, self love is what empowered me to make the changes I needed to make, and a high carb / low fat plant based diet took me all the way to the glowing health I now enjoy!

A little more about me…

ALWAYS A YES IN THE KIKI NELSON BOOK

  • Hiking, mountain biking, camping, skiing, playing the guitar, eating, my little humans, my amazing husband, and my doggy nacho.

  • Favorite movies – Uncle Buck, Grumpy Old Men, Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans, and of course Nacho Libre.

  • I’ll always make time for: reading, kids, outdoors, cuddles, desert, popcorn, being outdoors, traveling

NOT MY FAVORITE

  • Dislikes – Less than 9 hours of sleep, finishing a Netflix series, and any computer related task. Oh, and being told what to do.

  • I don’t like tofu. Seriously.

  • I don’t actually like to cook. Lol. This is why I keep it SIMPLE!

  • I don’t have time for: details, watching Youtube, homemade pasta, anything with more than 5 ingredients.

FUN FACTS

I started my YouTube channel because all I could find were difficult recipes (based on my standards), and because no one around me wanted to hear me talk about plant based eating anymore.

I’m a Sagittarius, which means I’m happiest outdoors and a travel addict!

I’m half Mayan indian on my fathers side and part Seneca indian on my mothers side. I was born in the Yucatan Peninsula where my ancestors are from, and grew up traveling all over with my parents, learning about my heritage and others

I speak 3 languages… English, Spanish, and French! I also dabble in Mayan.

Yes, my dog is named after the infamous luchador wrestler, Nacho Libre

The Kiki Nelson Philosophy

I believe life and food should be simple and joyful. I truly believe that coming to a place of self love and acceptance is what empowers us to make lasting changes.

Everyone has a unique story and journey. I believe everyone should take the time and effort to educate themselves. I was able to continue and be successful because of all the time I took to read and understand the science of why plant based diets lead to improved health. My goal is to help shorten the time it takes you to become knowledgeable in this lifestyle but there is still no substitution for engaging in your own learning and research.

My Vision

My desire is to help you realize that everything you need is already within you.

I want you to have the information necessary to successfully implement a plant based diet by providing recipes, videos, guides and inspiration….and if I’m able to inspire you to live your happiest life and to get outside and enjoy nature more, then I will die a happy woman.

Self Love

I can attribute all my success on a plant based diet to self love. I am continually asked how I am able to stay so “disciplined” when it comes to my diet. My response is always the same…..it has nothing to do with discipline and everything to do with self love. When I made the conscious decision to start changing the negative thoughts and emotions I had about myself, my life began to change.

I told myself: Kiki Nelson, you deserve to be loved and taken care of. I knew that love and care had to start from within me. It is this love of self that will empower you to change because what you love, you take care of. The decisions you make when it comes to food will be from a place of love, not from a place of hatred for your body.

Love of self is not selfish, it in fact produces the opposite. We learn that our own value and worth comes from within and it allows us to become more generous with our hearts for ourselves and for others. My greatest hope is for you to know and see all that you are worth. Everything you need is already within you.
