Reclaiming Wellness By Eating Plants - Interview With Pragya Thakur


In this week's video my special guest is Pragya Thakur. Pragya is a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Upbuild-trained life coach, and MPH candidate at Boston University, studying lifestyle medicine, food policy, and environmental health. She's also a published writer whose work has appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, The Law Journal Newsletter, and the National Health Association's magazine Health Sciences, where she wrote beautifully about Dr. Ron Weiss's visionary work at Ethos Farm Project.


Before entering the wellness world, Pragya spent 30 years in the magazine industry analyzing complex systems—skills that now shape how she coaches clients through sustainable lifestyle change.

She's the author of In Pursuit of Wellness: A Patient's Perspective and creator of the Substack newsletter From Soil to Soul.


As a coach specializing in plant-forward transitions, Pragya brings both evidence-based methodology and what she calls "systems thinking" to behavior change. She's also certified to teach Yoga for Osteoporosis and draws on her Indian heritage to bridge cultural perspectives on plant-centered eating.

Pragya is the former Executive Director of Ethos Farm to Health and a key organizer of Farm Days at Ethos. You can also hear from her if you subscribe to Ethos' quarterly newsletter - Seedlings.


We discuss:


  • Our vegan stories

  • How veganism improved our health

  • The amazing work over at Ethos Farm To Health

  • Overcoming challenges as a vegan

Jennifer Shlomovich is a Plant-Powered Lifestyle-Educator on a mission to help others improve their health by eating more plants.. As the only vegan in her household, she knows firsthand how challenging it can be to stay true to your values when the people around you aren’t on the same path. For years, she put everyone else’s needs ahead of her own, but through her journey, she discovered the power of setting boundaries, living by her values, and confidently prioritizing her well-being. On her YouTube channel, The Confident Vegan, she shares inspiring interviews, practical tips, and empowering conversations about what it really means to live in alignment with your values. She is also the co-host of That Vegan Morning Show with Kimberly Winters of the Did You Bring The Hummus podcast.
