What would corporate America look like if employees understood the implication of their daily food intake? What if companies could reduce the enormous healthcare costs by educating employees on small but meaningful changes in food choices and small changes in status quo? Gigi Carter’s book, The Plant-Based Workplace address these topics.

This book is eye-opening for anyone wondering why healthcare costs are not being addressed on some basic levels. For example, many companies are assisting with health club membership costs and adding incentives for non-smoking employees but little is being done on the diet and nutrition forefront. The diet is the essential variable in understanding overall health: if you have a poor diet, your overall health is likely poor. The link between chronic diseases (diabetes, obesity) and the Standard American Diet vs other greener diets (Plant Based, Mediterranean Diet, etc.) are fleshed out in this book. Gigi Carter offers practical approaches from the top down so this book is not a lofty ideal but a practical guide (actual meal plans for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks are provided in this book) for making the workplace healthier, more productive, more reliable, and reducing the bottom line of the astounding healthcare costs we have accepted as “the norm”.

It is time to open our eyes to the reality of poor food choices and the personal and professional effects that we have ignored for decades. For anyone ready to move the needle on the healthcare equation, this book will help initiate the discussion and ultimately change. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Researched and Well Written. This Book Could Literally Change Lives.
Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

It’s hard to NOT be aware that we are serious health issues in this country as evidenced by the multi-billion dollar diet industry promising miracle results. There is also a focus on interventions such as medications and often surgeries rather than figuring out what’s causing our illnesses in the first place. Enter Mrs. Carter’s terrific book on JUST this concept...prevention as opposed to intervention; pro-action rather than reaction. She has indeed done her homework and translates it into an extremely well-written guide to making changes that could save tons of money, prevent (or potentially reverse) some of our most prevalent health issues (obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension), and offer work place (corporate) changes to reinforce these changes. Since most folks are in the work force, it makes great sense to engage the employers (be they huge corporations or smaller ones) in assessing how healthy eating options can bring about healthier employees and ultimately reduce factors that impact employee performance. Each chapter builds on information provided to finally offer a step by step guide to establishing a plant-based work place. It can be done and it can work. Read this book and make a conscious effort to promote it to others...you never know what you may start!

Could better eating habits actually start at work? Gigi proposes a bold approach to solving a number of chronic health conditions we face in society today. The first half digs into the health issues we face today and the back of the book makes the business case for employers to make the shift to better living through a plant based approach. Lower costs and increase productivity with happier, healthier employees!

One line that stuck with me more than anything was “I feel better today than anything ever tasted” which is a true testament to the power of plants and a long healthspan.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only option that we haven’t tried is a guarantee. The future truly is in our own hands!
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2018
The Plant-Based Workplace is a cumulative manual of research-based evidence and evidence-based research that challenges our desire, our faith and our willingness to save ourselves from the expedited process of extinction ironically administered by our own hasty attempts to recover and/or prolong such existence in the first place. Originally motivated by personal experience, Gigi Carter combines scientific and historical data that leaves us the choice to save ourselves by implementing the only option that we haven’t tried or to continue repeating the fatal methods that led us to the current extremities that we face. The Plant-Based Workplace reveals to us that we can be saved and that it can begin in the place that we spend the majority of our waking hours - the workplace. Gigi Carter substantiates that implementation does not depend on the level of opportunity or the availability of resources, but that implementation lies in the desire, the faith and the willingness to pursue the only guarantee that we have in saving our corporate world and our planet. The Plant-Based Workplace is proof that not only can we increase productivity, profits and longevity of our workforce, but we can preserve the life of our very own existence.
