Free Esselstyn Plant-Based Jumpstart Booklet
Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr. & Ann Crile Esselstyn
This is the free Plant-Based Jumpstart Guide from the Esselstyn Family Foundation — the work of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn (author of Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease) and Ann Esselstyn. It is the resource Suz reaches for first when someone asks, "Where do I even begin?" Warm, practical, and completely free — the PDF opens straight from the Foundation with no sign-up.

What's inside
- Easy "build-a-bowl" formulas — a Breakfast Bowl, Salad Bowl, and Supper Bowl
- Simple 4 steps per bowl: whole grains, then fruit or beans, then vegetables and greens, then flavor
- Long shopping lists of approved, oil-free whole-plant foods
- Beginner-friendly nutrition graphics and "begin where you are" encouragement
Why Suz recommends it
Suz points nearly everyone here first. It is the kindest, least overwhelming on-ramp she knows, and it comes straight from the people who pioneered this approach.
