Eat plants. Then clear your mind.
Hundreds of tested plant-based recipes, and the half nobody talks about. Because knowing what to eat was never the hard part. Doing it on a Wednesday, sleeping through the night and feeling like yourself again is.

If any of this is your week
The plan dies on Wednesday
Monday you are all over it. By Wednesday night you are eating standing up at the bench and telling yourself you will start again next week.
It is 9pm and you are not even hungry
The kitchen light goes on. You are not hungry, you know you are not hungry, and you go anyway.
Lights out, and the brain files a report
Everything you said wrong, everything due Thursday, that thing from 2011. Then it is 2am and you are doing sums about how much sleep is left.
The food is right and you still feel rubbish
Bloating that arrived with the fibre. Energy off a cliff at three. Hormones doing their own thing and everyone telling you it is normal.
None of that is a discipline problem. It is what happens when the part of you making the decision is not the part that read the plan.
01
Body
Real vegan recipes people actually cook, straight answers on what is and is not vegan, and the gut and hormone side that a lot of plant-based transitions come unstuck on.

Mind
Why you know exactly what to do and still do not do it. The 9pm cravings, the plan that lasts nine days, the 2am ceiling stare. Patterns, not willpower.
See how it works03
Soul
What is left when the noise drops off. Sleep that holds. Menopause without losing yourself in it. Actually liking your own company again.

The other half
You already know what to eat
Nobody arrives here short on information. You have read the labels, you have done the swaps, you know exactly what a good week looks like. And then Wednesday happens.
That gap sits underneath the thinking, in the part of you that decides before you have consciously decided. It is the part MindShift Mentors works on, and it is why Veganiac now takes the mind and the gut as seriously as it takes the food.
Different from what you have already tried
You have tried another plan
Plans talk to the part of you that already agrees. The part that opens the pantry at 9pm was never in the meeting. That is the part this works on.
You have tried a meditation app
Most of them ask you to concentrate, sit still and keep a streak. This asks you to press play and go to sleep. Falling asleep partway through is fine.
You have seen a therapist
Then keep seeing them. This is designed to sit alongside professional care, not to replace it. No waiting list, and no requirement to go back through anything you would rather not.
You have read every recipe site going
So have we, we run one. Recipes are the easy half. Nothing on a recipe site explains why you did not cook it.

Stress, anxiety & overthinking

What it actually asks of you
Worth knowing up front, so you are not guessing. This is the whole of it.
- Fifteen to twenty minutes a day, usually at lights out
- Headphones, and a willingness to give it about three weeks
- Seven nights free with no credit card, then $29.95 a month
- You do not have to concentrate, sit still, journal or believe in it
- You do not have to stop anything else you are doing, medical or otherwise
- You do not have to be vegan, or interested in becoming one
- No lock-in. Cancel any time, and a 30 day money back guarantee
Results vary from person to person. Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is designed to work alongside medical, psychological and other professional care, not in place of it. If you are under care for a diagnosed condition, keep your practitioner in the loop.
01
Press play at lights out
Headphones in, eyes shut. You do not have to do anything with it.
02
Let it settle
Most people drift off partway through. That is fine, and it does not mean you missed it.
03
Give it 21 nights
Patterns are built by repetition. Around the three week mark is where a lot of people notice they reacted differently to something.

In their words
I am finally sleeping through the night. Deep, restful sleep I have not felt in years.
Crystal
The ADHD overwhelm was constant. It is the first thing that has actually touched it.
Sydney
Our teenage son could not attend school because of anxiety. Things have shifted for him.
Carla Crawford
I went in a sceptic, and I did not expect it to do much. It did.

And when the problem really is the food
Bloating that arrives with the fibre. Energy that drops off a cliff at three. Iron, B12 and protein that quietly stop adding up. Hormones doing their own thing through your forties and fifties while everyone tells you it is normal.
Trish covers the gut and hormone side, which is where a lot of plant-based transitions come unstuck, and where menopause can turn a way of eating that used to work into one that does not.
Trish knows this territory from the inside. Twelve emergency hospital visits were her turning point: thirty years of asthma and severe allergies, a stack of medications, and nobody looking at the root cause. When someone finally did, she rebuilt her health through nutrition, from the gut up, and has been medication free for more than twenty years. Having been dismissed herself, she never dismisses anyone for what they are carrying.

Sunday night cravings are not a willpower problem. There is a reason the pattern repeats every week, and naming it beats another Monday reset.

ReadStraight answers
Do I have to be vegan to use the programs?
No. Veganiac is a plant-based recipe site, but the MindShift Mentors programs have nothing to do with what you eat. Plenty of people arrive here through a recipe and stay for the second half without changing their diet at all.
What is Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming?
It is the method created by Rob Edmonds, a Strategic Psychotherapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist. It is delivered as guided audio rather than talk therapy, and it is designed to work with the subconscious patterns that sit underneath conscious decisions. There is no homework and nothing to analyse.
How much time does it take each day?
Fifteen to twenty minutes, usually at lights out. You do not have to concentrate, sit still or keep a streak, and most people fall asleep partway through the session.
What does it cost after the free trial?
Seven nights are free with no credit card to start. After that the full library of more than 50 sessions is $29.95 a month in Australian dollars. You can cancel any time and there is a 30 day money back guarantee.
Does this replace seeing a doctor or a therapist?
No. Cognitive Pattern Reprogramming is designed to sit alongside medical, psychological and other professional care, not in place of it. If you are under care for a diagnosed condition, keep your practitioner in the loop. Results vary from person to person.
Why tonight and not one day
The pattern does not get tired of itself
Left alone it does not fade out, it just gets more practised. Another year of it is another year of 9pm, another year of 2am, another year of starting again on Monday. Tonight costs nothing and asks for no card, so the only thing you are actually risking is twenty minutes and an early night.
