π What is Wellwith?
Wellwith makes it easy to find and share healthy resources and turn them into action! Instead of frantic social media feeds, it's a space for thoughtfully curated content from people and brands you care about. We're new! So to keep things simple, we're zooming in on one practice that benefits several dimensions of well-being: plant-based eating. To start, note which categories below matter most to you...π
From Dr. Breakey: "Dr. Breakey is a fifth-generation graduate from the University of Michigan Medical School and has been a Family Physician in Ann Arbor for 35 years. He has a special interest in preventive medicine and supporting patients in optimizing the natural healing processes that we all have within us. He is Board certified in Lifestyle Medicine and serves as the Medical Director for IHA's 'William J. Fileti Lifestyle Medicine Institute'. He also serves as the Chairman of IHA's Governing Board."
From Wellwith: Dr. Breakey is using Wellwith to make it easier to explore and enjoy one of the healthiest practices there is: plant-based eating. To start, click the drop-downs to see how plant-based eating benefits your physical and mental health and beyond, and note which categories matter most to you...

πͺ Physical Health
A diet based around plants can help prevent a variety of diseases and promote good health throughout our lives. For athletes, plant-based eating can boost performance and speed recovery.
π§ Mental Health
Plant-based eating appears to influence mental health positively and has been correlated with fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and mood disturbance. It may also help prevent Alzheimerβs disease and other forms of dementia.
π Outdoors
Though the connection isn't obvious, the way we currently raise animals for food is devastating our planet. For most people, reducing meat and dairy consumption is the most effective way to reduce our ecological footprint.
πΆ Animals
Eating more plant-based meals lowers demand for meat, dairy and eggs, which dramatically reduces animal suffering on factory farms around the world. As Lyn White puts it, "Since we can lead healthy, happy, fulfilling lives without harming those who share this world with us, why wouldn't we?"
π΅ Saving Money
Contrary to popular belief, plant-based eating doesn't have to be expensive! Staples like beans and grains are some of the least expensive foods around, and frozen produce is cheaper and just as healthy as fresh! Resources like Plant-Based on a Budget make affordable plant-based eating easier than ever, and studies like this one show how significant the savings can be.
Now, explore how plant-based eating benefits the categories you care about! Expand a drop-down below, then click resource names to learn more... β Like a resource? Add it to your page to easily share with friends! π‘ Want a resource added to the community? Let us know here!

π Environmental
Reflects the impact your environment (home, school, city, planet) has on you and the impact you have on the environment.
π΅ Financial
Your relationship with money and skills for managing resources, as well as your ability to make good consumer choices and seek out appropriate financial opportunities.
ποΈ Occupational
The work you choose to do and how it contributes to your community and fulfills you.
π Social
How you choose to define and connect with your community and the people around you.
π Intellectual
Feeling stimulated and engaged with learning and staying open to new ideas and perspectives.
