Level up? What does that mean?

It’s simple. It means to get better. To get stronger. To get smarter.

I grew up playing video games, specifically role-playing games. One major part of these games is the concept of a level. To get to a higher level (or level up) you must gain experience. Once you have enough experience, you level up!

When I first started cutting meat out of my diet, I was only level 1. I didn’t know how to cook tofu. I relied on fake meat products like Boca burgers. Using salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder was about as adventurous as I got with spices. But I put in the time, learned, gained experience and leveled up.

You can level up as well.
