What a beautiful conversation this week with flow state master and high performance coach, Kevin Orosz. Kevin embodies a realisation of reality that he has developed through studying philosophy in the west and being guided by ancient mystics in the east. He has combined these two world view into a understandable and approachable structure in order to help people around the world to get to their truth.  The biggest take out from this conversation is that "The solution to everything is listen to you intuition". Listen to the episode to find out how. Kevin's BioAfter a post-graduation spiritual awakening, Kevin left his home tribe of Texas in 2012. Instead of pursuing his PhD in Psychology, he was called to Northern California to study the human mind and ancient traditions of eastern philosophy. Soon after, his travels led him on an epic quest throughout Southeast Asia, Thailand, India, and Nepal. While there, he studied under mystics in the B. K. S. Iyengar Yoga style and the Osho meditation tradition.As a result of his learnings, he realized a synergy between Eastern & Western mysticism relating to his own personal myth. On his return to the states, he immediately aligned forces with like-hearted comrades Ryan Bowditch & Jordan Bowditch. In LA, they formed the Mystic Misfit: a lifestyle brand to empower men & women to activate their inner divinity.Kevin believes powerful habits create our reality. By investing in healthy rituals, optimal lifestyle, and the human body as the gateways to our true potential for healing. Using yogic postures, breathing patterns, and nutritional science, he helps clients transform and craft their lives. Through language, radical honesty, authentic relating, and non-violent communication, Kevin assists his clients with uncovering what is pioneering  to live through them. By exploring their unique story, Kevin helps clients transition across the threshold to the life they desire.What we cover in the interview:Top hacks, techniques and mindsets to get into flow stateAncient traditions of Eastern philosophySynergies between Eastern and Western MysticismFrom a Catholic Texan to global warrior peak performance coachRelationship rock bottomJung relating to rock bottom's Heroes journeyMasculine and feminine balanceWhy men have to trust themselvesHow women's cycles are in line with natureHow money does not bring on more happiness over $60k per yearHow powerful habits create our realityIntuitionMeditation and writingVisualization, movement and tantra Links:(R)Evolution PodcastFlow State Mastery Coursekevinorosz.comInstagramFacebookYouTubeNadine Lee Tantric Alchemy

In episode 77, I peel back the layers of Tru Self Explorers founder and personal growth expert, Marc Dimancescu. Marc comes into the personal growth journey through your standard Western life. He had the money, he had the family, he had the house, he had "everything". But it was not enough. As much as Marc grew in his professional career as a corporate consultant and in life materially, the more he realized that there was more to life. Through many years of diving deep into his own conscious and psychology, it all came down to one thing. Connection within a community. It was within Marc's tribe in Ibiza that he realized the importance of ones community on health, wellness and happiness. This edged him into an aha moment in which he founded Tru Self Explorers, a meeting place for conscious and aware being looking for growth and serenity within. This online community will provide journey providers (anyone having the role of a mentor or guide) with the tools to upload their profile and location and offer their services to journey explorers (regular curious beings) . The gap between  location dependant and clients can finally be bridged.  

In episode 76 I sit down with a Drew Harrisberg. Most of you might be familiar with Drew from his well known brand, Drews Daily Dose. Drew is a is a type 1 diabetic, exercise physiologist, Diabetes Ed (GradCertDiabEdM) and a Singer-Songwriter.For a long time now he has lead the pack by educating people on how to manage type 1 diabetes through his own knowledge, experience, science and recently putting together the pieces of the puzzle through epidemiology. At the age of 22 Drew was diagnosed with the autoimmune illness, type 1 diabetes and since then with his keen interest in health and wellness has been on the path to reverse and heal this often debilitating illness. Listen to this episode on how Drew hit the bottom of the bucket on a keto diet and has now found hope and is thriving on a plant based diet.In this episode we cover the following topics:How type 1 attacks your bodyThe way we heal diabetes is the same way we heal from everything elseAll autoimmune illnesses starts in the gutI being health conscious doesn't necessarily mean you are doing the right thing How dangerous dairy is.Transitioning from a Western diet to a Paleo diet to a Keto diet to finally a Plant-Based dietHow a keto diet made his insulin sensitivity even worse and worsened his conditionSimon Hill from Plant Proof motivating him to change to a vegan dietHow carbohydrates heal the body and do not cause diabetesOvercoming the fear of plant-based foods and adopting a varied plant-based dietHow diabetes is an insight into your physiologyThe protein mythHow society is obsessed with science and have forgotten to live intuitivelyEpidemiologyHidden agendas in science and the mediaMaking the mistake of managing symptoms instead of finding the cureDrews Daily Dose 5 Pillar approach.How sleep affects your blood sugar levelsCaffeine's affect on blood sugarsResources:Drews Daily Dose WebsiteDrews Daily Dose InstagramDr Neil Barnard - Program for reversing diabetesPlant Proof with Simon HillDr Michelle McMackenChef Claire Sharryn RobertoGame Changers DocumentaryPlant Proof blog post and how a plant-based diet is better for the planetDennis (Drews Dog) instagram  

"I TURNED STRUGGLES INTO TRIUMPHS, AND FOR EVERYTHING LIFE HAS THROWN ME, I AM GRATEFUL." This week on Conversations with Change-Makers I explore the deep waters of Eat with the Moon Author, Francesca Annenberg and her eating disorder, her battle with hormone imbalance, acne and regaining her menstrual cycle. This is a first of its kind episode on the show where we explore the intricacies of womanhood and the common obstacles so many woman face on a daily basis.

Activist. Vegan. Athlete. Leader. Influencer. Change-Maker. Speaker. Entrepreneur. These are just a few of the words that describe the legendary Dominick Thompson. In this conversation Domz lays out his path from the West Side of Chicago dealing drugs to hitting his rock bottom in prison and deciding that abstaining from eating animals was the most compassionate route he could take. In his words, it is bad karma to directly or indirectly cause harm to other beings, whether it is humans or animals. Domz went on to become one of the strongest inmates living only on plants and still is today where you can see him lifting heavy in the gym or racing in triathlons. Domz made a 180 in his life and has dedicated his compassionate activism to changing this world for the better. Domz went on to launch the uber successful sustainable vegan clothing brand, Crazies and Weirdos and as of this year has recently launched 'Eat What Elephants Eat': a powerful nutrition and wellness program that can be tailored to your exact requirements. Do not forget to follow Dominick Thompsons journey as he create a more loving and compassionate world for all of us:InstagramFacebookTwitterEat What Elephants EatCrazies and Weirdos

Rational-Spiritual Bridge Builder, Consciousness Coach, Peace Warrior and breath work facilitator, Chris White is a man that is for sure on his dharmic path. In this episode we discuss the subtle balance between masculine and feminine energies that are present in all of us and how for so long the powerful feminine energy has been discounted and suppressed. We are now in the age where males and females have discovered the quality of empowering the feminine energy within us all.  We discuss a spiritual connection to the divine, plant medicine journey's, meditation, dark rooms, breathwork, floating and many other forms of transcendental work encouraging personal growth. I loved the conversation and it sparked a fire inside of me to go deeper. I know it will do the same for you. Contact Chris:InstagramMaster of Intuition Course and Other Links

This week is one of the most exciting conversations that I have been wanting to share with all of you for so long. Meet my vegan parents, Hendrik and Sharon te Roller. Married for 30 years, in love like they are teenagers and both converted to a vegan diet and turned their life around. They are the living proof that it is never too late to make a impactful change in your life.Hendrik (69 years old), a butcher for over 45 years, suffered with a whole host of lifestyle diseases from heart disease to diabetes to ulcerative colitus. He was on 9 tablets a day and was weighing 150kg. At the age of 67 he decided to make the change to a vegan diet. WIthin 3 weeks he reversed his diabetes on a high carb plant-based diet and within 6 months was weighing 115kg taking no more meds and exercising 6 days a week. Sharon (55 years old), suffered with spastic colon and high cholesterol for 20 years, not knowing where to turn as doctors kept giving the false examination that there was no cure. Sharon proved all these medical professionals wrong by adopting a a high carp plant-based diet and reversed her cholesterol, lost 10kg and has never experienced a spastic colon again. These incredible change-makers in my life are influencing their circle by the mere miracle of how plants have turned their lives around and given them a new lease on life. I honestly believe that a vegan diet has given my parents an extra 20 years of life and way more in energy. They are my role models and they can be your role model to. There is never a time that is too late to make changes.

Today's episode is a special one. It is the start of an in depth conversation about myself. My weaknesses, my strengths and the wisdom I have picked up along the way of living a compassionate and conscious life since sobering up 5 years ago. I thought it would be apt to start with explaining my WHY. The reason behind my purpose driven energy in life. I get vulnerable and share my story of strength and hope. I believe everyone has a story and needs to share it. We are all ENOUGH. We owe it to the world to reveal our genuine truth by living in line with our purpose. Thank you for listening to my story.

Rhys and his brother Scott, always look to create their own extreme ultra-endurance challenges, and where schedules match up, complete them together. By doing this they have raised over £50,000 for a variety of different charities, all of which have a special connection to each of them. In recognition of this, Rhys was selected to be an Olympic Torch Bearer for the London Olympics 2012 and is a CF Warriors Charity Ambassador. In his spare time, he has also helped establish a grassroots environmental organisation with his wife Cerys called Repair Café Wales with the aim of reducing waste, sharing skills and building community cohesion. Scott's recognition was via Johnson & Johnson, and was lucky enough to complete an Operation Smile mission in 2015 in Mekele, where he assisted in screening and in theatre for the repair of Cleft Lips and Palates. Scott has overcome some tough mental and physical challenges in order to complete his challenges in the past.*Contact Scott and Rhys:*Pegasus Ultra RunningPegasus FacebookPegasus InstagramRhys InstagramRhys Email: rjenko@icloud.comScott Email: scottjjenkins@gmail.comScott InstagramThe Jenko Bros Facebook

The plant powered power couple, Sarah and Peter together run The Seasonal Diet, where they help women and couples lose weight and THRIVE on a plant-based diet. Everything changed for them in 2010. Before then, Sarah suffered from the worst persistent stomach pain. Doctors couldn't figure it out. IBS, allergic to gluten, maybe it's just stress they would say and skin issues that had her so self-conscious about leaving the house. Plant-based diet couple Sarah and Peter struggled with low energy, constipation, and the weight was creeping up. They were unhappy and unconscious. So 2010 Peter took the lead. He broke up with Sarah and shook everything on its head. Sarah says "Looking back it's one of the best things that's ever happened to us. Not how I would have done things, but sometimes that's what it takes to have a wake-up call." While they were apart, they found a plant-based diet. They couldn't believe at 22 and 23, this was the first time they heard about this. Sarah remembers thinking. "Of course I feel like crap, of course I've been sick my entire life, I've never thought once about the food going into my mouth." A plant-based diet is what brought them back together. Since then they've been healing their bodies (because health is a long game), educating themselves, and now they get to help others do the same thing. They've helped couples work together to lower their cholesterol, get off medications, and thrive on a plant-based diet. And, most importantly build a stronger relationship.
