“Recovery—it's rarely, rarely linear, and never, ever convenient. If you are someone who's used to being in command of their body, it can feel almost like the universe just slammed on the brakes without any warning. That is the loss of autonomy, right? That's one of the most common—and very, very disorienting—aspects of any physical injury. None of us want to hear that setbacks are not failures—they're part of the process. The frustration is normal. Let it come out. Let it work itself through.” -Dotsie Bausch “The mental side—the frustration, the inability to use my body the way I'm used to—with the fluidity, the power, the agency, the strength... yeah, it's tough. When we're in pain, we've got to remember everything we've survived. It's so easy to beat ourselves up. It's so easy to think, ‘My God, how am I going to get through this? How am I going to heal? How am I going to conquer this mountain?'”  -Jason Wrobel In this deeply personal episode, Dotsie and Jason dive into the raw reality of recovery—what it demands, how it feels, and the challenges it brings. Dotsie shares what she's learning while healing from a broken ankle, drawing on past sports injuries as well, and Jason opens up about the profound lessons he took from his own recovery after a serious motorcycle accident. Together, they explore the emotional toll of losing physical autonomy, how to stay mentally grounded, and why recovery can ultimately become an unexpected invitation to rebuild not just your body, but your perspective and sense of self. What we discuss in this episode:  Staying mentally and emotionally healthy in the aftermath of an injury. Diet and recovery. The role of sleep in injury recovery. Facing and overcoming fear after getting hurt.

"Burnout is why I left. I just started talking myself out of it, that we shouldn't do it anymore. I just kind of ignored those feelings. It's strange to fall out of love with something that you've done every single moment of every single day for a very long time. Maybe it'll be too sooner than later, right? But right now, that is going to keep it fresh. I want to keep this feeling." -Dotsie Bausch  “I'm talking about how important B complex vitamins are for stress, and yet I'm at home, in my hotel room, on the road, grinding so hard that I'm not taking my own advice. I just kind of ignored those feelings. I feel like I am the piece of toast that fell to the back of the toaster oven that we forgot about.” -Jason Wrobel Burnout shows up in many forms—it can build slowly and quietly over time, or seemingly strike all at once after a long period of strain. In this episode, Dotsie and Jason open up about their own experiences, from losing passion for what they once loved to finding the courage to step back and reevaluate everything. They share the first crucial steps toward recovery, the importance of protecting your health, and how to know when it's time to make a change. Whether you're in the thick of burnout or just starting to feel the signs, this conversation offers real talk, practical guidance, and a spark of hope. What we discuss in this episode: Dotsie's go-to strategies for coping with burnout. Understanding the connection between burnout and adrenal fatigue—and how to test for it. The role of nutrition in healing from burnout. Supplements that may help support and protect your adrenal glands.

Is your diet keeping you sick?   Dr. James Loomis is a whole-food, plant-based internal medical practitioner spreading the message that food is the best way to combat illness and disease.   After experiencing a decline in his own health, Dr. Loomis made the switch and saw miraculous results: a significant drop in weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure in under three months.    He says that most problems that walk into his office can be traced back to inflammation and stress, often resulting from the Standard American Diet.    The former internist for both the St. Louis Cardinals and Rams now serves as the Medical Director of the Barnard Medical Center and advocates for using food -- over prescriptions -- as medicine.   In this episode, Dr. Loomis joins Alexandra and Dotsie to explain exactly how what we eat works to either heal or harm our bodies.   You'll hear why whole foods are the best way to combat inflammation, why manipulation by the dairy industry is so dangerous, and how you can get empowered to critically evaluate medical research on your own.     This is a must-hear episode to understand why eating whole foods is as important as eating plant-based for your health.   “90% of the problems that walk into this office are fundamentally related to food, how we move, and stress. Almost all will respond to a whole-foods plant-based diet.” - Dr. James Loomis   What we discuss in this episode: - Dotsie and Dr. Loomis's experience presenting to athletes in Atlanta and some good signs of progress - The health crisis that encouraged Dr. Loomis to make the switch and the amazing benefits he saw within three months - Chronic disease can often be traced back to inflammation and stress. How is the Standard American Diet keeping us sick? - How a whole-foods plant-based diet will heal your gut - The lies behind “bro science” and how athletes are working to lead by example - Busting myths around the obsession with protein and calcium: IGF-1's connection to cancer, over-consumption of protein lowering the PH of our blood, and why most people become lactose intolerant by age 5 - The science behind inflammation: Why you need to decrease your Omega-6 intake, increase your Omega-3 intake, and eliminate highly processed foods - The truth behind the popular Chocolate Milk and Butter studies - How to better critically evaluate medical and nutritional research, plus suggested resources from Dr. Michael Greger and David L.

Our guest today is an expert on all things related to the penis and male reproductive medicine. Although many folks are uncomfortable talking about issues related to the penis, Dr. Arron Spitz normalizes important conversations around it and sexual health.

I agree that lifestyle is an important component of sexual health.” - Dr. Aaron Spitz   What we discuss in this episode:  - The Penis Book and what it is all about. - The 5-step plan for penis health. - The top reasons for erectile dysfunction. - How to overcome “performance anxiety”. - How testosterone affects erections. - How diets affect the penis and sexual performance. - The famous penis scene from The Gamechangers. - The truth about prostate cancer. - Why Dr. Aaron Spitz chose to start eating a plant-based diet. - Why eliminating milk and dairy-based products is so important when it comes to penis health. - Separating myths and facts about circumcision. - What the “average” size penis is.   Resources: - Book: The Penis Book - https://www.aaronspitz.com/book/ - Orange County Urology Associates – https://www.orangecountyurology.com/our-team/aaron-spitz-m-d/ - Website: Aaronspitz.com - https://www.aaronspitz.com/ - BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough: bioptimizers.com/switch4good - http://bioptimizers.com/switch4good   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

At the height of the "Got Milk" campaign, Olympic silver medalist Dotsie Bausch found herself appalled at the assumption that dairy milk created successful athletes. She decided to do something about it. I sat down with the remarkable cyclist and advocate to hear her story of overcoming adversity, conquering anorexia, and finding solace and strength in cycling. While her transition to a plant-based diet was initially fueled by ethical convictions, it ultimately led her on a quest for improved health and performance. She shares her path to found Switch4Good, a nonprofit organization she founded to promote plant-based eating and challenge the dairy industry's status quo. Plus, her advocacy for the Add Soy Act and its potential to provide healthier, non-dairy options in schools. Dotsie's journey has always inspired me to challenge norms, embrace change, and live with purpose - even when you are going against the grain. I hope it brings some strength to you, too!   Here are some key takeaways: - Dotsie's Story: From battling anorexia to Olympic glory, all through the power of cycling. - Why Choose Plant-Based: Changing her diet for ethical reasons not only transformed Dotsie's health and performance but also ignited a powerful movement for change. - Switch4Good: Learn about the bold campaigns and disruptive messaging that are revolutionizing the way we think about plant-based eating, sparking a wave of compassion and conscious choices. - Inflammatory Dairy: The harsh truth about dairy's inflammatory effects and its link to widespread health issues. - Add Soy Act: This groundbreaking legislation proposes a vital shift towards healthier, non-dairy options in schools, offering hope for the next generation's well-being.   LINKS: - Learn more about Switch4Good - Learn more about Dotsie's career and advocacy work - Follow Dotsie on Instagram - Get inspired by this interview with vegan athlete Fiona Oakes

The worldwide prevalence of obesity has nearly tripled in less than fifty years.    If we are more informed about potential health consequences than ever before, why are more and more adults choosing unhealthy eating habits that lead to weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease?    Dr. Stephan Guyenet, who has spent more than a decade studying the neuroscience of body fatness, argues that most of us aren't choosing our eating habits at all.   His book, The Hungry Brain, dives into the idea that eating behaviors aren't a result of weakness or poor willpower but of an evolutionary mismatch between our brain's ancient programming and our current environment.    Today, he sits down with Dotsie and Alexandra to explain how our brains are hardwired to seek the high-calorie, dopamine-releasing foods that our ancestors relied on and why that works against us in modern society.    You'll hear how your neurochemistry is influencing your eating habits, why you're suddenly hungry for dessert after being satiated by dinner, and what you can do to overcome some of these neurological triggers that make it difficult to change the way you eat.    If you've ever been frustrated by a craving or your habit of second helpings, don't miss this episode to hear why.

Ever wonder what an Olympian does every day to stay fit, or how an actress with a storied career navigated Hollywood? In today's fun and insightful episode, Dotsie and Alexandra decided to interview each other for a change, and open up like never before, tackling everything from their successful marriages to health struggles, from activism to surviving the holidays with family. Nothing is off limits as this dynamic duo shares their personal stories, triumphs, and regrets, with something for everyone to take away from in this very special, must-listen episode!   “You were a bike messenger, weren't you? That was a little bit later. Like, I literally just got a bike and started riding and just fell in love with riding my bike. Then what kind of started it all I just said, ‘I'm riding my bike so much I want to do something good with riding my bike.' So, I decided to sign up for the California AIDS ride, which at the time, you had to raise $1,200 to enter it, from San Francisco to Los Angeles. And it's a 500-mile route. They don't take a direct route. I think it's actually 600 miles. And so I did that California AIDS ride, and it's on the road, so everybody had a road bike, but I was on a mountain bike and I guess I was staying with some of the fast men throughout the journey. And so at the end a couple of them said it's a little odd that you're on a mountain bike and that you just started riding and that you're able to stay up there in the front of the peloton with us. I think you should try a race or something. And it was just like, ‘I don't know. Where do I do a race?' Long story short, I tried to race and then I fell in love with cycling as a sport, and as a competition.” - Dotsie Bausch   What we discuss in this episode: - How Dotsie and Alexandra stay balanced, fit, and happy. - What Alexandra does to sleep well.  - Habits they've learned and adopted from past guests.  - How Dotsie and Alexandra cope with stress. - How Dotsie started cycling, and what she overcame to become a champion cyclist. - How Alexandra launched her career as an actress. - Dotsie and Alexandra share daily practices that keep their marriages strong.  - Their experiences and tips for surviving the holidays with nonvegans.

After concluding a prolific professional cycling career that produced a medal at the 2012 London Olympic Games, eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and a world record, Dotsie Bausch has become a powerful influencer for plant-based eating for athletes and non-athletes alike. Named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world, she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of humans, planet earth and animals.  Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds – just like she did in the Olympics while riding for Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold” – her latest initiative is founding the non-profit Switch4Good. Switch4Good launched in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow's milk is not part of a high-performance diet. The ground-breaking commercial aired on NBC during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games closing ceremonies and on ABC during the Academy Awards broadcast.  Bausch is also one of the stars of the film The Game Changers, which chronicles the story of the world's most dangerous myth. Directed by Academy Award winner Louie Psihoyos and executive produced by Oscar winner James Cameron, The Game Changers was released to worldwide audiences in October of 2019 and in just one week, became the #1 downloaded film of all time on iTunes.  Long before embodying radiant health and becoming an influential game changer, Bausch struggled for years with severe eating disorders and a recreational drug habit, that combined, led to a suicide attempt. It was during her recovery that she discovered her gift and love for the bike. Bausch speaks passionately around the world, spreading her message about the numerous benefits – humane, nutritional and environmental – of plant-based eating. Her popular TEDx Talk, “Olympic Level Compassion,” has garnered over 275,000 views and has been a catalyst of change for thousands of people.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...

Ice hockey is often stereotyped as a white man's sport. In fact, USA Today claims that the National Hockey League is made up of only 3% non-white players. But today's guest helped pave the way to increase that percentage and get more men of color on the ice. Georges Laraque is a retired professional hockey player, Canadian sports commentator, author, and animal rights activist. In his 13 years in the NHL, Georges played 695 games, including 57 in the playoffs and two fighting for the Stanley Cup. Since making the switch in 2009, Georges has steadily contributed to the vegetarian and environmental movements in Montreal.   In this episode, Alexandra and Dotsie speak with Georges about his journey to becoming one of the few men of color to play in the NHL and how shifting to a plant-based diet affected his life and understanding of justice. Tune in to hear more about Georges growing influence in the vegan, sports, and political communities.   What we discuss in this episode: What it was like for Georges growing up as a man of color who wanted to play hockey in Montreal Georges's inspiration for pursuing a career in hockey How the documentary Earthlings encouraged Georges to shift to a plant-based diet How injustice toward animals is similar to other social inequalities Georges's effect on the NHL community and the plant-based industry as a whole after becoming vegan How Georges is breaking down stereotypes of veganism through public speaking   Resources: George Laraque's Facebook - https://www.instagram.com/georges_laraque/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/georges_laraque/   Twitter - https://twitter.com/GeorgesLaraque  YouTube -  https://www.youtube.com/user/douly27 Website - https://georgeslaraque.com/    Dairy-Free Swaps Guide: Easy Anti-Inflammatory Meals, Recipes, and Tips https://switch4good.org/dairy-free-swaps-guide SUPPORT SWITCH4GOOD https://switch4good.org/support-us/ ★☆★ JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP ★☆★  https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat ★☆★ SWITCH4GOOD WEBSITE ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/ ★☆★ ONLINE STORE ★☆★ https://shop.switch4good.org/shop/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM ★☆★ https://www.instagram.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ★☆★ https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON TWITTER ★☆★ https://mobile.twitter.com/Switch4GoodNFT ★☆★ DOWNLOAD THE ABILLION APP ★☆★ https://app.abillion.com/users/switch4good

I am so fascinated by athletes and have to admit, hold them up as something quite magical. Who are they? What motivates them? Where did they get their superpowers? And that is why today's conversation is such a treat. I am speaking with Olympic silver medal cyclist, Dotsie Bausch…who smashes all preconceived notions about who an athlete is and how they are made. Dotsie is proof positive that change is possible. While other athletes might get their start when someone puts a golf club in their hand at the age of 3, or as part of their family's legacy, Dotsie overcame incredible obstacles to become a competitive cyclist in her mid-20s. She went plant-based in the middle of her competitive career, when plant-based athletes were few and far between. And she climbed onto that podium at the 2012 Olympic games a hair before her 40th birthday, proving that athletic excellence is only not the domain of the under 30 crowd.

This week, we present a bonus episode from our friends at Switch4Good. If you're not familiar with the work of Switch4Good, they are an evidence-based nonprofit, advocating passionately for a dairy-free world. For too long, society has accepted the distortion and misinformation Big Dairy feeds us. So Switch4Good exists to set the record straight, for the sake of human health, food justice, and the future of our planet. They work with health experts, athletes, social justice warriors, enlightened policy-makers, and progressive corporations to promote ethical lifestyles and widespread behavioral change related to how we eat. The Switch4Good podcast is hosted by Olympic medalist, Dotsie Bausch and former Baywatch actress, Alexandra Paul. I believe so much in the work they're doing that I wanted to share one of their podcast episodes with you today, especially as it relates to athletic performance.  Ryan Duff is a medical student and a recreational ultra-endurance runner, but more impressive than his academic and athletic achievements is his story of overcoming an eating disorder. Dotsie and Alexandra talk with Ryan about his struggle from anorexia to binge eating, and how he's overcome those hurdles by shifting to a plant-based diet.  They discuss the underlying causes of eating disorders, coping mechanisms, and the holistic impact of a whole-goof plant-based diet on your physical and mental health. As he says in the interview, “I don't run to eat. I eat and run.”   Episode Resources Download the Free Plant-Based Playbook from Switch4Good: https://switch4good.org/plant-based-playbook/ Join Team PLANTSTRONG and run with Rip! https://plantstrongfoods.com/pages/team-plantstrong  Original Episode show notes  - https://switch4good.org/from-binge-eater-to-an-ultra-runner-with-ryan-duff/  Ryan Duff Instagram - @unleashtheduff  

Our guest today is an expert on all things related to the penis and male reproductive medicine. Although many folks are uncomfortable talking about issues related to the penis, Dr. Arron Spitz normalizes important conversations around it and sexual health.

No matter what your relationship to food is, we all live in a world manipulated by an addiction business model. We're constantly confronted with ads for foods that have been designed to make us want more, and it began when the tobacco industry started buying up brands like Nabisco and Kraft Foods.

This is a gripping conversation about the intersections of human behavior, evolution, and modern-day consumer habits.  "Diet-related diseases have surpassed smoking-related diseases as the leading cause for natural death, so I think of processed food like cigarettes." - Dr. Joan Ifland What we discuss in this episode: How the addiction business model applies to food How do we get addicted to food?

In today's episode, we get to spend time with Wayne Pacelle, one of the leading contemporary animal rights advocates in the world. He is a graduate of Yale University, founder of Animal Wellness Action, and has led efforts to pass 1,500 state laws for animals, more than 100 federal laws and amendments, 30 ballot initiatives, and 500 corporate agreements.  If that's not impressive enough, in his free time he wrote two books, both New York Times best-sellers, titled The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them and The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals. Both Alexandra and Dotsie have worked with Wayne on a variety of animal issues, from the Kangaroos are Not Shoes global campaign to the current work Switch4Good and Wayne's organization, Animal Wellness Action, are partnering on to bring soy milk into U.S. public schools.  In today's episode with Wayne, we discuss exactly how and why Wayne started taking action to protect animals at a young age, why passing laws that protect animals is important, if focusing on “animal welfare” is worth it, and more. You don't want to miss this action-packed episode! “I would rather have millions of imperfect people being active for animals, rather than a couple thousand ‘perfect' people working for animals. We all should be doing the best we can. But I also don't want this [vegan movement] to be a club.” - Wayne Pacelle   What we discuss: Why Wayne thinks that our social drive includes nonhuman animals  How he started taking action for animals at a young age through direct action  Why protecting animals through policy and law is so important and powerful  Should we be focusing on “animal welfare”?  Why storytelling, when it comes to individual animal lives, is so powerful  The effectiveness of using animal testing for cosmetics and drugs    Resources:  Animal Wellness Action - https://animalwellnessaction.org Wayne's Books - https://www.amazon.com/Wayne-Pacelle/e/B004B1B3O6%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share   Connect with Switch4Good   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   Podcast Chat Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat/   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/Switch4GoodNFT   Website - https://switch4good.org/   Use code SWITCH for 25% off your order at MaxinesHeavenly.com   Click on this link to download the abillion app - https://abillion.onelink.me/42TD/switch4good

Our podcast guest, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Louann Brizendine, joins us on the Switch4Good podcast to talk about why males and females communicate and process emotions differently. In this episode, Dr. Louann talks to Dotsie and Alexandra about her books, The Male Brain and The Female Brain, and how they have helped readers navigate relationships with their partners, spouses, friends, and family members around the world. Dr. Brizendine founded the Woman's Mood and Hormone Clinic at UCSF, and then went on to write another book called The Upgrade, which explains how the female brain gets “upgraded” in midlife. She believes that this time in a female's life brings more clarity and a laser-like sense of purpose if you know how to tap into it.  Join us today to discuss how to harness that new “upgraded” brain power, and navigate relationships with life-long partners, hormones, depression, menopause, and more.  “There is a 2:1 ratio when it comes to depression in women over men. And I felt like, that is not fair. What is up with that? Then I realized, that in childhood, the depression ratio is only 1:1, male to female. At age 13 or 14, it goes up in females. The menstrual cycle starts, and the hormones start.”  - Dr. Louann Brizendine   What we discuss in this episode:   - Dotsie reads an excerpt from her book about falling in love with her husband    - The main differences in male and female brains   - How hormones impact males and females differently    - How one person can't fulfill all of our needs   - How our expectations, unchecked, can hurt our partners    - Why females are twice as likely to be depressed    - Why menopause and post-menopause can be a transformative time in your life   - Why men are hesitant to live vegan    - Learn more about “The Upgrade” - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/591607/the-upgrade-by-louann-brizendine-md/   - Dr. Brizendine's website - https://www.louannbrizendine.com/   Connect with Switch4Good   - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   - Podcast Chat Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat/   - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   - Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/Switch4GoodNFT    - Website - https://switch4good.org/   - Use code SWITCH for 25% off your order at MaxinesHeavenly.com   - Purality B12 Deal: https://puralityhealth.com/liposomal-b12/ to buy one B12 and get one free plus 35% off the rest of Purality's products.

New Zealand, also known as Aotearoa, produces approximately 21 billion liters of milk every year, or about 3% of the world's milk production (95% of which are exported to more than 130 countries worldwide). Isn't that great? But wait until you see the impact of dairy farming on the environment.  Today we will talk about a fantastic film co-produced by a passionate Māori activist Chris Huriwai, co-founder of the animal rights project Aotearoa Liberation League. Chris is a vegan advocate and 3-time world champion for street unicycling. So, why should we care about Chris and this film? MILKED is a documentary that features interviews with high-profile contributors like primatologist and anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall, environmentalist Suzy Amis Cameron, and Cowspiracy co-director Keegan Kuhn. The film reveals the harsh reality behind the seemingly idyllic and green dairy farming tale in New Zealand, uncovering alarming information about the impacts of the industry on the environment and health of the dairy farming community. MILKED presents evidence that we are on the edge of probably the biggest disruption of food and agriculture in history. It points to what New Zealand and other countries can do to prevent the destruction of their environment and change their fate. What we discuss in this episode:    -First, let's hear about Dotsie's amazing work in partnership with Animal Wellness Action to change laws and policies for the animals. She also campaigned for improving the school lunch program to include soy milk in schools.   -Chris talks about his life as a Maori child and how homeschooling shaped his view of the world.   -How did his family react when he moved away from consuming animal products?   -Chris shares what it's like inside Fonterra, the largest NZ dairy farm, and how its dairy farming operation is impacting the water supply in the area.   -What impetus led Chris to make a film, and why focus on Fonterra?   -Did Chris think Fonterra would answer the questions and be open to discussing the issues at hand?    -Is Chris expecting a backlash from Fonterra, and are there claims that the film is attacking the dairy farmers?   -How do cows live in Aotearoa? It looks idyllic and green, but what is the real picture?   -Fonterra exports 95% of its products, and the company is expanding its operations in Indonesia. But what is the true impact of this move?   -Do small dairy farmers benefit from large capitalistic companies? How can they adjust to a different life with the agricultural destruction? What subsidies are available to them?   -What would people walk away with after watching the film?    -What's next for Chris Huriwai?   -Watch MILKED on these platforms - https://milked.film/, https://join.waterbear.com/, and https://www.youtube.com/plantbasednews   -Connect with Chris Huriwai on Instagram and Facebook   -Check out Chris Huriwai's YT Channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisHuriwai   -Use code SWITCH for 25% off your order at MaxinesHeavenly.com   -Purality B12 Deal: https://puralityhealth.com/liposomal-b12/ to buy one B12 and get one free plus 35% off the rest of Purality's products   Connect with Switch4Good -YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   -Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   -Podcast Chat Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat/   -Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   -Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/Switch4GoodNFT   -Website - https://switch4good.org/  

"1 in 3 people that you serve a cow's milk to you're making sick. And you're up-charging for something that's not going to make them sick."Today we are chatting to Dotsie Bausch. An exceptional athlete and plant based advocate. She took home a medal in the 2012 London Olympic Games and won eight US national championships, two Pan American gold medals and has a world record. She starred in the hugely popular documentary The Game Changers and Personal Gold. In 2018 Dotsie launched her non-profit Switch4Good in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow's milk is not part of a high-performance diet. As you can imagine there's a lot to talk about. We'll be talking a fair bit about Switch4Goods recent campaign targeting Starbucks, the life of an Olympian and the realities, how fitness and health evolves for individuals and a bit of politics and legislationVideo version: https://youtu.be/LtbYS8v8N6oThe key topics in today's episode:04:30 - Keeping fit 08:30 - Intense physical suffering 12:00 - Staying motivated 21:30 - Switch4Good 23:45 - Starbucks Campaign 30:00 - Spreading misinformation 37:00 - Giving up dairy 41:30 - Effective activism 45:30 - Are you lactose intolerant? 53:30 - Changing legislation 01:01:00 - New pilot study  01:09:00 - Words of wisdomConnect with Dotsie:Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/veganolympian/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/ Website | https://dotsiebauschusa.com/ Podcast | https://switch4good.org/podcastConnect with me:Instagram | @plant.paradigmYouTube | The Plant ParadigmTwitter | @plantparadigmWebsite | www.theplantparadigm.comSupport the show | Buy me a coffeeSubscribe to the podcast:Apple | Spotify | Stitcher |Stay happy,Eat plants,Peace

My guest today is the amazing Dotsie Bausch. Dotsie has been a pioneer in the plant-based movement and runs an amazing campaign called Switch4Good that focuses on eating more plant based and the “ditching dairy” movement. She has caught national news with her campaign against companies that don't allow milk alternatives or charge extra for them. Dotsie has been remarkable in every step of her life. She was once a journalism major, a New York runway model and an Olympian cyclist who won silver! I marvel at the images of Dotsie on the Olympic podium. She is beautiful and a lovely human being. I have had the pleasure of talking to her about so many things: about plant-based nutrition, health, removing dairy and she has even given me amazing makeup tips which I have yet to do by the way! Sometimes when we see people, we only see those beautiful parts, but Dotsie has had hardship too. Some people might not realize that Dotsie suffered from anorexia/bulimia, attempted suicide twice and had a cocaine dependency. I hope to talk about some of these important parts that make up the amazing Dotsie Bausch. Dotsie Bausch: https://dotsiebauschusa.com Switch4Good: https://www.switch4good.org

No matter what your relationship to food is, we all live in a world manipulated by an addiction business model. We're constantly confronted with ads for foods that have been designed to make us want more, and it began when the tobacco industry started buying up brands like Nabisco and Kraft Foods. Dr. Joan Ifland is an expert in processed food addiction, and her research is both eye-opening and appalling. This is a gripping conversation about the intersections of human behavior, evolution, and modern-day consumer habits.  What we discuss in this episode:   - The how the addiction business model applies to food   - How we get addicted to foods   - The overlap between tobacco and food    - How to tell if you are addicted to certain foods   - Immersion recovery and practical tips to feel better   - Joan analyzes Dotsie's relationship with food in a group setting   - Follow Joan on Instagram @foodaddictionreset   - Joan's website    - Food Addiction Education Facebook Group   Connect with Switch4Good - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   - Twitter - https://twitter.com/Switch4GoodOrg   - Website - https://switch4good.org/

When cyclist Dotsie Bausch quit dairy at 37, many in her circle warned it would jeopardize her Olympic dreams. The opposite happened. Her athletic recovery and performance went through the roof and propelled her forward to victory in the 2012 London Olympic Games. Now, she has a message for other athletes and consumers worldwide. Dotsie founded switch4good.org to spread the word. A growing number of Olympic athletes are joining the call to ditch dairy now! It was pretty mind blowing; without animal foods, my recovery time sped up and my output increased, Bausch shares. I had more energy and was able to gain more strength and in the end, was able to leg press 585 pounds x 60 reps x 5 sets without animals on my plate. The guys in the gym just scratched their heads watching me. Explaining what drives her to reach and educate others, Bausch explains, I want folks to be better informed and experience the secret to overall health and performance, be more disease resistant, and be aware of the lies the dairy industry perpetuates to us—which are motivated entirely by profit, not the betterment of our health or our planet. In addition to all the outreach work and resources she provides through Switch4Good, Bausch starred in James Cameron's The Game Changers (one of the most-watched documentary on Netflix) and gave an Olympic Level Compassion TED talk. Dotsie co-hosts a popular Switch4Good podcast (.5M downloads, listeners in 90 countries, 130+ episodes). And, she spoke before Congress to help change U.S. dietary guidelines. Going vegan is actually quite popular. A recent Ipsos survey revealed a 300% increase in Americans becoming vegan from 2004 to 2019. A vegetarian eats no meat. Vegans also don't consume dairy or other animal products. What I've learned about dairy – the industry itself, and consuming it – would simply shock 95% of the population, Bausch explained. It's as eye opening as it is upsetting. Dairy makes most people sick. Nearly 70% of the global population (and 70-95% of minorities) are lactose intolerant. Basically, the majority of people get sick if they consume any dairy at all. A National Institutes of Health report stated that approximately 65 percent of the human population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea. Eliminating the dairy helps people have more comfortable gut health.

Explaining what drives her to reach and educate others, Bausch explains, I want folks to be better informed and experience the secret to overall health and performance, be more disease resistant, and be aware of the lies the dairy industry perpetuates to us—which are motivated entirely by profit, not the betterment of our health or our planet. In addition to all the outreach work and resources she provides through Switch4Good, Bausch starred in James Cameron's The Game Changers (one of the most-watched documentary on Netflix) and gave an Olympic Level Compassion TED talk. Dotsie co-hosts a popular Switch4Good podcast (.5M downloads, listeners in 90 countries, 130+ episodes). And, she spoke before Congress to help change U.S. dietary guidelines. Going vegan is actually quite popular. A recent Ipsos survey revealed a 300% increase in Americans becoming vegan from 2004 to 2019. A vegetarian eats no meat. Vegans also don't consume dairy or other animal products. What I've learned about dairy – the industry itself, and consuming it – would simply shock 95% of the population, Bausch explained. It's as eye opening as it is upsetting. Dairy makes most people sick. Nearly 70% of the global population (and 70-95% of minorities) are lactose intolerant. Basically, the majority of people get sick if they consume any dairy at all. A National Institutes of Health report stated that approximately 65 percent of the human population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include abdominal cramping, bloating, and diarrhea. Eliminating the dairy helps people have more comfortable gut health.

Ever wondered what it's like inside the mind of an Olympic medalist? Dotsie Bausch, Olympic Silver Medalist, and 7-time USA Cycling National Champion talks about what it takes to train six hours a day, six days a week, for years and years, and her true feelings towards habits. Whether you swear against having habits, or are trying to better understand those that don't practice them at all, this episode is for you.Dotsie, having been a fashion model in New York, admittedly was battling anorexia and underwent intensive therapy for three years. What she did with that momentum to later be standing on an Olympic podium in front of half of the royal family, Paul McCartney in audience, and all because she went through with a ‘dare' to take up track cycling, this may be that inspiring message you've been needing to hear! Dotsie takes us inside her life now as an advocate, speaker, survivor, and the executive director of the nonprofit, Switch4Good.

From Sundance, I sit down with ultimate fighter, James "Lightning" Wilks, former special ops, anti-poacher, Damien Mander, athlete and strongman competitor, Patrik Baboumian and former NFL player, Lou Smith, who break open the myth that meat is good for you in the movie, The Game Changers.  Specifically, they explain in scientific detail that meat is responsible for significantly increasing the risks for many of the major diseases and that all that we thought we knew about meat is a marketing spin from the meat and dairy industry.  Coming from some of the most manly men around, they also prove that eating meat decreases libido and sexual function and produces the opposite result of what manly men actually want. Apparently, real men eat plants!  The movie features Arnold Schwarzenegger, is produced by James Cameron, and is directed by Academy Award winner (The Cove), Louie Psihoyos.

Dotsie, aside from winning a Silver medal in the 2012 Olympics in Women's Cycling Team Pursuit (the first medal won by an American team in this event in over 20 years) has also won 2 gold medals in the Pan Am games and 7 time National champion in cycling.  We discuss her training practices in preparation for the Olympics, the benefits of training with a power meter and the future of monitoring power as it relates to running.  Many experts believe that once power measurement reaches the running community, all records will fall.
