So, you just went Vegan, now what? What to learn how to prep and cook Vegan dishes without being overwhelmed. Erica Stephens makes cooking easy, with tutorials, classes and a cookbook to help you better understand what foods to eat and how to eat them for a healthy Vegan lifestyle.Erica's story, I hate to admit, is fairly typical in the US, with the Standard American Diet. She was suffering from diabetes, migraines, high blood pressure and a multitude of other illnesses causing her to take 14 different doctor prescribed medications. She was depressed, facing memory loss and was told she would be living the rest of her life on at least 14 different medications. I am happy to say that Erica Stephens has been medication free for over 2 years simply by changing to a plant based lifestyle. Luckily, her daughter was Vegan and helped her regain her memory and her health by eating a plant based diet. She is still on the path to recovering her health and is dedicated to helping others do the same. She has created a Facebook group, Website and Cookbook to help new Vegans learn to cook and eat healthy. Erica Stephens and her daughter have their first cookbook out now and they are working to release a second cookbook by the end of the year (2020). They are planning to open a catering business / Food Truck soon. Erica offers online classes for those who are becoming Vegan or those who are simply interested in learning more about eating and living a healthier lifestyle.I love podcasting with Buzzsprout!

I'm glad to bring you a NEW EPISODE of Taekwondo Passion.The story of Kashish Malik. A young athlete with high aspirations from India.Gold medal in South Asian Games 2019. Only indian athlete to reach quarter finals in Jakarta Asian Games 2018 three months after being diagnosed with jaundice.She didn't want to learn taekwondo but her sports instructor challenged her.She loved taekwondo so much that she changed her goals of a high position in the Government of India to start pursuing an athletic career.She is fighting outside the ring trying to inspire future indian taekwondo athletes.Fighting internationally she has learned that in competition you can be an opponent with other athletes, but outside it your opponents are also beautiful souls.Kashish is young but determined, an athlete that never gives up.Please enjoy the interview and let us know your thoughts on the comments section. Feeling a superheroThe story of Kashish Malik has a common beginning on successful taekwondo athletes.They were very active kids, not always with the best behaviour. She was a very sporty girl who loved to play cricket with her brothers.When she was 6 year old, playing to be a superhero Kashish Malik jumped over the back of her brother, causing him to fall to the floor and to have a tooth broken. Later she got in trouble at school for defending against a bully.Her sports teacher and also a taekwondo instructor saw her energy and invited her to take taekwondo classes.But the martial art was not attractive for her. As she already stood up against the bully with no need of taekwondo, why would she need it?The teacher challenged her to go to his taekwondo school and sparr with one of his students. As she was new to the martial art naturally she didn't win.But even though it was something new for her she didn't give up.Now she is one of the best athletes of her country. The first to win a gold medal at the South Asian Games and with a strong compromise to inspire future Indian taekwondo athletes.How to help athletes to pursue a career in taekwondo?Taekwondo is a martial art practiced in the whole world. Often we hear that is only the second most practiced sport after football.It is an Olympic sport, but still we do not have a solid professional platform for athletes around the world. As we talked with Erica Stephens the Grand Slam is one of the first attempts and I hope in the future we will have more events like this.Pursuing a taekwondo career is a difficult task for many athletes. Kashish shared with us that she wants to make taekwondo more popular in her country, because although many people practice taekwondo in India, athletes are not encouraged to go for the olympic dream.It is seen as very risky, because if you don't succeed it is considered a waste of time. But it is not the same with other more popular sports, like cricket.This is common around the world. Athletes and their families have to make big efforts to fund competitions and training, we can hear about it in our interviews with Terrence Jennings and Victoria Stambaugh for example.Kashish shared with us that she wants to win an olympic medal to change this. One medal can change everything. As Bradly Sinden shared with us, there was a big difference after Sarah Stevenson's olympic medal for Great Britain.The fighting spirit of Kashish “I never give up”Kashish is a fighter, she proved it at her first taekwondo class and later in her career she had to do it many times.She was selected to the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta. Three months before the competition she got jaundice. The doctor said that she couldn't go to the tournament, her situation was bad and she couldn't even walk sometimes.The doctor's main reason was that she needed to recover and that it was very irresponsible to compete. Kashish had made the decision to go. She didn't want to lose the opportunity to represent her country in such an important tournament.She wanted to give a medal to India. So she decided to compete, supported by her family and her coach. The day after she was discharged from the hospital she went to train and to prepare for the tournament.At the Asian games she was the only indian athlete to reach quarter finals. She lost with 2017 World Champion Lee Ah-reum, a very good result considering she was only 18 year old.More on the interview.Surely, we're going to hear of Kashish career soon, she is pointing high and she doesn't let obstacles stop her.She had another important knee injury before the Manchester 2019 World Championships. She even hid it to her teammates afraid of losing her spot for the competition. That is another story that is better to hear from her voice. Links below, please comment and let us know what did you learn from Kashish interview.

What is the most important thing any health professional should have?How sports organisms could fight against weight cutting?Is the 5% rule working to protect athletes?How should you rehydrate after weight cutting?Is there an age from which weight cutting could be less risky?NEW podcast EPISODE with a taekwondo passionate professional.Erica Stephens @nutritionfortaekwondo is an Accredited Sports Dietitian who works with athletes of all kinds of sports. Boxing, Muay Thai, Cricket, and many others. Of course she also works with taekwondo athletes. She even has written a book about specific nutrition for the sport of taekwondo.She has a Master of Nutrition and Dietetics (2010) and the world renowned International Olympic Committee Diploma in Sports Nutrition (2016).Erica was a former Australian National Team taekwondo athlete that represented her country internationally and made the Australian Olympic Shadow Team for the 2004 Athens Olympics.Erica stopped training taekwondo to focus on her studies, and she is passionate about using the combination of her academic and sports experience to help others.If you are interested in nutrition for taekwondo, health care, Aldous Huxley, weight cutting and fasting. This interview is for you.Disclaimer: Weight-cutting is a dangerous practice. By no way we are encouraging anybody to do it. This article and interview purpose is to promote discussion about the topic. Before doing it look for professional advice.How to rehydrate after weight cutting?I was curious about this, because I've heard that the best way to recover after weight cutting was just with small and continuous swallows. Apparently that was the best way to do it.Erica shares with us that the rehydration protocol should be specific for how much weight was cutted.About the small swallows they don't make any difference. You should rehydrate drinking normally, just avoiding to drink in an exaggerated way that could make you throw up.Is there an age from which weight cutting could be less risky?Weight cutting is risky. But weight cutting at a young age is very dangerous. To do it can compromise metabolic functions, grow and long term age.An 18 year old can be legally adult in some countries and can be responsible for his acts. Does this mean that an 18 year old should cut weight?Erica mentions that although as an 18 year old you can be legally an adult. There are still some physiological processes going on. And that nobody should cut weight under 21 or 20 years old.I think in this area we have a lot of work to do. Because as we have weight divisions in youth taekwondo, it's common that weight cutting happens, with all its potential damage.Fighting against extreme weight cuttingI asked Erica about possible strategies to fight extreme weight cutting in taekwondo. She answered that a very successful program was made by the NCAA in college wrestling.NCAA encourages athletes to just lose 1.5% of total body weight per week. Now they have a mandatory assessment of body fat and hydration as a condition to compete. Also every school has to establish in which class a wrestler will compete for the season.Maybe we are still far of it, but maybe if technology give us in the future a way to monitor athlete weight cutting in the future we could fight against it better.The 5 percent ruleOne of the World Taekwondo strategies to fight extreme weight cutting is the random weigh-in the morning of the competition.If you are selected for the random weigh-in, you only are allowed to weight less than 5% than the division limit.Erica shares with us that at this moment there is not enough evidence if the rule is working. First I thought that it could be potentially more damaging because athletes could not be fully recovered but Erica mentions that is not only to lose weight what damages, but also the bounce after making weight.Because you make your body go for two extreme weights. So, the rule may reduce the potential damage of the bounce.At least it is a first attempt to do something. Maybe not perfect but it shows will to fight against extreme weight cutting.Intermittent fasting and high performance athletesIn the last years (although is an ancient practice) it is more common to hear about intermittent fasting and its possible benefits.So, an athlete can possibly be benefited from this practice? Erica mentions that high performance athletes require a lot of energy. In a sport like taekwondo you need to have that energy immediately.So, intermittent practice is not the best tool for a taekwondo high performance athlete. You want to perform the best in competition, and to do that you have to also perform your best in training.If you don't have enough energy, your performance at training will be deficient and so your performance at competition.The most important thing about helping othersErica likes to read about everything. Not only her area of expertise. Even that sometimes what she reads is not related to nutrition, it has helped her in her practice.She shared with us that there is a study made for psychologists that concludes that the most important thing to help another person is not the academic background, the expertise, or the books the psychologists have read.The most important thing is rapport. The ability to get along with the other, to empathize.Erica shared with us that reading has helped her to improve this ability by talking with her patients about any topic in which they are interested. It is not necessary to be an expert in that topic, the most important thing is to show interest.Please enjoy the interview and share with us your thoughts on the comments.
