Podcasts about plant based living

Have you ever looked at someone who's done something so extraordinary that you thought, “I could never do that”? What if you could, and it simply meant changing the way you think?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Joe Gagnon, a man who has proven that what seems impossible is often just the beginning. At age 39, Joe was not an athlete. But he decided to make a change. That choice led him to run six marathons in six days on six continents, complete multiple Ironman races, and even finish the grueling Badwater 135 ultra-marathon across Death Valley.Joe shares how he reframed challenges, leaned into discomfort, and discovered the power of living with intention. His story is proof that it's never too late to start fresh, to rewrite your narrative, and to push past self-imposed limits.If you've ever felt stuck, too old to start, or overwhelmed by the thought of change, Joe's wisdom will encourage you to take one intentional step at a time toward the extraordinary life God designed for you.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:15] Topic and Guest Introduction[03:32] Introduction to Joe Gagnon and His Journey[06:36] The Breakout: From Average to Athlete[08:18] The Marathon Challenge: Six Marathons in Six Days[11:30] Why Self-Care Must Come First[14:24] The Power of Mindset in Pushing Limits[18:22] Finding Your Why: The Importance of Purpose[23:32] The Five Pillars of a High-Performance Life[27:58] Embracing Discomfort and Reframing Life's Challenges[28:40] The Journey to Plant-Based Living[31:47] Understanding Personal Choices and Their Impact[36:00] Taking the First Step Towards Change[38:03] Building a Success Plan and Celebrating Progress[41:17] Curiosity and Lifelong Learning[43:41] Where to Find Joe's Book Living Intentionally[45:17] Fun Family Traditions & Giving Back[47:08] Final Thoughts and ResourcesResources mentioned:Book: Living Intentionally by Joe GagnonEmail: jgagnon232@gmail.comDaily Blog: joecurious.substack.comWebsite: thehighperformancelife.netInstagram: @thehighperformancelifeLinkedIn: Joe Gagnon on LinkedInVisibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramConnect with today's guest:Joe Gagnon is a CEO, high-performance coach, endurance athlete, and author of Living Intentionally.

This podcast with Dimple Jangda explores the root causes of chronic lifestyle diseases and the power of natural healing. She explains that over 90% of illnesses stem from poor gut and colon health, aggravated by processed foods, animal-based products, and overuse of antibiotics. According to her, the path to recovery lies in a whole-food, plant-based diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts, what she calls “live foods” full of prana and high vibrational energy. In contrast, processed and animal foods are “dead foods” that poison the body and trigger disease. She highlights the importance of fasting - intermittent, fruit, and even extended water fasts as a way to rest the gut, regenerate immunity, and even destroy cancer cells through autophagy. Practical advice includes eating within an 8-hour window, making lunch the largest meal, keeping dinners light, soaking and cooking foods properly, and never mixing incompatible food groups like fruits with dairy or grains. Real-life success stories ranging from reversing thyroid, obesity and PCOD to curing IBS and diabetes demonstrate how discipline, diet, and gratitude can transform health. Her closing message emphasizes living in harmony with nature, practicing fasting and preventive care, and embracing a plant-based lifestyle to achieve long-lasting health, happiness, and vitality.

“I got kicked out of college. That was the moment I had to grow up—not just as a player, but as a man.” – Davon DillardWhen I first saw Davon Dillard playing for the Saigon Heat, I knew I had to talk to him. He stood out immediately—not just because of his athleticism on the court, but because there was something about his presence. He looked focused. Grounded. Professional.And as it turns out—his story is even more powerful off the court than on it.Davon opens up about hitting rock bottom after getting dismissed from Oklahoma State, and how that moment became the spark for personal growth, discipline, and a complete lifestyle change. Now, not only is he playing pro basketball in Vietnam, but he's also a published author, a proud vegetarian for over a decade, and someone who's using his story to lift others up.This one's about more than basketball. It's about identity, transformation, and how we can all use our lowest points to rise higher than ever before.Key Talking Points- What it's like playing for the Saigon Heat and the basketball culture in Vietnam- First impressions of Vietnam, and how Davon's family reacted to the move- What it's like being a tall, tattooed, Black athlete in Asia- How a lifelong aversion to meat turned into 11+ years of vegetarian living- Thoughts on Vietnamese food (and navigating “healthy” options)- The power of resilience, community, and building a legacy through writingChapters and Timestamps06:20 – Basketball in Vietnam: Clappers, crowds, and why it's catching on10:15 – Standing out in Asia: On being tall, tattooed, and Black in public15:40 – The turning point: Getting kicked out of college and hitting rock bottom26:30 – Writing three cookbooks and building purpose beyond basketball34:00 – Going vegetarian: childhood food aversions, fasting, and discipline40:00 – Protein & performance: how he fuels his body with mushrooms, eggs & juice"Send me a message!"This Season is sponsored by Premier Dental.Discover the potential of a confident and healthy smile with the excellent dental clinic in Ho Chi Minh The full list of winners is here.

In this episode of the Plant Based Curious Podcast, host Diane Randall chats with Alison Corey (creator of Keeping the Peas and author of Weeknight Vegans).  Allison shares game-changing tips for balancing taste buds, reducing resistance, and making meals everyone actually wants to eat. Learn how to turn chili night vegan, win over picky eaters, and save time with smart prep—no separate meals required!  Key Takeaways:  You don't need to go 100% plant-based overnight. Begin with one meal (e.g., lentil chili, burrito bowls) and build momentum.  Remind yourself why you're doing this (health, animals, environment) to stay motivated through pushback.  Veganize comfort foods: Swap ground beef for lentils in chili, use cashew cheese in mac ‘n' cheese, or try teriyaki tofu bowls.  Alison's mantra: “Make it familiar, make it flavorful, and they won't miss the meat.Build Buddha bowls with grains, roasted veggies, beans, and sauces (like tahini dressing or cilantro vinaigrette). Let everyone customize their toppings! Batch-cook staples (rice, lentils, roasted veggies) for quick assembly on busy nights.  Involve kids/spouses in meal choices: “What looks good to you?” reduces friction.   Standout Quotes:  “You're a changemaker—even small steps influence your family's habits.”  “Normalize plant-based meals. Soon, they won't even ask where the meat is.”  “Burrito bowls are my secret weapon. Everyone cleans their plate!”  Resources Mentioned:  Alison's Blog & Recipes:  Keeping the Peas  Cookbook: Weeknight Vegans Meal Prep Essentials: Canned beans, quinoa, tahini, frozen veggies Listener Action Steps:  Try a “Taco Tuesday” Makeover: Use seasoned lentils instead of beef.  Involve Your Family: Let kids pick a plant-based recipe to try each week.  Meal Prep Sundays: Cook 2-3 grains/legumes for easy bowl meals.   Share the Love: Bring a vegan dish to your next gathering (Alison's chili recipe FTW!).  Why Listen?  Alison's blend of empathy and practicality turns mixed-diet chaos into kitchen harmony. Walk away with recipes even meat-lovers crave and strategies to stay sane (and plant-based) in a non-vegan world.  Send us a textSupport the showReady to Dive Deeper into Plant-Based Living?If this episode sparked your curiosity, we've got even more to help you on your journey!

Overview:This week you get a glimpse of Michele being messy.  Behind‐the-scenes meltdowns, technical snafus (shoutout to Charlie for the rescue!), and the struggle with self-doubt, the message is clear: it's not about being a master, but about showing up, experimenting, and learning through every misstep.Key Segments: The Power of Being a Beginner Being “new” at something is a strength—not a weakness. The value of consistent effort, even when mistakes are made, and the freedom found in giving up on “perfect.” Science Supports New Beginnings Insights from the National Institute on Aging highlight that learning new skills can: Boost cognitive health and memory Enhance brain plasticity Provide mental stimulation and improve overall quality of life The analogy: just as our bodies benefit from physical exercise, our brains thrive when challenged with novel activities. Plant-Based Living as a Path  The benefits of a plant-based diet: anti-inflammatory, heart-healthy, and nurturing for both body and mind.

Tune in to learn from two leading voices in the world of plant-based nutrition and discover how to make healthy living both achievable and enjoyable!   “The root cause of type two diabetes, despite what people think, it's not sugar or carbs; it's actually fat. Insulin is like a key that unlocks a door in our muscle cells primarily so we can store sugar in the form of glycogen and use that for physical activity. And when we get too much fat in the muscle cells, eating this kind of standard Western diet – meat, dairy heavy – some of that fat ends up in the muscle. So it clogs up, jams up the lock from the inside so that insulin can't unlock the door, and so your sugar levels start to go up. And over time, that puts more and more strain on our pancreas, which is the organ that makes insulin, and so we start out with this insulin-resistant state, prediabetes metabolic syndrome, and then that progresses over time through to type two diabetes.” - Dr. Jim Loomis   What we discuss in this episode: - The health risks associated with cooking oils and Caryn's practical tips for oil-free cooking. - Grilled meat and carcinogenic compounds. - The critical role of fiber in your diet. Dr. Loomis's daily fiber recommendations.  - Caryn's practical tips for boosting fiber intake in your daily meals. - Techniques to enhance the flavor of your dishes without relying on excessive salt. - Food recommendations for optimal health. - The truth about lectins and phytates.   Resources:  - Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference: International Plant-Based Nutrition Healthcare Conference - https://pbnhc.com/ - Center for Plant-Based Living: Center for Plant-Based Living - https://www.cpbl-stl.com/ - The Doc & Chef: The Doc and Chef — Center for Plant-Based Living - https://www.cpbl-stl.com/thedocandchef - The Doc & Chef YouTube: The Doc & Chef - YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1z0-VXJyGx_QqNRQv6q_vw - STL Veg Girl: STL Veg Girl :: About - http://stlveggirl.com/about-caryn-dugan/ - Instagram: CARYN // Helping you to add more plants to your plate— easily!

In the realm of health and wellness, one might not expect to find an 80-year-old dynamo passionately advocating for plant-based living and animal rights. Yet, Linda Middlesworth defies expectations with her vibrant energy and unwavering commitment to veganism. With nearly four decades of plant-based living under her belt, Linda's journey from illness to vitality is both inspiring and instructive. The Genesis of an Evolution  Linda's journey towards veganism began in the midst of personal health struggles. At 44 years old, she found herself battling cancer, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and pre-diabetes. Despite leading an active lifestyle as an aerobics instructor, Linda couldn't reconcile her health issues with her seemingly healthy diet, which included animal products like eggs, chicken, fish, and dairy. A chance encounter with her neighbor led her to discover Dr. John McDougall's revolutionary approach to plant-exclusive, starch-based eating. Embracing this new dietary paradigm, Linda embarked on a journey of healing and transformation. She shed excess weight, reversed her chronic health conditions, and regained vitality—all without the need for radiation, chemotherapy, or invasive surgeries. A Shift towards Advocacy As Linda's health improved, her journey took an unexpected turn towards advocacy for animal rights.

Don't forget the struggle, the streets, or your roots, and resist selling out—such is the message from today's guest, Toby Morse. Toby, the frontman of the hardcore punk band H2O and host of the One Life One Chance podcast, is here to dispense a rebellious prescription of Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). Inspired by the 1988 Lower East Side transgressive punk rock scene, Toby formed H2O, synonymous with Straight Edge and PMA communities. Committed to a plant-based, drug, and alcohol-free lifestyle, Toby defies societal norms in the music and tattooed subcultures. Celebrating individuality, he champions misfits, spreading hope for positive change among the youth.  Our conversation explores the profound significance of friendship, fatherhood, and the transformative journey within the hardcore punk movement. Toby advocates for a non-conformist lifestyle, aligning with his passion for animal rights and fostering positivity amidst societal challenges and social media acrimony. We delve into Toby's fitness regimen, cold plunging, and the pursuit of authenticity in podcasting. This conversation is uplifting, insightful, and gratifying—an exploration of punk ethos, friendship, and positivity.

Mentioned in the Intro: Get on Ella's NEW coaching program waitlist HERE. (https://sexyfitvegan.com/waitlist/) I'm down at least two sizes and it feels really good because I did it in a way that was healthier. I was full and eating normally and I worked out. So not only do my clothes not fit, but I also feel really strong and really light... and my numbers, like my cholesterol, are better in three months.        - Jen WhortonThis is an incredibly inspiring episode featuring one of my most recent coaching program graduates, Jen Whorton, who, in just 3 short months, experienced extraordinary shifts in not only the size and shape of her body, but also in how she moves through the world, to the point that we joke that her friends are not going to believe it's her talking on this podcast.I felt called to invite her to come on the show and share about her journey, with the intention of helping others who are unhappy with their body, who feel out of control when it comes to consistently eating healthfully, who are sick and tired of dieting and quick-fix-type programs out there making promises that lead to 80-90% of people gaining all the weight they lost back, and who are ready to align their lifestyle with true health and finally find FREEDOM.It's been such a privileged to play a role in Jen's metamorphosis that took her from the shackles of emotional eating to the liberation of a plant-based lifestyle. Her story is nothing short of awe-inspiring and it exemplifies how changing our relationship with food isn't just about what we eat, but why and how we eat. It's been an emotional voyage, marked by the trials of disordered eating and the joy of finding peace in aligning values with actions. Jen's story isn't just about weight; it's about unwrapping the layers of self-love and kindness that have been buried under years of struggle. It's clear that the journey to well-being is about more than just the physical—it's a holistic path paved with mindfulness, creativity, and an open heart to the world around us.>> View the full show notes HERE.

In a world filled with various dietary choices, the decision to embrace a vegan lifestyle is often more than just a change in what's on your plate; it's a profound transformation that touches every aspect of your life. For Camilla Clare Brinkworth, this transformation has been nothing short of extraordinary. Camilla's journey to veganism began with a deep sense of compassion for animals and a growing awareness of the environmental impact of our dietary choices. She realized that choosing to be vegan was not just about what she was eating; it was about adopting a holistic philosophy that aligned with her values of kindness, sustainability, and overall well-being. Chronic pain was a constant companion in Camilla's life until she decided to make the switch to a whole food plant-based diet. Within weeks of going vegan, she experienced a remarkable reduction in her pain levels, particularly in her neck, where she had been suffering from arthritis. The pain that had once been a daily burden gradually disappeared, leaving her with a newfound sense of freedom and vitality. But the benefits of veganism didn't stop there. Camilla's mood improved significantly as she continued to incorporate more plant-based foods into her diet. She transitioned from being an unhappy individual to waking up every day with gratitude and joy. Her baseline became one of positivity, and she couldn't be happier with the transformation. Today, Camilla Brinkworth is not only an advocate for veganism but also a living testament to its transformative power. She embraces a lifestyle that prioritizes non-cruelty to animals, environmental sustainability, and individual health. Her journey showcases the incredible potential for change that lies within each of us. Camilla is also passionate about raising awareness of sustainable alternatives to traditional dietary choices, such as aji flower oil, which she believes can revolutionize the way we approach health and nutrition.

Fact: Eating fewer AGEs will likely improve your health.   What are advanced glycation end-products (AGEs)? Dr. Hana Kahleova details the harmful inflammatory compounds, how they are created, which foods have the most, and the diseases they can cause when she joins The Exam Room Podcast and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll.   Dr. Kahleova is the lead researcher of a study examining the effects of reducing the amount of AGEs in a person's diet. The results could be seen within just a matter of weeks.   Dr. Neal Barnard also joins the show to share more evidence that women can naturally reduce uncomfortable hot flashes by changing their diet.   The results of a second study of dozens of hot flash sufferers confirms that eating a plant-based diet that is low in fat is about as effective as hormone replace therapy. Dr. Barnard discusses the eye-opening results and why soy can be especially powerful for minimizing or even eliminating hot flashes.   He joins Chuck to review the changes women can make to find natural relief from hot flashes. — — — AGEs Study Study: https://bit.ly/AGEsStudy Watch presentation: https://youtu.be/30ZMYh5x-zQ — — — WAVS II Study https://bit.ly/WAVS-II-Study — — — Center for Plant-Based Living https://bit.ly/CPBLStL — — — Work for PCRM https://bit.ly/PCRMjobs — — — 5-Star Health Success Subscribe, leave a 5-star rating and share your success story in a review!
