If you've followed the PLANTSTRONG Podcast, no doubt you're familiar with Robby Barbaro, one of the founders of Mastering Diabetes and now, an official IRONMAN triathlon finisher!If you don't know, an IRONMAN is a one-day triathlon where you swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and then run a marathon! Crazy, right?! It's even more awesome since Robby did it as a plant-based, Type 1 diabetic.In this episode, Rip and Robby talk about how he trained, fueled, and monitored his glucose during training and racing. They also talk about his mindset and training process, as he essentially started from ground zero as a triathlete. As Robby says, you can always become a happier and better version of yourself and that's exactly what he did. He found an area in his life he wasn't happy with, and sought to make big changes. We invite all of you to do it too, no matter what your goals happen to be. (and believe me, it doesn't have to be an IRONMAN!)

I worked with more clients, wrote, and integrated some significant life events during this time. The break was well worth it, and I'm eager to bring more meaningful conversations and ideas to support the evolution of leadership that aims to improve our world.How to End Injustice Everywhere: Understanding the Common Denominator Driving all Injustices, to Create a Better World for Humans, Animals, and the Planet is now my go-to reference as we strive to end injustice. Dr. Melanie Joy has a unique ability to break down complex concepts into practical and easy-to-understand nuggets, helping us gain a deeper understanding of the systems we participate in on a daily basis. This knowledge can help us positively create a better world for all - humans, animals, and the planet. She is today's guest mentor. “We don't help people see different things. We help them see the same things, differently.” –Melanie Joy, Ph.D., and Other Pioneers Before Her The work of Dr. Melanie Joy has had a significant impact on me, as indicated by the quote above. When we see the same things differently, we change our lives and how we lead.Since learning from her teachings, I have gained a new perspective on my dietary habits and transitioned to a plant-based diet, eliminating all meat, dairy, and egg products a few months before our first podcast conversation on June 7, 2021. Melanie has helped me comprehend the psychology and invisible systems that condition us to consume certain animals.I feel physically healthier and more in sync with my ethical values. It no longer makes sense to me to harm animals when I have committed to not hurting myself or others. Why should I consume something with eyes if I am devoted to treating all beings with kindness and respect? This is my viewpoint; it doesn't have to be yours.My perspective has become clearer and more relational after reading Melanie's research, attending her webinars, and listening to our podcast conversations. Melanie is an exceptional teacher, mentor, entrepreneurial leader, and advocate. Her distinctive understanding of oppression and social transformation in relationships offers an explanation for the dysfunction in our world and provides actionable steps to address it.I greatly admire Dr. Melanie Joy and her brave efforts in leading a worldwide movement to awaken us from our oppressive state and guide us toward a more enlightened way of relating to ourselves, other humans, animals, and the planet. She embodies integrity and demonstrates respect for the dignity of every individual, and I encourage everyone to follow her example of practicing relational literacy.When I was introduced to Dr. Melanie Joy.My daughter Olivia heard Melanie on Simon Hill's Plant Proof podcast a few years ago. After purchasing a few of Melanie's books, like Getting Relationships Right, Beyond Beliefs, Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows,

In Episode #216, I sit down with Dr David Jenkins to discuss the relationship between cholesterol and health.Cholesterol levels are concerningly high among populations consuming a standard Western diet. On the flip side, plant-based diets are often criticised for their lack of cholesterol. We know that cholesterol is an essential component of the human body — but is it necessary to consume it, and is this a concern for plant-based eaters? Dr David Jenkins answers this question and much more in today's episode.In this episode, we dig into cholesterol and the health implications of sub-optimal levels. We discuss the Portfolio Diet, weight loss, and the current research on cholesterol. Dr Jenkins also shares his recommendations on how and what to eat for optimal cholesterol levels, as well as how medication compares to a lifestyle approach.You can learn more about Dr Jenkins and discover his publications on his University of Toronto profile.

My guest today is author and podcast host Simon Hill. Simon extended the conversation of his popular podcast PLANTPROOF with his latest in depth book PROOF IS IN THE PLANTS: HOW SCIENCE SHOWS A PLANT-BASED DIET COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE (AND THE PLANET). Regardless if you are a vegetarian, vegan or meat eater, this is a wonderful conversation about food. Eating: we do it several times a day so what are some of the best practices regardless of your tribal eating. I love Simon's ability to be fair, reasonable and still as detailed in the research as he was able to be today. Science is always moving, but some things keep showing up as best for us and best for the planet. In the end his attitude and ability to dig down into the information will make him a great communicator and advocate for "healthy food" and lifestyle. Simon is not guilting or shaming regardless of your personal preference he is simply sharing and inviting. Enjoy NOTE: I did not ask about and wish I had more time to dive into supplementation. There is an extensive Chapter in the book on supplements, but I did follow up with Simon and if you are only listening to the podcast the gentle reminder of the importance of B12, D3, and Iodine.
