Podcasts about plant based

Do you find yourself ‘busy', ‘busy', and ‘BUSY' ALL day long? There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in a day to get everything done. So how do you take care of yourself, much less your health? And how do you make such a big shift, changing from meats to plants, when life just seems so busy all the time?   Well Friend, if time is your biggest challenge to moving into plant-powered eating because of a demanding schedule, I've got you. In this episode, I'll give you 3 reasons to prove that even if you are super-busy, you can still move into and enjoy a health boosting way of eating. Even if you are busy taking care of family, aging parents or grandkids, you CAN still build a strong body and good health in the process…so you can give more to your loved ones and be there for them longer.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  There is shocking news with this podcast that I hope will allow all of us to become healthier.  This episode I will discuss coaching and being coached.  We are all  always learning.  During our time in formal education situations, it is assumed that the teacher knows best.  Do as they say, get a good grade, and proceed in achieving your goals.  We trust that they will provide accurate information to the best of their abilities.  It is expected that one completes the assignments to the best of their abilities.  Grades are assigned for performance.  But we learned in a stepwise fashion.  Simple addition before calculus.  Our exceptions were based on that progression.  Some of us developed a need to please or get good grades.  The reward being good grades, good job, and self esteem.   As adults, we are still leaning at our own pace.  However, the information is infinite and abundant.  Only the individual knows the level of their current knowledge.  The coach has a singular goal to get the best results possible for a wide range of students.  We want to please the coach.  As adults, we can ask questions, but we still want to please the coach.  This applies to any learning situation.    My job as a physician is to educate my patient-students.  They come from a wide variety of backgrounds and interests.  I also have a coach for ultra running.  None of us want to come up short in the eyes of the teacher.  The ultimate goal is good communication that allows everyone to learn from their own starting point.  That is what my practice has always been about.  Our success depends upon accurate feedback and adjustment from both the teacher and the student. DHA is an omega 3 fatty acid that is abundant in the brain, the eye, and around the covering of nerves.  It is found in marine animals and algae.  Small amounts can be converted from plant sources of ALA like flaxseeds, hemp seeds, and chia seeds.  DHA levels have been found protective for mental health, cardiovascular health and immune health.  Have you passed the DHA test?  I have found that just consuming ALA is not adequate for good DHA levels in the majority of vegans.  That means some form of supplementation is necessary.  I will discuss this in this episode.  If you would like more information about how to address this issue, check our our website at doctordulaney.com Email: jami@doctordulaney.com Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Ebook: doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plates-ebook/?mc_cid=cc245876ac Water distillers: mypurewater.com/?sld-jdulaney   discount code:  cleanwaterforsophie  

Was passiert, wenn Nachhaltigkeit auf echten Genuss trifft? In dieser Folge von Food Fak(t) spreche ich mit Sophia Hoffmann – Köchin, Autorin, Aktivistin und Gründerin des Restaurants HAPPA in Berlin. Dort lebt sie, was sie predigt: eine kompromisslos nachhaltige Küche, in der alles verwertet wird, was Geschmack und Sinn ergibt. Wir reden über Zero-Waste-Kochen im Alltag, pflanzenbasierte Gastronomie, kreative Rezeptentwicklung und darüber, wie Technologie und Haltung die Küche von morgen verändern. Sophia erzählt, wie sie mit ihrem Team im HAPPA täglich neue Wege findet, Lebensmittelabfälle zu vermeiden – von Tomatenschalen-Pulver bis Blumenkohlblättern – und warum dabei nicht Moral, sondern Freude am Kochen im Mittelpunkt steht. Außerdem sprechen wir über ihre Masterclass Zero Waste, neue pflanzenbasierte Trends und darüber, warum nachhaltiges Kochen nicht Verzicht bedeutet, sondern ein Kulturwandel ist. Ein Gespräch über Mut, Geschmack – und die Kunst, Verantwortung köstlich zu machen. *** Instagram *** Folgt Food Fak(t) auch auf Instagram @foodfakt_podcast und bleibt auf dem Laufenden!

Hosted by Dr. Sarah Hensley, Specialized Social Psychologist, Attachment Theory Expert, and Founder & CEO of The Love Doc Relationship Coaching Services with Co-host Raina Butcher, Owner/CEO of Joyful Consulting, LLC. Welcome to "The Love Doc Podcast" Season II, where Host Dr. Sarah Hensley and her co-host Raina Butcher dive deep into the intricacies of love, attraction, attachment, relationships, and self-awareness. Dr. Hensley brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help listeners navigate the complexities of modern romance. In each episode, Dr. Hensley tackles burning questions about love, relationships, and the mind's complexities, drawing from her psychological research, real-life experiences, and her own individual expertise, to provide insightful perspectives and practical advice.Episode 25, Season II: "Plant-Based Interventions for PTSD & CPTSD"In this episode, Dr. Hensley dives into the rapidly growing field of plant-based trauma interventions and what current research is beginning to reveal about their potential to support healing from PTSD and Complex PTSD (CPTSD). She begins by breaking down the key differences between PTSD — which often develops from a single traumatic event — and CPTSD, which develops from long-term emotional, relational, or developmental trauma. Dr. Hensley also highlights the strong correlation between CPTSD and Fearful Avoidant attachment, explaining how chronic trauma impacts the nervous system's capacity for closeness, trust, and emotional stability.Drawing from her background as a researcher and scientist, Dr. Hensley brings her signature ability to translate complex research into clear, digestible insight. She examines emerging studies exploring cannabis as a trauma-informed intervention, including how it interacts with the endocannabinoid system and why certain compounds may support emotional regulation, memory reconsolidation, and nervous system downregulation in trauma recovery. She discusses what the evidence suggests, what remains inconclusive, and what to consider when exploring cannabis in a therapeutic context rather than recreational use.The episode then shifts into the evolving research surrounding psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound. While Dr. Hensley has not personally conducted research in either of these areas, she has deeply analyzed the current scientific literature, offering a balanced and grounded perspective on what early clinical trials are demonstrating — particularly regarding emotional processing, neural flexibility, self-compassion, and the ability to access emotions that may otherwise be suppressed. This conversation is not about endorsement, persuasion, or advocating a particular treatment — but rather education, curiosity, and informed awareness. The research in this field is still developing, but it is undeniably promising for the future of trauma recovery and attachment repair.Disclaimer:The information shared in this episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical, psychiatric, or clinical treatment advice.

When you're plant-based and your family and friends aren't, it can feel like you're the odd one out.  If you're hosting and you're not making turkey on Thanksgiving, your meat-eating guests are likely to grumble.  If you're a guest, you might go hungry unless you show up with a vegan meal to share. Is there any way to make the holiday gathering go a little smoother for everyone this year? Let's find out. Today, I'm talking with a very special guest, Nick Cutsumpas, also known as Farmer Nick. Nick is an Emmy-winning plant-based gardener, landscaper, and plant coach. I invited him on the show to have a conversation all about how to have a happy and healthy holiday when you're plant-based and your family is not. We go over: Meal ideas whether you are a guest or if you are hosting, Potluck do's and don'ts, and  How to best respond to common questions, without being that angry vegan And, I couldn't help myself, we also talk a little about gardening and houseplants, two more things Nick and I have in common.

Title:  Do Plant-Based Medicines Work? with Todd Youngblood Guest: Todd Youngblood, Co-Founder of Pneumogladius Host: Conrad Weaver, First Responder Wellness Podcast In this episode, Conrad Weaver sits down with Todd Youngblood, co-founder of Pneuma Gladius, a company dedicated to expanding access to plant-based medicines for mental health treatment. Todd shares the fascinating history and science behind natural psychedelic substances like psilocybin (magic mushrooms), ayahuasca, and mescaline — and how these naturally occurring compounds are showing tremendous promise in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The conversation dives into the stigma and myths surrounding psychedelics, the legal landscape evolving across the U.S., and how structured, intentional use of these substances — under proper guidance — can help individuals gain new perspectives on trauma and create lasting change. Todd also explains how these treatments differ from traditional medications, why they're not meant for long-term use, and how they promote neuroplasticity and personal growth. Conrad and Todd discuss the parallels between natural wellness approaches — like exercise, breathing, and time in nature — and the growing understanding that healing doesn't always come from pharmaceuticals alone. ABOUT TODD YOUNGBLOOD Todd Youngblood is a veteran advocate and mental health innovator dedicated to helping veterans and first responders heal from trauma, PTSD, and addiction through alternative therapies. As the founder of Pneuma Gladius, a Public Benefit Corporation, Todd is building an ecosystem that combines structured plant-based medicine, safe healing environments, and data collection to advance research and improve outcomes.

Have you ever felt worried about starting plant-based first, because the rest of your family are meat-eaters? Maybe you're worried that you'll end up having to always eat differently, and be forever ‘double cooking'. If that's you, I know how you're feeling. But sometimes, you won't know till you take that FIRST step forward…and sometimes the results can be amazingly beyond what we could have thought or imagined.   That was the case for my coaching client Dawn, who is part of a meat-eating family. And that's why I'm sharing this segment of her testimonial interview with you today.   Not only was Dawn a full-time nurse, she was also a busy mama with a teenage son and 10-year-old twin daughters. And the whole family was used to a meat-heavy regular diet, especially her husband. But through coaching, Dawn began to move into a plant-powered lifestyle with confidence, and things started to shift in her home…pretty quickly.   Listen in to find out the many positive changes that have since occurred in her family as a result of her courageously taking that first step forward into plant-based eating (spoiler alert: her husband's change is the biggest!). I hope this episode encourages and inspires you!     Contact -> healthnow@plantnourished.com Learn -> www.plantnourished.com Join -> Plant-Powered Life Transformation Course: www.plantnourished.com/ppltcourse Connect with Community -> www.facebook.com/groups/beginnerplantbaseddietsuccess Get Free 15-Minute Strategy Call -> www.plantnourished.com/strategycall Free Resource -> Quick Start Grocery Guide for Plant-Based Essentials: www.plantnourished.com/groceryguide     Have a question about plant-based diets that you would like answered on the Plant Based Eating Made Easy Podcast?

Welcome and Thank you for listening.  This podcast is mainly about the Coldwater Creek 50k/ 33.2 mile trail race in Anniston Alabama.   Good news: I finished Better news: I finished with a bang and before the cutoff.   It was close. If you have never stopped by Anniston Alabama, you should.  The people are wonderful and it is a beautiful little town with lots of trails for mountain biking, running and hiking.  There are also lots of rocks. I have been plant based nearly 25 years.  I eat fruits and vegetable as close to their natural state as possible most of the time.  I do not sell supplement and believe the best way to get nutrients is from the food.  We do need a B12 supplement. I have spoken about the importance of Vitamin D from the sun but the potential need for supplementation.  That said eating a nutrient complete plant based diet takes some focus, and recently I have discovered some deficiencies that could easily be missed.  My practice aims at helping individuals achieve optimal health and wellness.  In the next few weeks, I will be diving into some of those details in this podcast.  For my members, we will be doing an extensive, tailored dive into their nutritional needs and how best to achieve them.  If you would like to learn more about our practice, visit the website at  doctordulaney.com email: jami@doctordulaney.com Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Ebook: doctordulaney.com/.powerful-plates-ebook/?mc_cid=cc245876ac Water distillers: mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney discount code= cleanwaterforsophie

In this episode of Healthy Waves, Dr. Amanda Adkins—double-board certified in internal and lifestyle medicine with a certificate in plant-based nutrition—breaks down practical, evidence-based steps women can use to reduce risk of diabetes, hypertension and chronic inflammation. We cover high-impact foods (leafy greens, beans, whole-food plants), simple habit swaps for busy caregivers, how to avoid restriction cycles, and how lifestyle choices influence gene expression (epigenetics). If you want clear, scalable strategies that combine science and faith for long-term health, this episode delivers actionable guidance you can start this week. About the guest: Dr. Amanda Adkins is a lifestyle medicine physician and health strategist who helps women prevent — and sometimes reverse — chronic conditions through plant-forward nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. She blends clinical evidence with spiritual grounding to create sustainable, habit-based care. Key takeaways: Prioritize leafy greens daily: they supply nitrates and antioxidants that support vascular health and blood pressure control. Add beans and legumes for fiber to stabilise blood glucose — plant protein and fibre lower insulin resistance. Reduce saturated fat and refined carbs; most benefits come from adding whole plants rather than punitive restriction. When pressed for time, choose fresh, pre-made foods cautiously: check ingredients for added sugar, salt, and fats. Build habits by adding before subtracting — introduce plant foods first, then crowd out less healthy options to avoid restriction cycles. Measure health with function metrics (energy, BP, sleep) rather than only scale weight to prevent shame and perfectionism. Protein concerns on plant diets are typically overstated — most people meet needs via beans, lentils, nuts and whole grains. Epigenetics: genes are a deck of cards — lifestyle (diet, sleep, stress, movement) helps “play the hand” differently and can reduce disease risk. Self-care is not selfish: short, consistent investment in rest, food prep, and movement improves long-term capacity to care for others. Small, repeatable keystone habits + tracking two feel/function metrics yield sustainable improvement vs big, short-term overhauls.

George Howell may have sold his company to Starbucks — but he never sold out. A pioneer of the specialty coffee movement, George began his journey in 1975 with the founding of The Coffee Connection, a beloved Boston-based chain that helped redefine what American coffee could be. Nearly two decades later, Starbucks acquired the company – but George wasn't finished. In 2012, he re-entered the retail scene with George Howell Coffee, a brand rooted in his unwavering commitment to quality, transparency, and education. In this episode, George shares how his dual passions for art and exceptional coffee sparked a revolution in café culture, long before Starbucks became a household name. From modest beginnings to becoming a global advocate for farmers and flavor integrity, George has always played the long game, prioritizing substance over trend. He reveals the untold story behind the drink that evolved into the Frappuccino, why so many cafés miss the mark on customer experience, his unapologetic stance on flavored coffee, and why black coffee should be as revered as fine wine. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: George Howell, Founder, George Howell Coffee – After Ray makes an awkward admission, George opens up about the origins of his lifelong passion for coffee, tracing it back to his early days in the art world, where he represented Indigenous Mexican artists. This path eventually led him to open his first café in the 1970s. He clears up a common misconception – that he invented the Frappuccino – explaining instead how the beverage fit into Starbucks's acquisition of his company. Throughout the conversation, George emphasizes the core values that have guided his career: exceptional customer service, employee well-being, and direct, lasting relationships with coffee farmers, many of whom he still visits regularly, even in his 80s. He highlights one of the most significant innovations in his career: freezing beans to preserve their freshness, a method he believes has revolutionized coffee quality. George also discusses the recent redesign of George Howell Coffee's packaging, aimed at better educating customers about origin, processing, and flavor. For him, success isn't measured by profit, but by the ability to share knowledge and elevate understanding. The conversation ends on a light note, with Ray suggesting a new way to order a simple black coffee. Brands in this episode: George Howell Coffee, Starbucks

Do you wish you had more money to spend on groceries so you can buy more fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy better health? Well, what if I told you that you don't need MORE money …but you have to first learn to stretch your shopping dollars – in the store and at home. This way, you can get MORE with each dollar that you do spend.   Because here's the reality…there's a lot of food waste going around, and most households are losing significant amounts of produce AND money every week…from simply not knowing how to store produce, to not knowing how best to use what we do buy and bring back home.   Let's change that. I want to help you maximize your shopping dollars and enjoy more of the fruits and veggies you bring home. Let's see how to do that with one specific vegetable, often used in homecooked meals. And that's cauliflower.

They unpack the regulatory roadblocks and why the move might be a tipping point.

In a category flooded with fast-followers and flashy branding, Straightaway Cocktails is taking a radically different path: embracing the hard way. In this episode, founder and CEO Cy Cain reveals how the Portland-based brand is carving out a distinct space in the booming ready-to-drink category by prioritizing bar-quality cocktails crafted from in-house ingredients and held to uncompromising standards. Cy outlines a strategy rooted in deliberate, thoughtful growth rather than chasing viral trends. He dives into the brand's innovative approach to creative R&D, leveraging limited releases and direct-to-consumer exclusives to experiment boldly and gather insights that shape future core offerings.  He also highlights how investments in in-house production, B Corp certification and sustainability efforts, alongside strategic partnerships with Costco, Alaska Airlines and Shake Shack, demonstrate that a patient, craft-centric mindset and a strong brand identity can make a powerful impact in even the most crowded markets. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Cy Cain, Founder & CEO, Straightaway Cocktails – Just hours before Taste Radio's San Francisco meetup, Cy joins Ray Latif to share highlights from Straightaway's latest cocktail lineup, including the French 77, Pickle Tini, and Golden Negroni. He underscores the brand's North Star: unwavering product quality, rooted in a deep love of cocktail culture. Cy reflects on the evolution of the RTD category and credits Straightaway's success to its focus on excellence and deliberate, sustainable growth. Strategic partnerships with Alaska Airlines and Breeze Airways have boosted exposure, while support from regional retailers and Costco has added traction and credibility. Comparing innovation to Formula 1, Cy describes it as a proving ground for bold ideas. Straightaway's mission, he says, isn't shaped by exits or investors, but by craft, storytelling, and elevating cocktail experiences. From farm-to-glass sourcing to using local ingredients – like fir needles from near Cy's childhood home – the brand stays true to its values of authenticity, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Inspired by lifestyle brands like Patagonia and Shinola, Cy emphasizes values-driven partnerships, such as a test collaboration with Shake Shack. He also shares excitement over the brand's growing recognition in top spirits competitions, including a potential Triple Crown win. Brands in this episode: Straightaway Cocktails, Stumptown Coffee, Smith Tea, Jacobsen Salt Co.
