After a long break, The Vegan Gym Podcast is officially back.

We share how we met through The Vegan Gym community, how our relationship developed, what it was like planning a fully vegan wedding, and why restarting the podcast now feels right.We also talk honestly about what it looks like to lose momentum with your fitness, how I rebuilt a daily movement habit, and why consistency matters more than perfection. This episode sets the stage for the next chapter of the podcast and what you can expect moving forward.If you have followed The Vegan Gym for a while, this episode will give you more context behind the scenes. And if you are new here, welcome. We are glad you are here.

“Connection to the land and knowing the plants that surround you and knowing what food your ancestor ate and trying to go back there is probably one of the most important things that we can do as resistance today.” - Aya Gazawi FaourIn For The Wild's series in collaboration with Olive Oddessey, we hear from their co-founder, Aya Gazawi Faour, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this concluding episode, Aya shares about both the symbols and material history of watermelon and prickly pear in Palestine, emphasizing the history of the plants as integral to their current uses. From reminders of resilience and patience to subtle efforts of resistance, plants can be helpful teachers on our paths towards liberation, and this episode leaves us with the sweet promise of freedom and liberation to come.  Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey. Every gesture of connection helps nourish a culture, a landscape, and a people rooted in resilience.Olive Odyssey brings together farmers from across Palestine with a shared purpose: to tell the story of the Palestinian people through the food they produce. Their mission is simple yet powerful — each bottle reflects a deep connection to the land and a commitment to sustainable, community-centered practices.

In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Sarah Ballantyne for one of the most grounded, science-driven conversations I've had about nutrition in a long time.   We talk about why diet culture keeps swinging between extremes, how nutrient density gets lost in food ideology, and what actually matters when it comes to protein, plants, gut health, and long-term health outcomes. Sarah breaks down why restrictive frameworks often backfire, how to evaluate food quality without fear, and what the research really says, not what performs best on social media.   This conversation is for anyone who wants to eat in a way that supports performance, longevity, and metabolic health without turning food into a moral identity.   We cover: Why nutrient density matters more than diet labels The dangers of nutrition dogma and "one right way" thinking Protein needs, plant foods, and dietary diversity Gut health, fiber, and microbial resilience How to evaluate nutrition advice critically Moving from restriction to sufficiency   Dr. Sarah's Instagram   Nutrivore 90 Challenge   For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.

Oh the weather outside is frightful but there's still plenty of wonder to be found out there. James Armitage, editor of The Plant Review, joins Gareth Richards to reflect on the quiet beauty of the resilient plants that carry us through the winter months, and on the quiet beauty of seeing familiar plants anew.We begin with writer and plantsman Phil Clayton, who tells the extraordinary story of the Wollemi pine, tracing its journey from near-extinction to gardens around the world. James then sits down with Tom Christian to discuss the remarkable diversity of the ivy family, a group of plants rich in variety and resilience, whose beauty and horticultural value are often underestimated. Finally, we meet South Korean artist Seong Weon Ahn, whose delicate paintings capture plants not only with botanical precision, but with a deep sense of presence and mood.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome to The Money Pit! This week, we're delving into more crucial home maintenance topics for the season and helping you fix up your home sweet home as we prepare for the end-of-year happy holidays! - Indoor Air Quality: We share easy and affordable ways to significantly improve your indoor air quality, even when windows stay shut during the winter. A key step is checking your HVAC filter, which captures dust and allergens without overworking your system. - Warming Up Chilly Spaces: We tackle how to warm up those stubborn, chilly spots in your home without replacing your heating system. Simple weekend projects like applying removable rope caulk or window insulation films to seal drafts and installing foam gaskets behind electrical outlets and switch plates on exterior walls can make a big difference. - Kitchen Organization: With the holidays approaching fast, the kitchen is about to become your busiest room, so we offer quick kitchen organizing tricks to make cooking and cleanup easier - Hazardous Holiday Plants: We conclude with Leslie's Last Word on holiday plant safety, noting that many popular festive plants are far more toxic than commonly thought. Plants like holly, mistletoe, amaryllis, and paper whites can be dangerous if ingested by children or pets, making it crucial to keep them out of reach.   Q & A: - Scott in Illinois called with a question about his crumbling 13-year-old aggregate driveway. We advise that driveway replacement, possibly with a tough concrete surface that has adequate traction for the pitch and the snowy Illinois climate, would be a better option than repeatedly trying to repair the rough aggregate, which has likely reached the end of its lifespan. - Annette in Mississippi asked what causes condensation to appear on the surface of her ceramic kitchen floor tiles. We explain that this is caused by the warm, humid air inside her home striking the cold floor surface, and suggest she install a whole-home dehumidifier to remove the moisture. - Mary from Alaska wanted advice on switching from her traditional electric water heaters to a tankless system. Leslie notes that electric tankless technology is less efficient than gas-based systems, but Mary could upgrade to a high-efficiency heat pump water heater. - Pete in Pennsylvania had a question about an area of vinyl siding that felt floppy after he repaired a piece that had blown off. We reassure him that vinyl siding is meant to be put on loosely to allow for expansion and contraction during temperature changes, but if the pieces are disconnected, he can use a "zip tool" to reconnect the siding.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Chris Wark, founder of Chris Beat Cancer, is a long-term cancer survivor and author. In this episode, he sits down with Ben Moss and Ralph W. Moss, PhD to share the story that launched his work. Chris was diagnosed with colon cancer as a young man and remembers the shock, fear, and urgency that follow a life-changing diagnosis. In the middle of that crisis, he says he turned to God for help. What followed was a new direction with faith as an anchor, forgiveness as a daily practice, and a plant-based way of eating as the foundation for rebuilding his health. That private turning point became a public mission. Chris Beat Cancer grew out of a desire to help others take an active role in their healing. Today, he shares a straightforward message: faith matters, forgiveness matters, and daily habits matter. Food is not a side issue. It is a key part of the strategy.

In this episode of Flowers & Folklore, we step into the shadowy world of the hellebore: a flower with rich history and many contradictions - the light and the dark. To fully explore this little flower's backstory we fall down more than one rabbit hole, but all of them bring us to the same conclusion - you'll never look at The Christmas Rose the same way again. We explore how this moody bloom has been linked to Christianity and witchcraft in equal measure, how it was used to create some surprising “magical powers” and its role in some juicy ancient goss and also there's some goats eating things they absolutely shouldn't.Books, Art & Poetry* The Language of Flowers by Odessa Begay* “How to do the flowers” by Constance Spry* Floriography by Jessica Roux* Discovering the Folklore of Plants by Margaret Baker* Encyclopædia of Superstitions, Folklore, and the Occult Sciences of the World by Cora Linn Daniels* The Complete Language of Flowers by S.

“If you don't forage for Za'atar, how are you going to feel connected to the land? How are you going to understand what your ancestors have been doing for thousands of years here?” - Aya Gazawi FaourIn For The Wild's series in collaboration with Olive Odyssey, we hear from Aya Gazawi Faour, their co-founder, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this episode, Aya shares about the herb Za'atar and its role in Palestinian kitchens. Aya details the ban placed on foraging Za'atar by Israel and its selective enforcement against Palestinians. Despite encroachments on their land and these restrictive practices, Aya emphasizes connection to the land down to the very flavor of Palestinian food and the scent of Palestinian kitchens. Colonizing forces try to separate people and the land, but as Aya speaks, it is clear that this separation is neither sustainable nor wholly possible. Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey. Every gesture of connection helps nourish a culture, a landscape, and a people rooted in resilience.Olive Odyssey brings together farmers from across Palestine with a shared purpose: to tell the story of the Palestinian people through olive oil.

Dr. Simon Gilroy of UW–Madison joins Debra Fitzgerald to reveal the fast, unseen sensory lives of plants – how they detect danger, send signals through their entire bodies within seconds, and respond intelligently without anything resembling a brain. Gilroy also takes us into orbit, where his NASA-partnered research explores how plants behave in space. If you've ever wondered whether your plants are, in their own way, listening – or if they feel pain – this conversation will change how you see the green world around you.

We had to run it back!JP sits back down with Nelson Leslie of Poetry of Plants for a Part 2 conversation, because there was still plenty more to dig into. Since our first episode, Nelson stepped into a new role as CEO of a New Jersey cultivation operation, opening a fresh chapter in his journey and expanding his footprint on the East Coast.In this episode, we talk about what that move looks like in real time — building in a new market, adapting to different regulations, and carrying experience forward without losing your identity. We also get back into the heart of Poetry of Plants: pheno hunting, genetics, patience, and paying attention to what the plant is telling you.Nelson breaks down what he's currently hunting, what's standing out to him right now, and why slowing down still matters in an industry that's constantly chasing speed. We also look back at earlier chapters of his path and get into his honest perspective on the hemp industry — where it's at, where it's headed, and how it overlaps with cannabis as a whole.This episode keeps it real — no hype, no shortcuts. Just honest conversation about growth, genetics, and moving through the industry with intention. A proper continuation of the journey, straight from the garden.⸻

Anitra: 54 plays of 28 unique games. H-index: 4 (Chit Chat, Trio, INK, Leaders, Odin) – and Andrew is the most played-with person by a huge margin! Andrew: 40 plays of 18 unique games. H-index 4 (Chit Chat, Leaders, Odin, Trio). 35 games together with Anitra! Pretty much everything was 2 players or 5 players. Check out our recent reviews for INK and Odin.LeadersJungo (check out our review!)Logic & LoreS’mores Galore Roast & WriteFor Sale 0:10:40 The Family Gamers Community Welcome to our newest community members on Facebook! In these darkest days of the year, let’s share some light with each other. Stop in and say hello. #Backtalk We asked what you like to do with your family that ISN’T boardgames. A few of you answered on the #backtalk channel on the Discord and in our Facebook community. 0:19:00 Video Games with Engaged Family Gaming Stephen Duetzmann helps us with the best video games to give this year, via the Engaged Family Gaming holiday list. But first we talk about videogames we’ve been playing: Dogpile (on Steam)Metroid Prime 4Dredge (more info)Hollow Knight: Silksong (which Andrew just finished – more info) 0:36:00 Consoles PS5 or Xbox Series X – They are very expensive and not focused on family-friendly titles. Not recommended unless you really want it for games you can’t get elsewhere. 0:37:15 Multi-platform Games Civilization VII – the rough edges have been sanded off. Pick a leader, but jump to different civilizations in each age. Plays pretty well on any console and on PC, but if you have a Switch 2, buy it for that system, so you can use the mouse controller. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown – turn based tactical game that still forces you to move forward like a typical side-scrolling brawler. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – cozy “farm and town” game with engine-building. Has a week cycle as well as a day cycle. Sonic Racing: Crossworlds – good if you don’t have Mario Kart. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted 0:45:00 Playstation Exclusives “Playstation didn’t put out anything that didn’t involve mass-murder.” Ghost of Yotei – only for grownups, but gorgeous. nothing else really new, but Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII, and Spider-man 2 are still great choices. 0:46:50 Xbox Exclusives Also not much new that isn’t “headshot-central”. But Star Wars Outlaws is updated and even better than it was last year. 0:47:45 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 Both consoles are good choices: Switch 2 is very cool. Original Switch is the value choice, and those games will still work if you decide to upgrade later to the Switch 2. Mario Kart World Donkey Kong Bananza Also recommended: Metroid Prime 4 – if you liked Metroid Primeand Kirby Air Riders “If you get a Switch 2, don’t limit yourself to just Switch 2 games” – get older original Switch games, too. A lot of them have been updated for the better graphics of the Switch 2, and they’ll be great! 0:53:00 Online Play and Online Sales You need to do the math and decide if these are worth it for your family. Good alternative to buying a single game if you don’t know what game your recipient would want. Nintendo Switch Online – $80 for up to 8 users (don’t all have to be in the same location), even cheaper if you only need one user. This is absolutely necessary to play online AND gives you access to a bunch of older games. XBox Game Pass – probably not worth it JUST for kids. Worth it for Andrew & Anitra, where we have many people all taking advantage. PS Plus – again, needed for online play. Minimum $80/year for the Essentials plan. As always: If you're buying a console for a holiday present, do NOT leave it in the box! Don't forget to set it up before Christmas! (Plug in, connect to the internet, download updates, install a game or two. You might need to update the firmware on the controller.) It's a much more effective surprise if it's ready to play on Christmas morning. And don’t forget about free to play games like Fortnite or Disney Speed Storm! Those are good to add ahead of time so they can play right away. And don't forget about The Family Gamers holiday gift guide, too!

Do you like multiplayer games because you’re a board gamer, and so you want to play with other people (locally or online)? Or do you have video games as your solo play and board games as your social play? Do you prefer puzzles, or action? If you want to name a particular game that is your favorite, feel free!

Plant conservation comes in many forms. Today we explore a plant conservation pipeline that starts with propagation and continues through to reintroducing rare plants back into the wild. Conservation Collections Manager for the Desert Botanical Gardens Steve Blackwell takes us behind the scenes of the Garden's living collection, where rare, threatened, and endangered species are collected, propagated, and carefully curated for both research and recovery efforts.

If you've ever felt like you need a specific diet, program, supplement, or piece of equipment to get results, this episode is for you.In today's Red Delta Project live Q&A, I break down one of the biggest “progress traps” in fitness: dependence. The more you rely on external systems, validation, products, or ideologies, the less freedom and control you actually have… and the more likely you are to stay stuck in the fitness rat race.Then we roll straight into Q&A on elbow tendonitis from high-volume pullups, building muscle at calorie maintenance, how tempo and pauses affect hypertrophy, sissy squats, shoulder pain workarounds, autophagy hype, TRT expectations, chronic injury strategy, and more.

“The moment people are disconnected from their land and from the plants around them, it's easier to control them because they don't feel the spiritual connection to the land.”  —Aya Gazawi Faour, Olive Odyssey Co-FounderIn For The Wild's new series in collaboration with Olive Odyssey, we hear from their co-founder, Aya Gazawi Faour, who shares about plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring lifeways. In this opening episode, Aya shares how olive trees shape Palestinian life through everyday routines and long-held traditions. Families structure their seasons around trips to the groves and the olive press, gathering to harvest, share meals, and pass down knowledge. Even in dense urban areas, many keep a single olive tree on a crowded balcony as a living reminder of home. Olives are rooted in memory, community, and resilience and remain deeply defining across the region. This powerful aspect of culture goes far beyond the material. It is a sacred connection to the land and its abundance, a means of making community both with neighbors and with the world, and a crucial reminder of resistance and resilience.       Let this conversation be an invitation to look more closely at the lands and living beings of Palestine. If Aya's stories moved you, take the next step: learn from the farmers and stewards keeping these lifeways alive. Explore the work of Palestinian growers, deepen your understanding of their traditions, and support their harvests through Olive Odyssey. Every gesture of connection helps nourish a culture, a landscape, and a people rooted in resilience.Olive Odyssey brings together farmers from across Palestine with a shared purpose: to tell the story of the Palestinian people through olive oil. Their mission is simple yet powerful — each bottle reflects a deep connection to the land and a commitment to sustainable, community-centered practices. To learn more about the farmers, their methods, and to source olive oil and recipes, visit https://oliveodyssey.com.Plants Are Political is based on Olive Odyssey's series by the same name.Learn more at https://www.forthewild.worldCreditsMusic for this episode was composed by Doe Paoro from her album “Living Through Collapse.” For The Wild is created by Ayana Young, Erica, Ekrem, Julia Jackson, and Victoria Pham. Support the show
