Mike “C-Roc” welcomes Daniel Yores a fitness coach from Toronto with a story of grit, growth, and redefining identity. Daniel opens up about his early years of battling recurring knee dislocations that plagued him from age 11 to 20, ultimately leading to a rare and intensive surgery performed by one of the only specialists in Ontario. He shares the emotional and physical challenges of being sidelined from sports and losing his sense of self, as well as the long and painful recovery process—one that included over three months of being unable to walk.

As someone who grew up in rural America (and is still there), I'm very familiar with the mindset that comes along with this way of life.

We can take simple steps toward breaking this stigma and start focusing on supporting our mental health and well-being and building resilient communities with thriving families.In this episode, I cover:The typical mindset that's often ingrained in us in rural AmericaWhat happens when we bottle up our emotions and ignore our mental well-beingThe collective resolution I want us to make in the new yearSimple ways for us to begin breaking the stigma together Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!

Key Moment: 21 minutes: “Something that people outside of Cancerland may not fully understand is the side effects from the toxic treatments, the side effects from multiple surgeries, the pain that some get fades, they heal, but for others, like moi, I really got the motherload of permanent damage, permanent side effects, effects that happen like a year, two years post cancer. And so I, as I'm talking to you right now, I am in pain. And I often have people say, ‘you don't look like you're in pain.' And I'm like, look, it's not Halloween yet. I don't want to scare you. If I looked how I truly, truly felt on the daily, you would think you're in a scary movie. And so, dealing with multiple types of pain, chronic pain, is something I never, ever thought would be part of my cancer experience."

Welcome to another episode of The Keto Vegan Podcast! I'm your host, Rachel, and today we have an incredibly inspiring guest, Kate Galli. Kate is not only a dedicated personal trainer but also a passionate vegan health coach. Her journey to veganism is both compelling and enlightening, and I'm thrilled to share her story with you. Kate's transition to veganism has been a transformative journey. Starting as a vegetarian at 16, she spent years gradually moving towards a fully vegan lifestyle. For the past eight and a half years, Kate has embraced veganism wholeheartedly. This journey was profoundly influenced by her mother and Kate's unwavering love for animals, which began when she was a typical little girl who adored animals but, paradoxically, also ate them. A pivotal moment for Kate was when a friend pointed out, "If I eat an animal, that animal needs to die!" This simple yet powerful statement sparked a deep reflection in her. Kate realized she had been misled by marketing propaganda, which portrayed a false narrative of happy farm animals. She recalls with shame how she once consumed up to 21 free-range organic egg whites a day, believing it was a humane choice. The turning point came when Kate watched the documentary "Cowspiracy." It was then she understood that if she was vegetarian for the animals, she had to be vegan for the animals. Despite her fears of losing the muscular physique she had sculpted over two decades, Kate chose to prioritize her integrity and the well-being of animals over her vanity. And spoiler alert—only good things happened! Throughout her journey, Kate's core emotional states of freedom, integrity, and passion have driven her. As a personal trainer, she emphasizes the importance of clarity in one's goals and the intense emotional connection to the "why" behind those goals. Kate's story is a testament to the power of aligning one's actions with their deepest values and the profound positive impact it can have. Join us as we dive deeper into Kate Galli's inspiring journey to veganism, her dedication to animal rights, and her passion for helping others achieve their health and fitness goals through a compassionate lifestyle. This is an episode you won't want to miss! Best Moments “I was that typical little girl that loved animals and ate animals” When Kate was 16 a friend said to her: “If I eat an animal that animal needs to die!” “I'd been lied to. I believed the marketing propaganda ‘nothing to see here, our cows are happy, our chickens are happy'. I bought free range organic eggs, I'm ashamed to say I ate up to 21 free range organic egg whites a day!” “The documentary was Cowspiracy, I had no choice! I realised if I was vegetarian for the animals I must be vegan for the animals.” I was fearful, I thought this body I'd sculpted over two decades … I thought I'm going to lose muscle, I'm going to gain fat, I'm going to get all weak. But it's about more than my vanity, so I became vegan. Spoiler it's only good stuff that happens” The personal trainer in me always goes back to getting really clear on what your goal is, and the why of your goal, and the huge emotional intensity attached to that ‘why'.

Kate Parker is a mother, wife, former NCAA D1 athlete, Ironman, TEDx speaker, professional photographer and New York Times bestselling author whose first book “Strong is the New Pretty” garnered support from the Spice Girls, David Beckham, Drew Barrymore, Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman and Emma Watson. Her work has been featured in several major magazines and her clients include REI, Verizon, Athleta and American Express. Growing up, she was known for being loud, driven and perfectionistic which might be associated with “being strong” but typically not “pretty.” Like many female athletes, as she became more competitive in her sport, she started emphasizing being skinnier. However, a coach helped her reframe her body image and in turn her internal view of strength and beauty. As a mother and photographer, she uses her critical eye to point out perception vs reality while capturing powerful emotions to help us realize that exuberance needs no apology. In her newest book, “Force of Nature” she shows us why “too much” is actually the right amount. @katetparker, katetparker.com

Paul's message to the Corinthians encourages them to live in a new way, embracing the cruciform life of Jesus.
