In the episode of the Plant Trainers Podcast, we're diving deep into relaxation techniques that can work wonders for your mind and body. We're all about keeping things easy-going yet highly effective. We'll be talking about 10 relaxation methods that we not only teach our clients but also swear by ourselves. These methods encompass ideas to engage all your senses and some you might not have thought of before. It's incredible how something as small and simple as these techniques can create a substantial impact. The magic happens when you're more relaxed. Not only will your mind and body thank you, but you can also expect better relationships, heightened productivity, improved athletic performance, a greater sense of self-love, and an overall boost in your quality of life. You don't have to try all 10 at once. In fact, we encourage you to pick just one or two that resonate with you, something that genuinely speaks to your soul. You see, building a routine and allowing these practices to become a part of your daily life takes time. It's a gradual process, and the impact of these techniques tends to accumulate over time. Don't be too quick to disregard any of them. Give yourself the space and the grace to explore what works best for you, and remember, you can always come back, listen again, and add another layer of relaxation to your journey. Your well-being is worth the time and effort, and we're here to guide you every step of the way. Reach out at  for more information and we will give you or a friend a free 30 min consultation.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk about doing the things you love the new year. If anything is clear today, it is that there is simply no more time for the things that don't fill your cup. Understanding your basic needs and real values is a must in life. Showing up for yourself to be who you are meant to be for others is key. We will take you through some tried and tested exercises and share a little bit about what we love to do and what we are leaving behind.  For those of you who are new here, I'm Shoshana Chaim, I am a health expert, redox educator, author, speaker and 8 year running host of this podcast. Right now I'm a leader in the redox education field, teaching other health practitioners and individuals how to address healing in the body, beyond nutrition, deep within the cell and mitochondria. We teach the body to communicate and heal on its own. I also teach those clients and health practitioners to build a business through the joy of healthing others, and I'm looking for 5 new partners before the end of January. Email us for more info.  I'm Adam Chaim and I continue to coach individuals to better health through a plant-based lifestyle and fitness. I am also a high school volleyball coach and teacher helping teenagers develop their skills to navigate life. In this episode we discuss:  Why you need to do what you love What do we each live and value? Actions: What were the 3 best things about 2022? The 3 most challenging moments? What are you most grateful for in 2022? 3 areas of your life do you wish were improved?  What do you truly value most?  Think about your goals, set 1-3 goals no more What can you let go of that is no longer serving you or these goals?

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, Shoshana explains three new ways we are improving our cell performance. Our family and our clients are getting amazing results using these FOOD-BASED drink packets to increase energy (or replace coffee), stimulate the mind, focus, and memory as well as regulate mood. The Energy served Shoshana well when she gave up coffee, the Mind is a great afternoon pick-me-up and amazing for jet lag and the Mood helps us sleep deeper and feel overall less stressed. We can go on and on with testimonial texts we get from clients.  Overall, people who are scared of how energy drinks will affect their bodies are having no jittery side effects or headaches, and even children with cognitive or behavioral issues are feeling better and communicating better with these products. We're happy to hop on the phone with you to make sure they are right for you. So email us at for a free consult or click on the link in the show notes for purchase information. We love bringing you clean, food-based products we trust to help improve your quality of life.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk about ways to create healthier more sustainable schools and give great tips on making school lunches. As you can imagine, Shoshana makes sure to have a voice in the decisions that are being made in their children's school. Everything from nutrition, fitness, mindfulness, and waste is important to us in our family, and we want our children having those values carried over into their school experiences from themselves and their friends. The tricky part is how to institute change without getting pushback before you even open the door; something she has done somewhat elegantly. Hopefully, by the end of this episode, Adam feels like he understands why Shoshana spends this time at the school instead of with the family.  Please share this episode with any value-driven parents who want to see a change in their children's schools. In this episode we discuss:  Schools committees  Why make the commitment  What vocabulary to use Make a list  How to approach topics Full inclusion School lunches Buying junk and fundraisers Special events The environment Charities 

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with our very own, Shoshana Chaim, all about powering your redox potential. We did do an episode a while back on redox with Aviva and Dr. Zilia Goreshnik. Since then Shoshana has been studying a lot with them and helping people who are both plant-based and not. In fact, some of you are included in that. She helped a plant-based nurse who was sos free and still having huge inflammation in her arm and back. She was able to sleep better, bike again, and get back to work because the inflammation went down in the elbow. our favourite listener experience is a wonderful mom who was told her daughter would have an autoimmune issue for the rest of her life with fevers over 103 every month. Over a year we watched those fevers get less severe and further apart until they were gone and have never returned. She also works with other health practitioners and now health advocates and train them to help others with this redox technology. She feels so blessed to be able to do this work. And We'd love to give any podcast listener a 20 min consult to see how redox may help you.  Shush works so hard and cares so much about her clients. It's wonderful hearing about all their stories. We both value plants in our lives and see what it does for others. But sometimes it's not enough like it wasn't for her only 4 years ago. For some people, like a lot of the people we love, they are not willing (yet) to go plant-based and they need help that is not a bandaid and gets down to healing at the cellular level. Many people like us add it to our routine to be as healthy as possible so they can have a better shot of avoiding things they see others around them getting. And it's amazing how athletes make less lactic acid, have better Vo2 max, work out faster, are stronger, and recover ON TOP OF what a plant-based diet does already. Adam ran over 300 kilometers in one month and Rich Roll used this during his Epic 5 and the Iron Cowboy, James Lawrence used this too.  We hope you enjoy this presentation Shoshana gave a few weeks ago and if you have any questions, interest, or want a free 20 min consult, please reach out at info@planttrainers.com or check out the links below. You will need guidance with these products are we assigned to help you when you set up an account with us.

Things to Consider About Meals While Traveling When there are dietary needs to think about and we leave the comfort of our own homes to hit the road, we need to keep a few things in mind with regards to meals so that our enjoyable vacay doesn't turn into stress. Here are a few things you can do to look ahead for any roadblocks (see what I did there?) that may come your way: Know where you are going- there is a difference in staying with someone at a home or if you'll be in a hotel when it comes to meals.Decide how much you have access too as far as preparing meals- you can bring easy things like bars and oatmeal packets, etc to keep you full.Figure out how much time you'll have to prepare food- if you'll be busy then you want to bring ready snacks to grab on the go so you don't have to stress.Research the area you are going to- find the grocery stores and restaurants so you can see what you will have access to when you are there. Can You Stay Plant-Based While You Travel? Absolutely! It depends on how much effort you want to put into it. You can be prepared before you go and have it run smoothly, or you can go on the fly and take whatever you can get. Remember that food doesn't have to be elaborate all the time. As long as you realize the way you eat at home won't necessarily be the same as you eat on the road. What to Bring With You You can bring things with you as you travel to make it easy! You can decided if you need a whole other piece of luggage or simply want to tuck things into a bag you already have. Here are a few ideas: Blender (like our trusty Vitamix) for making smoothies to get in veggies and fiber and keep you full.Air fryer to avoid using shared BBQ's, etcKnife or scissors for whole fruits (carried safely of course).Bake muffins and cookies before you go.Ready packed food like bars, tortilla roll ups, veggies, snack packs.Give kids their own bags with snacks (they can even make their own!). Tips For Eating Out When it comes to researching restaurants there are some great tips you can use: Join a vegan facebook group for the area you are going and ask questions for recommendations in the group.Do a google search for the area and the restaurants to see the reviews from others on what they ordered.Call the restaurants in advance to see what they can do to meet your dietary needs. What to Watch Out For While you are on the go and traveling to other areas, things can be different. This makes it important to be aware of what you are getting into so you can avoid any stress. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Molly Patrick of CleanFoodDirtyGirl.com encourages eating more plants without perfection paralysis; and Plant Trainers Podcast cohost Shoshana Chaim shares I Am a Peaceful Goldfish.

How can we help children deal with stress? Today's guest, Shoshana Chaim, shares the strategies from her new book, "I Am a Peaceful Goldfish."

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk about my new book, I Am A Peaceful Goldfish that hits bookstores EVERYWHERE TODAY! This is super exciting as we are normally helping others share about their books and 6 years later, Shoshana’s book is finally here. We are hoping to get to #1 best seller on Amazon TODAY, or this week, so if you are looking for a gift for a 0-7-year-old, have an upcoming baby shower, or are simply a collector of amazing books, please head to Amazon and get your copy now. We know some people are donating copies to their local libraries or elementary schools. I Am a Peaceful Goldfish teaches kids and families about playful breathing techniques that we can use to overcome our anxiety and feel calm and grounded. When we are overcome with emotions, our breath—and a bit of imagination—can bring us back to a peaceful place. In this simple story, two children learn how to settle their feelings with imaginative breathing techniques, pretending they are elephants, flowers, even dragons! This charming book teaches even the youngest readers fun ways to be mindful, relieve anxiety, and regain control over their bodies and actions—an essential and easy-to-learn life skill. Stay tuned to hear Dr. Dean Ornish’s endorsement of the book!

We are excited to have Shoshana Chaim of PlantTrainers back on the show today. BJ and I shared with mic with Shoshana and her husband Adam in early 2019, and we went deep right off the bat. An organic dive into their story brought to the surface important and tender topics like PTSD and mental wellness. So if you have not listened to that episode, it’s 148 and linked up in the show notes. It’s a compelling story that started with two seemingly healthy people that faced two devastating diagnoses that threatened to end Adam’s life before the age of forty. Doctors told them to cross their fingers, which for Shoshana meant, prepare for the worst. Pregnant with their second child at the time and entirely overwhelmed by the unknown of their future, Shoshana experienced a day-to-day trauma that led to perhaps the greatest battle of her life; to regain her mental health. Shoshana is a public speaker, podcast host of the PlantTrainers podcast, health and wellness guru, and author with a brand new book we will learn today. She is on a mission to heal people from the inside out and dedicates her time to spreading the messages of eating well, living well, and healing as individuals and families. We hope you enjoy the show! In this episode, we discuss: - Life challenges are meant to happen - Accepting the gift in challenging experiences - Guided meditation vs silent meditation - Living the demonstration - Living with integrity - The real meaning of the expression ‘Rule of Thumb’ - Calming your energy through mindfulness - A Peaceful Goldfish - New book available - Power of developing the tool to breath - Allowing more silliness & playfulness in life - Practicing power under control - There is no magic pill We recognize our Patreon community for their support.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-427 – Shoshana and Adam – Veggies Saved my Life!  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4427.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-427 of the RunRunLive Podcast.   Here we are at the center of a pandemic!  Most days I'd be sitting in my home office writing, but with the apocalypse in full swing I figure my time would be better spent … umm… sitting in my home office writing? I suppose I should make an effort to paint the context for you because we may need to look back on this episode, listen and think.     So, my future listeners, it is the day before the ides of March 2020.  We are in the grips of the corona virus.  This week they cancelled all major sports seasons, and postponed the Boston Marathon, for the first time in 124 years, until the fall.   Americans are all working from home as most businesses have closed.  There has been a run on toilet paper and bottled water for some reason.   Does it affect me?  I suppose we'll see.  I started working for a big company a couple months ago and that is looking like a fairly prescient move.  I was down in Dallas two weeks ago after we last spoke.  I was at a conference in Atlanta this week.  I was supposed to be out in Grand Rapids at a client next week but that got canceled.  I can work virtually, so it's not a game ender.  After we last spoke, I entered into the hard part of my training for Boston.  This week was going to be a monster, with a big miles and three killer workouts.  But, after they rescheduled the marathon I'm backing off and switching back to base-building.  Today we speak with Adam and Shoshana Chaim about how a vegan diet saved Adam's life.  I know we've covered this topic before, but I had a request to specifically explore how to manage a vegan diet while competing at a high level.  In section one I'm going to talk about sleep and the impact of not getting enough or getting too much. In section two, just because it felt right, I wrote an apocalypse story for you.  I love the apocalypse genre.  I don't know why. It seems like the ultimate escapism, I guess. Before my racing plans got changed I woke up to a fairly sever tempo workout in Atlanta Tuesday morning.   Again, with Boston 4 weeks away (at the time) this was the final push.  Coach gave me an 8 X 7 tempo work out.  So, warm up, run 7 minutes hard, 2 minute recover, repeat 8 times.  Ironically at my current pace and fitness that's almost perfectly a mile repeat. I knew I was going to be in Atlanta.  Unless you find a track, it is hard to find a good place to do mile repeats in Atlanta.  I was staying north of the city in Roswell because all the hotels were sold out down in the city where the conference was.    I am fairly familiar with this workout, and have run it in Atlanta before and I have a strategy.   While the roads around Atlanta are a nightmare for running on, the parking lots are good, especially early in the morning.  I zoomed in on Google maps around the hotel and found some beautiful giant parking lots less than a mile away.  It turns out, without knowing this, I had positioned myself across the street from the new Atlanta Braves stadium.  I rolled out of bed early and ran over to where I knew the parking lot was.  It was raining but a warm 50ish degrees. The sun wasn't up.  I had to cross the highway but this was ok because around the stadium the sidewalks and walkways are designed for stadium traffic and are 15 foot wide.  On the Google maps the parking lot looked flat, but in reality it was a bit of a saddle shape.  If I stuck to the outside it was about a 1/4 mile on each side with the center being the high spot in the saddle and maybe 50 feet of drop to the edges.  I hit the old lap button and got to it.  Holding a pretty good pace up and down the inclines getting to practice my form.  It was a struggle in the rain, in my jetlag, in the dark up and down the long lanes. I pushed hard and worked my form and settled into the aching discomfort of tempo. That's how you do it. This parking lot, as it turns out, was the marshalling area for the local construction worker crews.  As I ground out my repeats they loaded and unloaded into pickups and vans and trailers with their orange vests and hard hats.  I didn't pay them much attention, but it was a nice distraction from my suffering.  If we crossed paths I'd nod as I pushed by.  I wonder what they were thinking of this old guy pushing up and down the parking lot in the early morning rain.  I got to thinking about how those are the types of workouts that make you strong.  Those are the types of workouts that separate the normal from the exceptional.  I used the Google maps to find a trail head close to the hotel and followed it down to the Chattahoochee River the next day.   Legs were tired but I was grateful to find the river trail.  I know you all have worries today.  This is your opportunity to practice leadership.  Us old ones have been through this before.  The sun has always risen the day after one of these crises.  The world has yet to come to an end.  The things you have that matter, you still have, no one can take those from you.  This is your opportunity to lead with a positivity that looks calmly to the future, that brings hope, that inspires.  Be that leader today.  People are watching you.  Be the calming presence.  Be the positive spark.  Be the hope that they are looking for.

I'm Shoshana Chaim and, when I was pregnant with my second child, my husband developed a rare tumor on his kidney. Not long after, my son showed signs of severe eczema and I experienced PTSD that left me missing quality time with my kids for way too long. After deciding that medication and surgery to temporarily solve these problems wasn't an option, I found plant-based living and completely overhauled our lifestyle one day at a time. Now, as a Family Health and Wellness Coach, I work one-on-one with busy parents and families to alleviate the stress in life that's caused by poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, and chronic illness. With an emphasis on plant-based nutrition and action steps that are customized to each family's needs, I'm on a mission to heal people from the inside out, so that they can finally stop solely surviving and start thriving again. The Full Story When I met my husband, we were young gym rats thinking we ate healthy enough. But when I found out I was four weeks pregnant with my second child and that my husband, Adam, had a rare tumor on his kidney, everything changed. We were told that the chances of him dying before the age of 40 were quite high. After doctor visit upon doctor visit, the only solution we were given was to prepare for surgery and genetic testing.  We were told to cross our fingers and I thought I had to prepare for the worst. How was I going to raise one child, never mind two, on my own? How could I lose the love of my life? How was I going to bring a baby into the world and her father not be standing there? What did we do to deserve this? Were we not good enough or nice enough people? I feared the worst, but those fears coming true weren't an option for our family. Surgery wasn't an option – there had to be a better, less invasive way that wouldn't also result in the removal of his kidney. After a ton of research, Adam decided to change his diet. He realized that a plant-based diet allows the body to heal and restore, and found these incredible stories where people have cured cancer and reversed heart disease…all based on the food they were eating. Adam was sold immediately, but I, on the other hand, wasn't ready. I was a new mom, just learning how to cook and meal plan, and now my husband didn't want to eat meat or cheese and I didn't understand why. Because even though we just went through the trauma of Adam's diagnosis, I still thought it would never happen to me. I thought my kids would never be without me. I figured that if I just did everything else right, then I could still hold on to some of those foods that I loved. But when I experienced PTSD after Adam's diagnosis, I realized how much a 100% nutrient dense plant-based diet allows me to feel my very best. I saw the full connection between the way I ate and the way I felt. A lot of hard work, support from those I love, and my diet gave me the tools I needed to come of medication and feel the best I'd felt in years. All in all, it took me about six months to jump on board and adopt a fully plant-based diet and lifestyle that worked for me. I was comfortable with my grocery bills (that actually ended up lower!), I knew what and how to supplement the few nutrients I needed, and I knew what kind of meals I should cook for me and my family. In those 6 months, I realized that if we don't take care of ourselves first, then we can't take of anyone else later. That life is fragile and family is irreplaceable. I learned that although we cannot prevent every scary thing from happening to our families, we can prevent 80% of chronic diseases by simply changing our diet and lifestyle. After watching this plant-based lifestyle shrink Adam's tumor, clear our son's eczema, take a client off insulin, stabilize my PTSD, and do so much more, I'm now on a mission to heal families from the inside out. I want to keep as many children as possible from losing time with a parent due to illness, immobility, or worse. I want to prevent as many parents as possible from having to raise a child alone. And most of all, I want to allow our children to grow up without the same dietary diseases as previous generations. Too much time, money and effort is spent trying to fight off or reverse disease that we could have prevented. If you feel as if this is your last chance…If you've done paleo, and weight watchers, and all the diets you can think of…If you realize that we're not immortal and that our lifestyle affects the people closest to us… Then, welcome. You don't have to think about leaving your children behind anymore. I know firsthand that the after effects of illness create a ripple effect in your family. Financially, emotionally, physically – the way we eat and live have a greater effect than we can even imagine. Every single thing we put into our mouths has either a positive or negative consequence on not only our health but also the freedom to do what we please, and not only for ourselves but also for everyone who touches our lives. When you live a healthy lifestyle, with an emphasis on plant-based nutrition, your body is given a chance to heal and thrive. Through one-on-one coaching and a plant-based healthy lifestyle, it's possible to alleviate the stress in life caused by poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, and chronic illness. With an emphasis on plant-based nutrition and action steps that are customized to each individual's or family's needs, I'm on a mission to heal you from the inside out, so that you can finally stop solely surviving and start thriving again. I'd love to invite you to a complimentary 45 minute call to get to know you and hear about where you are in your health journey. On this call, you get clear on what you want to create for your or your family's health, your life and what's been holding you back from reaching your goals.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-427 – Shoshana and Adam – Veggies Saved my Life!  (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4427.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-427 of the RunRunLive Podcast.   Here we are at the center of a pandemic!  Most days I’d be sitting in my home office writing, but with the apocalypse in full swing I figure my time would be better spent … umm… sitting in my home office writing? I suppose I should make an effort to paint the context for you because we may need to look back on this episode, listen and think.     So, my future listeners, it is the day before the ides of March 2020.  We are in the grips of the corona virus.  This week they cancelled all major sports seasons, and postponed the Boston Marathon, for the first time in 124 years, until the fall.   Americans are all working from home as most businesses have closed.  There has been a run on toilet paper and bottled water for some reason.   Does it affect me?  I suppose we’ll see.  I started working for a big company a couple months ago and that is looking like a fairly prescient move.  I was down in Dallas two weeks ago after we last spoke.  I was at a conference in Atlanta this week.  I was supposed to be out in Grand Rapids at a client next week but that got canceled.  I can work virtually, so it’s not a game ender.  After we last spoke, I entered into the hard part of my training for Boston.  This week was going to be a monster, with a big miles and three killer workouts.  But, after they rescheduled the marathon I’m backing off and switching back to base-building.  Today we speak with Adam and Shoshana Chaim about how a vegan diet saved Adam’s life.  I know we’ve covered this topic before, but I had a request to specifically explore how to manage a vegan diet while competing at a high level.  In section one I’m going to talk about sleep and the impact of not getting enough or getting too much. In section two, just because it felt right, I wrote an apocalypse story for you.  I love the apocalypse genre.  I don’t know why. It seems like the ultimate escapism, I guess. Before my racing plans got changed I woke up to a fairly sever tempo workout in Atlanta Tuesday morning.   Again, with Boston 4 weeks away (at the time) this was the final push.  Coach gave me an 8 X 7 tempo work out.  So, warm up, run 7 minutes hard, 2 minute recover, repeat 8 times.  Ironically at my current pace and fitness that’s almost perfectly a mile repeat. I knew I was going to be in Atlanta.  Unless you find a track, it is hard to find a good place to do mile repeats in Atlanta.  I was staying north of the city in Roswell because all the hotels were sold out down in the city where the conference was.    I am fairly familiar with this workout, and have run it in Atlanta before and I have a strategy.   While the roads around Atlanta are a nightmare for running on, the parking lots are good, especially early in the morning.  I zoomed in on Google maps around the hotel and found some beautiful giant parking lots less than a mile away.  It turns out, without knowing this, I had positioned myself across the street from the new Atlanta Braves stadium.  I rolled out of bed early and ran over to where I knew the parking lot was.  It was raining but a warm 50ish degrees. The sun wasn’t up.  I had to cross the highway but this was ok because around the stadium the sidewalks and walkways are designed for stadium traffic and are 15 foot wide.  On the Google maps the parking lot looked flat, but in reality it was a bit of a saddle shape.  If I stuck to the outside it was about a 1/4 mile on each side with the center being the high spot in the saddle and maybe 50 feet of drop to the edges.  I hit the old lap button and got to it.  Holding a pretty good pace up and down the inclines getting to practice my form.  It was a struggle in the rain, in my jetlag, in the dark up and down the long lanes. I pushed hard and worked my form and settled into the aching discomfort of tempo. That’s how you do it. This parking lot, as it turns out, was the marshalling area for the local construction worker crews.  As I ground out my repeats they loaded and unloaded into pickups and vans and trailers with their orange vests and hard hats.  I didn’t pay them much attention, but it was a nice distraction from my suffering.  If we crossed paths I’d nod as I pushed by.  I wonder what they were thinking of this old guy pushing up and down the parking lot in the early morning rain.  I got to thinking about how those are the types of workouts that make you strong.  Those are the types of workouts that separate the normal from the exceptional.  I used the Google maps to find a trail head close to the hotel and followed it down to the Chattahoochee River the next day.   Legs were tired but I was grateful to find the river trail.  I know you all have worries today.  This is your opportunity to practice leadership.  Us old ones have been through this before.  The sun has always risen the day after one of these crises.  The world has yet to come to an end.  The things you have that matter, you still have, no one can take those from you.  This is your opportunity to lead with a positivity that looks calmly to the future, that brings hope, that inspires.  Be that leader today.  People are watching you.  Be the calming presence.  Be the positive spark.  Be the hope that they are looking for.

I’m Shoshana Chaim and, when I was pregnant with my second child, my husband developed a rare tumor on his kidney. Not long after, my son showed signs of severe eczema and I experienced PTSD that left me missing quality time with my kids for way too long. After deciding that medication and surgery to temporarily solve these problems wasn’t an option, I found plant-based living and completely overhauled our lifestyle one day at a time. Now, as a Family Health and Wellness Coach, I work one-on-one with busy parents and families to alleviate the stress in life that’s caused by poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle, and chronic illness. With an emphasis on plant-based nutrition and action steps that are customized to each family’s needs, I’m on a mission to heal people from the inside out, so that they can finally stop solely surviving and start thriving again. The Full Story When I met my husband, we were young gym rats thinking we ate healthy enough. But when I found out I was four weeks pregnant with my second child and that my husband, Adam, had a rare tumor on his kidney, everything changed. We were told that the chances of him dying before the age of 40 were quite high. After doctor visit upon doctor visit, the only solution we were given was to prepare for surgery and genetic testing.  We were told to cross our fingers and I thought I had to prepare for the worst. How was I going to raise one child, never mind two, on my own? How could I lose the love of my life? How was I going to bring a baby into the world and her father not be standing there? What did we do to deserve this? Were we not good enough or nice enough people? I feared the worst, but those fears coming true weren’t an option for our family. Surgery wasn’t an option – there had to be a better, less invasive way that wouldn’t also result in the removal of his kidney. After a ton of research, Adam decided to change his diet. He realized that a plant-based diet allows the body to heal and restore, and found these incredible stories where people have cured cancer and reversed heart disease…all based on the food they were eating. Adam was sold immediately, but I, on the other hand, wasn’t ready. I was a new mom, just learning how to cook and meal plan, and now my husband didn’t want to eat meat or cheese and I didn’t understand why. Because even though we just went through the trauma of Adam’s diagnosis, I still thought it would never happen to me. I thought my kids would never be without me. I figured that if I just did everything else right, then I could still hold on to some of those foods that I loved. But when I experienced PTSD after Adam’s diagnosis, I realized how much a 100% nutrient dense plant-based diet allows me to feel my very best.

Episode 105 with Plant Trainers Podcast hosts Adam and Shoshana Chaim sharing their story of how Adam was diagnosed with a rare tumour in his kidney and advised he wouldn't live past the age of 40, but with the support of his wife Shoshana and the help of a plant-based diet, this couple has proven the doctors wrong. A story not to be missed. xx

On this week's What the Hack Podcast we are talking about plant-based nutrition with Shoshana Chaim of Plant Trainers 

It is within the contrast of life that we are given great opportunity to heal but as we navigate the darkness it can be difficult to see these gifts of growth. None of us know what our lives have in store for us and that is why we must revere every moment. For Adam Chaim, it was his health that changed and it started with a normal afternoon of watching football. Adam was in his mid-30s, healthy, fit and eating "clean". Shoshanah was pregnant with their second child and certainly not expecting the turn her life was about to take. Pain shot across Adam's chest that afternoon and it was just peculiar enough to warrant a visit to the doctor. It started with the detection of a tumor on his kidney and from there heart disease and life expectancy talks. With grim outlooks, they were both overcome with worry about their future as they faced Adam's mortality. This is a story about healing; as a family, a couple and individually. Adam and Shoshanah have been through all the layers of a life-altering experience. For Shoshanah, some of the battle wounds still feel fresh. Adam's return to health was on the rise while Shoshanah dealt with deep levels of darkness and desperation. She opens up so generously about the PTSD that she has experienced since the life of her husband was threatened. This is a story of love and a mission to prevent others from having to experience what they did in the prime of their lives. Through their business and podcast, PlantTrainers, Adam and Shoshanah are dedicated to spreading the message of eating well, living well and healing as individuals and families. They are a great resource for families looking to transition their household to plant-based as they have lived through transitioning their young children from picky palettes to plants. These guys are a wealth of information and will help you keep your finger on the pulse of high-quality living. Thank you for tuning in and supporting the show.

Finally a JOTB podcast episode for all you vegan and veg-curious parents! Yes, this week we're talking all things children and families with vegan mom extraordinaire Shoshana Chaim! If you're a hardcore podcast junkie, you might already know this vegan babe via her own podcast "The Plant Trainers" which she co-hosts alongside her husband Adam. Yes, Shoshana is joining us Shorkey sisters for an exclusive interview where we discuss everything from her own slow transition from meat eater to vegan to how she got her young kids on board and of course, some of her fave, kid-approved, healthy plant-based snacks and meals. A must-listen for any parent feeling scared or discouraged at the thought of transitioning their family to veganism. It can be done, folks!

Shoshana Chaim was expecting their first child when husband Adam was diagnosed with a large kidney tumor and badly blocked arteries. Adding a whole-food plant-based diet to his already active life reversed his maladies, and now both Shoshana and Adam have a healthy mission. Show notes.

On this show I'm joined by Adam and Shoshana Chaim from the Plant Trainers podcast who actually interview me on this edition of Exploring Mind and Body Drew's passion for baseball led him to research about nutrition and workouts to help him stay on the field longer and move up the ranks from College to the professional level. He started experimenting with his own body and tested which food made him quicker, stronger and what foods would even help him heal quicker. He eventually discovered that plant-based nutrition can make a big difference in his performance as an athlete. He became stronger, healthier and even slept better. He started to have more mental clarity than ever.
