I loved speaking with this week's guest because I've been following her on Instagram for quite some time now. In this episode I catch up with Nichole Dandrea-Russert. You may know her better by her online persona through Instagram @purley__planted. Nichole is a dietician and nutritionist that specializes in plant-based nutrition. She's been plant-based herself for about a decade and has seen the positive impact that it can have on a person's body.Since starting this podcast back in 2020 I've spoken with many people who discuss the good things that come from eating a plant-based diet. I've definitely worked more plants into my diet in the last few years and I've given up things like dairy in the process. It's amazing what some simple diet changes can do to your overall health.In this conversation we primarily discuss her new book titled 'The Vegan Athlete's Nutrition Handbook: The Essential Guide For Plant-Based Performance.' We also discuss our mutual admiration for Dotsie Bausch, the death threats I received when I told people about the negatives of dairy, how important magnesium is and other things. I hope you enjoy our conversation and that you check out her book!

Welcome to Episode of 71 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring pro-runner, coach, and plant-based athlete, Sage Canaday. Sage has been running for over 20 years, and is known for his “any surface any distance” motto. He started out his professional career on the roads, and is a 2-time US Olympic Trials qualifier in the Marathon and a top 20 overall finisher at both the Boston and Chicago Marathons. In 2012, he pivoted to mountain ultra trail running, with many wins and podiums in the years that followed.Sage was raised as a lacto-ovo vegetarian. He experimented with adding meat, poultry and fish to his diet at various points throughout his life, but he found that this “foreign cuisine”  didn't appeal to his tastebuds or seem to offer any noticeable performance benefits in his N=1 experiment. So he concluded that it wasn't for him, and ultimately decided to became a vegan instead. We discuss what led him to take this next step, and how he has fueled his long and diverse running career while following a vegetarian/vegan diet. You'll hear him talk about a typical day of eating, his go-to performance nutrition strategies,  how all of this has evolved over his 20+ years of running, and much more.And lastly, because I always like to put things in context, we recorded this interview in early June. He's had a busy summer of training, and will be running TDS by UTMB on Aug 28th. We hope you have an amazing time in Chamonix, Sage!Links & Resources:Sage's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Vo2maxProductionsSage's coaching business: https://higherrunning.com/Follow Sage on Instagram, Facebook, and TwitterAnnouncements:Have nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

Today's guest was on Episode 43, and we're so happy he's on again to talk about his upcoming book and new documentary! From the rough-and-tumble streets of Ferguson, Missouri, to the tropical shores of Miami, Florida, Vegan Badass John Lewis has an inspiring story. Growing up on a diet practically devoid of fresh fruits and vegetables, and weighing in at over 300 pounds when he was just thirteen, John decided to make a change. He immersed himself in basketball and football excellence, changed his diet and his life.  Flash-forward to today and he's a renowned fitness expert, speaker, author, and director/producer of the documentary They're Trying to Kill Us. John is also on the front lines of social justice – sharing his passion, infectious energy, and belief in the healing powers of plants to change the world. “We don't even call them food deserts anymore. We call them nutrition deserts because there is food in these areas, it's just there's no nutrition in these areas. So the food that they're getting is not the most nutritious. I mean, you can find a bodega somewhere, you can find a corner store, you can find a liquor store with snacks in it. So there's food there, but there's no nutrition there. And that's where we're having all these problems because the options aren't available.” - John Lewis What we discuss in this episode: John's new book His suggestions for anyone considering making a switch to a vegan diet How civil rights and human health are connected How he keeps his fitness on track What he eats in a day His favorite recipes His new documentary How impoverished communities are affected by factory farming Resources: Website: Bad Ass Vegan New book: Badass Vegan: Fuel Your Body, Ph*ck the System, and Live Your Life Right Documentary: They're Trying to Kill Us Instagram: J O H N • L E W I S • M.B.A (@badassvegan) • Instagram photos and videos Twitter: Bad Ass Vegan (@BADASSVEGAN) / Twitter Facebook: John Lewis | Facebook Vegan Street Fair: Vegan Street Fair Los Angeles 2023 - Premium Passes & Perks Dairy-Free Swaps Guide: Easy Anti-Inflammatory Meals, Recipes, and Tips https://switch4good.org/dairy-free-swaps-guide SUPPORT SWITCH4GOOD https://switch4good.org/support-us/ ★☆★ JOIN OUR PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP ★☆★  https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastchat ★☆★ SWITCH4GOOD WEBSITE ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/ ★☆★ ONLINE STORE ★☆★ https://shop.switch4good.org/shop/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM ★☆★ https://www.instagram.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ LIKE US ON FACEBOOK ★☆★ https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/ ★☆★ FOLLOW US ON TWITTER ★☆★ https://mobile.twitter.com/Switch4GoodNFT ★☆★ DOWNLOAD THE ABILLION APP ★☆★ https://app.abillion.com/users/switch4good

Follow the path of just about every vegan athlete and they all have a few things in common. But for Matt and Doug, some of those "typical" vegan athlete habits or trends have fallen off. In today's episode, they share what they've stopped doing as vegan athletes, and why. Can you relate?

Vegan athletes love to talk about how quickly they recover, and non-vegan athletes are quick to point out vegans who are constantly injured. Can both be true? In today's episode, Matt and Doug talk about eating a plant-based diet for recovery and injury prevention, plus they answer a listener's question about her upcoming Ragnar race.

Fiona Oakes is renowned as a British endurance runner and vegan athlete. She is the fastest woman in the world to run a marathon on all seven continents and the north pole. She has competed in over 100 marathons and set five marathon course records around the globe, including the Antarctic Ice Marathon. Fiona has been vegan since the age of six. She participates in endurance sports to demonstrate that her diet is not prohibitive to performance and to raise awareness of her Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary, which she founded in 1996. At her sanctuary, she cares night and day for 500 rescued animals to which she has devoted her life. She has some really important things to say about ‘modern veganism' and was a sage reminder of the fact that, like all things, a choice to do better for others is often very simple. It's only that, as humans, we make it complicated.  Thank you to Fiona for sharing her incredible life story with us all this week. I hope you will enjoy hearing from her as much as I did.  *** If you have a question or feedback on the series send me a message on Instagram (@deedoubleespresso) or email me at doublespressowithdee@gmail.com I would love to hear from you!   Points of discussion: (00:00) Introduction (02:44) Fiona reflects on though childhood  (05:13) What changed to get you running?

“Don't forget to look around and take it all in. Enjoy the moment. Breathe the fresh air, look at the mountains, and appreciate that you're healthy enough to be out there doing it.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with Coach Tom Fleck. Coach Fleck is a Boston-based triathlete, triathlete coach, and Founder of Here & Now Fitness. We talk briefly about Tom's races since we last spoke (Episode 150) and then I ask every question I have about racing as I set out to take on Ironman Timberman 70.3 on August 22nd. We talk about tactics for the swim, how to transition from the swim to the bike, how to go through aid stations while biking, why you want to have steady output on the bike, how much and when to consume nutrition, how to slowly build on the run, why managing my heart rate is the most important aspect of racing, and Coach Tom's predictions on my time for Ironman Timberman 70.3.Show NotesEpisode 150 With Coach TomHere & Now Fitness WebsiteIronman Timberman 70.3

“Follow your heart. Do what makes you happy. Your own opinion is what you should follow, not any one else's opinion.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the force that is Nienke van Overveld. Nienke is a CrossFit athlete and holds the crown of the Fittest Woman of the Netherlands. She also finished 14th in the last CrossFit Games. We talk about Nienke's background as a gymnast, how she first got involved in CrossFit, why when she does something she is all in, why she moved to Thailand in her early twenties, how she's gone from just starting to becoming the Fittest Woman of the Netherlands in just 5 years, the power of consistency and mindfulness, why she started eating plant-based, how her diet has impacted her health and performance as an athlete, all about her new book What Nienke Eats, how she prepares mentally for competition, her daily habits to keep her high performing, how to find your purpose, and why no one else's opinion matters.Show NotesWhat Nienke Eats BookNienke's WebsiteNienke's Instagram

“Life is always going to happen, you're always going to hit bumps in the road that knock you off your path. You have to continue to consistently honor yourself, be of service, act with compassion, and put good food in your body.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down  with the inspirational Tom Fleck. Tom is a Boston-based triathlete, triathlon coach and Founder of Here & Now Fitness. We talk about the past year of Tom training me for Ironman, how my mindset has completely changed over the past year, why having children sparked Tom to change his lifestyle, Tom's journey from being 300+ pounds to now being on the verge of qualifying for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii and competing against the fittest in the world, the incomparable power of consistency, the role a plant-based diet has played in his transformation, the power of operating from a place of compassion, how Tom's role in the addiction recovery community has helped him be a better coach, and why it truly is about the journey, not the destination. This one is pure inspiration!Show NotesHere & Now Fitness WebsiteHere & Now InstagramTom's Instagram

“A lot of people think if they're not grinding then they're not improving. Yes, you have to take action and work out, but don't skip past the things that give us life, like breath and sleep.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the beast that is James Newbury. James is a former professional rugby player turned CrossFit athlete and has been named Australia's fittest man four times. In 2019, James finished 5th at the CrossFit Games, earning him the title of the 5th Fittest Man on Earth. We talk about how James got started in CrossFit, why he's recently dabbled with triathlon, his love of trying just about anything new, how he went from just starting out to making the CrossFit games in a 5 year span, what he thinks separates himself from others, why he recently went vegan, why he utilizes fasting, breath work, and float tanks, the power of visualization for healing and performance, how sport has helped him as an entrepreneur, and his advice for leading a healthier life. James is a force and I can't think of a better conversation to end 2020 and kickoff the new year. Show NotesJames's InstagramJames's WebsiteTiny Timer WebsiteSoul 365 Fitness Website

This is a question I get asked a lot. Some people like the idea of having everything they eat planned out for them. Other folks are more attracted to the idea of doing it themselves, to favour the foods they like best. But what everybody wants to know is, which system will get you the best results? In this episode, not only do I tell you which system is best for which kind of person, but I give you a fool-proof way of planning your own nutrition. Stay tuned. thesculptedvegan.com
