115: How to be a Change-maker with Humane Society's Lauren Pitts Sep 18, 2016

Show notes

How many of us keep ourselves in the dark when it comes to where our food comes from? We turn the other way because we don't want to learn about male chicks being tossed into a grinder because they're not "profitable", we don't want to see pigs suffering and immobile in their tiny birthing pens. But thanks to the work of animal activists and organizations like the Humane Society, more and more people are waking up to these practices and opting to go plant-based.

We met Lauren Pitts at the amazing Humane Society Annual Gala, where we bonded over animal welfare, celebrities and all things plant-based!

Lauren always had a passion for animals, but she also ate them. Then three years ago she decided to stop keeping herself in the dark about where her food was coming from. After watching video by Dr. Melanie Joy, she threw her lunch in the trash, and embarked on plant-based lifestyle. But she doesn't stop at her own diet: through her work with the Humane Society, she's getting plant based meals into schools, universities and hospitals!

Cows can live to 20 years old, but they will be slaughtered by the time they're 3. And then we eat them. Yet we can completely survive on plant based foods. For Lauren, the easiest, cheapest, best thing to do for the environment and animals is to reduce your meat consumption. Try a Meatless Monday, or go plant-based a couple of days a week, or be vegan before 6pm – whatever works for you. Just go for it, give it a try – you might surprise yourself.

We're also joined by surprise guest Kari Jean Glosser, a certified financial planner and adviser who's recently joined the plant-based movement. She's 3 months into her plant-based lifestyle and loving it!

114: How to Be Radiant with Tess Challis Sep 06, 2016

Show notes

Quintessence ("Tess") Challis began her holistic health journey in her late teens. After a lifetime of numerous health ailments (including acne, obesity, strep throat, constant illnesses, anxiety, and depression), she found that a vegan diet along with an "inner wellness regime" of meditation and visualization literally made a world of difference.

In 1994, she began sharing this knowledge through cooking classes, catering, meditation classes, and workshops. She has also been a personal chef to many clients across the United States.

In 2009, Tess published the 2nd edition of Radiant Health, Inner Wealth, a vegan cookbook and complete holistic health resource. Tess's second book, The Two-Week Wellness Solution: The Fast Track to Permanent Weight Loss and Vitality, was released in June 2010 and includes a foreword by Dr. Neal Barnard. Her latest book, Radiance 4 Life: The 4 Cornerstones of Ultimate Vitality, was just published in June 2011 and includes a foreword by Robert Cheeke.

Over the last 20 years Tess has worked as a wellness coach, a chef, a caterer, workshop leader, speaker, writer and of course, a mom.

Show notes

Megan is a former burger slinger who now is a vegan health coach. She is passionate about health, wellness and healing our bodies naturally.

Megan never looked or felt unhealthy. In fact, she looked like the epidome of health even though she lived on burgers and junk food.

When she had a chance encounter with vegan activist and NBA star John Salley, he encouraged her to go vegan and change her lifestyle.

This is when Megan discovered the awful truth- she had parasites inside of her after a life of poor food choices. Together John guided Megan through a long and intense detoxification process so she could reclaim her health!

This is one of the craziest stories we have ever told on the podcast so buckle up (if you're driving) and get ready for this amazing tale.

And, on this episode we have guest co-host, Eco-vegan gal Whitney Lauritsen. Mashable named her one of the Top 75 Environmentalists to Follow on Twitter, and she was included in NBC New York's list of Top 10 Eco Hotties on Twitter.

Show notes

Jay and Joy are the dream team behind the Jing Slingers. If you've ever wondered how to use superfoods and tonics to supercharge your health, this is the episode for you! Go from surviving to thriving and discover the Jing Slingers' secrets to being vibrant, juicy, and full of life!

Allison and her favorite guest co-host Eco Vegan Gal Whitney Lauritsen interview Joy Coelho and Jay Denman. Together Joy and Jay are the amazing team behind Jing Slingers, and authors of a fantastic new book Foods with Benefits.

Joy is literally glowing—we couldn't believe she's nearly 60! But she wasn't always this way. She used to weight nearly 300 pounds, had high blood pressure and felt miserable. When an energetic healer found a tumor on one of her ovaries, she threw herself into holistic medicine. Now, she takes no meds, she feels amazing, has "a rockin' libido" (and we all want one of those, right ladies?) and feels fitter and healthier than she was at 35.

Jay is a writer, speaker and yogi. He suffered with heart palpitations in his early 20s, but refused the prescription meds in favor of a holistic approach. He's spent the last 15 years studying yoga, self-development and the power of tonic herbs. Working in Tonic bars all over the world, Jay has crafted over 50,000 custom elixirs to help his clients detoxify from the heavy burden our artificial world puts on our bodies.

Everyone is welcome at Joy and Jay's table, whether you're vegan, paleo, omnivore, vegetarian, gluten-free, and their recipes can be adapted to all needs. Their book, Food with Benefits, is packed with cleverly comforting foods that will elevate you and your health. And we can testify to them being absolutely divine (we tasted them and…. OMG!).

What you'll discover:

What to do to recharge your DNA.
The difference between tonic herbs and medicinal herbs.
How our artificial environment impacts our health.
How to grow money (really!)
A food you can grow in just ten days.
How to source herbs on a budget.
The healthiest coffee to drink.
Plus a really juicy beauty tip…
