VZ 309: A Review of What the Health May 19, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we're going to discuss the documentary What the Health, which, like most documentaries on the topic of food and health, tends to ruffle quite a few feathers. We're going to give a high level overview of the documentary and then talk about some of the arguments on both sides.

VZ 308: 5 Awesome Benefits of Pea Protein May 12, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen Podcast, we're going to discuss pea protein. We've discussed plant-based proteins in past episodes (we'll have links in the show notes to some of our previous discussions about plant-based proteins) but haven't really done a "deep-dive" into any of them. Today we'll take a closer look at what pea protein is, learn about some of its benefits, and share what to look for on the label when selecting a pea protein.

VZ 305: Birding 101 with Larissa Apr 21, 2019

Show notes

You don't have to be a Bird Nerd to get outdoors and do a little bird watching on National Go Birding Day (April 27). Even if you've never cracked open a field guide to identify a bird or ventured out to look at birds beyond your own backyard, we've got some basic information to get you started.

VZ 304: Reiki and Radical Beauty with Stacy Ramirez Apr 14, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast we chat with Stacy Ramirez who is a member of our Golden Apple Roundtable, the folks who support us through Patreon.

VZ 303: Why You Won't Hear Us Bashing Ex-Vegans Apr 07, 2019

Show notes

It seems that there has been a recent exodus of Vegan Youtube personalities and social media influencers and the call-out culture is alive and well. Besides the rude and sometimes threatening comments there are a few still plant-based Youtubers who have taken to the internet to post their own videos calling out these ex-vegans.

We're not going to name names because that's not how we roll and we don't want to become part of the call-out culture, but we do want to take this opportunity to emphasize our philosophy at Vegetarian Zen and explain why you won't ever hear us call out ex-vegans.

VZ 302: In the Garden with Augie Sanchez (aka The Unkempt Gardener) Mar 31, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of our podcast, we are very pleased to share an interview with someone who has been a friend of mine for 10 years or so now. I met him while working in my corporate job and we've stayed in touch even after he left.

His name is Augie Sanchez and he's also a gardener. I've always known that Augie loved to garden but didn't realize how much of a passion this was for him until reading his interview in Burpee's Blog which featured him as the Gardener for the Month for March 2019.

Today we're going to talk to Augie about how he developed his love for gardening, some of his eco-friendly gardening practices, and what advice he gives to beginning gardeners.
