The Food Heals Podcast

In part 2 of our Round Table, we say goodbye to Melissa (our amazing PA, check her out at ForkinPlants) and hello to the beautiful and super talented vegan chef Leslie Durso! She joins our panel of plant-based peeps, Whitney Lauritsen, a vegan entrepreneur and coach on a mission to help conscious brands grow, and Erica Mandy, a journalist and founder of theNewsWorthy.

In Part 2, our guests have 9 more incredible travel tips coming your way. They learned the hard way so you don’t have to!

Travel tip #8

Download What You Need – Make sure you download your podcast episodes (or videos, or ebooks) so you have something to listen to, read or watch while you travel. Alli uses the Overcast App. And if you need to work, download the web pages you need to reference. Your Google drive can be accessed offline so you can work on your documents without needing wifi.

Travel tip #9

Always Be On Germ Patrol – When you sit on the plane, make sure you wipe the seat, window, and tray table. You really don’t want to pick up germs before you’re on holiday. You can also bring a natural antibacterial spray and essential oils to keep your hands clean.

Travel tip #10

Water, Always Water – Make sure you stay hydrated while you travel. Whitney uses a LifeStraw – it screws onto any water bottle and will filter your water. Do not drink coffee or tea while you’re travelling; caffeine will just dehydrate you.

Travel tip #11

Love Your Body And It’ll Love You Back – Take plenty of turmeric and ginger before you travel. Their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties will knock out any germs, help regulate your body and keep it healthy on your travels. Pack some probiotics as well. This will help if you’re going to countries where the food is not what you’re used to eating.

Travel tip #12

Jet Lag Be Gone! – Change your sleep routine with the Jet Lag Rooster app. It will create a schedule for you to tell you when to go to bed, when to get sunlight, and more, so that you can avoid jet lag. You can also get blue light glasses, which block the light from the plane and help your body adjust to different time zones (Swanwick do stylish ones!).

Travel tip #13

Style & Comfort – Always bring a pashmina with you – you can use it as a blanket and a pillow in unexpected places where you really need some rest. It makes the perfect neck support if you wrap it around your water bottle.

Travel tip #14

Catch Some In-Flight Shut Eye – With all that time you spend on planes, it’s best not to forget accessories to make the flight more comfortable. Our favorite eye mask is the Dream Sleeper, super comfortable. We also love Sleep Buds – headphones you can sleep with! The fleece ones feel amazing.

Travel tip #15

Don’t Leave Your Eating Habits On The Runway – Pack healthy foods for the plane, like nuts, fruit (like oranges or apples – but beware, you’ll have to eat them before you get off the plane because some states have strict restrictions on what fruit can be brought in), cucumber and hummus, little packets of olives, or even vegan cheese and crackers.

You can also tell the airplane your dietary preferences ahead of time.

Travel tip #16

Go Anywhere, Way Easier – One of the best hacks if you’re travelling internationally is signing up for Global Entry. You’ll avoid the long lines that way, which really comes in handy when you’ve gotta make that connection.

Travel tip #17

Finally, Alli’s must-have travel essential – Organifi!

A big bottle of green juice won’t make it through airport security. But with Organifi green juice powder, you can drink your greens even when you travel. Organifi gives you a healthy helping of detoxifying herbs and vegetables like chlorella, moringa, spirulina, mint, beets, matcha, wheatgrass, ashwagandha, turmeric, coconut water and more – everything your body needs to kickstart your day.

Who better to have on our healthy travel round table than 3 queens of the plant-based movement?

Whitney Lauritsen is a vegan entrepreneur and coach, on a mission to help conscious brands grow.
Melissa Glazewski is a private vegan chef, founder of ForkinPlants, and the organizational wizard behind Food Heals.
Erica Mandy is a journalist and founder of theNewsWorthy.

Add a little vegan wine by Varietal group to the mix, and it’s not long before we’re sharing all sorts of secrets!

Can you guess which travel story belongs to which guest?

She went trekking in a remote part of Arizona – with only a compass and a map to guide her. Then she got lost…
She was skydiving in Australia. The moment the parachute opened, she knew something was wrong…
She traveled to Portland only to find she couldn’t poop for days…
She got scammed the second she stepped off the plane, and nearly didn’t make it out of Mexico….

Moral of our stories? Traveling can be loads of fun, but is sure to be full of surprises! After collecting all of our combined wisdom (and crazy stories), here’s your first round of travel tips.

Travel Tip #1 – Protect Yourself From Scammers

Find out all the details of your trip so you don’t get taken advantage of. Wait for people to introduce themselves, ask them what hotel/car service they work for, and don’t give away your information.

Travel Tip #2 – Get Those Vegan Basics

Get a hotel with a fridge (not a mini-fridge!). Even if you don’t have a car, there might be a grocery delivery service like Instacart that can bring you everything you need for a small fee. When Alli was in Philadelphia for Podcast Movement, she got Instacart deliver organic vegan groceries. She stocked the fridge with tomatoes, hummus, avocado, Miyoko’s vegan cheese and grapes and would have people over for cheese and wine!

Travel Tip #3 – Take Your Vitamins On Holiday

An easy way to do this is to buy a travel pill dispenser. It’s a little circular travel pill holder that you can store all your various vitamins in a compact way that is great for packing. Vitamins Alli never leaves home without are B12, vitamin C, pro-biotics, melatonin, and oxypowder (which you can only get from the Global Healing Center (don’t forget the discount code is foodheals17).

Travel Tip #4 – CBD Should Be A Travel Mate

CBD combats anxiety while traveling, helps with jet lag and is a natural alternative to sleeping pills. Suzy has the best stuff – find it at CBD Fountain. Coupon Code Foodheals for 20% off.

Travel Tip #5 – Pack Your Greens

Did you know 92% of Americans have a vitamin deficiency? It’s important to boost your energy, cleanse your body and feel amazing any day, but even more so when you travel. Alli never leaves home without Organifi, the easiest way to eat your greens no matter where you are or what you’re doing.

When you wake up and drink a glass of Organifi Green Juice, you kick-start the body’s processes of daily detoxing, producing natural energy, and managing stress. It’s a great way to start the day with a smart choice.

So What Is Organifi? It’s a green juice powder infused with superfoods – Alli’s favorite is coconut and ashwagandha. Simply mix with water and boom!: you’ve got all the nutrients you need to jumpstart your energy, curb that jet lag and power through your day.

You can get 20% discount on your first order with the coupon code foodheals.

Travel Tip #6 – Choose Drinks Wisely

Whether you’re traveling business or pleasure, you’re probably going to engage in a few cocktails while you’re out of town. So Alli’s best advice is to choose organic biodynamic wines whenever possible. Our friends at Scout & Cellar know what’s up. If you want to sample the best vegan products hassle-free, then reach out to Varietal group – everything they promote is organic, biodynamic and vegan, free of sulfites and added sugar. And it’s female-owned. A great way to support women entrepreneurs.

Travel Tip #7 Increase You Vitamin C Dosage

This helps boost your immune system while traveling. It also helps with jet lag. Best of all, there’s no way to overdose on it!

Next time… we’ve got another guest joining the panel: vegan chef Leslie Durso. But you’ll have to wait until the next episode for her healthy travel tips!

What you’ll learn in Episode 250:

How to check your wine is vegan (and why you need to!)

Who went trekking in Arizona and got lost in the dessert for hours?
Who got scammed at the airport and nearly didn’t make it out of Mexico?

249: Transforming the Healthcare System and Achieving Your Health Goals with Meghan Nechrebecki

Let’s face it: being healthy these days is a real battle. We drive everywhere, we sit all day, we’re stressed and we eat a standard American diet. You know what’s adding to the problem? Our US healthcare system. It’s centered around sick care, giving little attention to preventative care, or helping people lead healthier lives so they don’t get sick in the first place. Plus, those patients looking for help with medical emergencies are either faced with the possibility of bankruptcy or don’t have the necessary information to make educated decisions about their treatment.

What we’re basically saying is…navigating the healthcare system can be a nightmare.

But one person is changing all that! Meet Meghan Nechrebecki, founder and CEO of Health Care Transformation, an organization with a #1 goal of improving health outcomes, reducing healthcare costs, and empowering people to take control of their health.

Meghan was always passionate about healthcare. She wanted to be a doctor, but while doing her Master’s in public health, she saw the issues patients are faced with: lack of access, no information, un-affordable insurance. She decided not to be another cog in the machine. Rather, she hoped to fix the system from the inside. Instead of going to medical school, she began working with insurance companies, health startups and even the UCLA health system. In this training she saw more clearly than ever exactly how the healthcare system lets people down. She also spotted a huge opportunity for prevention – because many of the diseases we face can be avoided through lifestyle changes.

Her 6-Week Wellness Transformation Program gives people the tools they need to achieve health success, whatever that looks like to them. It’s entirely online, which makes it super easy to fit into even the busiest schedule. You’ll get access to a wellness coach, and modules cover everything from general nutrition, understanding calories, choosing the best ingredients, food quality, meal prep, sustainability over time, healthy habits and much, much more…

Meghan has also authored My Health Care Transformation Handbook, an absolutely gorgeous Tiffany blue handbook to take on your journey to better health. In there, you’ll find a ton of prevention-centered information:

Managing your clinical encounters
How to document your medication
What happens with hospital stays
Advance care planning
And all things health insurance.

Going forward, healthcare will move in the right direction, thanks to people like Meghan who are working tirelessly to make the healthcare system fair, and health-focused. Big up, girlfriend. 😄

What you’ll learn in Episode 249:

How to access the best care for the best price
Who’s making bank off your health?
What’s behind our failing healthcare system?
The key to a healthy life
What you need to make journaling a success
One of the major questions you need to ask your doctor
What most people don’t know about end of life care
What kind of healthcare system should we vote for?
How health insurance works
Why universal coverage costs less
The cheapest ways to prevent disease

Our favorite moments:

@9:34 We have to figure it out

@16:00 It’s a battle being healthy

@20:05 I did not know how good I could feel

@37:45 I need to fix this!

248: The Truth about Breast Implant Illness and Loving Yourself Whatever Your Size

Like so many of us, Christina Roulund was insecure about her body. So she got breast implants at 23, hoping it would be a miracle worker on her self-esteem. Back then, there was no real data about the surgery: it was supposed to be completely safe. And for five years, she was perfectly ok (even though the boost in confidence really only lasted a few months).

But things started going wrong… (~Exhaustion, forgetfulness, depression, anxiety~). She put it down to being a new mom, but over the years it got even worse… (~Hair loss, joint pain, no libido, out of control hormones, shortness of breath~). She tried everything she could: fully detoxing her diet, ridding her home of anything toxic. But nothing worked…

Then, one evening, something on the news changed her life forever. Four women were being interviewed who had recently gotten explants (breast implant removals) to heal the same symptoms she was experiencing. They’d been suffering from breast implant illness – an issue now recognized by an increasing number of practitioners. The toxins Christina’s body was reacting to were actually coming from her implants.

She decided there and then to get them removed. Christina has been explanted over 6 months now, and feels like a brand-new woman. She has energy, motivation, and is symptom-free. And her looks? Christina just wanted to get her life back. “If I’m flat, I’m ok with that”. Power to you, sister. 👍

Why do so many of us decide to go under the knife despite the risks? We do it to feel more whole, or womanly, or confident. We want to match up to the unrealistic ideals on TV or social media. But surgery is a short-term fix. Instead, we need to start by loving ourselves exactly as we are right now.

Christina is on a mission to radically change thousands of lives by spreading the word on the **TRUTH** behind breast implants and their complications. As well as being a coach for binge and emotional eaters, she’s the founder of Size Happy, the hottest new self-love movement online. If you’re worried about your current implants, or thinking about getting implants and want to know more about them, you can email Christina at Christina@sizehappy.net.

If You Want To Learn More About Silicone Implant Illness:

Go to Christina’s FB group (just say you’ve heard of the group through the Food Heals Podcast when you ask to join) – there’s a mountain of information about implants and lots of support from women going through the same thing.
Read Christina’s guide Discovering Breast Implant Illness – What Now? Everything you need to know about breast implant illness and what to expect after explanting.

Christina’s top healing foods when you’re getting over breast implant illness:

Bromalin – either in supplement, or pineapple – helps reduce bruising.
Arnica – helps with bruising and swelling.
Apple cider vinegar – great for the gut and immune system.
Celery juice in the morning on an empty stomach – powerful detoxer.

What you’ll learn in Episode 248:

How your lymph nodes let you know something’s up
How Christina healed her breast implant illness
Is there a link between mercury fillings and auto-immune disease?
When to start detoxing from your implants
Everything you need to know about explanting
Why it’s not all in your head

How to do social media in a healthy loving way
Christina’s biggest tip for happiness

247: Healing Lyme’s Disease Naturally and Transforming the Health System With Adrienne Nolan-Smith

Sometimes it takes a traumatic experience to make us WAKE UP and take health into our own hands.

That’s what happened to Adrienne. She was diagnosed with Lyme’s disease at just 11 years old. Back then, doctors didn’t know much about it, or even how to recognize it. Antibiotics weren’t working. But they rarely do, because Lyme’s disease is a spiral-shaped bacterium that confuses the body and can be complicated to heal.

But Adrienne’s mom did not give up. After two years, thanks to integrative medicine strategies like:

whole foods diet
hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Adrienne was free from symptoms!

Fast-forward to college, Adrienne began eating the normal student diet…and lost her periods. Doctors couldn’t find anything wrong with her and told her to just go on the birth control pill. That wasn’t good enough for Adrienne. Again, she changed her diet, and again, food worked its magic. Her periods came back.

But it was a more traumatic event that made Adrienne want to become a board-certified patient advocate. Her mom suffered from severe mental health issues. She spent five years in and out of institutions, drugged up on anti-psychotics and other medications to counter the side effects, and eventually committed suicide.

Isn’t that the core problem with the health industry? Instead of looking at the patient and working out what might be causing the disease, doctors just throw pills at the problem. There’s no health freedom when holistic options are never even mentioned.

Adrienne knew from that moment on she needed to do something to change the medical system and help people wake up to the importance of diet and lifestyle.

So, just a year and a half ago, she launched WellBe, a content and learning platform dedicated to helping people prevent chronic health issues, or heal them if they arise. Check it out for in-depth articles, science wrap-ups and guides to prevent chronic health issues… including a Wine Guide. Or head to the WellBe store, where you can get natural lifestyle products tried and tested by Adrienne – including a must-have gadget for wine lovers.

What you’ll learn in Episode 247:

Why antibiotics don’t work against Lyme disease
What your body is trying to tell you if your periods stop
Why this is a critical time for mental health
How loneliness contributes to disease
Why tribespeople live longer, healthier lives
The key ingredient in longevity
The treatments that actually works to heal Lyme’s disease
The MUST-HAVE health & well-being product for wine lovers

Something happens whenever we start dieting…

…we get so busy following the latest fitness and diet trends that we completely lose sight of the single most important thing about successful weight loss: WHO WE ARE.

Maybe it’s time to throw away what you think you know about dieting. It is true that almost every diet and fitness trend can be a path to weight loss. But the real question remains….is that trend meant to be YOUR path?

If you’re struggling to lose weight, it may be as simple as following the wrong method for you.

Christine Lusita may be an expert on fitness and weight loss now, but she struggled with her weight since the age of 13. Finding her path towards health and fitness was a marathon. She was a yoyo dieter, going all in on the latest diet & fitness trend, only to burn out. It wasn’t until she found a plan that was just right for her that she truly connected with her health and her body (and dieting felt easier than ever!).

Now she helps other people sprint towards their wellness goals. Christine has over 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industry and regularly appears on morning shows to promote the latest food & fitness trends that could end up being perfect for you! She also coaches clients to help them realign and accept who they are. For those just starting their journey of weight loss and acceptance, she even has the book The Right Fit Formula, which delves deep into using fitness & health strategies as a way to reach the best version of yourself…NOT to get abs like J-Lo and hate your life…

The book also helps match a health regiment to your personality. Are you a – ?

Leader
Socializer
Supporter
Planter

Really knowing what you are (and are not) is crucial, because what type of workout “works” for one personality type doesn’t for another. And if you want to really feel good while you’re working out, check out Christine’s ‘8os inspired fitness brand What A Feeling Athletic Wear – that’s how Christine wants people to feel after a workout. Why the 1980s? Because that decade felt like a more innocent, up-beat time, especially when it came to fitness. Her new line complements every body type and brings a splash of color, and joy, to your workouts. We love it!

What you’ll learn in Episode 246:

The secret factor in abundant health
How your personality gets in the way of successful dieting
Can clearing your physical space help you lose weight?
What happened when Christine, Suzy and Allison met Mario Lopez
Why Christine is obsessed with the 1980s
A 3-minute activity that will completely shift your mood
What happens when you repress emotions
The number ONE cause of all diet failures

The Right Fit Formula

We all love a good outfit. But fashion is cruel to animals, cruel to people and cruel to the planet. Especially luxury fashion, which is synonymous with fur, cashmere, leather, angora and silk.

Can fashion ever be compassionate? Thanks to Delikate Rayne now it can.

Meg and Komie were raised vegetarian. From a very young age they understood that animals are not here for food. Also from a young age, they loved nothing more than to customize their outfits. As they started shopping, they found it nearly impossible to find clothes they liked that were also cruelty-free. That’s why they created Delikate Rayne, a 100% vegan, sustainable, luxury clothing line made in LA. Their mission: to make a positive impact and give back through something people love – great fashion!

What’s so wrong with fast fashion anyway?

The impact on animals – It’s a myth that fur and leather are by-products of the meat industry. There are actually animals raised specifically for their furs, where they are confined in tiny cages, tortured and slaughtered for their skin.
The impact on the environment – Constantly changing trends mean there is an incredible amount of waste. The process of dying fabrics pollutes water.
The social impact – If you’re paying $10 for a t-shirt, how much is the person who made it getting paid?

The solution? Go for a brand that is vegan, affordable, sustainable AND gorgeous… we love Delikate Rayne’s fashion range because it ticks all these boxes.

Meg and Komie’s tips for green shopping and living:

Keep a reusable bottle (have a few so you always have one to hand)
Shop in thrift stores (have a clear idea of what you want and then go search for it)
Buy high-quality timeless pieces rather than an abundance of cheap clothes
Host a fashion pot-luck evening and swap clothes with your friends

What you’ll learn in Episode 245:

How to inject compassion into your shopping routine
How to avoid getting overwhelmed when you go cruelty-free
Strategies to veganize your wardrobe one step at a time
How fast fashion is destroying our ecosystems
The social impact of fast fashion
How Meg and Komie entered the fashion world without ever studying it
Meg and Komie’s secret to success

What’s the difference between soul groups and soulmates? Tracy believes we reincarnate, and have a soul group that we are connected to throughout time. You know that feeling when you have an instant rapport with someone? That’s because they’re part of your soul group. And it doesn’t have to be a lover, it can be a friend. So relax – because this means there’s more than just one single person out there for you!

Diets don’t work. Neither do New Year’s resolutions. (sorry…)

Why? Too many people believe that if you lose weight, you’ll transform your life. In fact, you need to transform your life first, then the weight loss will happen.

Alli was a healthy plant-based holistic salad eater by day…. and sugar junkie by night. Sugar addiction ruled her life. Nothing she tried ever worked. Until she met David Zappasodi. Now, her cravings for sugar have disappeared.

David Zappasodi has been a healthcare professional specializing in weight loss for over 20 years. He uses radical methods. Instead of coaching people to find their why, and motivating them to change their habits, he tells his clients to stop exercising and eat the junk foods they crave several times a day.

It sounds nuts. But…. IT WORKS.

How do you transform your life first? You have to focus on the struggles that are preventing the weight loss, and then focus on the weight loss itself. To do this, David uses three brain flips that tackle cravings, overeating, and exercising.

Brain Flip Cravings

Cravings are like bullies. You have to stand up to them in a way that lets them know you’re not going to be pushed around. Trying to avoid bullies, or fight them, doesn’t work long-term. It’s the same with your cravings. You might try avoiding your cravings, but that doesn’t work. Eventually the cravings win. Then you indulge and feel guilty. The only way to free yourself is to eat the food you crave… but eat it in a different pattern.

Think about it. You’ve resisted for so long, then finally you give in. In that moment when you indulge, there is pleasure. This is the core point where things need to change. If you create pain in the moment of indulgence, then you begin to flip your brain to eradicate your desire for that particular food. How? By creating a pain tool. This is a recording of what could go wrong in your life if you don’t solve this issue, which you listen to while you eat the food. Over time, you stop associating indulging with pleasure, and the cravings subside.

Brain Flip Overeating:

The way David tackles overeating is to get his clients to split their usual portion into two plates. You eat the first one normally, but you eat the second portion while listening to another pain tool, so you learn to associate being overfull with being in pain.

Brain Flip Exercise:

AKA the “body brain flip”. Now that the cravings and overeating are dealt with, it’s time to reprogram your brain to look at exercise in a completely new way. David gets his clients to create a vision tool – the opposite to a pain tool. Imagine the best that could happen to you as you transform your health and lose the weight, and listen to that audio several times a day to really connect with the feeling of joy. This turns around your usual thinking about exercise being a chore, into something you’re excited to do!

Want more? Go back to Episode 233, where David delves deep into how the brain flip method frees you of chaotic or compulsive eating.

David’s tips to reduce your cravings:

If you’re really struggling – schedule a free call with David at www.brainflipweightloss.com/talk
Increase the enjoyment of healthy foods – for example listen to great music when you eat them.
Don’t eat healthy foods while you’re stressed – it will create a negative association.
Try not to let indulging in the cravings to de-stress you. Relax first, and then indulge.
Junk food should not be used as a reward – ask yourself “how can I reward myself without eating junk food?”

Just how powerful is your fork?

With it, you can save animals from factory farms. You can shift culture. You can stop rainforests from being chopped down. You can help communities. You can create the kind of world you want to live in. The food revolution is a revolution you can fight peacefully, and everyone wins: the animals, the people, and our environment.

Food is both the foundation of sustainable health and of terrible diseases. Ocean Robbins witnessed both sides of food play out in his own family history. His grandfather was one of the founders of Baskin-Robbins. His dad refused to go into the business, and walked away from a path paved with gold and ice-cream. He moved to an island off Canada with his wife, built a log cabin, grew vegetables, practiced yoga several hours a day, and had a child: Ocean.

From this island, Ocean’s dad wrote the book Diet for a New America, which helped thousands of people rethink their food choices. One of his readers ended up being his own father, who, after years of eating a standard American diet, was at death’s door. But making the changes suggested in the book, he reversed his heart disease and diabetes, lost 30 pounds, and lived 19 more healthy years.

When Ocean was 16, inspired by his dad and grandfather, he founded a nonprofit called Yes, and traveled to 65 countries giving talks and helping young activists build a healthier world for future generations. It was during these travels that Ocean realized how much that food was the source of so much suffering: the torture of animals, the use of chemical poisons, and the subsidies supporting the unhealthiest of foods.

In 2012, Ocean joined forces with his dad and launched the Food Revolution Network, to promote healthy, sustainable food for everyone. They push for policy changes that could change our world. One of their goals is to make sure medical doctors get proper nutrition education. They also lobby to stop policies that support junk foods, and get the food industry to take health seriously.

But perhaps the most important goal is to share this life-boosting information with as many people as possible and help them put healthy change into action – not just for themselves, but for their community and the whole world.

We’re so excited to announce that Ocean’s new book 31-Day Food Revolution is out today!! It’s packed with information and a step by step plan to put new habits into action.

The 4 principles to starting your own Food Revolution:

Less sugar and processed junk
Less animal products
More whole plant foods (veg, greens, legumes, whole grains, fruits – lots of fiber)
Conscious sourcing – buy food that is organically, ethically, and fairly produced

How to be plant-based affordably:

Stop buying calories that are toxic (from junk foods)
Avoid food waste – plan ahead, cook up extra meals and freeze them
Eat out less
Buy the real superfoods – cabbage, carrots, onions, beans, quinoa, spices…

All these things put together can get you to ultimate vitality and help create a better world.

But it’s about more than just health. Food can also connect us. Ocean’s book gives tips to help you be a positive influencer, teach people about nutrition in a loving way, and how you can build a community. Because we are not lone wolves. We need community to thrive.

And for every copy of the book that’s ordered, Ocean will donate to Trees for the Future, a nonprofit that plants trees all over the world. Every time a new copy is ordered, they will plant an organic fruit or nut tree in a disadvantaged community. This means when you order Ocean’s new book, you participate in the food revolution right away.
