Health is the cornerstone of prosperity. If our body isn’t functioning properly…

 

…we can’t do anything! We can’t lead joyful lives.

 

We normalize aches and pains, bloating, exhaustion, headaches, ill-health – all the things caused by our lifestyle. We come to believe that to be human means to get progressively sicker every year. But that simply isn’t true. There’s no reason we can’t be vibrant and active even after turning 90. Today’s guest is a perfect example.

 

Eric L. Adams is a former Democratic State Senator and police officer, and current Borough President of Brooklyn (and social justice warrior). He knows first-hand how powerful a simple lifestyle change can be. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with advanced Type 2 Diabetes. He had stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, permanent nerve damage to his hands and feet…and had lost sight in his right eye(!). Specialists told him that because diabetes ran in his family, he was inevitably heading towards kidney failure, blindness and possible foot amputation.

 

So he made a change. After reading Dr Greger’s How Not To Die (check out Episode 214), and watching Forks over Knives, he cleaned out his kitchen cupboards and swapped his Standard American Diet for a whole foods plant-based diet. 3 weeks later?

 

  • His vision cleared up
  • His stomach ulcers disappeared
  • All nerve damage was reverse.

 

A complete turn-around.

 

 

Now, Eric is determined to empower people to heal themselves. Because after all, there’s no such thing as prosperity without a healthy community. He’s teamed up with schools to teach children to grow food, and runs initiatives like Meatless Mondays and 10-day challenges for people suffering with disease, as well as hosting events to demystify veganism.

 

But his most exciting work is happening at Bellevue hospital. The first ever plant-based unit will be set up, run by functional medicine doctors, dietitians and nutritionists to show patients how to heal themselves, reverse disease and come off their prescription meds with a whole-food plant-based diet. Could this model be rolled out on a global scale? We sure hope so!

 

This could change the conversation around medicine for good. The future’s looking bright. Check out Eric’s Instagram to learn more!

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 232:

  • How to give yourself a perfect reset
  • How Eric reversed vision loss in just 3 weeks
  • What you need to do to start your body’s healing process
  • Why health and prosperity are connected
  • Can you have an active sex life into your 80’s?
  • Why veganism is super affordable
  • How Eric is helping communities fight food insecurity
  • How you can create global change
  • Are you a wounded warrior?
  • How Eric’s mum reversed her high blood pressure at 80 years old

We can’t achieve our goals without being productive…but doesn’t it feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day?

 

Kris McPeak is a certified life coach, author, blogger, podcast host, founder of the Silver Peak Performance swim team… and she also holds a full-time job. We couldn’t think of anyone better to give us holiday productivity hacks!

 

How does she do it all? Prioritization, routine and self-care. It all goes hand in hand. Kris spends 8 hours at the office, makes sure she gets 8 hours sleep, and that leaves 8 hours to elevate. And Kris really has made the most of those 8 hours. She’s written the books Shake it Off: Ten 10 Minute Resets For Your Day (Making Work Work For You), and Elevate Your 8: 21 Days to Prosperous Time Management, AND launched her new podcast Elevate Your 8. All this in just a few months, after attending our Rise & Bloom Mastermind in April.

 

Whatever your goals, or no matter how long you’ve been an entrepreneur, you can always learn new ways to be productive.

 

Kris’s Productivity Hacks:

  • See the time it takes to do the little things – showering, commuting, cooking – then figure out how much time you have left for the most important tasks.
  • Value your time – could you create more time for yourself by delegating or hiring someone?
  • Treat time like it’s money – get the urgent things done first.
  • Set a social media timer – so you don’t get sucked into the rabbit hole.
  • Prioritize – figure out what needs to be done and when. Is it urgent or can it wait till the weekend?
  • Go with the flow – recognize your schedule can get messed up, and learn to be flexible.
  • Don’t judge yourself on what you didn’t get done.
  • Develop a morning routine.

 

 

But what about this time of year? The holidays let us connect with loved ones and new people…but it’s also easy to get overwhelmed by it all (and for the family visits to mess with your schedule).

 

Here are Kris and Leslie’s tips for getting through the holidays while staying healthy and productive:

  • Don’t feel like you have to go to every party – it’s ok to turn down invitations to honor your self-care.
  • Plan ahead – fuel with good food and choose the healthiest dishes at parties.
  • Discover JOMO – the Joy Of Missing Out 
  • Always bring food! (duh)
  • Bring a plant-based wine – our favorite is Le Grand Courtage sparkling wine (or just try Brown Brother’s dessert wine – straight from Oz, but available in the US.

 

A Delicious Holiday Detox?

And of course, we all want to look and feel fabulous during the holidays. This is a time when it’s even more important to detox, because we’re eating a little more and drinking a few extra glasses of wine. No one wants to feel sluggish and bloated. What if you could add something to your regular routine that helps your body to detox naturally? Well, you can, with Teami blends.

 

Detoxing helps get rid of these extra holiday toxins, improve your energy levels, clear up your skin, boost your metabolism and clear out the digestive tract. We love detoxing, but this usually means fasting, which is not easy to do at this time of year…

 

That’s why we’re excited for you to try Teami Blends, a fun way to detox that fits into your normal day-to-day. In other words, you can eat and cleanse at the same time. What’s more, you can turn them into a delicious Mocha Choca latte – you’ll have to tune into the podcast for the recipe!

 

Right now, you can get 20% off Teami Blends with discount code FoodHeals.

Five Languages of Love book

Is it possible to eat meat AND be cruelty free? Can we continue eating burgers AND still tackle the global climate crisis?

 

A few years ago, the answer to that would have been no, absolutely not….

 

…but today? Clean meat is forging the way towards exactly that: meat that requires no killing, and that has no environmental impact. One of the biggest catalysts toward this shift is Bruce Friedrich.

 

Bruce went plant-based way before it was popular (1987) after reading Diet for a Small Planet and realizing that meat production was taking us on a path to global starvation. When he found out what Pat Browne of Impossible Foods was doing (and realized clean meat was the future), he co-founded the Good Food Institute (GFI) – a non-profit organization that works with scientists and entrepreneurs to find sustainable, kind alternatives to industrially produced animal products.

 

Clean meat is not another veggie burger. It IS meat – but grown from cells in a lab, rather than by rearing livestock. The result is meat that is better for your health, and for the planet.

 

 

Here’s Why:

 

Better for Your Health and Global Health

70% of the antibiotics produced in the US go to farm animals; it’s a risk that’s twofold:

 

  1. Antiobiotics end up on a meat-eater’s plate every day…we are not designed for that.
  2. Overusing antibiotics in food consumption results in lowered human resistance to superbugs strong enough to be a greater threat to our lives than climate change.

 

With clean meat, there are no livestock animals, so no need for antibiotics – and no antibiotic residues in your burger! It’s all grown in a lab, a sanitary place not contaminated by intestines or poop bacteria. No salmonella threat; no E. coli threat either.

 

The tens of millions of Americans who get sick to meat consumption every year? Wouldn’t happen with clean meat.

 

Better For The Planet

Factory farming is not sustainable – we’ve known it for decades!

 

It takes 9 calories of food (from grain or grass or soy) to “grow” 1 calorie of meat. That’s 8 calories of crop wasted to get just 1 consumable calorie. That’s 800% food waste. Think about what it takes to grow the crops to feed livestock: water, pesticides, herbicides, gas and energy to ship the crops to feed mills and to factory farms, to ship the animals to and from slaughter houses. It’s no wonder the UN’s report Livestock’s Long Shadow found that animal agriculture is one of the top 3 contributors to climate change.

 

End World Hunger

A transition to clean meat could end world poverty and hunger too.

 

Plant-based meat could feed the world. Instead of growing crops (with all that waste) to feed animals (that are just getting contaminated), these crops could be grown to feed the world’s poorest and saving tens of millions currently losing their lives to starvation-related causes.

 

So clean meat means no waste, no cruelty, no environmental destruction. And it doesn’t require anyone to change their habits. It looks like meat, tastes like meat – it IS meat, but grown differently. That’s why it’s a game changer. And why Bruce and others predict that we’ll see a 100% plant-based meat world by 2050 (or sooner!).

 

Clean Protein – The Book

Bruce has just co-authored a new book with Kathy Freston. Clean Protein – The Revolution that Will Reshape Your Body, Boost Your Energy, And Save Our Planet goes through which clean proteins are best for our health, as well as tips on:

 

  • Working out how much protein you need
  • Transitioning to veganism
  • Plant-based shopping
  • And a TON of tasty recipes

 

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s the perfect read for anyone worried about how to stay healthy and vegan during the holidays.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 230:

  • What’s the difference between clean meat and plant-based meat?
  • Why livestock antibiotics are a global health threat
  • Why the meat industry is causing global starvation
  • The best sources of protein for health
  • How clean meat can save our planet
  • What dictates your food choices and how to transition to healthier options
  • How GFI is transforming the world
  • How to keep everyone happy at Thanksgiving

 

Hey, How About Some Pre-Holiday Detoxing Fun? (And Is That Even Possible?)

Did you know most Americans hold 10 to 15 pounds of toxins in their colon? Pretty gross, right?

 

This makes detoxing so important – it helps get rid of these toxins, improve your energy levels, clear up your skin, boost your metabolism and clear out the digestive tract. We LOVE detoxing…but it can be hard (especially the not eating part). 

 

That’s why we’re excited for you to try Teami Blends, a fun way to detox that fits into your normal day-to-day. In other words, you can eat and cleanse at the same time (who knew??). And right now…

Ah, Italia! The pizzas, the pastas, the wine, the gelato….

 

…but hold up now: what if you’re vegan? Well, let’s bust a myth right now. It’s a total misconception that being gluten-free or vegan in Italy is difficult. We’re used to the American versions of Italian foods, where it’s all about cream and cheese (and thousands of un-needed calories to go with them). Truth is, traditional Italian specialties, particularly in the South of Italy, are all about fresh produce done in a healthy way.

 

Real Italian food is a whole other world – and it’s super vegan-friendly!

 

How do we know this? Because we’ve traveled throughout Italy and sampled the best vegan options firsthand! Like our Italian Getaway last year, where we went to the best restaurants Ravello has to offer. Check out Episode 211 to hear what previous guests thought of the experience.

 

Before setting off for “the Beautiful Country”, veganize some Italian dishes at home: in the process you’ll be reducing the amount of calories usually found in Americanized Italian meals, and making them way, way healthier. Vince, our talented producer for the day (and mixing & mastering engineer) is Italian, but intolerant to dairy, so he had some fun questions for our resident vegan Italian chef!

 

 

Here are some of Leslie’s favorite plant-based Italian classics.

 

Vegan Alfredo sauce:

  • Boil cauliflower in vegetable broth until it’s tender.
  • Place cauliflower, vegetable broth, roasted garlic, nutritional yeast, cashew nuts and caramelized onion in a blender.
  • Blend until smooth and pour over pasta. (Best. Sauce. EVER.)

 

Chicken Milano:

  • Substitute the cream with a vegan cashew cream: Boil and rinse cashew nuts, drain them, and blend with a little water, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
  • Substitute the chicken with seitan or breaded & fried zucchini steaks.

 

Eggplant parmigiana:

  • Thinly slice eggplant lengthwise, sprinkle on salt and leave for 10 mins.
  • Pat dry, then pop them into flour and oil to fry.
  • Make a parmigiana by blending cashew nuts, caramelized onion, roasted garlic, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
  • Layer the eggplant in an oven dish with tomato sauce, whole basil leaves, and the parmigiana sauce.
  • Bake until it bubbles. (this dish will change your life, just sayin’).

 

Easy vegan gelato:

  • Place a couple of frozen bananas with your flavor of choice (cacao, berries, maca, etc.) in a blender.
  • Blend until it’s super smooth and super thick.
  • Place back in the freezer for an hour or two – this firms it up so you can scoop it.

 

Alli’s super-fast chocolate mousse:

  • Place avocado, cacao powder, plant milk, and vegan sugar in your blender.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • Leave in the fridge for chocolate mousse or place in the freezer for chocolate ice-cream. The perfect remedy for a sweet tooth.

 

How to make lemon olive oil:

  • Peel an organic lemon or orange (just the top layer, without the rind)
  • Put the peel in the olive oil
  • Leave it for a few days and voila! Zesty olive oil that’s delicious drizzled on salads and soups.

These are just some of the dishes you could learn at our next Italian Getaway.

 

…that’s right, we’re going back to the Amalfi Coast!! And we’d love to take you with us.

 

This is not a large tour-bus type holiday – it’s an intimate retreat for like-minded women. We will fully immerse ourselves in Italian culture. We’ll sample the most exquisite food and wine, go shopping, hiking, and sailing. Leslie will teach you how to make healthy vegan meals so you can bring a taste of Italy back home with you.

It’s Halloween….so what better time to talk ghosts and why they visit us? 

 

What do we mean by this?

 

Well, many of our core beliefs, emotional traumas and even illnesses are passed down from our ancestors in our DNA.

 

Three years ago, podcast producer Roxy had a chance meeting with a clairvoyant who told her about a curse on the women’s side of her family: a curse on love. This made Roxy think about her own relationships…were they too a result of this curse?

 

Do curses really exist?

 

According to Lisa Thomas (also guest of Episode 215), they do.

 

And it’s the result of there being spirits, or ghosts, on the other side of the veil. Some ghosts have never had a body or been to earth, and therefore follow the dark, malevolent side. Some are spirits who have lived on earth before, but who have stayed earthbound – sometimes because of drug addiction, anger, revenge, guilt. Some, however, are assigned as our guardian angels. Others are here because they are trying to teach us something. Some simply don’t know how to get back.

 

Whatever the reason, these ghosts can be cleared. Either through an energy clearing, or by accepting the gift they are trying to communicate. You can free yourself from inherited trauma, as well as free the ghosts from their earthbound nature so they can return to the other side.

 

 

Lisa Thomas is a world-renown transformational energy healer who specializes in healing ancestral DNA and clearing old patterns (as she’s shown in Episode 215).

 

If you want to book a DNA clearing, go to www.foodhealsnation.com/lisa to get on the list. Check out Lisa’s website and get your free meditation to Release Inherited Money Blocks, a great tool to unblock your limiting belief about money, clear your energy and prepare your body for healing.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 228:

  • Do curses exist?
  • What are ghosts?
  • When to burn sage, and when not to
  • Why are souls trapped here?
  • Is our podcast producer psychic?

Life is more than the hustle – life’s about community. It’s about finding your tribe, the people with keys that open up parts of yourself you never knew were there. 

 

Lori Harder grew up without that tribe…

 

…in a small town, in an overweight family who believed they were victims of their genes. She was home schooled and had zero friends outside of her family religion. She was lonely, repressed and depressed. And even though fitness eventually set her free, both in her diet and in her spirit, it was a long journey and full of obstacles. Despite changing her body, winning competitions, and being successful, Lori still couldn’t shake how miserable she felt.

 

This is something so many of us struggle with. We think we’ll be happy when we get that job, lose 10 pounds, get married, buy a house…but if we don’t confront and heal the inner stories that run in our mental background, happiness will always be elusive and short-lived.

 

Lori had to stop and figure out what was blocking her from feeling true joy and lasting happiness. Suddenly she knew she wanted something she’d never had: community. She wanted to give women somewhere to go, a place to feel accepted and connected. 

 

As host of the Earn Your Happy podcast, founder of the Bliss Project, and author of A Tribe Called Bliss, Lori now helps women to find their tribe, connect with their communities, and manifest their dream life.

 

 

Is it possible to manifest your dreams? Yes!

 

By feeling that you’ve already got it, that your life is already where you want it to be. Create a space every day where you can feel what it would be like. Tap into that feeling as often as you can. The physical manifestation will follow naturally. If you want to delve deeper into this, then check out Earn Your Happy Episode 262.

 

Her book A Tribe Called Bliss made us laugh, cry, and get chills. It gives you a blueprint to connect with your tribe, and tells the story of how she overcame one of the most traumatic experiences a woman can go through…(read the book to find out what it was).

 

If you want to connect with yourself and your tribe, then don’t miss Lori’s event The Bliss Project on March 1st to 3rd. Come and have fun, experience deep transformation, release old stories, connect with like-minded women, move your body, and celebrate every realm of yourself.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 227:

  • How to create an awakening shift
  • How Lori overcame being kidnapped
  • Strategies to find balance between hustle and community
  • Tips to creating a successful business
  • Strategies to know what to do with your life
  • The number one thing Lori learned from Gabby Bernstein
  • A life tool that will help you care a little less
  • The most transformative spiritual states and how to get there
  • How to heal faster (and it doesn’t involve food or medicine!)
  • How Lori manifested being a speaker on Oprah’s cruise
  • Could your doing-ness be blocking your dreams?

Sometimes in life, situations happen that make you completely rethink your lifestyle.

 

For Tracey Edmonds, award-winning Hollywood producer, TV presenter and CEO of Edmonds Entertainment Group (and one of the most inspiring businesswomen I know!), this moment came when her dad had a quadruple bypass. And now she’s helping people live their dream life through her new website Alright Now.

 

As he was fighting for his life, she made a vow to get healthy. At the time, she was eating a lot of junk food and taking prescription meds for digestive issues. These issues disappeared when she changed her diet. From the age of 25, Tracey has been on a journey of discovery about nutrition, fitness and spirituality.

 

Two years ago, Tracey lost her mum to an aggressive form of cancer called mesothelioma – and at the same time learned a lot about cancer and how it could be treated. As an outpatient, her mom was having Vitamin C IVs and taking supplements. Her tumors had shrunk by 40%. The second she had to go into hospital full-time, all that had to stop…no Vitamin C transfusions, no supplements – just western-medicine-approved chemotherapy and radiation. Her tumors grew back. She lost the battle against cancer. Just one year later, Tracey’s dad died from a heart attack.

 

Nutrition and alternative healing are hardly talked about in traditional western medicine.

 

Research shows that cancer cells feed on sugar, and yet you’ll find candy on display in chemotherapy centers. Evidence proves Vitamin C helps shrink tumors, and yet this is not part of cancer treatment. Most doctors get no more than a few hours of nutrition training.

 

This is why it’s so important that we do our own research.

 

 

The loss of both her parents to preventable diseases spurred Tracey on to launch a health & wellness website and make the world a better place. Alright Now was born.

 

Alright Now is an amazing resource for anyone wanting to learn about healing and how to live their best life. Health, fitness, parenting, career, relationships – it offers you tools to really thrive. Subscribe to the website and you’ll get amazing discounts on gym memberships, insurance and even restaurants!

 

Tracey’s big message?

  • Don’t procrastinate. Don’t wait.
  • Do some soul searching: What life do you want for yourself? What steps will make it happen?
  • Declare it, Write it, Decide it. – the only limits are those you build up in your mind.

  • The common food to avoid if you have cancer or want to avoid it

Fiona Oakes is one of the most humble, incredible, inspiring people we’ve ever met.

 

At just 3 years old, she went vegetarian. When she was 6 she opted out of all animal products, at a time when being vegan was considered an eating disorder. Her love for animals motivated her to open up an animal sanctuary. But that wasn’t enough: she wanted to do more. In 2004, Fiona launched a running club to show you can be strong on a vegan diet. It also helped bring the word “vegan” to the masses.

 

Since then, she’s broken 3 world records and run countless marathons, including the Marathon des Sables – a 156-mile race through the Sahara Desert(!). This is all the more extraordinary when you find out that she doesn’t have a trainer, doesn’t really enjoy running, AND, oh yeah, has no knee-cap! She’s driven by her love of animals, and her desire to create a more sustainable world.

 

But despite her achievements, mainstream media has kept its distance. In fact, Fiona was even told not to mention her vegan diet on live TV (after she had just broken a world record)!

 

 

Keegan Kuhn, co-creator of Cowspiracy and What the Health, has made it her life mission to change the hush-hush perception around veganism. We all need to use our own voice to elevate the vegan message, and elevate others who are promoting a positive agenda for the world, and the animals. Keegan was raised vegetarian with only two rules: don’t hurt anyone, and question authority. He turned vegan at just 12 – you can find out more about his story on Episode 93.

 

Fiona’s achievements (and her humility) are what made Keegan want to create the documentary Running for Good. He quickly realized the absurdity of a society that praises people for serving their own ego, and yet attempts to silence a person who’s doing incredible things just for the animals. For over twenty years, Fiona’s run over 20 miles a day while looking after 450 animals. She does this all on a vegan diet, to make the world a better place. In short? We think she’s amazing (as if that wasn’t already obvious).

 

Running for Good comes out TODAY! You can watch this film FOR FREE October 11-14th.

Did you know sugar is the new smoking? Or that sugar’s molecular structure is nearly identical to cocaine’s?

 

That’s what makes sugar addictive – and it’s literally everywhere! Over 80% of items in the supermarket contain added sugar – even foods you wouldn’t expect (like crackers, salad dressing, and soup)!

 

In the 80’s, we decided fat was the enemy. We removed the fat from our foods but replaced it with sugar.

 

The result? We got fatter! And sicker. That’s because sugar causes inflammation in the body, and inflammation is the root cause of many diseases, from cardiovascular disease to cancer.

 

So how can we avoid the white stuff but still satisfy our sweet tooth? Swerve Sweeteners offer a natural solution!

 

 

Andress is the CEO and founder of Swerve Sweetener, a New Orleans-based company focused on helping educate people about blood sugar stabilization. With their sweeteners, you can bake to your heart’s content WITHOUT compromising on health. For Andress, health starts with blood sugar balance, because when you control blood sugar, you’ll have:

 

  • Better Energy,
  • Better Weight Management,
  • And Better Mood.

 

What makes a sweetener without all the guilt? Sugar alcohols…but not just any sugar alcohol. Swerve uses a blend of the sugar alcohol erythritol and prebiotic oligosaccharides. The body metabolizes erythritol so much differently than other sugar alcohols like xylitol (which can cause some digestive issues). What’s more, it’s vegan, there’s nothing artificial, no GMO, and no MSG. AND it’s diabetes-friendly!

 

So basically, you can use Swerve in your baking and cooking, guilt-free.  Check out Swerve’s website for some absolutely gorgeous sweet recipes (over 300 of ’em!).

 

And be on the lookout for their newest products: brown sugar, and vegan keto grain-free gluten-free bake mixes for when you need a healthy treat in a hurry.

 

Available in your grocery store or online.

 

What you’ll learn in Episode 224:

  • What links sugar and cocaine(!)
  • Healthy sweeteners you can use in your coffee
  • Why you’re struggling to give up the white stuff
  • Foods you’d never believe contain sugar
  • What you need to know about xylitol – especially if you have pets
  • A sugar-free sugar you can make crème brulée with!
  • How Andress went from radio host to eco-entrepreneur
  • The truth about diabetes and healing it
  • The first thing to do if you have cancer
