Could digestive issues be masking a more serious problem? That’s what Kate Kordsmeier found five years ago when she was diagnosed with PCOS. After trying a cocktail of various prescription meds, each with their own slew of side effects to deal with, enough was enough—she decided to heal herself naturally. Kate got off the pill and found a holistic integrative doctor who helped her rebalance her hormones with whole foods and supplements. Although she was originally a skeptic, she was blown away by the results. Just 12 months after she embarked on her holistic health journey, she felt amazing.

 

Kate founded Root + Revel to share her experience and connect more personally with her readers. Her website is packed full of tips on living an 80/20 lifestyle and detoxing your world from chemicals. It provides natural recipes for delicious whole foods and toxin-free skincare and household cleaning products. Kate is all about finding the balance between “good” and “good for you.”

 

What you’ll discover:

  • What the pill does to your hormones.
  • How the pill may be affecting your dating life (without you even realizing it!).
  • Simple tips to eat more naturally (without compromising on flavor).
  • The first steps you can take to start the healing process.
  • Tips to thrive on an 80/20 lifestyle.
  • The best supplements to help PCOS.
  • Kate, Allison and Suzie’s favorite probiotics.
  • Why cleaning products can disrupt your hormones.
  • How to avoid phthalates.
  • Kate’s quick and easy recipe for a nourishing DIY moisturizer.

Tracy Crossley’s Bio

Tracy Crossley is a Master Intuitive based in LA County where she conducts sessions in person, over the phone and through Skype. Her blend of intuition, business acumen, psychology, Reiki, spirituality and subconscious pattern breaking helps people identify their real obstacles and connect emotionally. Her straightforward approach has attracted CEOs, people in work/life transition and other Type A individuals who think intellectualizing problems is the key to solving them (Hint: it isn’t).  Tracy studied neuropsychology and received her BA from Charter Oak State College. She is a Reiki Master and blogger for publications such as Huffington Post and elephant journal.  She is an empathic; clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient, in other words…She really utilize her sixth sense.  

 

In addition, her  mentoring work has run the realm in counseling many folks who have struggled in and out of relationships.The road that lead to becoming a coach/mentor didn’t seem to be on her agenda. Clearly, the Universe had other ideas, and through a series of synchronistic events she trained to become a love coach almost seven years ago. It was an area she struggled most of her life (WHAT WAS LOVE?) from self-loathing as a young girl to not being seen in relationships as she truly was–her trail was strewn with a lot of people pleasing and appearing perfect. As a born intuitive, She always knew things she was the go-to person for advice. It’s funny, for years she had such a fear of getting a reading or anything from another psychic. Over 20 years ago, she had her first reading…only to be told by nearly every psychic that they wanted her to read them instead!  Has she got stories! She has taught classes in meditation, Tarot, vision-boarding, among all the other mentoring workshops.    She  always gives it straight but with a lot of love (and some laughter)!

Leslie Durso’s Bio

A vegan che and healthy living educator, Leslie Durso is the glowing face of a fresher plant-based movement that refuses to compromise style for sustainability.  Walking the plant-based talk since the age of eight, this Southern California native has always been well ahead of the times with her meatless mindset, but the greater populace is now embracing her teachings more than ever.  She currently broadcast her farm fresh recipes and warmhearted sensibilities to an extensive audience spanning more than 130 countries via LeslieDurso.com.

 

After establishing herself as a private chef for the NYC and Hollywood elite, Leslie emerged as a public persona, hosting cooking segments on television and healthy living content online.  Determined to inspire beneficial life-long eating habits for everyone, she has appeared on The Food Network, The Discovery Channel, The doctors, The Hallmark Channel, Everyday Health and Mother Nature Network4 and written for MindBodyGreen, VegNews, CNN.com, Redbook, Glamour, Maxim, and dozens more, evangelizing the benefits of a mindful lifestyle, delivered with her trademark blend of sunshine sophistication and girl next door reliability. Leslie’s persona captivates everyone from carnivorous young men to granola blogging grannies.  Maxim Magazine wrote: “We want to hire Leslie as our own personal chef! We’ll even eat vegetables for her.”

 

Through her multimedia engagement and numerous upcoming initiatives, Leslie plans to spread the love of a plant-based lifestyle to an even broader swath of fans, including mainstream omnivores and fellow millennials.  An established animal advocate, Leslie lends her personality through appearance and promotional support to number of animal welfare organizations including The Humane Society of The United States, Best Friends Animal Rescue and Farm Sanctuary.

So, you’ve decided to go vegan, but where do you begin? Going cold-turkey can be tough, and navigating through the complicated online recipes and lists of unfamiliar ingredients can be frustrating! This is where today’s guest, actress turned celebrity chef and healthy living educator, Leslie Durso, steps in.

 

Leslie has been walking the plant-based path since the age of 8! Her love of cooking began as she veganized her family’s traditional Italian dishes. Despite being a gourmet vegan chef (and we testify to her talents – the cupcakes she brought us were divine!), Leslie focuses on providing easy, accessible and tasty plant-based recipes that anyone can make.

 

Leslie has combined her love of food and education to bring the message of healthy living to the world, one cupcake at the time. Her approach is inclusive; her goal is to get everyone to simply eat more vegetables and to help people find their food-spot, the diet and lifestyle that works for them. Leslie doesn’t believe there are any incurable diseases—what you put into your body is exactly what you’re going to get out.

 

What you’ll discover:

  • Why Leslie ate 32 cupcakes in one sitting.
  • What makes Leslie a vegan chef with a difference.
  • The way food perception can change what the food does to your body.
  • Why certain studies can’t be trusted, and how to get the full story.
  • How to convince and promote positive change through love.
  • The only question you need to ask to find out whether your cosmetics are safe.
  • How to make your own vanilla extract (it’s amazing in cupcake frosting OR cocktails!)
  • Why hybrid cars may not be that sustainable after all, and a more eco-friendly option.
  • How your diet can make a bigger impact on the planet than anything else.
  • Leslie’s favorite vegan make-up brands.

This sexy, savvy duo provides eco-friendly advice on a variety of issues including the healing power of nutrition, living authentically, turning your passion into your career, choosing the best natural health and beauty products, the benefits of a plant-based diet and so much more!

Are you a healthy vegetarian? Or do you fill your shopping basket with Oreos and mac & cheese? Prior to going vegan a few years ago, Jasmin Singer had hardly ever eaten a vegetable. “I pushed them around my plate, 5-year- old-style.” Even after she embarked on her vegan lifestyle, her diet still centered around unhealthy junk foods. Until one day, she discovered juicing through Joe Cross’s film Fat Sick and Nearly Dead. She went from being obese, exhausted and on the road to heart disease to freeing herself from food addiction, losing 100 pounds and feeling on top of the world!

 

Having experienced bullying first hand, Jasmin is now determined to fight for the underdogs that cannot fight for themselves. She’s a passionate advocate for animal rights and founder of Our Hen House, a nonprofit that helps activists create independent media and change the world.

 

Jasmin’s inspiring and witty new book Always Too Much and Never Enough explores her search for personal authenticity through juicing, veganism and love.

 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • How to go from unhealthy vegan to thriving plant-based vegan.
  • How to stop using food to manage your emotions.
  • How Jasmin lost 100 pounds.
  • Why numbers on the scale are only a tiny part of the weight loss journey.
  • How Jasmin adapted juicing to train for a half marathon.
  • Why you need to chew your juice.
  • How Jasmin stays healthy on the road.
  • How to change your perspective in one simple move.
  • How to motivate yourself to work out.
  • The best black eyeliner (not tested on animals of course!).

 

Jasmin’s top tips for staying healthy on the road:

  • Make sure you get your veggies in first thing in the morning – make yourself a green smoothie.
  • If you don’t have a travel blender, most motels offer plain oatmeal. Add a bit of fruit and you’ve got yourself a super healthy breakfast!
  • Get outside every day, and move your body.
  • Split dessert (or if you want to enjoy a whole dessert to yourself, don’t judge yourself for it or feel guilty!).

 

About Always Too Much and Never Enough:

“One woman’s journey to find herself through juicing, veganism, and love, as she went from fat to thin and from feeding her emotions to feeding her soul.”

From the extra pounds and unrelenting bullies that left her eating lunch alone in a bathroom stall at school to the low self-esteem that left her both physically and emotionally vulnerable to abuse, Jasmin Singer’s struggle with weight defined her life.

Most people think there’s no such thing as a fat vegan. Most people don’t realize that deep-fried tofu tastes amazing and that Oreos are, in fact, vegan. So, even after Jasmin embraced a vegan lifestyle, having discovered her passion in advocating for the rights of animals, she defied any “skinny vegan” stereotypes by getting even heavier.

More importantly, she realized that her compassion for animals didn’t extend to her own body, and that her low self-esteem was affecting her health. She needed a change. By committing to monthly juice fasts and a diet of whole, unprocessed foods, Jasmin lost almost a hundred pounds, gained an understanding of her destructive relationship with food, and finally realized what it means to be truly full.

Told with humble humor and heartbreaking honesty, this is Jasmin’s story of how she went from finding solace in a box of cheese crackers to finding peace within herself.
