The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 51 - Nicci Gafen - Organic or Bust
Nicci is an outspoken advocate for an organic, vegan lifestyle. She has been eating organic foods exclusively for the last 12 years and swears by the benefits she's seen in herself, her friends, and her clients. She's worked with top MMA fighters helping them cut weight, stay fit, and sustain energy. Nicci has run a few different businesses revolving around organic foods and juices, always focusing on and promoting the benefits to as many people as possible. Nowadays, Nicci focuses more on working with organic farmers, trying to promote local foods as much as she can - giving lesser-known farmers their duly deserved shine.
Nicci and I had a very fun conversation about food, and the disconnection we have from what is on our plates. We also chatted about her lifestyle, daily habits, and how being disciplined in her health regime is key for her (Nicci's day starts with waking up early, followed by a swim in the ocean, and her daily green juice). We discussed Australia's coffee scene, how she got healthy on an organic, vegan diet, and we also dipped into a conversation (pardon the pun) about cold immersions.
Enjoy The Episode!
My Take: We should all be more connected to the food we eat, I believe it will give us a healthier perspective and appreciation for the people that grow it, and the process it goes through to reach our plate. Organic vs non-organic is a no-brainer - we should all strive to eat more local, more organic, more sustainable, fewer monocultures, and more seasonal, if possible.
