“If you consider us to be energy and we’re vibrating with everything around us… how can we expect to vibrate and connect with living things outside of us if we’re consuming dead matter.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the spectacular Sarah Lea. Sarah is a Los Angeles based model, vegan activist, and animal whisperer. We talk about Sarah's life growing up around animals in South Africa and the innate connection she had with them, what brought her to the US, how she became an animal communicator, some of the experiences she's had communicating with animals, the shift that takes place when you remove animal products from your diet, the health benefits she experienced since going vegan, her Instagram approach to activism, her conservation efforts in South Africa, and why she struggles just like everyone else does. Sarah is such a cool person and an amazing testament to vegan living.Show NotesSarah’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesarahlea/Wild Wellness Weekend Retreat: https://www.wildbutwell.com/wild-but-well-wild-wellness-weekend

“Every moment is precious. I’m keenly aware of getting older and my mortality… why would I want to waste any minute checked out when I can check in?… Why would I live in fear when life is so short?”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the stupendous Darbi Gwynn. Darbi is a Los Angeles based actress, stunt woman, model, and vegan and sober lifestyle advocate. We talk about how Darbi was exposed to health at a young age, how she was also exposed to drugs and alcohol at a young age, how she found herself as a homeless teenager, how sobriety and being of service lead her to veganism, why seeking validation can be abusive, the dire state of the world's oceans, why plastic straws are not the problem but eating animals is, how we are currently in the 6th mass extinction, her experience at vigils outside of slaughterhouses, why she is keenly aware of her mortality and wants to be checked in for every moment she has, and so much more. Stop what you're doing and listen to this (especially if you’re not up to speed on the current state of the planet we live on)!

Shawn is the owner of the Green Light juice and smoothie bar in downtown Hingham, my local watering hole. Shawn was a guest on the show a while back, to get his full story check out Episode 30.

We talk about what sparked my journey into plant-based eating, what resources I found that help me along the way, why I started Rewild and where we're at with the brand, what my daily routine looks like, how I define success, and why your health and wellness is not about you. If you're a long-time listener and sick of hearing my story and outlook, go ahead and skip this one and instead head to the Green Light for a "Shawn Special!”Show NotesWild But Well Retreats: https://www.wildbutwell.com/Wild But Well Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildbutwell/Green Light Website: https://thegreenlighthingham.com/Green Light Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegreenlighthingham/

“It’s hard not to preach because when you feel the way you feel, you want other people to feel that same way.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the one and only Bruce Namenson. Bruce is the founder of Healthy Truth and Organic Living Superfoods, two premier raw plant-based packaged food brands. Bruce also makes all of the TB12 packaged food products. That's right, the GOAT himself, now six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, trusts Bruce to produce his plant-based products. That's how incredible and high-quality all of the products Bruce is behind. We talk about Bruce's personal health journey and all about Healthy Truth. We talk about their mission, their product line, how they source ingredients from all over the world, and much more. I can personally tell you, as a plant-based food snob, I loved all these products. They're raw, clean, and amazingly flavorful, right up my alley. My personal favorite is the buffalo ranch nut clusters!Show NotesHealthy Truth Website: https://healthytruth.com/Healthy Truth Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthytruthfoods/

"When you eat animal products, they don't get fully digested and you end up with impacted intestines. This prevents the absorption of nutrients to the blood stream, especially oxygen. When your bloodstream is deprived of oxygen, it creates a breeding ground for cancer. Cancer cells cannot survive in an oxygenated state. It all starts with the intestines."On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the man, the myth, the legend David O'Brien. For those that have followed the podcast for a while, you're likely familiar with Dave. This marks his third time on the podcast (Episodes 22 and 57) and each time I learn something new. If you're not familiar with Dave's journey from a beer drinking meatball sub eating roofer to a health pioneer, I highly recommend you listen to those previous episodes, it is incredibly inspiring. Dave is the founder of Dave's Raw Food and one of the foremost experts in human nutrition on the east coast. I polled my Instagram followers for questions they wanted me to ask Dave, and here's some of the main things what we talked about:Is everyone different? Does one thing that works for one person not work for another?Why after years of traveling the country learning from the leading experts in human nutrition did you end as a raw plant-based eater?Why are the intestines so important for your body to stay healthy?What's more important - giving up animal products or adding more whole plant foods into your diet?Will you be lacking anything on a plant-based diet? Specifically we talk B12. (I learned something new here!)Is fasting and intermittent fasting good for you?How does the energy in food and the energy from those who made it impact it's effect on us?Trust me, this is a MUST listen episode!Show NotesDave’s Raw Food Website: https://davesrawfood.com/Dave’s Raw Food Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davesrawfoods/

“Ayurveda in a nut shell is to avert the danger that has not yet come. Being in tune with your body and nature that when you start to feel the funk, you can adjust in a certain way that you avert the danger that has not yet appeared.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with my new friend and co-worker Rachel Warnock. Rachel is an Ayurvedic expert, wellness consultant, entrepreneur, and boat racer. I'd like to note that "boat racer" was not a typo... We talk about Rachel's upbringing in the meat and cheese filled state of Wisconsin, how she was exposed to eastern medicine as a child, what Ayurveda is and the principles behind it, the Ayurvedic beliefs around food and how it impacts our health, her secret life as a high speed boat racer, and much more. Rachel is an incredibly positive and knowledgable person and I have very much enjoyed getting to know her.Show NotesRachel’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raychile22/Rachel’s Boat Racing: https://www.instagram.com/usateamracing/Rachel’s Vedic Botanicals Body Products IG: https://www.instagram.com/vedicbotanicals/Rachel’s Vedic Botanicals Body Products: https://yourvedicbotanicals.com/

“In situations, our brains hone in on those negative potential outcomes… we often forget that something good can actually happen.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with my old friend Brian Sachetta. Brian's claim to fame is that he was the original designer of the super successful dating app, Hint (for those that know my background, I'm obviously joking haha!). Hint was my first ever venture, and after working with Brian on it, we've stayed in contact and shared similar entrepreneurial and health journeys. What I didn't know about Brian is that he's battled anxiety over the years, something so many of us can relate to. In order to overcome it and skip the all too often prescribed drugs, he's developed a number of practical tactics that can be applied by anyone. Brian's life experience with anxiety, the latest research on anxiety, and steps to overcome it are all covered in his new book Get Out Of Your Head: A toolkit for living with and overcoming anxiety, which is now available on Amazon. This is an awesome conversation about a topic that we all should talk more openly about. We all experience anxiety of some kind and Brian's experiences and techniques most definitely will have a positive impact on many.Show NotesBrian’s Book - Getting Out of Your Head: https://www.amazon.com/Get-Out-Your-Head-Overcoming-ebook/dp/B07L5Z6V75Brian’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bsachetta/

“Whenever that fear comes up and I’m questioning whether I can do something or not or I’m scared to do something… that’s exactly the direction I need to go.”On this week's episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I'm sharing an episode I did on the amazing Casey Edward's podcast called I Can't Wait To Tell You. Casey is a sought after life and meditation coach and wellness blogger originally from the Boston area. On her podcast she covers all kinds of topics, from manifesting your dreams to relationships with yourself, other people, food, and much more. Since knowing her, she's taught me a lot about things like the law of attraction and meditation. I had the pleasure of being a guest on her podcast and sharing my story, how I handle fear, how I approach tackling my goals, my morning meditation routine, and all kinds of fun stuff.Show NotesCasey Edward Website: https://www.caseyedward.com/I Can’t Wait To Tell You Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-cant-wait-to-tell-you/id1416218499?mt=2Casey’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casey_edward/
