It is not intended to be a substitute for informed medical advice or care. You should not use this information to diagnose or treat any health issue without consulting your doctor. Always seek medical advice before making any lifestyle changes.
For nearly 30 years, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s compassionate living philosophy has been propelling plant-based eating into the mainstream and forever changing how we regard animals and treat the planet we live on.
A recognized expert and thought leader on the culinary, social, ethical, and practical aspects of living compassionately, healthfully, and sustainably, she is an award-winning author of eight books — including the bestselling The Joy of Vegan Baking, The 30-Day Vegan Challenge, The Joyful Vegan, and her newest book, A Year of Compassion: 52 Weeks of Living Zero-Waste, Plant-Based, and Cruelty-Free.
Colleen is also an acclaimed speaker, a regular contributor to National Public Radio, and the host of all-inclusive luxury sustainable, vegan, animal-friendly trips around the world. Host/Producer of Food for Thought Podcast (one of the longest running podcasts), Colleen also co-founded the political action committee East Bay Animal PAC to work with government officials on animal issues in the San Francisco Bay Area. She lives in Oakland, CA with her husband David and their adorable cat Michiko. She can be found at JoyfulVegan.com and on Substack at https://colleenpatrickgoudreau.substack.com.
A few words from Colleen about compassion:
In light of relentless natural disasters, escalating political violence, deepening divisions, personal challenges, and a fear that our future lies in the hands of those with opposing interests and values, many people are grappling with an overwhelming sense of despair, anxiety, and powerlessness.
While I understand these reactions, I don’t share them. Even in the face of such challenges, I still have hope.
No, I’m not a mythical creature. No, I’m not delusional. Yes, I’m paying attention.
I have hope because I dwell on what I can solve rather than on what I can’t. I have hope because I don’t do nothing just because I can’t do everything. I have hope because there’s a lot to be hopeful about.
When I first became aware of the critical challenges endangering our planet, our health, and the animals we share it with, I immersed myself in every book, article, bit of content offering solutions to make a difference and alleviate suffering.
I changed habits and adopted behaviors that had the most positive impact on animals, this planet, and my health. And I’ve devoted the last 30 years to helping others do the same, culminating in my newest book, A Year of Compassion: 52 Weeks of Living Zero-Waste, Plant-Based, and Cruelty-Free. Rooted in the ethic of compassion, my book’s prevailing theme is a testament to the fact that we are all connected, that there is good in this world, and that progress is happening all around us—a message most people aren’t hearing enough today.

Dr. Alan Goldhamer is the co-founder of TrueNorth Health Center, a state-of-the-art facility that provides medical and chiropractic services, psychotherapy and counseling, as well as massage and bodywork. He is also director of the Center's groundbreaking residential health education program.
Dr. Goldhamer has supervised the fasts of thousands of patients. Under his guidance, the Center has become one of the premier training facilities for doctors wishing to gain certification in the supervision of therapeutic fasting.
Dr. Goldhamer was the principal investigator in two landmark studies. The first: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Hypertension" appeared in the June 2001 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics. Its publication marked a turning point in the evolution of evidence supporting the benefits of water-only fasting. The second study: "Medically Supervised Water-Only Fasting in the Treatment of Borderline Hypertension," appeared in the October 2002 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Currently, Dr. Goldhamer is directing a team that is developing a prospective study, incorporating random assignment and long-term follow-up on the cost and clinical outcomes in the treatment of diabetes and high blood pressure with fasting and a health-promoting diet.
After completing his chiropractic education at Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon, Dr. Goldhamer traveled to Australia, where he became licensed as an osteopathic physician. He is the author of The Health Promoting Cookbook and co-author of The Pleasure Trap: Mastering The Hidden Force That Undermines Health and Happiness.

Sweet Potato Sundaes and What Gave Me That Extra Push To Go Vegan
In this episode, Laurie Landry joins Chef AJ to show you how to make her decadent yet guilt-free “Sweet Potato Sundae” and to share what finally pushed her to go fully vegan.
Laurie is the author of three vegan recipe books and the founder of Laurie Landry Wellness, where she helps smart, driven women break free from the cycle of medications, doctor’s visits, and frustrating side effects. She empowers them to put their autoimmune disease into remission naturally, using the most effective and sustainable methods.
A self-proclaimed former ice cream and cheese fanatic, Laurie knows firsthand how hard it can be to break free from food addictions and self-sabotage. That’s why she’s passionate about guiding other determined women who are tired of pain, inflammation, and constant fatigue to reclaim their health through holistic lifestyle modifications.
With a "Science of Wellbeing" certification from Yale University, Laurie takes a mind-body approach to healing—focusing on the root cause rather than just masking symptoms.

After 16 years of struggling on and off with PCOS, nutritional deficiencies, digestive health issues and more, Fawn Cyr has reversed all of her health issues, no longer tests for PCOS and has found a new lease on life through lifestyle changes and a homemade plant based diet. In The Vegan Health Bundle, she has contributed her cookbooks “An Oil Free Guide To A Plant Based Lifestyle” and her “7-day PCOS Wellness Program”, which she hopes will help more people live more and suffer less! She has 6 total cookbooks released, which she showcases on her Instagram account (@cookingwithfawn), and she hopes more people realize that anything that can be made from animals can easily be recreated using plants instead!”
