E033: My Personal Journey to a Plant-Based Life - the Magic & the Confusion

Here's one I haven't done in a while - a solo episode! In this episode I've decided to share my personal journey to a plant-based life and what I've dealt with through all of that; the why's behind it, the magic that came with it, but also a lot of the confusion when I first started out. Because the thing is that's it's easy to forget how hard things were on an early stage and how confusing it can be when you first start out. When I first thought about going vegan four years ago I was as far away from that lifestyle as you can possibly be. I was a gym junky downing protein-shakes like my life depended on it and I counted every calorie that I ate. No-one in my family or in my group of friends were vegans or even vegetarian and I had never been introduced to the idea of living a plant-based life. But by changing one habit at the time and by asking for help I made it happen in only three months and I can *HONESTLY* say that since that day my life hasn't been the same. So this episode is a way for me to share my journey in order to hopefully be able to help you start yours.Mentioned in the episode: Plant-Based vs Vegan - what's the difference? My story - how I went from omnivore to vegan in only 3 months Unexpected gains!!!

E026: Sustainable Yoga Wear? Find Out Why You Should Care with Lifestyle & Fashion Brand Vyayama

Do you care about your health? Do you find it important to work out, eat right and stay mindful and balanced? Then my next question is, have you ever asked yourselves what’s in your clothes? Because if you haven’t, you might wanna start doing that now! Because the truth is that the garments that we wear are filled with tons of toxins and that the skin, which is our body’s biggest organ, will absorb. So how is it that we know so much about the food we put in our bodies, the products we apply on our skin, and the energies we surround ourselves with in terms of co-workers and friends, but no-one talks about the fact that we walk around wearing toxins all day? In this episode with Annette, the Design Director at Ethical & Sustainable active-wear brand Vyayama, we talk about the importance of knowing what your clothes are made of. Not just for your own health but for the future of our planet as well.
