We talked about environmental activism, the not-for-profit organisation The Lonely Whale, making the world a better place through purpose-driven business, and much more.

In Episode #128, I’m joined by registered dietitians Alexandra Caspero and Whitney English to discuss raising babies and toddlers on a predominately plant-based diet. If you’re wondering why people would consider a predominately plant-based diet for young kids, what the advantages are, and how plant-predominant diets compare to plant-exclusive diets, then this episode is for you. Alexandra, Whitney, and I went over the science of growth and development in plant-based populations and addressed the fear in the media surrounding plant-based diets for children. We also looked at where a plant-based diet could go wrong and they key nutrients of focus. You’ll also hear about the importance of dietary fat, whether soy products are safe for babies and toddlers, and things to consider when using infant formula.For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.  Enjoy, friends. SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.

In Episode #125, I sat down with New York Times bestselling author Darin Olien to chat about his view on human and planetary health, as well as his time spent producing the super popular Down to Earth Netflix show that he co-hosted with Zac Efron. In this episode, we discussed ‘fatal conveniences’ – chemical and plastic exposure from modern conveniences that we all use (tea bags, tap water, spray deodorant, etc.). We also talked about how Down to Earth came to be, working with Zac Efron, the second season of Down to Earth in Australia, solutions to solving climate change, and much more. *DISCLAIMER: As I mention in the introduction, Darin raises some interesting topics in this episode, not all of which are supported by in-depth science due to the nature of the conversation. So take them with a grain of salt. I intend to take a deeper dive into some of these ideas in future episodes – with Darin and other guests – to find out exactly what the science says (fluoride in water for example).For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.  Enjoy, friends. SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.

In Episode #124, I sat down with bestselling author and podcast host Melissa Ambrosini to talk about comparison; or more specifically, how unhealthy comparison can send us into a downward spiral of negative self-talk and low self-esteem. We covered what ‘comparisonitis’ is, why it’s important to be aware of it, its signs and symptoms, and unhealthy versus healthy comparison. Melissa also shares what to do when we notice unhealthy comparison, including some specific strategies from her new book. If you’re a parent, there are also some useful strategies for parents to help kids navigate comparisonitis.For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.  Enjoy, friends. SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.

In Episode #123, I sat back down with Dr Alan Desmond to continue our conversation on all things gut health! Alan shared his path to gastroenterology and what his role as a gastroenterologist entails, as well as the common types of gut health problems he sees in his work and why he recommends a whole-food, plant-based diet to his patients. You’ll also hear some learnings from COVID-19, a recap of some of the important things we need to know about our microbiome, and what foods we should be eating more and less of. We discussed the happiness effect – how food can affect our mood – and how meat affects inflammation in the gut. There’s much more in this episode, including how to manage inflammatory bowel disease and the relationship between gluten and a healthy gut, so I recommend giving it a listen if you want to find out more about good gut health.For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes.  Enjoy, friends. SimonWant to support the show? The best way to support the show is to use the products and services offered by our sponsors.
