NOTE

Focus on Micronutrients and the American Gut Project

The focus has shifted from macronutrients to micronutrients in advocating for a diet rich in essential micro components like fiber and diverse, colorful foods. The American Gut Project highlighted the significance of consuming over 30 different plant-based whole foods weekly to promote a healthy microbiome. It emphasizes trying new foods, including those disliked in childhood, as tastes evolve, and proper cooking can enhance the flavors of once-hated foods like Brussels sprouts.

Episode notes

Kate Galli is an Australian-based health coach, personal trainer, podcaster, and author.

Today, she shares her journey to a plant-based lifestyle and discusses her book, The Plant Positive Journal, which focuses on self-care and creating lasting positive habit change.

In her early days as a vegetarian coach and trainer in the “bro gym culture,” Kate admits that she was focused heavily on macros and protein, sometimes eating up to 20 egg whites a day. After switching completely to a whole-foods, plant-based diet, she is now happier, healthier, and more well-rounded in her nutrition and training, focusing instead on micronutrients, fiber, and plenty of fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

Today, she and Rip emphasize the importance of leading with love instead of anger and she shares her “ABC” process for transitioning to a more positive mindset:

Awareness
Brainstorm
Commitment

They also talk through her “Seven-Step Guide to Cultivating Self-Care in a Vegan, Plant-based Lifestyle,” which includes prioritizing positive self-talk, aligning choices with values, committing to healthy habits, setting boundaries and prioritizing time with loved ones, as well as the benefits of a digital detox and having realistic expectations of ourselves and others.

Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into self-care, mindset, and nutrition in a plant-based lifestyle, and encourages listeners to embrace compassion and positivity in their journey.
