Joel Kahn

IN THIS EPISODE: At his core, Dr. Joel Kahn believes that plant-based nutrition is the most powerful source of preventative medicine on the planet.

These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. He passionately lectures throughout the country about the health benefits of a plant-based anti-aging diet inspiring a new generation of thought leaders to think scientifically and critically about the body’s ability to heal itself through proper nutrition. One of the world’s top cardiologists, Dr. Joel Kahn has treated thousands of acute heart attacks during his career. He’d like all that to stop. He’d like to prevent ALL future heart attacks by breaking through to the public to educate and inspire a new holistic lifestyle. LOOKING FOR AWESOME PLANT-BASED MEAL PLANS?

Geoffrey Palmer

Geoffrey Palmer is a vegan bodybuilder. Sometimes those two words (vegan and bodybuilder) don't seem like they go together since most of America thinks we get our protein from meat. Geoff has been doing this for 31 years and was vegan before it was "cool" to be vegan. With a degree in biopsychology and a passion for fitness, Geoff has created and trademarked some of the best muscle-promoting products on the market. He is the CEO and Founder of the Clean Machine line of products. The great thing about all of his products is that they are made from plants and make your body more efficient at digesting and using protein. Imagine having to drink less protein, but making it more efficient with essential digestive enzymes your body needs to do the work that it needs to do in order to optimize your nutrition! I learned more talking to Geoff than I have learned in quite a while on protein, how it works in the body and how to most effectively promote the growth of strong muscle tissue. Enjoy!

#87: Sophia from Veggies Don't Bite

In This Episode:  As a busy family of five, our journey to a vegan diet has been one of patience, compassion and love. At times, however, even the most patient person can feel frustrated when they are met with someone who questions the way they eat. Food is very personal and as parents, it’s our job to teach our kids not only how to choose a life of compassion and caring by eating a vegan diet, but also to encourage our kids to lead by example and be open to inclusive conversations about the way they eat, rather than shaming or judging others who might not eat the same as us. 1. Educate Your Kids At Home On Why You Have Chosen To Eat A Vegan Diet Education starts at home. I have found that a healthy combination of education and what I call “parental marketing,” helps my kids connect to the food they are eating and the health benefits associated with it. The education portion to me is the “why.” Why has your family chosen to live a vegan lifestyle? Talk through this with your kids and really make sure they fully understand why your family has chosen this path. Talk about why animals are here on the planet and how smart they are. Read children’s books that promote positive images around animals. Tell your kids how proud you are of them for making their own decision to live this way and how, as a family, you are an unstoppable force of love and compassion for all living things. When your kids truly understand why they are doing what they are doing, they will be prepared to answer questions and handle tough situations when they encounter them at school. The parental marketing I mentioned earlier is the fun stuff and usually occurs after we eat a meal. I like to tell my young kids to show me their muscles after they eat certain foods. For instance, if I see my son take a bite of broccoli, I will notice how big his muscles grew and ask him to flex them for me. I also explain how he is getting a wonderful amount of protein in his body with each and every bite, which helps his muscles grow big and strong like his favorite superhero! With the right combination of education and parental marketing, you will be ready to take on the world!   2. Have Your Kids Make Their Own Vegan-Powered Lunch Every Day In a rush to get lunches packed and out the door on time? Don’t just have your kids pack their own lunches, but have them pack the majority of their lunch the night before! Set the lunch boxes out on the counter and load them up with your favorite vegan snack foods that don’t require refrigeration. Maybe your kids like fruit juice vegan gummies or maybe they have a favorite juice box flavor. If they personally have a say in what goes into their lunch every day, they are much more likely to eat it when it comes time for lunch at school. Stock the fridge with fresh, pre-cut fruits and veggies for them to choose from to stock in their lunches. Reusable plastic lunchware is great for fruits and veggies and most of them come with small, separate dip or dressing compartments for your child’s favorite dipping sauce!   3. Communicate Your Vegan Diet Clearly To Your Child’s Teacher When your diet and lifestyle is a choice rather than an allergy, it can be confusing for teachers, who are constantly used to parents and kids telling them that they cannot have a certain food due to health reasons. When you meet your teacher, ask if you can talk with them sometime about the way you eat. You might even have to remind the teacher what a vegan diet is. In our family, we simply say “our family eats no animal products of any kind, including eggs, dairy and meat.” While that is a pretty basic message, it seems to resonate well with many teachers. Informing teachers how you eat is just the beginning. The next thing that will happen is that the teacher might feel a bit overwhelmed. The thoughts of “what can I feed your child?” will creep into their mind. You can almost see it happen on their faces! This is an opportunity to make their life easier by simply offering to bring in a vegan option for any and all special parties or events in exchange for her letting you know when such event will happen. Even just one day’s notice is great for a busy vegan parent, who usually has a frozen cupcake or two stowed away in the freezer for times like this! You might even give the teacher a “secret stash” of vegan cookies for those times when an impromptu party happens.   4. Encourage Your Vegan Kids Find Other Vegan Friends and Faculty Members Once you tell a teacher at your school that your kids are vegan, the word will spread fast. This is a good thing. Chances are high that your child is NOT the only vegan kid in the school. In fact, if you look hard enough, I’ll bet you will be able to find a vegan teacher or faculty member too! Having a fellow vegan kid to relate to and just give a high five every now and then, even if they are in another class, is always a good thing for your kids.  We once had a staff member come up to my (then five-year-old) daughter and say “Hey I am gonna try this vegan diet thing.” What a huge win! 5. Think Outside The Box When It Comes To Class Projects Do your kids have a science project due? How about a book report? Why not do a project or book report on a vegan subject? With your kids having the option to choose what they read or report on, this is an excellent opportunity for them to present their vegan lifestyle in a non-threatening, welcoming way. It might even inspire others to pursue this way of life. Have fun diving into the science behind why a vegan diet works for the planet and how many animal lives are saved each year by eating this way.   Food For Thought With the right combination of marketing, education, communication, and hands-on experience, your kids will have the tools they need to become proud representatives of the vegan movement! Our kids are beacons of light and positivity. While we know that most kids would choose a vegan lifestyle if they were to learn the details about what their “chicken fingers” were actually made of, some might have a more difficult time making the connection…and that’s ok. We have to do the best job we can to arm our kids with the right amount of knowledge and confidence to go forward and wave their “vegan flag” proudly for all to see.

#139: How To Help Your Vegan Kids Thrive In A NON-Vegan Environment

IN THIS EPISODE: Eating food and the events that surround eating food can be very emotional. As a child, my mom cooked warm meals for me all the time. Of course it tastes great and feels great to eat, but I see now more than ever how satisfying it is for the parent to know that their child is eating a nourishing, satisfying meal. When my family decided to adopt a plant-based lifestyle, it was a tough transition for both sides of our extended family. It seemed to happen in phases. First came questions of clarity on what we were not “allowed” to eat. Then came the question of why, which was shortly followed by frustration, anger, sadness, and a bunch of other emotions. Did this mean that family dinners at our house were cancelled? How would we eat out at a restaurant together? Can our family give our kids a cookie if they want it? What about Grandma’s special treat jar? These and many other questions are all valid and must be addressed one by one with your family.

#146: Plant Power Dad Hour With Cory Warren & Gabriel Miller - When You Or Your Kids Are Approached By Negativity

Greens look weird. In fact, they taste weird too. I mean seriously. To our kids, eating something out of the ground that was in the dirt doesn’t make a lot of sense, right? I mean, if our kids are used to eating fast food, quick-fix meals that are high in carbs and sugar, it makes total sense for them to be freaked out by a pile of leaves on their plate. These struggles are very real, but the thing we need to remember is that just because something is hard, doesn’t mean that we stop trying. In fact, we have tried a few things that have been extremely successful in getting our kids to eat green vegetables…especially leafy greens. I hope some of these might help you and your family climb aboard the “Green Veggie Train.”
