Bowl of Life

In this episode, I talk with Sarah from the Pies n' Prose website on how she transitioned to a vegan diet a year ago! This interview is full of all the frequently asked questions regarding how to transition to a vegan diet including, why, how and where vegans get their protein. I love the final words Sarah shares with us as well on being kind and respectful to each other no matter where we are at in our food journey.

On this episode, Sarah talks with Holly Bertone of Pink Fortitude about what is a healthy lifestyle vs. a clean lifestyle. Holly shares her story of fortitude from battling breast cancer and an autoimmune disorder and why she believes that living clean is the best preventative care. She has some great tips on eating cleaner and creating a less toxic environment in your home! In Holly's words, it's just not your diet that needs to be cleaner, it's everything. We couldn't agree more! The best thing at the end of the day though is taking care of your mental health. Holly has some great encouragement on how we can start and end our day with gratitude and her message of how gratitude builds fortitude is inspiring!

In this episode, I talk with Emilie Hebert, founder of the food blog Emilie Eats and The Food Blog Academy and dietetic intern. We discuss the truth about sugar for the average consumer, how our body metabolizes sugar and how it is more important to examine our relationship with sugar than to worry about the type of sugar we are eating.

In this episode, Sarah interviews Rachel Homan about the Anti-Diet movement. Rachel is a senior studying clinical dietetics and is on a mission to help others be more compassionate and embrace Health at Every Size. She challenges us to view health as an individual journey and think outside the box for what may be healthy for one person, might not be for another. If you are struggling with body acceptance or fad diets this episode is one you don't want to miss.

In this episode, Sarah talks with co-owner of Oregon Wild Rice John Langdon.  In the interview we learn about how John and his brother started growing wild rice in Oregon, why wild rice is called rice even though it isn't rice and how wild rice contains twice the amount of plant based protein! This is a great episode to educate you on the benefits of incorporating wild rice into your plant based lifestyle and why supporting local farms such as theirs is very important to continue the farm to table movement. John is bringing a spotlight to Oregon Ag and is passionate about helping other local producers get their products to market. Oregon Wild Rice is also part of the OPES.Green project that brings transparency and accountability to the organic food production process.

In this 'bonus' last episode of season 1 of the podcast, Joe hosts a solo interview with his good friend Mike Selberg. Mike is a pastor, IT director husband and father and lives on an Native American Reservation in North Dakota.
