- E021: Educate Yourself on Plant-Based Health and a Mindful Diet with Marc Wood
What's the real deal about protein? How much does one actually need per day and can we get enough from only eating plants? According Marc Wood, the nightclub boss who decided to go vegan 6 years ago and who started doing Triathlons at age 48, you absolutely can. He's now also a certified nutrition health coach guiding people at the gym how to build muscles and stay healthy on a plant-based diet and lifestyle. Listen to find out why Marc found the vegan route to be an easy choice and learn why plant-based proteins are the future.
Marc stopped eating meat at age 23 when he went to see an animal rights convention in Earls Court, London, where he for the first time became aware of the suffering and cruelty animals are subjected to. After eventually meeting a vegan friend several years later who educated him on the dangers of dairy and the cruelty that industry, it was an easy step to skip the T in vegetarian and go fully vegan. From volunteering at the Hospice of New York, Marc witnessed people suffering from a lot of diseases, which got him thinking about why so many people in the western world die from cancers and heart-related problems. He began educating himself on the causes of such diseases and today he's a certified Family Health Coach and helps others by going into their homes and giving lessons on how to cook tasty and nutritious plant-based meals.

49 min - E020: Easy Steps to Vegan - Tips and Trix from Plant-Based NYC Chef Leonid Rusanov
Want to learn how to make chocolate ice-cream out of sweet potatoes? Then tune into this fun episode with New York model and Vegan Chef Leo Rusanov. As we share the floor in his Harlem apartment we talk about both of our journeys to a plant-based life; how they started, what changes we went through and how it made us feel. We kill some typical "vegan myths" and Leo shares why he at first was afraid of the term "vegan". Are you curious about changing to a plant-based diet but don't really know how? Then I hope this episode can help you get that journey started!
Leo is a Russian guy who moved to New York six years ago. When he about 16 months ago (by accident, almost) got introduced to the plant-based kitchen when assisting a chef, he found himself introduced to a whole new world. He got to eat all she prepared and was amazed by how good vegan food could be, and he thought to himself "why should I ever need to eat anything else?" In other words, Leo became vegan simply because he loved the food so much! But being a model and a man, of course, he struggled with some of the doubt that everyone asks themselves. Will I get enough protein? Will I lose a lot of weight? Will I be able to find enough things to eat? Well, listen to find out...
Instagram: @VeganChefLeo Facts from the Episode:
One thing that vegans might be lacking is B12, and it's essential that you make sure that you get enough. Most groceries of lifestyle stores carry B12 supplements and one pill a day usually makes it (be careful not to buy the ones with gelatine in them though - NOT VEGAN!) There's also one other life-saver out there and it's called Nutritional Yeast - cheesy in its flavor and goes with lot's of food! (Listen to recipes for directions).

49 min - E018: Wearing Roadkill and Voting with Your Wallet - A Talk with Sustainable Fashionista Cora HiltsWould you ever wear roadkill? What does it mean to vote with your wallet? Could it actually be fun to help save the world? In today’s talk with sustainable fashionista Cora Hilts, we put end to some confusion that is Ethical and Sustainable fashion. I mean, what is really the difference between recycled, upcycled and something that’s sustainably made? What does it mean that a piece of clothing is organic?? Is vintage is in our out and is it ok to claim yourself the title of a hero?WHO IS CORA?Cora Hilts who is one of the co-founders of British fashion store RêveEnVerte – a hip and trendy place for consuming ethical and sustainable fashion online. She founded the company together with her partner Natasha four years ago, in response to the evolving nature of contemporary style, something they both felt to be a bit too consumptive and trend-based for their taste. Rêve-En-Vert is their commitment to bettering the world through the medium of fashion and lifestyle. It is a project of passion to support designers who are improving the standards of the design industry.Inspired to try out some sustainable fashion?

Don’t miss out!!CORA’S RETRUTH:The idea that one person can’t make a change. I think that that has actually been my biggest fear this whole journey of creating Reve, believing that I as an individual don’t have the capacity to do enough. But when I look back on what I’ve been able to achieve over the last 4 years I know I’ve done some good.I mean, look at Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela and right now Elon Musk. They’ve really been showing us that yes, a single individual can really have a huge impact on the world, and never think that you can’t be that individual.Don’t forget to follow them on Instagram: @RevEnVert

55 min - E017: Health, Habits and Good Cravings - A Talk with Health Coach Sandrina Bencomo
Allergies, digestive issues, fatigue, stress. Unfortunately, these are all terms that are becoming more and more common in today's world. In my talk with model and integrative nutrition health coach Sandrina Bencomo, we put some light on these commonalities and highlight how that doesn't have to be your destiny, and that you have the power in your hands to decide the life you want to live.
Is it normal to feel tired after we eat, or is that's just a reality we've accepted? A reality we can change? And how can we connect with our bodies and become each other's best friend? Sandrina shares some of her valuable coaching advice and teaches us how there's, for example, no such thing as a bad craving.
Sandrina Bencomo is a beautiful person from the inside out with her roots from Venezuela. She’s a model with Elite Models in New York and she’s also a certified nutrition and health coach. She started her own journey to integrative health when she struggled with a bunch of different things she couldn't find help for. When she realized there weren't answers to be given anywhere, she decided to seek them up herself and once and for all gain power over her own life.

34 min - E014: How to be Cool & Thoughtful and Fabulously Vintage - a Girltalk with TedX Speaker Kerrin Smith
How do we react when we realize that we may not be as healthy as we thought? When is a habit becoming obsessive, and how can we change our ways of being in order to take care of ourselves in better ways? In today’s girl talk with life philosopher, TEDx Speaker, and total babe Kerrin Smith, we talk about everything the Universe has brought to our attention right now. We also discuss the meaning of the word empathy, and how it’s so different to rebel against something bad opposed to standing for something good, even though the underlying cause may be the same.
Kerrin Smith is the founder COOL AND THOUGHTFUL™ and its predecessor CATiD LLC, a passion project with the mission to redefine what it means to be cool. In 2014 she delivered a TEDx talk, The Local Economy of Fashion, and she's all about making that vintage chic look feel just right. If you're in NYC and see a girl wearing sneakers with colorful ribbons, that might just be her!

38 min - E013: How to Love Yourself and Live Compassionately with Fashion Model Renee Peters
How can we learn to care about sustainable fashion in a cool and modern way? Do we have to let go of trends and style just because we happen to also care for our planet? Tune into this episode with model activist Renee Peters as we talk about just that and also how to love yourself in the life of an eco-warrior. Do sustainability and positive body image go together? Or do you have to actively practice both to seek that important balance of compassion and self-love?
Learn how Renee has struggled with society's image of a "sample size", and how that at the same time has helped her learn how to love and respect her own body. She shares with us her view on sustainable living, and how adopting such a life actually helped her find her identity and figure out who she truly wants to be.
Renee Peters is a model, living and working in New York City, and an advocate of sustainable living. She strives to be a role model in all that she does, using her platform for positive change. Her blog, Model4GreenLiving, seeks to reshape the way people think about environmental issues and show that it’s cool to care. She uses her social media to send a message of self-love and body-positivity and to encourage mindful, sustainable living. Renee loves to volunteer, is an environmental activist, and a budding philanthropist in her free time.

What does it mean to speak up for sustainable fashion? And how can you make a change, right now, starting with where you are knowing nothing but the fact that you want to change? Join me for a trip to the Financial District in Manhattan as I visit model and social activist Britt Bergmeister for a chat on her living room floor. Behind closed doors, we get down to the girliest of girly and talk about everything from model life, hormones, women empowerment, sustainable fashion and how we both are just a little bit too obsessive with planning our days.
Learn how modeling has made Britt become the business woman she now is, how she's constantly learning and wanting to share as she goes, and also how she still to this day is insecure about her body, looks and what she's supposed to do next (Girls, we're all in this together...)
