“You want to be with your kids for a long time, but in order for that to happen, you need to be healthy, right? So you have to prioritize when you're younger now so that you can live longer, and then also teach those values to your children so that they can live longer and they don't get sick with disease.” - Neha

Welcome to The Fit Vegan Podcast, I’m your host, Maxime Sigouin! Today, I am speaking with Neha - a mother of three kids, a Ph.D. student, and a yoga teacher. She shares her journey of juggling between responsibilities while prioritizing her health and fitness. It goes to show that it is not about compromising priority given to the family but considering both the family and oneself. By integrating the value of taking care of our bodies, the family lives healthier and better lives together.

Key Quotes

“It's [veganism] a big commitment. And I didn't really know what it would be like… I kind of took a leap of faith. And I'm glad that I did.” - Neha

“Now, I started to track my macros and I can see what I'm eating and I can see how much I need. And that really helps me just understand how the meals are supposed to be formulated.” - Neha

“I don't think that healthy eating has to be complicated. I think that it can just be you can use what you have in your fridge or freezer, and make it work with whatever everybody else is eating. So I think [it’s] just [about] being organized and…plan[ning] ahead.” - Neha

“Working out doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be consistent.” - Neha
