In this episode, I talk with Dr. Melissa Sundermann who shares with us the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine: whole food/plant-based diet, daily movement, restorative sleep, avoidance of risky behaviors (such as tobacco, excessive alcohol, drug use), stress management, social connection and daily exposure to nature and fresh air.

In this episode, I talk about the differences in eating plant based for performance and weight loss. Enjoy! 

In this episode, Brad and I talk about his journey from addiction to plant based endurance athlete, mindset, tips and tools for fighting negative self talk, and more! Enjoy! 

Do you know if you should supplement? What you should take as supplements? Why or who should take supplements? If you have these questions, you'll get your answers! 

In this episode we break down what the 3 main macronutrients are, their importance as an endurance athlete, food sources, how much you need to be eating, and we discuss tracking.

Dr. Akil Taher and we talked about his journey and gives us all so much wisdom! At 61 years young, he actually started living! As a practicing physician, he writes in his book about his experience with heart disease, a near death experience, depression, medical issues, etc. and how he changed his life around through diet and exercise. Specifically a whole-food plant-based diet and marathons. He goes from being a couch potato to running up Mount Kilimanjaro!
