In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Mandi Dawson about lupus, celiac disease and cosmetics. She has made many changes in her life due to her celiac and lupus diagnosis. She went from a junkier vegan diet to a more healthy, plant-based vegan diet to help battle her health issues. Today she tells us a bit of this story and lets us know about the creams, soaps and makeup we may be putting on our bodies. Mandi shares the effects they have on us and how we can make more compassionate choices for the animals, the world and ourselves. And yes, men, this is for you too! So don't go anywhere and share it with anyone in your life who is not using clean, vegan cosmetics. Mandi Dawson is a Canadian/British makeup artist and total beauty lover. She was a child model from the age of 1 and was exposed to makeup from a very early age. She is now a beauty blogger at The Beauty Edition.

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Alex Ciccone about strength training, powerlifting and the mental edge. Alex has an amazing presence in the Instagram world and we have been following each other for a while. We were able to meet face to face at the Animal Justice event in December and immediately hit it off. Today we talked about a few interesting things. We talked about his journey to Veganism, his soccer career and how he got into men's physique and powerlifting competitions. We hit the topics of nutrition for building muscle as well as the "P" word…protein. Whether you're 15 or 50 there is something to be taken away in this episode. It's a good share for anyone who hits the gym. Alex Ciccone is a vegan lifestyle social media influencer who found his love for spreading awareness soon after going vegan over 4 years ago. His primary reason was for the ethical treatment of animals. Alex provides education and entertainment through different creative content across Instagram, his blog, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat (and coming soon a YouTube channel). Whether it be vegan infographics, news stories, memes and everything between, for Alex it's about keeping things positive and loving. He wants to not only align with vegan values, but also to reach as many individuals as possible and help in their journey to being or becoming vegan. Alex has a particular interest in fitness as he grew up playing competitive level soccer. After falling in love with strength training, he became a certified personal trainer. Fitness is a very important part in his story of becoming vegan – as he uses this motivation to debunk the myth that vegans are "weak and malnourished". That lead Alex to compete in a men's physique competition as a vegan and pursue powerlifting. At the end of the day it is always about spreading awareness for Alex – to show all the amazingness that the vegan lifestyle has to offer! In this episode we discuss: Win, win, win Growing up playing soccer Animal-based protein The vegan journey and people's reactions The fluffy bunny The mental edge and change Teens and making good choices Complete protein Men's physique and powerlifting Supplements Creatine Infographics Hunger cues How can parents help?

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to The Buddhist Chef, Jean-Philippe Cyr, about the meaning of compassion and how it extends beyond the food we eat. He explains how Buddhism is the path to vegan eating and how the foods we prepare can affect your overall psyche. Of course we talk about his amazing website and all the videos he produces to make vegan cooking easy for anyone. He points out that people often feel defeated before they even begin because the ingredient lists are too long or the recipe pictures are too beautiful. He hopes to help everyone bring tasty vegan cooking to their homes that anyone will be happy eating regardless of which food groups they normally consume. And you will be really interested to hear what he has to say about soy. Please share this episode on social media as it is "soy" good. Jean-Philippe (a Quebec native, just like us) has been Buddhist for over 20 years. He attended the École hôtelière de la Capitale in Quebec City where he excelled in French cuisine and classic techniques. After graduating he apprenticed, among other establishments, at the acclaimed French restaurant Le Saint-Amour. He then continued to evolve as a chef and master cooking techniques in gourmet restaurants in Quebec, including The Capitole, a renowned dining establishment. Now, he shares his passion and what he has learned with all of his subscribers and followers via his website The Buddhist Chef / La Cuisine de Jean-Philippe in which he publishes simple and tasty vegan recipes as easy-to-follow video tutorials! When he's not in the kitchen, he loves spending time with his beautiful wife and two dogs. In this episode we discuss: Making it delicious for everyone Cooking with kids Vegan is the Buddhist way Killing spiders Cooking meat after veganism So many choices Being intimidated in the kitchen Cookbook pictures – inspiration or defeat?

She walks us through how she embraced a plant-based diet personally and how she brought it into her practice. Dr. Dulaney has literally traded her scalpel for a spatula.

She does this to educate her patients and help them make changes in their lives that will help them have the best chances of avoiding cardiac events.

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to the Yogi Triathlete, Jess and BJ Gumkowski about high vibes. High vibes is the state we all want to be in – feeling good, moving with the flow of life and being our very best positive selves. We talk about how our exercise, the people we interact with, the food we eat, getting still and the way we talk and think all affect our vibes. Jess shares how she used to be a very low vibe person (she was kind and caring, just not so much to herself) and how she made small changes to be the high energy, positive thinking, trail running Yogi Triathlete she is today. There is a really great connection between the 4 of us on this show and we hope you feel it! Jess is Head Yogi at Yogi Triathlete. She is a yoga instructor, meditation teacher, multi-time Ironman triathlete, ultra runner and podcaster. Jess is a Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator and author of the Yogi Triathlete Cookbook: High Vibe Recipes for the Athlete Appetite. She credits mindfulness practices and high vibrational eating with creating significant and meaningful changes in her health, career, and relationships; and holds both essential to peak performance in sport and life. Jess has well over a decade of experience working with athletes on body and mind mastery. BJ is an 11x Ironman triathlete, yoga instructor, podcaster, personal trainer and mindfulness-based triathlon and running coach. His zeal for life is infectious as is his passion for serving those around him in achieving their greatest dreams. BJ's mindfulness practice was born out of his darkest night and has since become a focal point of his training. He is certified in Plant-Based Nutrition from the T. Colin Campbell Center from Nutrition Studies and is currently one of the top Ironman triathletes in the USA and he's doing it all on plants. Together they are on a mission to create a better world by changing the face of athleticism, teaching mindfulness, sharing stories through the Yogi Triathlete podcast and promoting a healthy lifestyle through plant-based nutrition.

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we share the secrets that help strengthen your family bond and a few other techniques we think are pretty great too. Family time builds confidence, trust, connection and memories. As primary and high school teachers we have a deep understanding of children, their personalities and their relationships with their families. Put that experience together with our studies and research and being parents ourselves, we see trends that help keep family ties strong. Often we see the responsible adults and leaders that develop from many of the holistic practices we are going to talk to you about today. Take time right now to rate how you feel your family is doing as a team and then think about what you want that number to be. We hope some of the ideas we talk about today will help you get to where you want to be and help to strengthen your family bond.

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Kim Matthews, the ultrarunner from Run, Eat, World. Kim was not always a runner, as you will learn in this interview, nor was she always eating a plant-based diet. Just like all of us, she is on a journey. Kim is an Australian ultra trail runner currently living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. She began running in 2008 by signing up for a local 5km event with her husband and has not looked back. Over the years her distances gradually increased, before finally completing a marathon in 2014. After a six month break to go traveling in 2015, she returned to Australia with two goals: to switch from a vegetarian diet to a plant-based lifestyle and to complete an ultramarathon. The first goal was easy, much easier than expected. The second goal was achieved three months later, a 50 km trail race in Victoria, Australia. This was Kim's first win in a running event. One month after the 50 km race Kim and her husband moved to Bangkok, Thailand, where her love for trails and traveling continued to grow. They spent 18 months there before relocating to Vietnam. Since arriving in South East Asia Kim has finished 15 races, 10 of these being ultramarathons. She has been awarded first place in 14 of these races. Her biggest accomplishment to date is being crowned the Asia Trail Master champion of 2017. Kim attributes her success to hard work, luck and, of course, a healthy diet. In this episode we discuss: Who is Kim Matthews?

In today's episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk to Sam Turnbull about making vegan cooking easy for everyone. A lot of people think they have to eat like a rabbit if they adopt a vegan diet and don't end up making a change despite their understanding that this can make a difference in their health and for the environment. We talk to Sam about how she has "veganized" her favorite comfort foods and made them affordable and simple for everyone. Sam doesn't get wrapped up with fancy superfood ingredients and we can attest that flavor is never compromised with her recipes. This show is going to give you everything you need for keeping costs down, the ingredient lists short, and it will even get you thinking about what you can make for your loved ones on Valentine's Day this year. We hope you're not hungry now, but you definitely will be by the end of this episode. Sam Turnbull is the creative voice and vision behind the popular blog It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken, author of the cookbook Fuss-Free Vegan, and now a new YouTuber. Growing up in a family of foodies, chefs, butchers, and hunters, (yep, it's true), Sam was determined to prove that vegan cooking didn't have to be all kale and quinoa. Her easy, comforting, satisfying, and totally non-scary recipes struck a chord with vegans, vegetarians, and even carnivores everywhere. Sam's first cookbook has been met with rave reviews and is already in its second printing after only one month since being release. She also won the #LoveLentils competition and had the honor of filming a cooking show with Chef Michael Smith. In this episode we discuss: "It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken" Becoming vegan Following her passion Calling food what it is as opposed to eating "un or mock" Fave recipes from Fuss-Free Vegan: 101 Everyday Comfort Food Favorites, Veganized Must have staples for the kitchen Secrets to keeping costs down in vegan cooking Simple recipes Mistakes people make when starting to cook vegan Making cooking easy for everyone The perfect Valentine's Day menu Actionable tips to start vegan cooking today Links to things we mentioned: Thank you to our sponsor, Health IQ.
