Plant Trainers Podcast - Plant Based Nutrition & Fitness

Vinnie shows his sensitive side as he shares his moment of gratitude with us. Then he helps us try to unpack the problems and solutions to childhood obesity. We talk about the problems with getting kids active and discuss whether or not the Physical Education curriculum is failing our kids. At the end of the day, one thing we all agree on is that parents have the responsibility to set a good example for our children.

In this episode Shoshana puts it all on the table. She airs out her dirty laundry by sharing her own struggles with mental illness. We cover a broad interpretation of what mental illness is and the stigma that is associated with it. We listen to a clip by Howie Mandel who talks about the stigma of mental illness for the Bell Let's Talk campaign.

In this show we discuss our keys to optimal performance. Performance can be a very broad term. It can relate to any aspect of one’s life, be it fitness, education, nutrition, business or life itself.

In this show we welcome Brett Blankner and Emily Rhodes as our first official guests. Emily and Brett are married and live in Texas with their super athletic son, Kai.

In this episode we share our journey into a plant-based lifestyle. There were many events in the last 5 years that led us to where we are today. Although the first couple of events were medically quite scary, we now have a happy and healthy family who thrive on eating plants. There are so many different people who have influenced through all sorts of multimedia over the years and we share them with you.

On today's show, we talk about how food can be a saviour in fighting inflammation.  It is important to understand what inflammation is and how we can battle against it.  Natural, raw or cooked, beautifully rich foods can potentially keep you from popping pills or taking prescribed medication.  We give you some good tips about great foods to consume and tips in preparing meals to help reduce your inflammation. These tips and recipes will hopefully help you get on with your days pain-free and help you be able to recover faster so you can get back to your exercise.
