The Chef Bai Podcast

In this episode of the Chef Bai Podcast, Bai dives into the inconsistencies around Thanksgiving as a holiday. She points out the irony of how we as a society, celebrate a day of giving thanks, spending time with loved ones and cooking together, based on a history of exploiting indigenous people. When you uncover the layers of what happened to the indigenous people when the pilgrims came overseas years ago, it’s heartbreaking. Even today, some the most poorly funded, poorly supported communities suffering in the United States are indigenous people. Now is a great time to look into your local indigenous communities and see how you can help give support and love. Bai dares "You" the listener to take a moment and see how we as individuals can give back, give thanks, and give a lil love to those in need of it most.

Bai suggests a crazy concept. Can we stop celebrating thanksgiving?? We can still gather, still cook together, still spend time with family around this time of year, but have it based purely on that. Gathering around community. At the end of the day it’s not about the turkey, it’s about turning off the noise and being present with friends and family. 

The “Thanksgiving holiday” is not only poorly associated with the suffering of indigenous people, it’s also associated with the suffering of over 46 million turkeys that get slaughtered each year in the United states for thanksgiving alone. Not to forget that these massive factory farms which execute these horrific deeds, negatively effect the communities living nearby with environmental pollution from animal waste and/or chemicals, and negatively effect the mental health for workers who operate inside and/or around these slaughter houses and factory farms. With all this harm, there has to be a way to bring more compassion into this time of year.

In this episode of the Chef Bai Podcast, Bai wanted to take a moment to stop and offer a new perspective before rushing into this holiday season.

Especially in western society, Bai explains how each year, we as a collective go though this cycle of ending the year with guilty pleasures & overindulgence, and then starting each year anew, just to end it the same way again. This cycle of consumerism during the holidays can be hard on a lot of us, especially the next day when we inflict guilt on ourselves and say harsh things about our own bodies. Instead of having guilt because we decided to over consume the day before, Bai challenges you to be kind to yourself. To look at yourself in the mirror, and give yourself positive feedback and affirmations throughout the next two months even when you don't feel like it. 

She challenges you to be present, and to be aware. To stop and smell the roses and to not punish yourself for enjoying your life. The stress we put on our bodies from negative thoughts can weaken the immune system and be very damaging to the body overall in the long run.

Changing the verbiage and instead of criticizing yourself, trying being your own hype person. If you won’t be your own hype person, who will?? Tune in now!

In this episode of the Chef Bai Podcast, Bai sits down with her husband, Steve and they finally discuss the burning question that Bai receives almost daily, “Are we having a baby?? “ 

It’s a very loaded question that has many parts to consider, and throughout the next 20 minutes Bailey and Steve break down the pros and cons of bringing a new life into this world. With so many things like the environment, the political climate, healthcare, child care, etc to take into account, it’s nerve wreaking to make the leap from partner to parent. That said, it seems our generation is slowly moving away from conventional traditions, of getting a career, finding a partner, settling down in the suburbs, and raising a family.... to something different and something new! 

Bai and Steve challenge the assumption that the next step is always procreation for couples who have been together for an extended amount of time. Rather instead of asking the burning question “are you having a baby?”, to rather ask “what’s next for you two?” Which opens up the conversation in a positive way. It allows for everyone to be seen, heard, and it allows the chance to open up about something that really is important to them, which may or may not be just about kids. Maybe what’s next in the near future are children….but maybe it’s not.

(Rebranded from "The Plant Remedy Podcast")

This podcast rebranding is a series of short and sweet, snackable episodes about 10-20 minutes long, so that you can tune in on your way to work, on your lunch break, or on your hot girl walk!

In this episode Bailey sits down with film producer, vegan activist, and former professional mixed martial artist, James Wilks. James helped create and produce the award winning documentary’ Game Changers” which showcases success stories of athletes that have adopted such plant focused diets, highlights favorable scientific studies, and shows the benefits of plant-based diets for both athletes and non-athletes. Since its release in 2018, James has been huge driving force for enacting awareness of the food system and showing the positive impacts a plant focused diet has on our health, our environment, and on the animals around us.

In this episode, Bailey engages in a discussion with Chuck Carroll, the host of The Exam Room Podcast and a passionate health advocate. They delve into the topic of food addiction and explore the link between our chronic diseases and the prevalence of ultra-processed fast food & junk food in our Western society. Chuck shares his personal journey of overcoming food addiction, shedding an astonishing 280 pounds and transforming his perspective on nutrition towards a more plant-based approach. As an advocate for healthy eating, he now inspires others who are struggling with food addiction, offering a message of hope. 

Chuck, who serves as the lead host for The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, has had the privilege of interviewing some of the most knowledgeable and influential experts in the food and health fields. His magnetic charisma and wealth of information bring a captivating energy to the conversation.

Over the past two decades, our society has inadvertently constructed a food system filled with excessively high levels of sodium, calories, chemicals, and artificial dyes. The prevalence of fast food options that cater to our fast-paced lifestyles has contributed to a rise in chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, childhood obesity, and adult obesity. Bailey and Chuck encourage listeners to reassess their relationship with food and to delve deeper into understanding the origins, production methods, and ingredients of the food they consume. By educating ourselves about the food system, we empower ourselves as consumers. This special episode is not to be missed!

In this episode Bailey sits down with the talented author, writer, editor, and vegan activist, Molly Elwood. Molly is the CEO and founder of the wildly popular “Elwood’s Organic Dog Meat” brand which uses its name and website alone as heart wrenching satire to highlight the downfalls and inhumanity of the animal agriculture industry. What started as a bumper sticker has turned into an rapidly growing instagram account with dog meat merchandise available to purchase, and an ever evolving website that has plenty of satire, resources, tools, downloads, and tips on how to get active in your community.  

This episode starts off with some light hearted conversations about Molly and how she came up with the idea, and then they dive into some of the hard issues when it comes to the meat industry. It’s brands like Elwoods dog meat that are bringing awareness to the collective society on how our food system works and where our food comes from. Inherently we has humans are not cruel, yet the realities of the meat industry and the slaughterhouse is nothing close to humane. Throughout the conversation there are tips on how to get more educated with our food industry and how to become more involved in your local community. You’ll want to tune in for this special episode!
