Charles Gassenheimer is the Chief Investment Officer of a Private Equity firm. His plant based diet has been a source of strength with regards to managing stress, thinking more clearly (reducing brain fog), and giving him energy throughout the day. As a senior officer he's also mandated that his workplace offerings include soy milk and vegan snacks.

What started as a journey back to good health has resulted in his becoming an athlete again. He ran cross country and track in high school and college. He was recruited to run at UPENN (where we both went to college). He is now running marathons faster in his 50s than his 20s and 30s.

He lives in New York and has 5 kids including 4 year old triplets.

Caldwell Esselstyn's book

Dr. Kristi Funk's book

The Juicy Bits:

1. It's never too late to make changes that can have a profound impact on health.
2. Good gets better and bad gets worse.
3. You can't outrun, out-train, or outlive a bad diet. There are no free passes with statin drugs (or any others).
4. If you're committed to good health, it's easy to make the whole-food plant-based lifestyle work.
5. In America, we don't have a protein problem, we have a fiber problem.
6. Most populations worldwide are unknowingly lactose intolerant.
7. Check out Dr. Kristi Funk's breast book.
8. Check out Charles' suggestions for daily meals which net about 30 grams of protein each. Good health comes from the highest nutrient density foods that also have the lowest calories.
9. Charles' tips for being prepared: get off a plane and immediately find a grocery store, if you're going to a ballgame or concert then eat before and after (I also suggest bringing snacks), and make sure to contact a restaurant ahead of time.
10. Whatever sport you like, you'll be able to play better and recover faster with less inflammation on a wfpb diet.
11. About 90% of genetics can be overcome with diet. And if you are in the 10% who were dealt bad cards, then you'll want to be even more vigilant about your diet.
12. VEGAN ≠ WFPB. You must remove the processed foods.
13. Charles' favorite foods: red apples, sweet potatoes, broccoli with garlic and rice wine vinegar, kale, brown rice and black bean bowl, and oil free hummus.

⭐️Get the ⁠newsletter⁠Joel Fuhrman, M.D. is a board-certified family physician, seven-time New York Times best-selling author, and internationally recognized expert on nutrition and natural healing. He specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional methods.

For over 30 years, Dr. Fuhrman has shown that it is possible to achieve sustainable weight loss and reverse heart disease, diabetes, and many other illnesses using smart nutrition. In his medical practice, and through his books and television specials, he continues to bring this life-saving message to hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

He coined the term Nutritarian to describe a nutrient-dense eating style — designed to prevent cancer, slow aging, and extend lifespan.

podcastbooks

The Juicy Bits:

1. Health is earned; it's not luck or genetic, and drugs aren't the answer.
2. Doctors don't have any more nutrition knowledge than your mailman!!!
3. White flour products (like bagels) are the same as sugar/candy as far as effects on brain functions and immunity. Oils and fried foods are a leading cause of autoimmune diseases.
4. How kids eat is directly linked to depression and every other illness.
5. The 3 most common cancers are breast, prostate, and colon, AND THEY ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY FOOD-BASED, which means that we could wipe them out with diet.
6. What a mother ate during pregnancy and all the years prior affects the state of her eggs and can result in abnormalities in children.
7. Antibiotics kill gut bacteria and never let the immune defenses fight off infection, thus training the body to get more infected.
8. The best and worst foods sit side-by-side at the store. You have a choice.
9. Children have to take a role in making society better.
10. We live in an insane world where it's acceptable to behave in a manner that destroys the planet so future generations are going to suffer. It's narcissistic and selfish.
11. It's so much more expensive to live UNHEALTHFULLY when you consider healthcare costs.
12. The American system is crazy! The medical industry and big business cultivate a sick population that thinks they can't live without ultraprocessed foods and drugs.
13. GBOMBS - the 6 most powerful anti-cancer foods to have daily -- greens, beans/legumes, onions, mushrooms, berries, seeds/nuts
14. Have a family meeting once per week to review family goals for health and get everyone involved.
15. Just because all of society is doing something doesn't make it right.
16. Nutritional excellence isn't just prevention; it's therapeutic to reverse diseases!
17. Dr. Fuhrman's faves: raw salad, vegetable bean soup or casserole, pistachios, steamed artichoke, frozen fruit

Attorney Mark Huberman is the President of the National Health Association and Editor of Health Science magazine.  He  has adhered to a whole food, plant-based vegan diet since birth in 1951 and credits his excellent health to the pioneering vision of his parents, Max and Ruth Huberman, who had the foresight to recognize the profound benefits of this lifestyle long before most others.  

Mark has been a lawyer since 1976.   Mark has also been actively involved in leadership positions in a wide variety of community organizations.  He currently also serves as Administrator of the Ohio Association of Magistrates.

For nearly all of Mark’s adult life, his greatest passion has been supporting the work of the National Health Association, the oldest organization in the Country advocating the benefits of a whole-food, plant-based diet and lifestyle, something it has been championing since its founding in 1948.  He became a member of its Board of Directors when he was 18 years old and was elected its youngest President in 1977 and served two consecutive two-year terms.  He returned to serve two more terms in the mid 1990’s and then once again from 2004-2005.  In March 2012, he was again asked to serve as President and has continued in that role to this day.

Mark is the Executive Director and Editor of its award-winning quarterly health journal, Health Science.  

In June 2017, Mark retired from his Magistrate position to devote the lion share of his energies to the NHA.  In partnership with is wife, Wanda, they have organized annual health conferences which have featured the leading voices of the whole-food, plant-based health movement, including Drs. Joel Fuhrman, Alan Goldhamer, Stephan Esser, Frank Sabatino, Neal Barnard and more.   

Mark loves sports, the theater, hiking, traveling and in the Summer time, his organic garden. He and his wife, Wanda, are the proud parents and grandparents.

THE JUICY BITS:

1. Everything that has been learning in science has validated a whole food plant-based diet.
2. The vegan, WFPB lifestyle gives you enormous power of your health destiny.
3. The more sensitive we can be, the better the world will be.
4. Watching vegetable gardens grow is wonderous; being vegan brings a spirituality that allows a closeness with wonder.
5. YOU CAN CONTROL THE HEALTHY CHOICES IN YOUR HOME.
6. Gain control of your health before the warranty runs out.
7. Rational choices to age well include being SOS-free, getting good sleep, and regular exercise.
8. YOU DON'T BUY IMMUNITY, YOU BUILD IT.
9. There's a vegan version of everything now.
10. Most people don't worry about their health until they've lost it.
11. What we're doing is not sustainable for the planet or the cost of healthcare.
12. Vegan, SOS-free travel is a wonderful way to bridge travel and community.
13. Mark recommends watching Forks Over Knives, What the Health, and Dr. Greger's How Not to Die, read Joel Fuhrman's Eat for Life, read labels, follow the Dirty Dozen.
14. Mark's faves: peas, mango, avocado, salads.

Wayne Hsiung is an animal rights lawyer, former faculty member at Northwestern School of Law, and co-founder of The Simple Heart Initiative. He has led teams that have investigated and rescued animals from animal-abusing facilities across the globe and has organized successful campaigns to ban fur in San Francisco and California. He served as lead counsel (and, sometimes, defendant) in five “right to rescue” trials in which activists were prosecuted after being charged for giving aid to sick and dying animals, garnering media attention from The New York Times. He is also a co-founder and former lead organizer of the grassroots animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere.Wayne's Links:

The Juicy Bits:

1. "All animals are equal" - a chapter of Peter Singer's Animal Liberation
2. Wayne's dog wasn't just a companion animal, it was his best friend.
3. Failure gave Wayne the freedom to do things that actually mattered. Fear of failure keeps people in the status quo, doing what everyone else is doing. But when you're not scared of dying, you can't be scared of anything else.
4. The cruelty and exploitation of animals is the greatest atrocity in the history of human civilization.
5. Spirituality is the foundation of activism.
6. Courage always comes in small steps and it builds over time as you take more steps. Courage is a community attribute, not an individual one.
7. "Find your voice, find some friends, and fight like hell."
8. The animal rights movement requires finding core stories and reflecting collectively on why they matter.
9. Story-based leadership is about using story of self, story of us, and story of now to create a strong movement.
10. There's something powerful about one's willingness to suffer for a cause. There is immense spiritual growth that comes from suffering.
11. Purpose is something a lot of people are lacking but it makes life worth living.
12. ALL SENTIENT BEINGS FEEL PAIN AND YEARN FOR FAMILIES.
13. Wayne is not a law breaker, he's a law maker.
14. THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE WRONG. The Constitution should include non-human animals, because they deserve life and liberty.
15. All MEN are created equal really means that all humanity are created equal.
16. Vivisection means cutting of the living body.
17. ANIMALS ARE THE MOST POWERLESS BEINGS IN OUR SOCIETY. They're invisible to the legal system.
18. We still live in a society that's ruled by the powerful. The less power you have, the more likely you'll be abused.
19. Learn more. The closer you get to suffering, the more accurately you'll see the world, then you can work to change it.
20. Activism is about empowering people who are already supportive.
21. Empathy is the core of the animal rights movement.
22. MARSHALL BIORESOURCES MARCH TO ABOLISH ANIMAL TESTING
23. Wayne's favorite foods: pb sandwich, pasta, rice, cookies, seitan

The Juicy Bits:

1. Meet and Be around rescued animals; they are individuals much like domesticated pets.
2. The vast majority of suffering on Earth is a result of abuse taking place in factory farms. Factory Farms are the most destructive force on the planet.
3. Going vegan is a choice stemming from going down a path of compassion. Check out the episode with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau.
4. Compassion in World Farming is one of the largest farm animal protection organizations. They also help with food system reform and change.
5. Our food system is broken. It is financially and nutritionally inefficient with so much of the world's seeds and grains going to feed animals instead of people.
6. Cage-free eggs are NOT HUMANE. They cost double or triple conventional eggs when the added cost per egg is only 1-5 cents.
7. The SAVE OUR BACON ACT would be a law stuck in the farm bill that would nullify all state laws prohibiting crates. Why oppose the SOBA: it nullifies all animal protection laws, it's bad for smaller farmers who actually believe animals should have space to move, and it takes away states' rights and overturns voter-approved laws.
8. How you can help stop SOBA: call your US Senator at 202-224-3121, and tell the person on the phone that you oppose SOBA and do not want it included in the farm bill.
9. The SOBA is about protecting mother pigs, but it's also chickens and veal calves that are subjected to the worst confinement on Earth.
10. The first law to ban gestation crates was a ballot measure in the red state of Florida, where they put it in the state's constitution. The SOBA is not about banning pork -- it is simply about allowing mother pigs to stand up, turn around, and extend limbs.
11. To what length would you go to get your pet out of suffering?
12. If you help SOBA and the fight to end factory farming, you will change the course of history for billions!
13. We are in a collective fight around compassion; it takes all of us everyday doing simple acts of kindness.
14. Matt's favorite foods: anything from Chef Chloe in NYC! and nutritional yeast.

The Juicy Bits:

1. You don't have to love animals to not want to hurt them. We come into this world compassionate. Violence is taught.
2. We buy organic and free-range because we believe we're good people, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO BE TOO INCONVENIENCED.
3. It's not HOW we keep animals, IT'S THAT WE BRING THEM INTO THIS WORLD ONLY TO KILL THEM. It's a system of violence that's unchecked. Check out Gail Eisnitz's book Slaughterhouse.
4. It's painful to become awake but the price we pay for not being awake is hardening our hearts and our awareness of truth.
5. WHAT IS COMPASSION? It's connection and awareness that whatever I do impacts someone else.
6. The point is not to be vegan. It's to be compassionate, and veganism is the way to get there.
7. It's easy to say we're compassionate, but where is that manifesting in daily behavior.
8. Change only happens when we're willing to stretch comfort zones.
9. Many people are happy and busy and feel like they can't fit anything else in, but MANY PEOPLE ALSO FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS MISSING.
10. Evolution is the thing because the alternative is to stay stagnant. Change happens when we inspire each other as humans.
11. If you think vegan will be hard, that's what it'll be.
12. The foundation of most cultures' cuisines IS PLANTS.
13. The first step to being a joyful vegan is to orient that way.
14. Being vegan is about saying NO to cruelty, unhealthiness, violence, habitat devastation, and slaughter, and saying YES to flavor, abundance, joy, health, wellness, and compassion.
15. Perception shift: animal products do not have to be the center of the plate. Replace the animal with plant protein and have lots of side dishes.
16. If you have an option to be compassionate, take it.
17. No matter where you live, there's always something you can do to support native pollinators and wildlife.
18. Wherever you can, START.
19. Colleen's favorite foods: tofu, carrots, peanut butter, popcorn, blueberries, and chickpeas.

The Juicy Bits:

1. Being fit is great, but it's really about being healthy.
2. We accept mediocrity as normal, even great, but having stomach aches, digestive problems, constipation, bloating, poor skin, and little sleep is not healthy.
3. Bodybuilding is not the best habit for bodies. It's too extreme.
4. For a woman vegan to build muscle, it takes eating enough food, getting good, regenerative sleep, and functional medicine pieces like gut health, hormonal balance, and reduced stress.
5. Try: tracking food, mindfulness practices, setting boundaries, using a calendar, and self-care activities.
6. CARBS FUEL HIGH PERFORMANCE ATHLETES. Carbs are good. PROTEIN IS FOR REPAIR.
7. .8g protein per kg of body weight is standard for muscle maintenance. Add more fitness goals and aging women.
8. Supplements are meant TO SUPPLEMENT the diet.
9. Women should not try to live off 1200-1300 calories per day. In order to be healthy and look good, you need to eat.
10. EAT REAL FOOD, AND LOTS OF IT. SLEEP. REDUCE STRESS.
11. Try vegan, but do it smart. Hire a good coach.
12. Clarissa's favorite foods: fava bean tofu, textured pea protein, fruit, potatoes, steamed vegetables, hearts of palm pasta

Gail A. Eisnitz, winner of the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Medal for outstanding achievement in animal welfare, has been working for decades to document and expose the shocking underbelly of the U.S. meat industry. She is chief investigator for the Humane Farming Association and author of the new memoir, Out of Sight: An Undercover Investigator’s Fight for Animal Rights and Her Own Survival. Eisnitz and her first book, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment inside the U.S. Meat Industry, were the driving force behind a front-page exposé in the Washington Post that resulted in an annual multimillion dollar Congressional appropriation for enforcement of the Humane Slaughter Act—the first funding ever allocated for a law that had been on the books for more than 40 years. 

Eisnitz’s work has resulted in exposés by ABC’s Good Morning America, ABC’s PrimeTime Live, and Dateline NBC, has been featured in such newspapers as the New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Miami Herald, Detroit Free Press, Texas Monthly, Denver Business Journal, Los Angeles Times, and U.S. News & World Report, and her interviews have been heard on more than 1600 radio stations. In her new memoir, Eisnitz takes readers on a journey of self-discovery as she successfully fights to document and expose scandalous animal abuse, all in the face of a rare visual processing disorder that she has grappled with since childhood. The disease, which was only identified in the scientific literature a mere 10 years ago—was diagnosed three years ago, after she began writing her memoir—and is revealed at the book’s climax. Eisnitz has been vegan for two decades.

The Juicy Bits:

1. When you find out what's going on with animals in the food system, you have no choice but to GO VEGAN. People are sensitive and can change. They're just usually unaware.
2. People are unaware of what's going on in the system and don't even know the basics of animal behavior. COWS DO NOT NATURALLY PRODUCE MILK. Like humans, they lactate only after pregnancy and childbirth. And the only reason their milk is sold in stores is because their babies are stolen from them.
3. Killing something that did not want to die is not humane.
4. The Humane Farming Association conducts anti-cruelty investigations, helps with legislative campaigns and litigation, and saves animals.
5. The Holocaust taught us what humans are capable of doing, and we're doing it now TO ANIMALS.
6. 55 years ago, 10 BILLION animals in the world were slaughtered each year. Now, that same number is slaughtered in the US alone. Increased line speeds and gestation crates make this possible.
7. The American Veterinary Medical Association is in bed with the meat industry and supports the atrocities.
8. Gail's favorite foods include vegan chili with peanuts and pineapple, and hummus with chips.

Kate Galli is qualified as a Master Personal Trainer, Life Coach, NLP Practitioner and has also completed the eCornell Plant Based Nutrition Certificate program.

Kate first got into fitness as a way to transform her body and confidence. She has spent 20 years helping 1,000's of individuals sculpt a body and life they love and over the past 9+ years has focused on Vegan Health Coaching as one of the most powerful ways to advocate for the animals is to be fit, strong and healthy.

Her vision: To create a healthy, compassionate vegan world.

Via the Healthification podcast Kate has interviewed hundreds of passionate and compassionate authors, athletes, doctors and entrepreneurs.

The Juicy Bits:

1. Focus on abundance, not what you're eliminating.
2. The animals are here WITH US, not FOR US.
3. Veganism can be super easy with FOOD PREP. Buy and prep components like veggies, plant protein, sauces, and grains and you can make meals simply.
4. Don't be afraid of a recipe flop. We've all made plenty of terrible meat meals.
5. Don't let perfect be the enemy of progress.
6. An emotional benefit of veganism is lifting the heavy weight of living with incongruency. There is a lightness that comes from alignment.
7. Manage anger with self-care: meditation, journaling, walking, nature, 24-hour digital detox, and community.
8. Discover your CORE VALUES. Check this list.
9. Journaling technique: STATE the two desired states, IDENTITY is belief statements aligned with who you want to become in the world, and FREE write
10. Kate's favorite foods: homemade vegan burger or ball, with crispy potatoes, cruciferous veggies, and a salad with creamy dressing. It's about VOLUME, TEXTURE, and TASTE.
