The Healthification Podcast

In todays show I want to bust some of the misconceptions common to being vegan and getting lean. Myths I believed for years that sadly are still propagated by large scale animal agriculture and mainstream health and fitness. If I look back to around 8 years ago – when I was vego and prepping for a body sculpting competition I ... READ MORE

Today I’m excited to share with you my chat with Vegan Psychologist, author and animal activist Clare Mann.  Clare is a genuinely exquisite communicator. I learnt so much from our chat. Particularly regarding negotiating relationships with loved ones who are not vegan and how to navigate the line between either biting my tongue completely or blurting out the truth which is then ...

In todays month in review show I’m revisiting (and Vegan’ising!) a post I published almost 300 shows ago on Creating The Most Effective Fat Loss Mindset.  Then it was for vegetarians though absolutely applicable to vegans and truely, anyone struggling to make any significant change to their lifestyle and health. It’s all about creating the mindset that makes it easy to take ... READ MORE

It’s been said the strongest human motivation is the fear of loss. Initially I found that disappointing. To think that rather than being motivated by growth, connection and contribution our species is much more heavily compelled to cling stubbornly onto what we’ve got. The more I thought about the fear of loss and adopting a vegan lifestyle the more it made sense.

My little brother is one unhappy golden child right now. He injured his leg slightly and then proceeded to worry the injury to the point where it required stitches. Sadly this also necessitates Sir Thomas – my little bro the cat – must endure a plastic cone on his head for a week or two. As a caring big sister I ... READ MORE

You know those days when you feel like you left your mojo in bed?  Perhaps you had a rubbish nights sleep or maybe you overindulged the day before. Maybe there’s no particular reason and yet the only thing that seems remotely appealing about today is your first – Second – THIRD (!) coffee or that snackie food you really don’t ... READ MORE

In todays show I’m excited to share my interview with Keith Burgeson from PETA’s Vegan Mentor Program. As you’ll soon hear, Keith is a total sweetie who absolutely does the PETA Vegan Mentor Program proud with his open-heartedness, passion and compassion.  Here’s Keith’s offical bio… “A native of southern New Jersey, Keith Burgeson holds a bachelor’s degree in advertising from Rowan University ...

Let me paint you a picture that featured way too frequently in my pre personal training and pre meal prepping past… It’s the end of the working week and you’re out for work drinks. Lots of work drinks. Because it’s the weekend and you’ve earned it and it’s time to unwind. Before you know it the bars aren’t serving proper food anymore and you know there’s nothing at ... READ MORE

Do you have a magic number? A number in kilo’s or pounds or perhaps a dress or jeans size? Although I haven’t weighed myself in at least a year maybe two, I still have a number in mind that makes me happy to see. I also have a number I’d be mortified to see flash up on the scales. I know this is stupid. It’s not ... READ MORE

Todays show is for you if increasingly you struggle with being vegan in a non-vegan world. Perhaps you used to be fine taking your vegan burgers to a friends BBQ and now you just don’t want to be anywhere near other peoples unnecessarily cruel, ignorant and selfish food choices. You can no longer accept that: “What I eat is my personal ...
