We create an intimate episode this week as Lisa and April bring you into a conversation already in progress that was sparked by the quote: "Your genetics load the gun, but your lifestyle pulls the trigger." If you have ever felt that you are a victim of your genes, we invite you into this encouraging discussion that we hope will inspire you to reevaluate your lifestyle decisions and diet. You are more powerful than you may realize to positively influence your health. 

If you enjoyed the Death Of The Diet episode then this is part II. In it, the team discusses why you have to decide for yourself - according to your unique biology - which way of eating is best suited for you. What factors should you consider? How can you learn to listen to your body? What's the benefit of crafting your own eating plan?

Bonus: Jen talks about her own journey and how health coaching benefited her. We're proud to offer you the opportunity to work with April Cunningham, who is trained as a Health Coach, so that you can clarify what's holding you back from the health that you deserve, craft a unique plan just for you, and learn your body.

Meatless meat has gone fast food. A veggie burger is now a juicy, marbled, meat mimicking, stand on its own on a bun with pickles, fries, and a soda. This means more delicious, uncompromising options for eating more plants. What ELSE does it mean? Does eating a meatless meat burger mean eating more plants? The team heartily dishes on this topic and the conversation is as fiery as a flame-grilled meat patty. 

Can you be fit, toned AND vegan? Is going plant-based an American trend? Have you ever wanted to eat vegan and enjoy classic Italian dishes without guilt? In this episode, the team talks to Lukas and Samuel, co-founders of Veecoco, who are on a mission to demonstrate the possibilities of sustaining a plant-based lifestyle without compromise on taste, fitness, or belonging. We love how genuine and committed they are to raising the expectations on what plant-based can be.

Earthlings, a documentary that we CANNOT recommend but that broke our brains, opened our consciousness, and changed us forever provides the context for this episode's discussion. There are so many layers to unpack about our choices and sustainable habit change that this conversation is so very real and human that we think it's one of our most subversively delicious discussions to date. Tune in to wake up. (P.S. Although we cannot recommend the documentary, you are probably going to watch it now, aren't you?)
