This week my guest is Ryne O’Donnell, founder of two amazing companies: SolTi’ and Permaculture Planet. His lifestyle has helped shape his everyday reality which most people would categorize as “Living the Dream”.

He and his family reside in Costa Rica on permaculture property that he developed 4 years ago. Today, this property feeds his entire family fresh naturally organic food year round. Living The dream indeed!

In this episode, I speak with Ryne about this very reality and how he implements it into his business practice every single day. His philosophy of putting people and planet first is one that creates a culture of freedom, thus spawning a successful business.

Get ready to learn a little bit about Ryne, living beverages, and Living the Dream!

This week Robbie Balenger is back on the show for the second half of his two part interview!

If you missed last week’s episode, allow me to provide some context for you.

Robbie is a plant-based ultra-endurance athlete that ran from Los Angeles to New York, 3,175 miles in 75 days! His mission, to inspire positive change and show the validity of a plant-based diet. Running from LA to New York fueled entirely by plants, safe to say that he accomplished said mission!

In this episode we dive into his awe inspiring run and Robbie shares some of the challenges that he endured during his 75 days out on the open road. Some of which almost forced him to stop, but as you will soon hear – the mind is powerful and overcoming your own fears and welcoming the challenge, can have a profound positive impact on your life.

So, lace up those running shoes because you’re about to receive a healthy dose of inspiration that is sure to fuel your runs for days to come!

On this episode, I sit down with – Dr. Joel Kahn aka: Americas Heart Healthy Doc!

This was an exciting interview because one of the main reasons I switched to a whole food plant-based diet was because of concerns regarding my own heart health. In fact, when I was diagnosed with dangerously high cholesterol, hypertension and prediabetes, I had no idea that there was this world of information readily available. I was lost in the world wide web of misinformation. So, when I got the opportunity to speak with Dr. Kahn, I decided right then and there he would be the guest that would lead off the Peace Love Plants podcast.

Why? Because Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the world’s LEADING killers, accounting for a combined 15.2 million deaths in 2016 ALONE. These diseases have remained the leading causes of death globally in the last 15 years. I truly feel it’s important for people to understand that heart disease doesn’t have to be, and they don’t need to be afraid of it. This disease can be prevented and reversed through a comprehensive whole food plant-based diet, as you will hear in the interview.

So, grab your quinoa bowl, green smoothie or whatever plant-based fuel you like and enjoy this episode titled “THE HEART OF THE MATTER”, a two part interview with Dr. Joel Kahn.
