Ep 113: Today's episode is with Dr. Crystal Heath, a veterinarian in the Bay Area who also happens to be vegan. In a profession that is supposedly all about ANIMALS, you would think this wouldn't be that uncommon but unfortunately and oddly enough it is.

Dr. Heath is an outspoken animal rights advocate, on the founding committee of Veterinarians Against Ventilation Shutdown, which urges the American Veterinary Medical Association to re-classify ventilation shutdown as a “not recommended” method of depopulation. She’s also part of ourhonor.org, who’s goal is "to create an organized network of professionals who are able to formally challenge unethical institutionalized systems and amplify the voices of those who have been marginalized".

She's been a target of the agricultural industry, which was revealed by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showing the industry’s coordinated efforts to discredit her and portray her as a “dangerous animal rights activist” for speaking out against factory farming. Dr. Heath garnered worldwide attention after an Intercept article laid out the details of the story. 

Topics Include:

• vet school and the veterinarian profession

Ep 110: When I started having digestive issues years ago, one of the first things I did was become gluten-free. Of course at the time I had no idea why, it was just a buzz word floating around, but it did help. I felt lighter and more clear headed.

Many others are seeing the benefits of a gluten-free lifestyle and there's now a surge of gf products on the market. However, as with anything, they are not all created equal. 

Today's guests, Adam and Maddie, are also passionate about gluten-free, so much so that they created a company making delicious wholesome bread that tastes great and leaves you feeling incredible.

Pacha is a certified organic bread made from sprouted and fermented buckwheat, a crop that's good for soil health, has a delicious hearty flavor, a plethora of health benefits, plus important for regenerative agriculture.

Ep 108: A new season of the podcast is here and we are taking off with a bang, chatting all about wellness burnout and compassion fatigue, two psychological phenomenon that can happen to many of us trying to live a healthy and/or compassionate lifestyle.

I started using the term 'wellness burnout' after learning of friends and clients (even myself) who'd experienced exhaustion from their health journey. It can happen to anyone who's been devoting an extreme amount of time and energy to healing.

We also discuss compassion fatigue, a condition that can leave animal lovers feeling hopeless, stressed, and anxious.

Topics Include:

• signs of 'wellness burnout'
