We learned a lot from using Continuous Glucose Monitors. Everything we ate and everything we did from sleep to exercise to just thinking hard at work affected our glucose levels. There were a lot of surprises on which foods spiked it and which ones didn't. We tell you how to get your own online and what you can expect.

Host, B (aka, Brenda) Carey and guest Brian Acree have been healthy and ethical vegans for decades without the use of supplements. Why have they gone against the mass media's insistence that vegans must take vitamin pills and powders produced in laboratories? Well, they are also lawyers who are familiar with a multitude of lawsuits (and the scientific information used as evidence in those lawsuits) over supplements. They share some of that information with you today so that you can be a more informed and healthy vegan too.

Dallas McCullouch tours the world with punk bands and has been doing so since he was a teenager. The difference now is that he is a serious academic at one of the world's top Ivy League universities in between tours. He's a former employee of Vegan Health & Fitness Magazine and we couldn't be more proud. The young punk is making headway in places he never knew he would reach, having come from blue collar roots in Michigan. How did he do it? What's next? Listen in to find out the answers to these questions and more!

Torre Washington has won more pro cards and more bodybuilding titles and trophies than any other natural vegan bodybuilder we know. He's been doing it for over a decade now and he's still going strong, racking up the wins. He's even been the personal trainer to an impressive list of celebrities that he names (you have to listen to find out who). Having been raised vegetarian from birth, and having been vegan for over 20 years now, he is a great example of what a guy can do when he eats lots of tofu (yes, tofu) and spends lots of time at the gym. But Torre is more than just a beautiful body, he's got a beautiful mind and spirit too. Learn even more cool things about him that you probably didn't know, even if you've been following him for a while. Get his opinion on supplements, competition judges, the Rastafarian community, and more. Join our host, B, in this engaging conversation that ends with a little workout, just to give you a taste of how to get started building your own stronger, more muscular body... and you WILL be inspired to get started by the end of this interview! Enjoy!
