The Plantiful PodcastTPP 060: Conversation with Ryan Bethencourt about Clean Protein for Our PetsOur society is being challenged in ways we never expected, and our futures have been shaken. The uncertainty is terrifying. In the midst of human and economic fallout however, it has become clear that connection and good spirits are essential. People have found those connections not only through Zoom, but also through their pets. NYC residents have gone out in droves to adopt animals, and amazingly the shelters are empty! Clearly, people are caring about their pets during this crisis, and with that comes responsibility. Responsibility not just to give pets shelter, but also to give them the quality food...

The Plantiful PodcastReflecting on 2019Reflecting on our year, we did a simple exercise and wrote down our respective highs and lows. The highs were abundant, and we have much to be grateful for. The lows present room for improvement, and we are grateful for those opportunities too. In our final episode of 2019, we pinpoint specific moments of the year as we overcame fears, focused on the process rather than the result, or creating space for ourselves. These three themes became emblematic for growth this year. We like to remind ourselves that News Years is just another date in the...

The Plantiful PodcastInterview with Colleen Patrick Goudreau on How to Stay Vegan in a World That Wants You to Eat Meat, Dairy and EggsColleen Patrick-Goudreau was one of the first vegan authors that I started reading when I transitioned in 2013. What always stood out to me, was how clearly she articulated her values and beliefs related to veganism. Colleen talks about the fact that you are ‘not becoming vegan’, rather, you are expressing your full self when you start abstaining from animal products and living a vegan lifestyle. She also isn’t willing to compromise on her values and clearly states throughout her work how living according to what you belief is not something you need to do halfway and that...

The Plantiful PodcastAn interview with Jessica Murnane on how she overcame endometriosis and believes in bio individualityJessica Murnane is more than inspiring: she’s truly moving. Her powerful experience with her own health struggle around endometriosis, which affects 1 in 10 women in the US, has not only made her an incredible educator about this emotionally taxing condition but she is also an example of resilience and grit. All the shades of eating plant based Jessica found the plant based diet right before her scheduled hysterectomy and it changed her life. Her perspective is realistic however: while she would never eat animals or recommend eating them, she strongly believes that everyone is different an...

The Plantiful PodcastWhy You Should be a Mindful TravelerWith travel so accessible these days, it is all the more imperative that we take a mindful approach when embarking on our journeys. Having just returned from an incredible trip to Kyrgyzstan, Isabelle and I cherished the country's pristine nature. From hiking and biking, to staying in yurts in the mountains or with local families in villages, we got a taste for an on-the-ground experience. As tourism is on the rise in Kyrgyzstan, the opportunity to explore its beautiful landscape will be increasingly accessible. This benefits the local economy, but comes at the risk of pol...

The Plantiful PodcastHow Fears and Plants Fueled Noah's Ironman JourneyIn November 2018 when Noah committed to doing an Ironman Triathlon in July of 2019, a high degree of mystery lay ahead of those 9 months. He fear all the unknowns, including the possibility of failure in both the athletic endeavor as well as in his personal life. Inviting those fears to have a seat at the plant-based dinner table, of course, ultimately paved the way for both hard lessons learned and personal growth. Eating a whole foods plant-based diet as pillar during the training presented it's own obstacles too. For example, Noah didn't use any of the "Gu" products and...

The Plantiful PodcastA conversation with Richard Miron on moral grey areas, trust and the complexity of human-animal relationshipsRichard Miron’s ‘For the Birds’ is more than a documentary about animals rights, which was the initial angle that the filmmaker took when following Kathy’s story. Miron meets Kathy, who owns close to 200 birds, during his work with the Woodstock Sanctuary in 2011. Still in college, Miron’s advisor urges him to follow Kathy’s story, when originally he thought not much more of it. He wanted to make a movie about mammals, cute animals that people can relate to, in the spirit of more classic animal rights work. When Miron starts following Kathy’s story, the emotional r...

And you probably also know that we are big advocates of real, whole, minimally treated food vs relying on processed foods. But what does processed even mean? In this episode, we will tell you all about it and share how we read labels at the grocery store, what foods we gravitate to and how we navigate feeding ourselves w...

He tried all diets - calorie restricting, cutting out soda and sugar and had even gone vegetarian in the early 90s. Anthony says it takes 3 things to change a habit and he was lucky that at that particular moment, all 3 things came together: Education, Motivation and Accountability.

The Plantiful PodcastWhy We Are Sticking to PlantsDid you know that roughly 10% of the US population has tried to go plant based at some point of their lives? Crazy right!? You probably also guessed that most of these people didn’t stick to their plant based diet, when remembering that only 2% are currently following a plant based lifestyle. Clearly drop-off rates are high. It’s tough to stay vegan because of a combination of reasons: the feeling of not being on top of your health and social pressure are often the main ones. And we get it. We know exactly how these challenges feel and...

The Plantiful PodcastDustin Harder: Travel, Veganism and EntertainmentTravel and veganism can seem like an impossible compromise. When we travel, we want to experience and feel the culture that we immerse ourselves into locally. That often means eating local food. Travel also means discovery and open mindedness. So how is that compatible with sticking to your convictions around eating, especially when you refrain from animal products. We know that lots of places in the world use animal ingredients in their traditional cooking so how can you travel and experience the real thing, without breaking veganism? Dustin Harder, the "Vegan Roadie," has answers for all of...

The truth is, Remy's healed herself from it. But eating disorders used to be very much a part of her life as a young teenager. The combination of what she describes as being some genetic pre dispositions and the fact that she moved to Taiwan as a young child, and felt like having power over her food was a way to keep control, could be some of the reasons why she fell into this unhealthy spiral of being obsessed with food and weight.

Health and money are usually among the top 5 New Years resolutions. While we generally agree that eating more plants is better for our health, unfortunately, eating vegan and plant based has the reputation of being expensive. But did you know that Ben Franklin for example went vegetarian for a while because he knew it was cheaper than eating animal products?

We agree that the term can be meaningless, at it's become more of a buzzword in recent years. But let us tell you what we mean by 'sustainably'; it simply means living with intention and making conscious choices in all aspects of your life. From food, to fashion. From beauty products to transportation. Going vegan was an individual journey for both of us, driven by different motivators but ultimately it made both of us more conscious about a lot of other aspects of our lives...

In many ways, identifying one's own personal story through the process of writing and storytelling is a form of catharsis and self-therapy.

For Isabelle, ethical convictions predominantly led her to what she calls a cruelty free compassionate lifestyle. As if it were encoded in her DNA, she needed the right environment to trigger the trait. For Noah, after formidable initial resistance, a pl...

We can all point to moments in sports and entertainment where a star “makes it look so easy.” We even pay money to see these prodigies in action, such as attending a Broadway musical, a football game, or a Coldplay concert (a personal favorite). Flow captures our attention and conjures the human spirit, even if just for a fleeting moment, leaving behind both an impression and an aspiration for personal greatness. There’s something mystical about our ability to feel positive sensations when experiencing another person’s flow.
