As a vegan and animal rights activist I have zero hesitation in being hugely excited for and supportive of the future of Cultivated Meat. You might know this new food technology as: Clean meat. Cultured meat. Cell meat. Possibly even “fake meat” or “lab grown meat.” We’ll get into terminology and the actual process involved in growing real meat from animal cells in a controlled ...

As an emotional eater who gets HUGE joy from food, one of the excuses I’m a little (lot!) tired of hearing is: “Yeah, but I love food too much!” This statement is often delivered with a side of: “Unlike you trainers” which implies I’m some robot like creature focused purely on shovelling in the best quality fuel for the out-put I desire. WOW, this ... READ MORE

Todays conversation with Pam Ahern from Edgars Mission Farm Sanctuary is a chat I sought out as a beacon of hope and positivity in a time when life can seem a little overwhelming and a lot uncertain. I feel like the world seems small right now. We’re doing less, planning less, excited by less and yet there’s still such a positive impact you can have in one ... READ MORE

There’s something the vast majority of us humans are proving to not be especially awesome at right now… Dealing with uncertainty. I’ll certainly put my hand up as an individual who wants to be in control. A dear friend even calls me “The Planner!” We want to know what’s coming and find it really unsettling when we don’t. And yet, actually we don’t ever really ... READ MORE

In todays conversation we are delving deeper into how to combat chronic disease using a plant based diet. However, actually the delving does not have to be too deep. The evidence is mind blowing-y easy to find and yet as you’ll hear today dieticians like doctors are not yet being taught the power of plants to prevent, manage and even reverse ... READ MORE

Let’s get straight to it and admit that you have food weakness’s. I do too. This will be an Eating Game Changer! It means giving up on the self-deceiving approach of expecting to one day miraculously wake up more disciplined, more motivated and less emotionally attached to food. I never woke up insanely disciplined and if you’ve struggled with your health, your ... READ MORE

Around 8 weeks into my 3 months Covid lockdown in Noosa, mum suggested I jump on the scale. I knew I was feeling lean however I was shocked to see I was 4 kilo’s lighter than the fit and healthy weight I’d been when I hot tailed it out of Sydney. I’d certainly been working hard, however mostly sitting on ... READ MORE

I’ve been a huge fan of Mic The Vegan for years now. Via his super popular YouTube channel (Mic The Vegan), Mike debunks harmful myths about a vegan lifestyle to help propel us towards a happy, healthy vegan world! What I really appreciate is that Mike covers a variety of topics and he does it by trudging through the science, ... READ MORE

As mum and I record this we have a week left together in coronavirus lockdown here in stunning Noosa. It’s been almost 11 weeks since I first hurriedly packed a bag and hot-footed it out of my tiny flat in Sydney to stay with my parents – just before gyms, borders and life as we knew it closed. That might sound a little ... READ MORE

In his new book, Fiber Fueled, Dr. B will teach you how to train your gut to thrive on healthy foods even if you currently struggle with them. We’re chatting about delicious, abundant plant based diversity. Restriction free eating that is science backed, sustainable, and transforms your health ... READ MORE

To my activist friends I want to share a consideration up front. I’m super aware that as animals rights activists we can often draw a clear line in the sand. We can get pretty black or white. I can get very black or white. Animal exploitation is bad. Unnecessary. Cruel, immoral and utterly unacceptable. That is, and always will be my line in the ... READ MORE

Todays conversation with Keynote Speaker and Life Coach TJ Loeffler is a little diversion away from my usual focus on animal rights and veganism however it’s absolutely aligned with creating a healthy body and mind. TJ is Founder & Lead Coach at Loeffler International where he and his team guide clients through personal awakening and professional transitions both via a signature 6 week boot camp and ... READ MORE
