The Healthification Podcast

My guest today, Victoria Moran has been vegan 36 years and is known for combining the ethical, spiritual, and health aspects of enlightened vegan living. It’s the one thing that connects all religions – compassion – that I’m most excited to discuss with her today. I want to better understand how leading a life devoted to compassion and kindness can ever be aligned with consuming ...

Todays show is for my fellow emotional eaters! I’m sharing 6 Steps To Eliminate Emotional Eating. I believe the emotional eater actually has an advantage in the game of creating a fit, strong, healthy body. We can’t get complacent. We must outsmart our food weakness’s. We need to learn from our mistakes. In my early 20’s my Go2 break up strategy was to devour ... READ MORE

I’m republishing todays show in preparation for my next chat with the amazing social psychologist Dr Melanie Joy about her soon to be released book Getting Relationships Right. Gosh, I love that title. This is exactly the book I need! Without doubt the number one most common thing I hear when discussing “the hardest thing about being vegan” is negotiating your relationships with non ... READ MORE

Todays show covers one of those topics that you’ll get mixed advice on. Today I’m weighing in on: Should I Exercise When I’m Sick?  I have a lot of respect for my clients who still rock up to training when they are unwell.  Of course there is a line however my belief is that if you are well enough to go to work, to ...

Although it’s fairly rare these days I must admit yesterday I woke up decidedly UN-fresh! Previously I’ve spoken about the importance of the night before in your ideal fat burning day. And of course best practice set-up the night before is equally applicable to your ideal effective, efficient working day. Well, today’s podcast is for when your night before is decidedly UN-ideal.  For the ...

My guest today, Vegan Animal Liberation Activist Seb Alex left a stable career in architecture to commit his life to Animal Rights Advocacy. This quote describes the passion behind this relentless activist so much better than I could:  “Sitting behind a screen while animals are constantly being exploited just did not feel right, and it slowly started affecting both me and my work. I could not ... READ MORE

The “V” word, Vegan is feeling so inflammatory right now. Actually that’s not the best descriptor given eating vegan means you eliminate the most inflammatory foods. More on some of those soon. I’m sure you know what I mean though. Many non-vegans are so provoked by the term vegan. I can appreciate how people might feel so much more comfortable calling themselves ... READ MORE

If Matt Stellino and I met 10 years ago there was every chance we would not see eye to eye. That’s put delicately. 10 years ago, neither of us were vegan and neither of us were activists. I was a vegetarian who thought “hunters deserved to die.” Matt was hunter who didn’t spare a thought for the animals that died as ...

Genuine question: Do you think the person exists who always LOVES to exercise?  You know, that natural athlete that never feels awkward, self conscious or lazy? The individual that is always more excited by the thought of “getting her sweat on” who “loves to lift” rather than lounging around on the sofa? Although there might well be people who are more inclined to want to ... READ MORE

My guest today is an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and although his accomplishments in the world of bodybuilding are impressive, there’s so much more to this gent and this chat that is applicable to all of us who will never step on stage! Torre Washington was raised vegetarian and has been vegan since 1998. After first competing in 2009 and placing third, Torre’s second show within the ... READ MORE

Todays show, Why Joe Rogan Will Become Vegan (Busting The Meathead Myths) has been a long time coming. It may surprise you to learn I’m a regular Joe Rogan Experience podcast listener and fan. I agree with a lot of what Joe says and I disagree categorically on some big issues too. Generally I think it’s important to be open to listening to the opinions of people ... READ MORE

My guest today is determined to show the world that vegan food can be cheap, lazy AND delicious! Although Rose Lee the Cheap Lazy Vegan was born in South Korea and raised in Canada she started sharing her affordable vegan meal ideas while living London where the cost of living was so much higher. I’m super aware of the “it’s expensive” and “it’s elitist” excuses that are ... READ MORE

If you’ve been listening to The Healthification podcast for any period of time (thank you!) I think you may have noticed, I’m a bit of a rules girl. As long as I set them myself. Having rules or standards as I prefer to call them just makes the daily decision making process easier. I actually find it freeing. I love that I ... READ MORE

His television credits include Homecoming, Star Trek: Picard, Awkward, The Catch, The Young and the Restless, Recovery Road, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!

There’s a quote that’s been on my mind a lot recently: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. Whether it’s a Mahatma Gandhi quote or not (the internet can’t decide) I love it. I think it’s abundantly clear that the vegan movement is in the: “then they fight you” phase. I’ve only ... READ MORE
