The Healthification Podcast

The more time I spend listening to the views of today’s guests the more I whole-heartedly agree with their admittedly polarising assertions on the best way to advocate for total animal liberation. I’ve been on the record many times as believing “there is no best way to advocate” and “everything counts” and “as long as your intention is genuine” however I’m wavering. What if your intention is genuine and yet the ... READ MORE

I used to envy those “genetically gifted” girls and guys. You know, the chicks whose thighs are naturally lean and cellulite free AND meant to rock short shorts? Or the guys that eat burgers and chips AND beer… and as long as they still “get to the gym” they get to stay super buff and ripped. It’s like the smart kids at ... READ MORE

Over 20 year ago when I first moved to Sydney I remember volunteering at the RSPCA. I assumed as many animal lovers do that they were indeed there “for all creatures great and small.” Not long after I secured a job working as a fundraiser on behalf of Greenpeace and that was a proud moment because I had to overcome my ...

Welcome to show number 3/6 in my: 6 Step System To Becoming Vegan and Living A Healthy Vegan Lifestyle Long Term series. It’s a “veganising” of the system I designed many years ago to effectively lose fat (and GAIN a fit, strong, healthy body) by getting your mind working for you and making your best eating and exercising actions simple and sustainable. ...

I was happy to discover the work of Journalist and Media Coach Katrina Fox via a great video she filmed in response to the Dominion anniversary animal rights actions across Australia earlier this year. Katrina is a powerful, articulate voice for the animals and today I’m excited to learn how to more effectively handle mainstream media spin on animals rights actions and ... READ MORE

Todays show is number 2/6 in my: 6 Step System To Becoming Vegan and Living A Healthy Vegan Lifestyle Long Term series. It’s a “veganising” of the system I designed many years ago to effectively lose fat (and GAIN a fit, strong, healthy body) by getting your mind working for you and making your best eating and exercising actions simple and sustainable. ...

Alex Lockwood’s BAFTA award winning short film 73 Cows shares the story of Jay Wilde, the first farmer in the UK to trade beef farming for sustainable organic vegan farming, giving up his entire herd of cattle to a sanctuary in the process. 73 Cows is a completely approachable film for non-vegans. It’s not graphic at all. Yet it effectively illustrates just ... READ MORE

Todays show is the first in a 6 part series on my: 6 Step System To Becoming Vegan and Living A Healthy Vegan Lifestyle Long Term. It’s also a “veganising” of the system I designed many years ago to effectively lose fat (and GAIN a fit, strong, healthy body) by getting your mind working for you and making your best eating and exercising ...

It is my HUGE pleasure to bring todays show to you. For episode #600 of The Healthification podcast what better way to celebrate than to share: “The best advice I wish I knew prior to adopting a vegan lifestyle” from so many of my amazing podcast guests. You’ll hear from 14 guests today. Their advice spans a few themes from effective ... READ MORE

Although todays show on “The best advice I wish I knew prior to adopting a vegan lifestyle” really is the most valuable information I have to share with you, it’s also just a primer for show #600 next week. I don’t think I’ve ever done a celebration type anniversary show. However 600 is a pretty fab number so it felt like the ... READ MORE

My guest today was a meat and dairy loving country boy, an award winning scientist and a successful stand up comedian when what was to become an incredible personal health struggle first reared it’s ugly head. Life had been going to plan, until that morning Clint Paddison woke up while interstate for comedy gigs with sore feet. However maybe getting then ... READ MORE

You might be surprised to hear the thing I was most apprehensive about giving up prior to going vegan. I’ve never been a mad cheese addict. Ice cream hasn’t been my thing for 20+ years now. I’m not a chocolate girl and so far as meat, I’ve likely forgotten what it tastes like as I haven’t tasted it for 26 years. The thing I thought ... READ MORE

Today I want to discuss one of the most frustrating things in weight loss, fat loss or as I prefer to say, Body Gain. The Weight Loss Plateau. I’m sure most of us have been there before. When your exercising effort and discipline with nutrition just does not seem to be having any effect any more. I have 3 honest considerations ... READ MORE

My guest today is a social media expert in the animal rights community, first running the social media for Vegan Outreach and most recently for The Humane League. John Oberg believes we should: “Look at everything we post on social media as an opportunity to either help animals or hurt animals. It’s about winning hearts and minds not arguments and debates.” ... READ MORE

Todays show is inspired by huge, delicious, abundant meals to share with your non-vegan friends and family. It’s more ‘attractavism’ than pure activism… for the vegan or plant based eater who wants to ensure food shared with loved ones is a time for joy and harmony rather than heated debate and conflict.  In addition to much deliciousness in the form of Build Your Own ...
