Clean eating and a regular dose of exercise are helping them keep Father Time at bay.

Raising A Vegan Kid
Is it healthy for a child be vegan and not eat meat or dairy? Will they still get all of the vitamins and nutrients they need? Despite what you might have heard from skeptics, the answer to both is YES! In fact, the vegan kid in school probably isn’t alone anymore. With an increasing number of adults turning to a plant-based diet, it is a logical assumption that their offspring are following suit. They’re not the “weird kid” anymore! The reality is that the current standard American diet is failing our children and the rate of childhood obesity has skyrocketed over the last half-century. Meanwhile, plant-based diets have been proven time and again to be great for weight loss. Currently, one out of five kids is considered obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sadly, many of these children are now facing some very adult problems, including high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and even heart disease.

The Inspirational Story of Josh LaJaunie
Josh LaJaunie is a man who no longer believes in the word “impossible.” He no longer thinks he can achieve a goal; he knows that he will. It’s a critical distinction that the Louisiana native discovered while doing what he believed to be impossible at the time.

In this conversation with “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, you’ll hear about Josh’s plant-powered journey in his own words. The inspiration for his first steps stems from the two biggest loves of his life, his wife and the New Orleans Saints. After the latter marched to an improbable Super Bowl victory, he began developing a game plan of his own. It wasn’t long before he stepped out of his front door and went for a run. Shortly thereafter, he ran his first race and hasn’t ever slowed down. To date, he’s run thousands of miles and has is now at the forefront of the plant-based movement among athletes.
