Ordinary Vegan Podcast #53- What Is Sugar & Which Sugars Are Healthy

March 18, 2019 28:38 25.88 MB Downloads: 0

Fifty-years-ago, the sugar industry funded research that downplayed the risks of sugar and highlighted the hazards of fat. Forty-years-ago, high fructose corn syrup  (HFCS) started trickling into our food supply. Most people didn't know what HFCS was. So began the confusion about what is sugar and what sugars are healthy. When I decided to tackle the subject of sugar, one of the most surprising statistics I found out is that 99% of  toddlers ages 12 to 18 months are downing 5-7 teaspoons of added sugar a day.  Not only that, the average sugar consumption for adults is 25 teaspoons a day. Well over the recommended amounts.  Since the discovery of high fructose corn syrup, the American consumption of fructose jumped from 37 grams per day in the 1970s to a record high of 62 grams per day in 2000. So where is all this added sugar coming from? Here is an example. A 20 oz soft drink contains about 16 teaspoons of high fructose corn syrup, and an energy drink can hold over 50 grams of high fructose corn syrup. Salad dressings, ketchup, fruit drinks and even bread can have a large amounts of sugar. And most people have no idea they are consuming this much-added sugar. In today’s podcast, we break down the truth about sugar, and how it impacts our health. We also examine natural sugars and their role in a healthy diet. We also discuss why sugar may not be vegan due to its questionable infiltration. Resources: A List of Bone Char Free Sugar Companies Thanks for listening.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #52- Protecting The Environment Begins With You

It's no secret that human activity is changing the climate.  For many, how to protect the environment can seem like a daunting task. In October 2018, the United Nations top climate science panel gathered in South Korea to prepare a new report on climate change. Their report stated the starkest warnings to date of the consequences of climate change. They predicted if significant steps were not taken, global warming could create extreme heat, drought, floods, poverty, and trillions of dollars in debt. Not long after, in December 2018, The EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet and Health was released. This commission brings together more than 30 world-leading scientists from across the globe to reach a scientific consensus that defines a healthy, sustainable diet. Their findings were equally as dire. The report revealed that if we don't make a radical change in diet and food production, we could be facing catastrophic damage to our planet. The good news is you don't have to feel helpless about the future of the planet. Because how to protect the environment begins with you. And there are positive steps we can do to tackle climate change right now. Today's podcast focuses on unexpected ways you can help. Thanks for listening and always remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle because how to protect the environment begins with you.

Positive emotions have been linked with better health, longer life,  and a greater sense of well being.  If you are reading this, then you already are seeking to live a healthier lifestyle,  And a healthy lifestyle brings longevity.  We talk so much about living longer but do we ask ourselves enough “why do we want to live longer?” What is our sense of purpose that gets us up every day and brings us pure joy?  Today, we live in a world we can never escape. Our phones are continually pinging us with bad news. Social media is dividing us more than connecting us.  A growing body of evidence shows that this constant barrage of news and sharing on social media can lead to depression and increased feelings of inadequacy.  Many studies have shown that people who are unhappy are three to ten times more likely to get sick and die prematurely compared to those who have a stronger sense of connection, joy, and community. Today we explore the idea of giving up everything that doesn’t bring us joy. We also discuss what is joy and how we can bring more joy into our lives.  STUDIES DISCUSSED:  Alzheimers & IrisinThe Mysteriously Long Lives of Male Holocaust Survivors REFERENCES: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie KondoSpark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on The Art of Organizing and Tidying UpMeetup.comVolunteer Match TODAY’S JOYFUL RECIPE Chickpeas & Spinach with Spicy Breadcrumbs Thanks to today’s podcast sponsor Blinkist.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #49: Allergy Causes, Allergy Symptoms & Prevention

December 18, 2018 27:19 26.64 MB Downloads: 0

Each year, over 50 million Americans experience various types of allergies. Many of these allergic conditions are on the rise.  In medicine, the hygiene hypothesis states a lack of early childhood exposure to germs suppresses the natural development of the immune system.  In other words, living conditions in much of the world might be too clean and being exposed to germs as a child may protect us from allergies.  An additional theory is that the increased antibiotic use parallels the rise in allergies and asthma.  But other research suggests that the rising prevalence of allergies are the result of many factors. Bottom line, no one really knows the why, but there are ways we can protect ourselves.  Today we will explore the most common allergy causes, symptoms, and prevention.  Discover what allergen triggers could be lurking in your home. Learn the difference between cold and allergy symptoms.  Find out some plant-based substitutions for common food allergies.  Last but not least, I will reveal three foods that can help relieve your allergies. Hope you enjoy today’s podcast. Here is a link to today's recipe; Marinated Seitan Sandwich with Spicy Red Cabbage Slaw.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #47: Dream Interpretation with Tricia Kelly

November 02, 2018 01:03:02 50.63 MB Downloads: 0

You may think dream interpretation is an unusual subject for a health and wellness podcast, but dreaming is an important function for our emotional health. Dreams are often the way the brain solves problems and deals with our concerns. Furthermore, some psychologists think that dreams are nothing more than random brain activity. While others like Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung believe that dreams can reveal a person's deepest unconscious wishes and desire. In particular, Freud's work on dreams explored the possibility of universal symbols in dreams. However, he was cautious about symbols and believed that symbols are more personal rather than universal. In other words, no one dream interpretation fits all. And why do the same dreams reoccur? Why do you keep dreaming of missing a plane or having to cram for a college exam after you graduated from college? Some people even dream that they are being murdered or murdering someone else. Above all,  lengthy, distressful, or violent nightmares can disrupt our sleep and as we all know rest is essential to human health. Today, we learn how to analyze our dreams and why it is important with dream expert, Tricia Kelly. Tricia Kelly teaches an inspirational blend of Western and Eastern wisdom. Her thirty-eight years of teaching are enhanced with perspectives gained from traveling the world. She includes in her work the dream symbolism and wisdom of psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Carl Jung and Edward Edinger. Tricia's philosophy is that dreams are simply a doorway into our deeper selves, and teach us who we are and how we are made. Tricia has an office in Costa Mesa, California. She is currently traveling and will begin meeting new clients in February 2019. You can reach her at dreamdrop676@gmail.com. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy the podcast. You can find all my podcasts on my website, Ordinaryvegan.net,  iTunes,Spotify, Alexa, or on your favorite podcatcher. Last but not least, Ordinary Vegan now sells all natural Vegan CBD Oil from Hemp. Ordinary Vegan  products are plant-based (vegan), Non-GMO, gluten-free, and tested to ensure the best quality CBD Oil available. If you are not familiar with CBD, CBD oil from hemp is supplement containing cannabidiol, or CBD. While supplements are not intended to treat or cure any specific conditions, CBD is becoming more recognized amongst the medical community as a key supplement to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Many people describes their experience taking Ordinary Vegan CBD productsas feeling contented, clear-headed and composed. Hope CBD Oil from hemp can help you.

The amount of faux meats and processed vegan-friendly products has exploded in the past two years. Subsequently, if you are a full-time or part-time vegan who regularly consumes processed vegan foods, these foods can be as unhealthy as animal products.

In today’s podcast, I discuss the 10 ten vegan foods you should include in your diet every day. So even if you are already on a vegan diet, sometimes you need to get back to the basics and eat well-planned vegan foods to make sure you don’t miss out on essential nutrients. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes second nature. In brief, no matter where you are on your vegan journey, eating a whole-food, plant-based diet centered on whole, unrefined vegan foods, will drastically improve your health and you will feel better than you have ever felt.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast 44: Am I An Empath?

September 18, 2018 34:30 29.53 MB Downloads: 0

Do you often feel the pain of others? Do you feel drained after being around certain people for too long? Do you find yourself caring for or taking care of others more than yourself sometimes? Do you feel feelings deeper, harder, and longer than others. Are you sensitive to smells, crowds or excessive talking. Do you have a strong connection to nature or the animal kingdom? If so, you may be an empath. The trademark of an empath is that they feel and absorb other people's emotions and/or physical symptoms because of their high sensitivities. Empaths are often targeted by emotional vampires due to the strength of the empath's emotions and vibrant energy. So being an empath can be exhausting, especially if you don't understand this characteristic of yourself, and don't know how to protect yourself. In today's podcast, we will explore the traits of an empath with Dr. Judith Orloff, the leading voice in the field of empaths, psychiatry, and intuitive development. Dr. Orloff is the author of the best selling Book "The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People." In the book she educates readers about empaths, and offers strategies for empaths to protect themselves. Hope you enjoy today's podcast. If you are just getting started on a plant-based diet, I recommend listening to Podcast #1: Getting Started On A Vegan Diet and Podcast #10: How To Achieve Optimal Health On A Plant-Based Diet. To learn more about Dr. Judith Orloff and take a free empath self-assessment, visit www.DrJudithOrloff.com. You can purchase Dr. Orloff's best selling book, The Empaths Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People" on Amazon. Judith also has other best selling books including "Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life". Dr. Orloff is also doing empath workshops and book signings all over the country including Kansas City, New York City, Los Angeles and Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Today’s podcast is brought to you by the Ordinary Vegan line of CBD products made from agricultural hemp. Vegan CBD Oil from hemp is a natural plant food that is taking the wellness world by storm for its promising ability to help with anxiety, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, migraines, arthritis ,fibromyalgia, addiction, obsessive-compulsive disorder and chronic pain. When I began hearing the testimonials from so many of you in the Ordinary Vegan community, I was skeptical.  But after two years of research, I  came to the decision that CBD Oil is helping people get off medication for chronic pain or anxiety. And there are so many CBD brands out there that are not safe or effective so I made a decision that it was essential to provide a safe, reliable vegan CBD oil from hemp for our health and wellness community.

Cooking with plants is a lifestyle that can be enjoyed full or part-time. Even adding two or three plant-based meals to your diet every week can have significant health benefits.

"The Starch Solution is a diet based on starch. Yes, let me say that again, it is a diet based on starch"                              --Dr. John McDougall “Dr. John McDougall is the dean of medical practitioners in nutrition-centered medicine- because of his incredible accomplishments, knowledge, and courage to stand up for what he believes. Thousands of his patients know him as an icon. When you read this book, you will too.” — T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., coauthor of The China Study These days, you mainly hear people recommending reducing carbs, particularly starchy carbohydrates. But Dr. John McDougall has experienced tremendous success with his chronically ill patients by emphasizing a vegan starch based diet. If you have never heard of Dr. John McDougall, he has been a pioneer in the plant-based wellness world for many years. As far back as the 1970s, Dr. McDougall began developing the starch based diet. It all began when he was practicing medicine on a sugar plantation in Hawaii. He observed the declining health of families who traded their starch based diet from their native Asian countries and began eating a typical Western diet of red meat, oils, and processed foods. The result was the Asian immigrants began to experience serious Western diseases like type-2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease which were unheard of in their native countries. So, Dr. McDougall began treating his patients with whole plant-based foods that were free of meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and oil. The diet was approximately 80% percent complex carbohydrates, 12 percent protein, and 8 percent fat. Spices and small amounts of salt and sugar were added for flavor. What Dr. McDougall discovered is that a plant-based starch based diet helped his patients lose weight and reverse their chronic disease. In 2002, Dr. McDougall began the McDougall Program in Santa Rosa, California. The McDougall program is a three or 10-day residential treatment program which features his plant-based, low fat, starch based diet. In June 2013, Dr. McDougall released his best selling book "The Starch Solution," which has sold over a million copies. His partner in life and wife Mary contributed recipes for the book. The "Starch Solution" is based on a simple swap; fueling your body primarily with carbohydrates rather than proteins and fats. Dr. McDougall's legion of followers says they have lost weight, boosted their energy and reversed their chronic disease like type-2 diabetes and heart disease.
