Ordinary Vegan Podcast #39: Eating Animals The Movie
The documentary film, Eating Animals, begins with a simple question: where does our meat, eggs, and dairy come from? It then takes us on a eye-opening journey of today’s industrial animal agriculture. Eating Animals, is a enlightening movie about the environmental, economic and public health consequences of factory farming in America. It is slated to hit theaters across the country this month. The film is produced and narrated by actress Natalie Portman, based on the best selling book by Jonathan Safran Foer and directed by Christopher Dillon Quinn. It received high praises from film festivals across the country including a standing ovation at the 2017 Telluride Film Festival. Director Christopher Dillon Quinn tells the story of factory farming through intimate narratives of farmers, breeders, and activists dedicated to bringing their trade and the way we eat back to its roots. In today’s podcast, we discuss the making of Eating Animals and the state of industrial farming in America with the director Christopher Dillon Quinn. In addition to Eating Animals, Christopher Dillon Quinn directed the award-winning documentary "God Grew Tired Of Us" about the lost boys of Sudan. We also get to hear from the best-selling author behind the film, Jonathan Safran Foer. Eating Animals is Jonathan’s third book. A Los Angeles Times article stated that Eating Animals contains “the kind of wisdom that deserves a place at the table with our greatest philosophers.” In a Huffington Post article, Natalie Portman claimed that the book was so compelling that she went from a twenty-year vegetarian to a vegan activist. According to a piece by the New Yorker, the power of the book lies in its ability to discuss why humans can be so loving to their companion animals while simultaneously being completely indifferent to the ones they eat. Eating Animals opens in theaters on June 15. You can find out cities and dates here.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #36: Vegan Cooking & Essential Ingredients For The Vegan Pantry
Most of my podcasts are centered around nutrition and the value of a plant-based diet to help you live a long, healthy life, but today I want to get back to the basics. When you first begin experimenting with a plant-based diet, it can be confusing. What are the essentials to buy? How do I properly cook those essentials? And what foods are needed to keep your family healthy and energized? Those topics are also helpful for anyone who has been practicing a vegan diet for some years because slowing down and re-evaluating how we do things can improve our approach to a plant-based lifestyle. In today’s podcast, we learn what vegan essentials we need to stock and techniques to properly cook those essentials. We also explore cooking with fresh and dried herbs. Herbs add flavor and brightness to any meal but maximizing that flavor is something that most of us have never been taught. In this podcast, we will learn the difference between delicate and hardy herbs and how to store, prepare, and cook with those herbs. Last but not least, today we visit Ordinary Vegan’s kitchen not once, but twice and create two of my favorite breakfast recipes; Vegan Fried Egg with a runny center and my favorite Mediterranean Vegan Omelet. There is much to cover, so this will be Part-1 of my series on vegan cooking. Please make sure you come back for more. Thanks so much for listening and for being part of our healthy community.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #34: A Vegan Diet For Diabetes & Superfoods for Diabetes
Researchers have found that adopting a vegan diet for diabetes has the potential to prevent and even reverse Type 2 diabetes. A healthy plant-based diet could also help improve symptoms for anyone suffering from the many types of this disease. And one of the best ways to manage diabetes is to learn as much as you can about your condition. Diabetes is now a disease that affects 371 million people worldwide, and 187 million of them do not even know they have the disease, according to the International Diabetes Foundation. People who have diabetes can have numerous challenges. Including not knowing what to eat and conflicting nutrition information. If you don't have diabetes, please note that the US National Library of Medicines predicts that the prevalence of diabetes will increase by 54% between 2015 and 2030, so many people are at risk. It is never too early to protect your body from becoming pre-diabetic. Symptoms of pre-diabetes are easy to miss. This stage is referred to as the "grey area." Without drastic lifestyle changes, people with pre-diabetes could progress to full-blown diabetes. The scary thing about this type of diabetes is that it may have no signs or symptoms, and you won't find out unless you have a blood test. Type 2 diabetes is the most common diabetes, and over 85% of people with diabetes suffer from Type 2. This type is considered a lifestyle disease and associated with the way a person lives. The main factors contributing to lifestyle diseases include diet, nutrition, lack of exercise, and drug or alcohol abuse. With that said, it doesn't mean it's your fault that you have this disease. We have been duped by food advertising, food pyramids, food trends and misguided information about diet and food. In today's podcast, I will share what's new in diabetic research and what it means to you. You will learn how to make nutrition therapy a part of your treatment plan. Including a list of superfoods that may help you prevent and even reverse your type-2 and pre-diabetes. We will also explore if a vegan diet for diabetes is the right diet for everyone. Join me in Ordinary Vegan's kitchen and prepare a rainbow chard superfood recipe for people with diabetes. Thanks so much for listening and for being part of our healthy community.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #33: How Overfishing Impacts Humanity & Risks of Eating Fish
Americans alone, increased their seafood consumption to 15.5 pounds of fish and shellfish per person in 2015. Up nearly a pound from the previous year, making it the biggest leap in seafood consumption in 20 years. Overfishing has been created by advanced fishing technology and an increased demand for fish. This has caused several marine species to become extinct or endangered. The seafood business is also valued at billions of dollars, and when that much money is at stake, people can become very greedy. Fishing vessels as big as cruise ships troll the waters and have the ability to fish four times more fish than ever before. Some scientists are predicting that seafood will eventually run out because of the global loss of seafood species. In todays podcast, we break down how overfishing impacts human lives, and why it is everyone’s problem. We also discuss fish toxicity and which high mercury fish to avoid. Last but not least, is fish a healthy food to consume? Thanks for joining us today.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #31: The Best Food For Flu Season & To Boost Your Immune System
Flu season is on track to be the worst in nearly a decade. The CDC (Centers For Disease Control & Prevention) has reported that there have been over 56,000 flu-related deaths, 710,000 people hospitalized and 16 million who sought care from a clinician or hospital so far this season. Many doctors and researchers are scratching their heads about why there are so many viruses and trying to combat the flu involves a fair amount of guesswork. On today's podcast, we discuss a common food additive called trehalose that has been making headlines because of some recent scientific evidence. What scientists found out is that pathogens like a virus, bacteria or fungus in our body, can be boosted by this additive and might be driving the rise of one of the most aggressive superbugs. We also discuss the best food to consume during flu season and to fight infections anytime of the year. Ordinary Vegan also shares her soup recipe that can help combat the flu, common cold and infections. Join our vibrant, supportive health and wellness community, on Facebook.

Many people in the wellness world are turning to cannabidiol, commonly referred to as CBD, for its powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety effects. But as its popularity grows so doesn’t the confusion and misconceptions about this plant-based oil. About a year ago I decided to take a long hard look at CBD oil and its health benefits.

Well, a lot has changed in a year, and there are now many more studies and compelling personal stories about the health benefits of CBD.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #29: How Not To Die with Dr. Michael Greger
They say the secret to happiness is helping others. If that is true, Dr. Michael Greger must be one of the happiest men in the world. The great lengths that he goes to help people understand the connection between nutrition and chronic disease is unrivaled. If you are not familiar with Dr. Michael Greger, here is some background. A graduate of Cornell and Tufts University School of Medicine, Dr. Greger has been published in a vast amount of scientific journals, testified before Congress and lectures at countless symposiums. He was even an expert witness in the infamous Oprah Winfrey meat defamation lawsuit. In his downtime, he can be found constructing policy initiatives as Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture for the Humane Society. He also wrote a best selling book called “How Not To Die” which explains why the top 15 causes of death in the USA can be treated, prevented and even reversed with plant-based nutrition. He also runs the popular website NutritionFacts.org, a nonprofit, science-based public service providing free daily videos and articles on the latest in nutrition research. NutritionFacts.org features hundreds of impeccably researched and easily understandable videos that cover every facet of nutrition and health. In the next week or so he will be releasing yet another book called the “How Not To Die Cookbook" which has already been named the best cookbook of the year by the New York Times. Oh by the way 100% of fees and proceeds he receives from speaking and book sales are donated to charity. Another powerful testament to Dr. Greger’s love of helping people get well. And obviously, Dr. Greger is a very busy man, so I felt very honored that he took some time to stop by the Ordinary Vegan podcast. Specifics covered today include breast cancer, soy consumptions, Parkinson's disease, prostate cancer, suicide, mental health, and auto-immune disease among others. You can purchase Dr. Michael Greger's books on Amazon - link here. Today's recipe, My Favorite Vegan Mushroom Gravy Recipe For the Holidays, can be found here.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #28: A Guide To Good Carbohydrates & Bad Carbohydrates
Confused about carbohydrates? Well you are not alone and learning what good carbohydrates are is the key to a successful healthy diet.

If you eat healthy carbs, as part of a balanced diet that includes protein and fat, your body will function the way it should. If you consume unhealthy carbohydrates, you can develop serious health issues including diabetes, auto-immune disease, and obesity. In today’s podcast, we break it down. Learn which foods are good carbohydrates and how they contribute to weight loss, normal blood sugar and energy. We will also learn where all the bad carbohydrates are hidden and which foods to avoid.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #26: How To Lose Weight By Changing When You Eat
New research suggests that when to eat a meal plays a significant role in predicting weight loss or gain. I am not a big fan of counting calories on a plant-based diet because I believe a healthy vegan diet is a path to lifelong weight control. But the idea of when to eat your calories could make sense for some people who haven't been able to lose weight on a plant-based diet or have problems sleeping. Today I share with you a lot of research I have been doing on weight loss and weight gain, and it has been fascinating. What I have discovered is that that there is a science behind when to eat to lose weight. Have you ever noticed that you tend to feel energized and drowsy around the same times every day? This is your circadian rhythm at work. Your circadian rhythm is a 24-hour clock that is running in the background of your brain. It is also know as the sleep-wake cycle. In the last 15 years, there's been a wealth of evidence suggesting that abnormal or impaired circadian rhythms can bring an increased risk for many illnesses including cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, obesity and even emotional dysregulation. Find out when to eat your meals to maximize weight loss, sleep better and decrease your risk for chronic disease in this podcast. There is a lot to learn and I hope you enjoy today's conversation. Here is the link to the Pumpkin Bread with Oats and Walnuts recipe. Learn more about what to eat on a plant-based diet here.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #25: How To Protect Your Brain From Memory Loss, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States and one of the most terrifying diseases out there. Polls show that people are more scared of getting dementia in old age than any other disease. Alzheimer’s is not just a disease of old age. Younger-onset also know as early onset Alzheimer’s affects people younger than 65 and 5 million people in the United States alone have younger-onset Alzheimer’s Disease. Since 2000, deaths from Alzheimer’s disease have increased by 89% and in 2015 The Alzheimer’s Disease International estimated that someone in the world develops a form of dementia every three seconds. Yet some populations in the world like South Asia and Africa not only live long, healthy lives, but remain cognitively healthy too. So what are they doing right? That is what we are going to discuss today. We are going to discover ways you can protect yourself from Alzheimer’s Disease, memory problems and dementia. And find out the brain's amazing potential to improve cognitive function. We will also visit Ordinary Vegan's Kitchen and create a delicious plant-based recipe with one secret ingredient that can improve your memory. Are you a company interested in sponsoring the podcast?
