Have you ever dined with friends, while on a mission to eat healthy, only to find that your choices are limited and undesirable? For example, you order the salad and your friend orders the amazingly juicy pork chop. Do you regret your healthy choice? Do you feel satisfied with your meal? You are not alone. The social factors that influence our choices are real - including the choices that we make about food. Get inspired. Listen in as the team has a lively and comical discussion on this topic.

Has an emotional event (death, loss of a relationship, a health issue of someone that you love) ever changed how you eat? Our relationship with food is influenced by our mindset, the quality of food available, our social circle, and - believe it or not - our emotional state. In this episode, April shares her story about how she coped, how she ate, and what she learned when she went through divorce. Listen in as she and Jendayi, another member of the team, engage in a thoughtful discussion about the effect of divorce on her diet.

Would you like a smoother, more regular visit to the bathroom? You should because as heard in this episode: "Death begins in the bowels". The team has a comical, frank discussion about what's changed for each of them since transitioning to plant-based eating and what they've noticed in the bathroom. We promise that it's a hilarious episode and full of #realTalk!

One of the most common questions that a vegan will get: Where do you get your protein? We don’t know when or exactly why protein became the Almighty Ingredient that we must be careful to get. Are plant-based eaters in danger of becoming protein deficient? We take this episode to challenge this common misconception. Spoiler alert: YOU CAN GET ALL THE PROTEIN YOU NEED ON A PLANT-BASED DIET. Listen in to learn how.
