    117: Veganism, Purpose, and Spirituality: How Karen Hoyos Aligns Actions with a Life of Meaning

    Adopting a vegan lifestyle can do more than improve your health and the planet—it can deepen your spiritual connection and clarity. Karen Hoyos, a transformational leader, speaker, and author, has embraced veganism not just as a diet, but as a profound way to align her actions with her purpose and values. On the NHA Health Science Podcast, hosted by Dr. Frank Sabatino, Karen shared how her 20 years as a vegan have been integral to her personal healing, spiritual growth, and transformational work with others. Healing Trauma to Find Purpose Karen’s journey toward clarity and purpose began with a need to heal her own trauma. Growing up in Colombia, she witnessed domestic violence within her family, a cycle that left deep emotional scars. Moving to the United States as a young mother marked a turning point. Determined to leave behind the pain of her past, Karen sought out personal development and spiritual growth. Through mentors like Tony Robbins and her meditation teacher, she began addressing the roots of her trauma. “Until we heal our past, it manifests in our relationships, health, and even financial struggles,” Karen explains. Healing, she emphasizes, is about moving from victimhood to empowerment, understanding the unconscious patterns that perpetuate pain, and choosing to grow beyond them. Veganism as a Path to Alignment Karen’s introduction to veganism came through her spiritual practice. Her meditation teacher emphasized the connection between diet and consciousness, opening Karen’s eyes to how food impacts energy and clarity. After watching the documentary Earthlings, Karen committed fully to a plant-based lifestyle, driven by compassion for animals, concern for the planet, and her own spiritual alignment. For Karen, veganism represents congruence—living in alignment with her values. “You cannot hurt and do good at the same time,” she explains. This alignment has become the foundation of her transformational work, where she teaches others to live authentically by harmonizing their actions with their deeper purpose.

    116: Freedom from Binge Eating: Vanessa Sturman’s Plant-Based Path to Recovery

    Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, affecting 1.2% of U.S. adults annually, with higher rates among females (1.6%) compared to males (0.8%), according to the National Institute of Mental Health. In the UK, BED accounts for approximately 22% of all eating disorder cases. These figures reflect the urgent need for effective strategies to address this pervasive issue. On this episode of the NHA Health Science Podcast, Dr. Frank Sabatino sits down with Vanessa Sturman, an award-winning transformational health coach from the UK, to explore her personal journey of overcoming binge eating and finding freedom through a plant-based lifestyle. The Cycle of Binge Eating: A Personal Battle Vanessa shares how societal pressures to conform to specific body ideals during her teenage years led to an unhealthy cycle of restrictive dieting, binge eating, and purging. At her lowest point, she felt consumed by obsessive thoughts about food and her weight. A pivotal moment of clarity, coupled with a strong desire to change, set her on the path to recovery. The Healing Power of Plant-Based Eating Vanessa describes how transitioning to evidence-based, plant-forward eating helped her regain control of her health. By prioritizing whole, nutrient-dense foods, she was able to manage cravings, feel fuller longer, and improve both her physical and emotional well-being. This approach became the foundation of her work as a transformational health coach. Sustainability: A Framework for Success Vanessa emphasizes sustainability as a cornerstone of her coaching philosophy. She helps clients build habits that last by focusing on practical, realistic strategies. This includes advocating for plant-based foods to not only improve health but also reduce environmental impact. Her dual focus on personal and planetary sustainability has made her a sought-after coach and speaker. Freedom Through Abundance, Not Restriction Contrary to traditional dieting models, Vanessa’s approach revolves around abundance. She helps clients incorporate foods they love into their meals while balancing them with nutrient-rich options. This approach eliminates guilt, fosters joy in eating, and leads to long-term success.

    114: Simplifying Plant-Based Meals: Brigitte Gemme’s Journey to Veganism and the Vegan Family Kitchen

    Raised on a farm and immersed in a meat-centric world, Brigitte Gemme never questioned the practice of eating animals until her mid-thirties. Today, she is the founder of Vegan Family Kitchen and author of Flow in the Kitchen, where she teaches the art of simple, nourishing vegan meals. Her transformation—motivated by environmental concern, health awareness, and a growing connection to animal compassion—has become an inspiration for many on a similar journey. A Wake-Up Call: The Environmental Impact of Meat Brigitte’s shift to veganism began with an unexpected jolt. A fellow bike commuter once told her, “If you ride your bike to work but fuel your commute with steak, you might as well be driving a Hummer.” That comment hit home. Brigitte, who considered herself environmentally conscious, was suddenly forced to confront the contradiction in her lifestyle. She began extensive research on the environmental impact of animal-based foods and realized the toll her diet was taking on the planet. Determined to align her actions with her values, she decided to transition her diet, starting with plant-based cooking at home. Embracing the Challenge: Transitioning to a Plant-Based Diet Initially, Brigitte wasn’t ready to fully commit to a vegan diet in public, preferring to make plant-based meals at home. Over two years, she developed new cooking skills and explored vegan recipes, discovering a wealth of delicious plant-based options. As her second child arrived, Brigitte had a profound realization: her experience with breastfeeding sparked empathy for dairy cows. She couldn’t ignore the ethical implications of animal farming and ultimately embraced a fully vegan lifestyle, choosing compassion over tradition. From Skepticism to Advocacy: Discovering the Health Benefits of Plant-Based Eating At first, Brigitte was skeptical of claims about the health benefits of a plant-based diet, suspecting they might be exaggerated. But as she researched chronic disease prevention, particularly after her father’s diagnosis of dementia, she recognized the profound impact of plant-based nutrition on long-term health. Now a certified plant-based nutrition expert, she understands the benefits of a diet rich in whole foods. Her family experienced steady health, energy, and vitality, reinforcing her commitment to veganism. Full post: www.HealthScience.org/114-Brigitte-Gemme

    113: Transforming Health with Plant-Based Medicine: Dr. Laurie Marbas’ Journey from Military to Medicine

    Dr. Laurie Marbas, a board-certified physician in both family and lifestyle medicine, initially trained in a traditional medical setting before her practice and perspective evolved toward integrating plant-based nutrition into her medical approach. Her journey toward plant-based medicine began serendipitously after a patient in Rifle, Colorado, shared remarkable health improvements following dietary changes. Intrigued by her patient's experience with eliminating meat and dairy, Dr. Marbas began researching plant-based diets, eventually encountering The China Study, a pivotal moment that deepened her commitment to using diet as a preventive measure in healthcare. Impact of Plant-Based Diet on Chronic Illness Dr. Marbas shares compelling stories from her practice, including patients with serious autoimmune conditions like lupus. She describes the transformative impact of plant-based diets, exemplified by a lupus patient who saw significant health improvements, including weight loss, reduced inflammation, and a notable decrease in medication dependence. For Dr. Marbas, the results in her patients reinforced the power of nutrition, convincing her to adopt a fully plant-based approach in both her personal and professional life. Implementing Plant-Based Programs in Hospitals In collaboration with colleagues and plant-based chefs, Dr. Marbas implemented a study in Colorado’s Grand River Hospital to test the effects of plant-based meals on hospital employees. Over 30 days, the program yielded promising results, including weight loss and a decrease in pre-diabetic conditions. This experience highlighted the potential for plant-based interventions within healthcare settings, extending beyond patient care to improve employee wellness. Founding of the Plantrition Project and Plant-Based Telehealth A visionary in plant-based medicine, Dr. Marbas co-founded Plant-Based Telehealth, a virtual medical service focused on plant-based health and wellness. After a successful start, Plant-Based Telehealth was sold to Whole Foods founder John Mackey in 2022. Dr. Marbas’ involvement in the Plantrition Project, an organization dedicated to educating healthcare professionals on plant-based nutrition, further solidified her commitment to expanding the reach of nutrition-based preventive medicine.
