    Vegetarian & Vegan Diets - What to Know

    Vegetarian & Vegan Diets - What to Know

    It seems like way too many people are not sure what exactly are the vegetarian and vegan diets, the difference between them and what people eat when they follow these diets. 

    Maybe you know someone who is considering these diets and you want to support them better.

    In this episode, I provide simple, straightforward information and give you 5 important points to know about these diets that can help you be better informed, so you can decide if it is something you may want to pursue or how to support a loved one who is considering these diets.

    In this episode, I discuss the following 5 points:


    Weight management
    Saturated fats
    Fibre
    Life cycle
    Ethical & environmental impact

    The 3 most common questions you are not asking

    The 3 most common questions you are not asking

    In this episode, I am going to address the top 3 common concerns most of you have but feel uncomfortable saying out loud when it comes to weight loss or working on changing your body composition.

    My concern is, that although many of you have a certain nutritional goal, you will end up deciding not to do anything about it, just because you are not aware of the answers to these three concerns.

    So I’m here to help. And I hope this episode will eliminate a certain objection you may have when thinking of working towards a nutritional goal.

    Sleep, Weight & Health

    Sleep, Weight & Health

    Why is sleep important? Can sleep deprivation affect our weight?

    In this episode, I talk about the importance of sleep and provide 10 things you could do to improve your sleep. Why should you look into that, you may ask?
    Because sleep is fundamental to human health and well-being and impacts every aspect of our lives. It is crucial for physical health, cognitive function, emotional well-being, productivity, and performance. 

    I cannot overstate the significance of getting good quality and quantity of sleep.
