    "Why Vegan" Series: Veganism and the Environment, the Effects of Going Vegan on our Planet

    "Why Vegan" Series: Veganism and the Environment, the Effects of Going Vegan on our Planet

    In today's episode of our "Why Vegan" series, we're talking about the impact eating a meat and dairy based diet has on our environment. Until I began to read about these issues, I had never really sat down to think about the chain of production of the foods I consumed, the resources these products required to land on supermarket shelves, let alone the huge consequences they had on our environment and our fellow humans and animals in turn. Today we explore all of these issues and I share some mind-blowing statistics, great studies and resources, finishing the episode off in a very positive light, with the hope that lies in knowing that we have so much power to make a change as individuals.

    "Why Vegan" Series: Veganism and your Health, the Benefits of Going Vegan or Following a Plant Based Diet

    "Why Vegan" Series: Veganism and your Health, the Benefits of Going Vegan or Following a Plant Based Diet

    One of our most downloaded series in the podcast is back! Our "Why Vegan" series is meant to give you all the information on why so many people are switching to a plant-based diet and a vegan lifestyle. Newly updated, revamped, including new information and data, all in the hopes that it continues to inspire you, or it serves to arm you with information and knowledge on some of these issues, or it serves as a great place to point people to who have questions and want an opener into these topics. We’ll be covering, the reasons why people go vegan when it comes to health (today’s episode), the environment, animals, our fellow humans, and an unexpected one that happened at least for me, going vegan and how it brought so many benefits to my relationship with food and body.

    Today we'll be covering the evidence and link between vegan diets and health outcomes when it comes to some of the most common chronic diseases, I'll guide you to the scientific evidence and professionals who do such a great job at giving us or helping us understand the science behind dietary patterns. I'll talk a bit about my own journey and I'll share an important side of the equation (perhaps more than statistics in public health), that you should focus on when making the transition to a plant-based diet. We also talk about another important aspect of health on an individual and a more global scale that is closely linked to the farming of animals and more. If you've been wondering "is it safe and healthy to eat a vegan diet?" "will I get all the nutrients I need on a vegan diet?" or "will a plant-based diet help my health"?, we cover it all in this episode.

    This one is jam packed with great resources and information, so don't forget to check out the show notes here, or visit our blog at www.brownble.com

    4 Key Aspects of Habit Formation and Maintenance

    So many of the topics we discuss at Brownble have to do with the changing of habits, the quitting of habits and the creation of new habits. Today I’ll be sharing some simple tools, habit basics and motivation basics all in the hopes that these support you on your efforts if you’re on this journey to eating more plants or going vegan, as well as some of the tools, exercises and resources that have helped countless of our students through the years when transitioning to a vegan or plant based diet. We'll be talking about goals, systems, identity, how to plan for off days, the type of motivation that reigns supreme when changing your eating habits and more.

    A Vegan Friendly Thanksgiving or Christmas Celebration Pt 2: Navigating the Holidays with Family and Friends as a Vegan

    A Vegan Friendly Thanksgiving or Christmas Celebration Pt 2: Navigating the Holidays with Family and Friends as a Vegan

    In part 2 of our Holiday series I thought I would give you a bit of support, not in culinary and meal planning terms (we covered all of that in part 1, our previous episode), but in the emotional and relationship side of things so that you can have the most joyful time this holiday season no matter how you eat, or how differently you do so when compared to your family members and friends. If this is your first Holiday Season or Christmas as a Vegan, the tips I share today will help you during this or any other traditions or festivities you celebrate with family.

    A Vegan Friendly Thanksgiving or Christmas Celebration Pt 1: Kitchen Hacks and Tricks for Making Traditional Holiday Favorites Vegan

    A Vegan Friendly Thanksgiving or Christmas Celebration Pt 1: Kitchen Hacks and Tricks for Making Traditional Holiday Favorites Vegan

    It’s that time of year folks! Today I’m starting what will be a series of episodes on spending Thanksgiving, Christmas or any Holiday you partake in where lots of food is served and lots of family is gathering. It’s a common time for questions to come up among new vegans (even seasoned vegans), and since it’s an emotionally charged time for most (as in the Holiday Season makes you hyperventilate with all the excitement if you’re someone like me), all the tips shared will be helpful for many other occasions as well. In part 1 today, we’ll be covering the culinary and food aspects with tons of tips for delicious holiday cooking, and in our next episode, some of the deeper, more internal issues that can come up during the Holiday season. My goal is that if you love the holiday season you can engage in all the traditions that make your loved ones a clan, that you can enjoy all your favorite foods in their vegan versions and have a Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah or any other celebration into a delicious and relaxing, family filled occasion.

    I'll cover culinary hacks, how to add a Holiday vibe to anything you're making this time of year, share some delicious vegan Thanksgiving and Christmas recipes and more.

Compassionate & Kind Veganism

I’m an imperfect vegan. I eat mostly plant based, but since I’m at the beginning of this journey I do slip up sometimes.

Listening to Kim is like listening to an encouraging friend. She’s not judgmental. She truly believes every step you’re taking towards veganism makes the world a better place, so she’ll cheer you on every step of the way. Her podcasts give me the motivation to keep going.
