I thought, “Well, I could talk to you for four hours, Ella, about a carrot… every bit of nutrition, it's energetic quality, all of it. And then you leave me and you still don't know how to cook that carrot. I gave you nothing.

| Way Beyond Baywatch: Making Waves for Change with Alexandra Paul | 03 Sep 2024 | 01:01:09 | |
I thought, “You know, I need another adventure,” and I was worried it was going to ruin my career. But it turned out to actually be very good for my acting career. Because after you come off a series like Baywatch, everyone thinks you're just incompetent and dumb and I don't know, they just don't give you any credit for anything. And then you go do an Ironman. -Alexandra Paul In today’s encore episode, we dive deep into the life and mission of Alexandra Paul, beyond the accolades, discovering who actress Alexandra Paul is at her core and what drives her. Alexandra shares her incredible story of deciding in 6th grade to remain child-free by choice and how that decision has shaped her activism, including her TEDx talk on overpopulation—a topic she passionately believes needs more attention. We discuss her transformation to vegetarianism at 14, inspired by Diet for a Small Planet, and how a year between high school and college sparked her love for acting, leading to a career where she stood firm in her ethics, refusing to wear fur or use makeup tested on animals. She also opens up about her battle with an eating disorder during her teens and early 20s, her fears around restricting dairy, and the profound moment at 47 when she went vegan and her heart “cracked open,” seeing the injustices of the world more clearly. We touch on her direct action activism, where Alexandra literally takes a stand—physically—for her beliefs, having been arrested over 25 times. She discusses the privileges that allow her to engage in civil disobedience, her training in it, and some of the experiences that have stood out, including moments of fear and claustrophobia. This conversation is rich with reflections on activism, personal growth, and the ongoing journey of recovery from bulimia. Alexandra’s story is not just about overcoming challenges—it’s a powerful reminder of how our choices, big and small, can shape a better world. You won’t want to miss this one!

| Transforming Pain Into Power and Purpose with 4x TEDx Speaker and Thought Leader Elayna Fernandez | 05 Mar 2024 | 00:58:39 | |
When I was pronounced dead, I knew it, not because they said it, but because all of those emotions were gone. I only felt peace, I had a deeper understanding and I was so hyper aware and it was like that's me, but I'm me and I'm just an energy, I'm just a presence. - Elayna Fernandez As a 4x TEDx Speaker, TEDx Organizer, and Certified Speaker Coach, Elayna is a bestselling author, international keynote speaker, and award-winning storyteller who was named one of the 125 Top Impactful Leaders to Know worldwide by SUCCESS Magazine and has been sponsored by over 500 brands.

In this episode, Elayna guides us through the philosophy of harnessing pain as a catalyst for growth, sharing her own remarkable journey to highlight how adversity can lead to profound positivity.

| Plant-Based Seeds of Change: Nourishing the Body, Mind, and Soul with Planted Expo's Stevan Mirkovich | 27 Feb 2024 | 00:51:26 | |
Religion, in its pure sense is to reconnect, in this sense, humankind to the transcendent. So I think it's actually a positive word, but you have to reclaim it, much like the LGBTQ plus community has taught us to reclaim the word queer, which can be a very positive word if understood correctly. So in that sense, I think veganism can be religious in that positive sense. But when religion becomes about erecting unnecessary walls and drawing lines with those walls regarding who is in and who is out, that's when it becomes problematic. -Stevan Mirkovich Join me for this intimate conversation with Stevan, where we peel back the layers of his own transformation, revealing the heart and soul behind choosing a life nourished by plants.

| Following Your Heart and Tantalizing Your Taste Buds with Celebrity Vegan Baker Chris Tucker | 20 Feb 2024 | 00:40:03 | |
I ended up getting on [The Great American Baking Show] which was crazy... went over to London and shot for six weeks and just had the time of my life. When I got home I was like, I don't want to go back to doing hair. I feel like this is my actual calling, like this is what I should be doing. And it was from that moment on that I kind of started transitioning my hair clients into food clients. - Chris Tucker LET'S CONNECT! 💝You can also support my mission of making this world a healthier, more compassionate place for all living beings by TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING… | |||
| Plant-Based, Practical, and Not Pretentious with Shane Martin | 13 Feb 2024 | 00:52:46 | |
I heard a lyric from a song the other day... that said, "There's no one more thankful to sit at a table than the one who best remembers hunger's pain." And so when these hard times come and these moments, it really is like a gut punch. But then you look back and it just makes you appreciate things going forward. - Shane Martin LET'S CONNECT! 💝You can also support my mission of making this world a healthier, more compassionate place for all living beings by TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING… | |||

| From Emotional Eating to Eating with Emotion: A Journey to Food Freedom and Plant-Based Living | 30 Jan 2024 | 00:42:17 | |
Mentioned in the Intro: Get on Ella's NEW coaching program waitlist HERE. (https://sexyfitvegan.com/waitlist/) I felt called to invite her to come on the show and share about her journey, with the intention of helping others who are unhappy with their body, who feel out of control when it comes to consistently eating healthfully, who are sick and tired of dieting and quick-fix-type programs out there making promises that lead to 80-90% of people gaining all the weight they lost back, and who are ready to align their lifestyle with true health and finally find FREEDOM. It's been such a privileged to play a role in Jen's metamorphosis that took her from the shackles of emotional eating to the liberation of a plant-based lifestyle. Her story is nothing short of awe-inspiring and it exemplifies how changing our relationship with food isn't just about what we eat, but why and how we eat.

The opposite of addiction is not sobriety… it’s connection. -Mike Brcic I’m thrilled to share what turned out to be a fascinating and deeply meaningful discussion with community-builder and serial entrepreneur by nature, Mike Brcic. Mike is passionate about helping entrepreneurs live inspired, more connected lives, and our conversation was focused on the themes of the role of human connection in human health and our ability to thrive. He's traveled to and spent time with locals in some of the remotest places on earth, from the nomadic Kazakhs of western Mongolia to the Batwa forest people of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. In the process he's learned a thing or two about how to live a meaningful human life. We talk in depth about his events and adventure retreats around the world with Wayfinders, the business Mike created to help entrepreneurs find the tribe and the support they need to achieve great things and personal fulfillment. We also cover his personal journey, including his own struggle through periods of depression.

I know I hate being lied to. There are a lot of correlations actually, between martial arts - there's a lot of BSS in the martial arts world, people teaching stuff that doesn't work - And I feel it's the same in the diet space… teaching all these diets that just aren't based on the evidence. - James Wilks I have a ton of respect and admiration for today’s special guest, not only because of all that he’s accomplished in his life and career… but also because of the truth-seeker he is and his commitment doing everything in his power to make sure people across the globe also have access to the truth when it comes to nutrition, plant-based advocacy and sustainability.

| Mastering a Meaningful Life with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau aka The Joyful Vegan | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:44:35 | |
Mentioned in this episode…
--------------------------------------- For me, part of joy comes with a sense of wonder. So it's not just about feeling good. I think it's about feeling awe and feeling wonder and being open and being surprised, and being open to being surprised. So I think it's that wonder piece that grounds happiness and creates the joy. - Colleen Patrick-Goudreau Today’s guest is one of my favorite humans on the planet, and someone with whom I feel deeply aligned and connected. Her name is Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, and I interviewed her about 2 years ago on The Vegan Life Coach Podcast.

Mentioned in the Intro...
------------------------------------------ “My dollar is my vote. I tell my students that every day when they feel helpless. You're not! Everything you purchase, everything you consume, everything you use... That is your contribution to society. And I think when you make that choice every day, every moment, leading with someone else being at the forefront of your decisions. That's a selfless life. That is a life that I am proud to be a part of, because I feel like we are on the right side of history.” -Shabnam Islam I’m especially excited to be sharing today’s episode with you, because I got to meet my guest, Shabnam Islam, in person for the first time just a few months ago at the Vegan Women’s Summit where she was speaking. And it seems crazy that we hadn’t met, because as you’ll hear (or see if you’re watching on YouTube), we get on like we’ve known each other for years which makes for a super fun and deep conversation.

In my group, [people] think they're coming for a diet. And every day we're working on letting go of disease identity, releasing trauma, forgiveness, and what joy is.

She is so freakin’ full of energy, is incredibly passionate, and isn’t afraid to share her truth with anyone and everyone who has her attention. Her name is Linda Middlesworth, and she is alive today only because her neighbor told her about Dr. John McDougall 35 years ago. He saved her life.

| Plant-Powered Fitness: Unleashing Your Potential with Coach Maxime Sigouin | 05 Sep 2023 | 00:57:01 | |
The quality of the food that you eat will determine your energy, how your body will look, how you feel, your digestion and your energy. You can eat shit food and get shredded… A lot of people have proven that… but at the end of the day, do you want to look a certain way or do you want to look a certain way and feel great? I want to feel great and look great at the same time. So the quality matters tremendously. - Maxime Sigouin I have to say, I was thrilled that when I wrapped up this interview with Maxime Sigouin, he mentioned that there were things we talked about that, in the hundreds of interviews he’s done over the years, he’s never talked about… That’s how I know I’ve done what I love doing, which is being curious and asking questions that dig deep and unpeel layers.

| Unearthing Truths: Embracing Change, Awakening Purpose, and Challenging Stereotypes with Geoff Palmer | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:58:15 | |
Be sure to ask yourself, “Am I resisting this [science] because I don't want it to be true?” That's where we need to start the conversation. I'm not out to change anybody. I'm out to help people. And people aren't seeing that difference right now. -Geoff Palmer Every time I speak with today’s guest, Geoff Palmer, which is relatively often given that he is a dear friend, I leave the conversation feeling so deeply connected, not only to him, but also to myself, my own purpose, and to the Universe if I’m totally honest. You’ll hear it mentioned in the interview, so I’ll fill you in here… A few months ago, Geoff and his amazing wife Vanessa traveled to Hogs & Kisses Farm Sanctuary for our annual barn warming anniversary fundraiser. They stayed in the sanctuary’s BnB and Geoff was the guest speaker for a crowd of mostly omnivores who were moved by his story and inspired by the wisdom that he shared during his talk. After the event we stayed up late chatting about many of the topics that he and I cover in this episode, and it left my cup feeling so full, which is why I wanted to have him on the show so you all could be a part of this incredibly valuable discussion!

Learn more HERE! It wasn't just the food, it was the way I talked to myself. It was my perception of the medical system. It was my attitude and how I knew that if I get angry I don't feel as healthy. But that's when I turned to exercise to really come full circle on personal and clinical and then how to self-care myself to being healthier. - Lauren Plunkett Today’s guest is a plant-based powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with as a thought-leader in upgrading nutrition education. Her name is Lauren Plunkett and I was so excited to have her on the show because the essence of her practice focuses on whole-person healing that connects emotions to the physical body. She teaches that reaching below the surface to examine our relationship with food is key to establishing long-term, body-positive, stigma-smashing, nutrition habits.

| Enforcer of Compassion with the NHL’s Unlikeliest Tough Guy Georges Laraque | 08 Aug 2023 | 00:50:05 | |
I felt like, okay, George, you were strong enough to fight to play in the NHL. Now your fight is not over. You have to fight for others. So I'm fighting for animals, I'm fighting for women’s rights. I'm fighting for.. gay rights… Any cause that I can help out, to me is as sensitive as the one that I was fighting when I was a kid. -Georges Laraque My conversation with “NHL’s Unlikeliest Tough Guy,” Georges Laraque, was a long time coming and I couldn’t be more excited to share our conversation with you. George was on the final day of an 8-day water fast, something that he does every 6 months as a thorough cleanse to reboot his system, when we recorded and he was vibrating positive energy throughout the interview. Talk about rising and thriving…. That’s George! The other word that comes to mind is resilient. In this fascinating discussion we covered…
Bio: Georges Laraque played 13 seasons for different National Hockey League (NHL) teams. He was known as “The Rock”, acting primarily as an enforcer on these teams. (which means that means he kicked a lot of butt you guys) His best-selling biography, The Story of The NHL's Unlikeliest Tough Guy is the story of a true humanitarian, an engaged citizen not only in his immediate community, but on the global stage as well. The son of Haitian immigrants, Georges is involved in many charities. An animal rights activist and conscientious environmentalist, Georges has been very active as a public speaker.

| Transforming Lives Through Plant-Based Nutrition and Mindful Eating with Julieanna Hever | 01 Aug 2023 | 00:50:09 | |
I would tell everyone to stop worrying about macros, just completely stop thinking about it. We need to change the conversation back to food. - Julieanna Hever One thing I love about today’s guest, Julieanna Hever, AKA The Plant-Based Dietician, and the reason I wanted her on the show, is that she is a passionate dietician who looks at the whole person and the big picture when it comes to helping people embody true health and lose excess weight. I am all about empowerment, and she is all about empowering her clients, rather than handing them yet another diet plan to follow. Plus, she radiates such positive energy and is willing to be vulnerable and share about her own challenges when it comes to body image and aging. When it comes to working with clients, many of our philosophies and strategies are very similar. AND there are also some differences, which we hone in on during this fascinating conversation.

| For the Love of Laughter and Overcoming Food Addictions with Chef AJ | 11 Jul 2023 | 00:45:18 | |
Laughter really is the best medicine. You can eat a nutrient rich diet and take all these supplements and exercise, but if you don't laugh… that should be one of the pillars of lifestyle medicine. See, I would rewrite it… I think there are six pillars. The seventh pillar should be a pet… And the eighth pillar should be laughter. I'm telling you, laughter and pets are the two best things in the whole world. They both make me happy. - Chef AJ There’s never a dull moment when conversing with today’s guest… someone I’ve had the fortune of knowing personally for many years, Chef AJ. She’s a straight-shooter, she’s fun and entertaining, as well as incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about food, health, and making this world a more joyful and kinder place for all creatures big and small. We uncover fascinating details about Chef AJ’s personal journey that, even after knowing her as long as I have, I did not know. We also dive deep into the widespread problem of food addiction, honing in on sugar addiction - Why it’s such a problem and how to overcome it.

Today’s guest is award-winning educator, best-selling author, and 6-time TEDx speaker, Zoe Weil, who also happens to be a badass vegan cross-fitter (which is where our conversation begins). In addition to diet and exercise, Zoe shares how important it is to include our sense of purpose and connection (with nature, other people, animals, and the planet) in our definition of holistic health and wellness. In this episode we dive into…
According to Zoe… “There are so many problems in our communities and world but there is a way to solve them – by learning to become solutionaries who address the root and systemic causes of problems and solve them in ways that do the most good and least harm for people, animals, and the environment. Being a solutionary is the antidote to polarization, either/or thinking, and endless debates. Cultivating a solutionary mindset is the key to a positive, life-affirming, meaningful life that helps build a just, healthy, and humane world for everyone.” VIEW THE FULL SHOW NOTES AND GUEST BIO & LINKS HERE —-------------------------------------- SPONSORED BY LET'S CONNECT! 💝You can also support my mission of making this world a healthier, more compassionate place for all living beings by TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING… | |||

| Food is Impact with Critically Acclaimed Author Glen Merzer | 20 Jun 2023 | 00:47:54 | |
There are times when going to the doctor will save your life. There are also times when going to the doctor will kill you because medical care is the third or fourth leading cause of death in America. - Glen Merzer My very special guest for this episode is Glen Merzer, and I cannot wait for you to receive his empowering message around our personal health and the health and future of this planet. We begin with his backstory, which I find super interesting given that he was an award-winning playwright who ended up in Hollywood writing for network television including the show Blossom (which for me is quite nostalgic). We cover the deaths in his family that prompted him to become a vegetarian at an early age, and the discovery that paved the path to his passion for sustainability and improving the health of the Planet. Glen talks about his book, Own Your Health, and how he weaves in fun and fascinating stories from his personal life, including how his dad saved his mother’s life by telling her to listen to Glen’s advice about what to eat. We cover the climate crisis and Glen’s book, Food is Climate, including the discrepancies between the story we’ve been told and the reality when it comes to both the causes and the solutions for the climate crisis. Glen says, “A lot of what the problem is arrogance” because we really “don’t know how close we are to the tipping point.” We talk about how there’s been a lot of ridicule about documentaries Cowspiracy because of the statistics cited. Glen brings clarity around accounting for the extreme discrepancies in statistics out there about how responsible animal agriculture is for climate chaos. And although it can be difficult to feel hopeful when there are so many unknowns and there are still so many people who seem ambivalent, Glen leads by example with his ability to stay positive and motivated to continue his work, even when progress appears slow.

I said, “Screw it!” I’m done putting in stents. We’re going to see if we can make a practice out of just prevention, just lifestyle, just advanced testing, just cutting edge stuff. It’s been a wonderful ride. - Dr. Joel Kahn I was listening to an episode of Heart Doc VIP podcast that is hosted by today’s guest, Dr. Joel Kahn, and I heard him say, “I’m an on fire doctor, not a burnt out doctor.” You’re about to understand why he made such a claim. He really is on fire with his energy and passion for heart health and using one’s lifestyle, including plant-based nutrition, as medicine. In this jam-packed episode Dr. Khan gives us clarity on some largely misunderstood topics, from cholesterol levels and oil (I was personally surprised to hear his controversial stance on that one), to intermittent fasting, and erythritol.

In terms of my purpose, I would say that I am here to be an instrument of truth and peace and love and respect. -James Aspey James Aspey has made waves across the globe with his message over the years, sometimes in a really positive light, and, yes, there’s also been quite a bit of controversy over his methodology and language as well. One thing I really admire about James is his commitment to his own evolution and his willingness to share his journey with the world.

| Mental Fitness and Holistic Resilience with Sun Sachs | 16 May 2023 | 00:39:58 | |
The reality is you can't decouple your mental health from your physical health, your nutrition from your brain health. There's all these things that are interrelated. We're very complex human beings, and you just can't sum it up by looking at one data point or one aspect. So that's really how I look at [holistic health], as the big picture and how everything impacts each other. - Sun Sachs Today’s guest is former elite athlete, Sun Sachs. Sun is the CEO & Co-founder of Rewire Fitness, the first mental fitness platform that helps athletes and individuals reach their full potential and avoid burnout by providing tools that improve mindset, readiness and resilience. And I have to tell you, that since recording the episode, I’ve had the chance to explore the app and I want to let you all know that I’m finding it quite helpful in my everyday life, particularly for refocusing my mind when I feel overwhelmed or “all over the place,” which of course happens more than I’d like. I also really appreciate that Sun is not only a tough athlete, but also an extremely compassionate individual. He is passionate about animal welfare, the environment, and human health and co-created the plant-based media brand, www.thebeet.com. Sun is also a plant-based culinary chef graduate and former instructor from Matthew Kenny Cuisine. Sun continues to advise for The Beet and promotes a healthy plant-based, athletic lifestyle with his wife, two kids, and 7 animal rescues (4 cats & 3 dogs).

| Eat to Thrive with Dr. Joel Fuhrman | 09 May 2023 | 00:47:05 | |
“When you take care of your physical health and your brain health with the right nourishments, the right nutrients and the right foods then it gives you the ability to have more feelings and emotions for the outside world and things that are not you…. nature, people, animals.” -Dr. Joel Fuhrman In this fascinating interview with the incredible Dr. Joel Fuhrman, I loved seeing his face light up, after so many years into his career, when he talked about the lives he has, and continues to, change through his written and spoken word, and thanks to his Eat for Life Retreat Center. Our conversation goes way beyond the scope of nutrition for individual health. We zoom out and look at the big picture in terms of the effects of nutrition on our society as a whole… Something we don’t talk about enough… which was the topic of Dr. Fuhrman’s books, Fast Food Genocide. We dive deep into how nutrition affects people mentally and emotionally, and how that may be a contributing factor to the hostile political climate in this country today. Dr. Fuhrman shares his backstory, what motivated him to take the path of medicine, specializing in nutrition, and how he almost talked himself out of going to medical school. He paints an inspiring picture of the Eat for Life retreat center and his home next door, and how he’s created a holistic space that allows people to adopt a healthy, whole foods, plant-based way of life that they’re able to sustain long after leaving the grounds. Dr. Fuhrman also sets the record straight when it comes to largely misunderstood topics from oil, to claims that raw kale could harm the thyroid (hint: good news, I can keep eating kale for breakfast even though I have Hashimoto’s disease!). I’m excited for you all to listen to this one!

Our anger is a sign that our moral compass is working. And anger can be a very social, proactive emotion. It gives us the energy and motivation to take positive action on our own and others' behalf. And you know, this is a podcast that leads with the topic of holistic wellness… which, at least in my definition, includes healthy relationships and meaningful connections, which are not possible without the ability to effectively communicate. I’m excited for you to learn about what may be a brand new term for you, Carnism, coined by Melanie herself in this episode, and for you to be a part of what turned out to be an incredibly fascinating and intimate conversation. --------------------------------------- Check out our sister show, The Vegan Life Coach Podcast, HERE!
