Preventing Cardiovascular Disease with Dr Joel Kahn
Episode 10
Monday, May 2, 2022 • Duration 45:27
In this episode of The Green Life, I am joined by one of the World's leading cardiologists and best selling authors, Dr Joel Kahn MD, to discuss the importance of Cardiovascular Health and the way to prevent dealign with heart disease through a healthy , planet based diet. Welcome Dr Kahn
About Dr Kahn
At his core, Dr. Joel Kahn believes that plant-based nutrition is the most powerful source of preventative medicine on the planet. Having practiced traditional cardiology since 1983, it was only after his own commitment to a plant based vegan diet that he truly began to delve into the realm of non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics and nutrition-based recovery protocols. These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. He passionately lectures throughout the country about the health benefits of a plant-based anti-aging diet inspiring a new generation of thought leaders to think scientifically and critically about the body’s ability to heal itself through proper nutrition.
One of the world’s top cardiologists, Dr. Joel Kahn has treated thousands of acute heart attacks during his career. He’d like all that to stop. He’d like to prevent ALL future heart attacks by breaking through to the public to educate and inspire a new holistic lifestyle. Now is the time to focus on educating the public to eat clean, sweat clean and apply cutting edge science to their lifestyle.
ZOOM consultations available, just reach out to Dr Kahn's practice for more details on his
Consuming with Purpose with Tom and Zoe at Wunder Workshop
Episode 9
Monday, April 25, 2022 • Duration 48:09
In this episode, we explore the importance of the impact of brands on people and planet. Not just for the consumers, but at the very beginning of the chain, the farmers, in this case. We discuss the impact on the soil and overall planet and how this brand, Wunder Workshop, set up a blueprint in how business should be conducted; by having a personal relationship with the producers, as well as supporting communities.
Wunder Workshop creates products for the People & Planet. They focus on Consumption With Purpose®, by harvesting the power of regeneratively grown plants for the ultimate wellness rituals. Wunder translates to miracle, and they focus on plants that have a quality that can be classed as such.
Set up by Tom & Zoe in 2014, Wunder Workshop is inspired by intuitive herbalism and Ayurveda - in particular, the preventative and holistic approach that this ancient medical system uses to maintain optimal physical and mental health.
As conscious citizens themselves, all the decisions they make at Wunder Workshop are based on a set of ethical and sustainable values to promote a transparent relationship between grower and consumer.
In keeping these values, they source functional ingredients to create products with integrity and purpose. Their full-circle approach to their products, maintains that the farmers, the environment, soil health and customers are in mind at every stage, from growing to the final sip.
Zoe learned about health and nutrition from her late mother, who had been in the wellbeing industry for over 40 years. This meant she grew up plant-based, surrounded by botanicals, developing her own intuitive herbalism, foraging and growing organic food was the daily norm. This knowledge and motivation has led her to start up her own business.

In this episode, I speak to a true community leader ! Ivone Apolonario is not an online community celebrity but a grass root, local leader who has taken it upon herself to change the future of her country with a simple step: by educating children in a different way! Ivone Apoilinario is the co-founder of O Mundo Somo Nos, an alternative educational system in Northen Portugal, to inspire the next generation and their parents to be themselves and do better for the whole community and eventually the world.
Ivone is also the current coordinator of the Learning Center of the association O MUNDO SOMOS NÓS as well as president of the association's board. Despite her degree in International Relations, and having studied Management, she has a growing interest in adult and children education that led her to study several areas such as Natural Medicine (Macrobiotics and Zen-Shiatsu), Yoga, Humanized Childbirth and Pre-Education. She works for the school to create educational material related to food, health, natural lifestyle and parenting to support the parents as well as the children enrolled in the school. She committed herself to researching various educational approaches, including those of J. Krishnamurti, the main inspiration at the heart of the project, attending various training courses and visiting schools in England, Spain and Portugal. In 2017 she attended, in Sweden, the Family-Lab International “Seminar Leader and Parental Coaching” training, founded by the innovative Danish pedagogue Jesper Juul.

The Truth about Cancer with Dr Amorim
Episode 7
Monday, April 11, 2022 • Duration 01:52:39
In Episode 7 of the Green Life I have a guest I know, trust and can totally vouch for , as he is my own integrative Physician. Dr Andre Amorim is a classically trained MD who breached the gap between allopathic and natural medicine. In this episode we discuss the scary C word: Cancer! The truth about Cancer is that it is NOT a death sentence; but we need to know what to do and take responsibility or our health, to only in the face of a diagnosis, rather in a preventive manner.
Since his early years, Dr. Amorim has been an enthusiastic proponent for a more natural approach to health and life. Following his medical training, Dr. Amorim expanded his knowledge and practice into complementary areas, such as Naturopathy, Orthomolecular Nutrition, Phytotherapy, Thermography, Ozone Therapy, Dark Field Microscopy, Microphysiotherapy, among others.
In addition to his medical credentials, Dr. Amorim is also a certified Yoga practitioner and teacher, seeking (whenever possible) to incorporate yoga’s more subtle dimension into his personal and professional life.
In his practice, he approaches patients in a holistic and integrative way; assessing each as a whole and trying to focus the treatment on the root cause of the problem, not just the control of symptoms.
He is currently the director of the Naturena Integrative Clinic, a health and wellness space where, in addition to Integrative Medicine consultations, he conducts lectures, workshops, retreats and other programs in the scope of Natural Health and Personal Development.
He recently released his book “The Transforming Power of Fasting” (only in Portuguese for the time being), a combination of extensive research as well as his personal and clinical experience with fasting. This book stands out for its comprehensive approach to health - promoting Therapeutic Fasting as an ancient, natural, and scientific healing method that is easily accessible to all.
