Are you thinking of adding more plants to your diet in 2021? Today's podcast shares some easy vegan swaps to ease the transition.
Finding substitutions for animal products is perhaps the most difficult part of vegan cooking. But it can also be the healthiest thing you can do.

Podcast #96 will introduce you to many vegan swaps and recipes along with:

In today's podcast, Dr. Noelle LoConte discusses the relationship between alcohol and cancer.
According to the American Cancer Society, alcohol use is one of the most preventable risk factors for cancer. They further state that alcohol use accounts for about 6% of all cancers and 4% of all cancer deaths. For many cancers, the more alcohol you drink, the higher your cancer risk. But for some types of cancers, in particular breast cancer, consuming even small amounts of alcohol can increase the risk.
Furthermore, BreastCancer.org warns women that as little as three alcoholic drinks per week give you a 15% higher risk of breast cancer compared to non-drinkers.
Most people don't realize that tipping back a beer, wine, or a cocktail could increase their cancer risk.Noelle LoConte, M.D., specializes in the relationship between alcohol and cancer. She is the first author on the American Society of Clinical Oncology policy statement on alcohol and cancer and has served on the ASCO prevention Committee.
Dr. LoConte is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center in Madison, Wisconsin. She completed medical school at the University of Illinois at Chicago, did her internal medicine internship at UW, and completed her internal medicine residency at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. Her clinical interests are in medical oncology, and she maintains a practice in gastrointestinal cancers. Her research and outreach interests are in cancer control across the cancer continuum, and she is the principal investigator (PI) for the Wisconsin Comprehensive Cancer Control Program. Through this work, she chairs the action plan on alcohol for Wisconsin.
Today's podcast will encourage us to take an honest look at the connection between alcohol and cancer along with: Pema Chödrön quote from - "When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice For Difficult Times" How much alcohol increases the risk of cancer What kinds of cancer are connected to alcohol How alcohol causes cancer The relationship of alcohol and breast cancer How alcohol increases levels of estrogen Head, neck, and esophageal cancer Alcohol and cancer treatment Alcohol and mortality "The Undying" A book by poet Anne Boyer about her battle with breast cancer Cancer and Covid 19 The four main rules of practicing oncologyThank you for joining me today.

In this episode of the Ordinary Vegan Podcast, I talk with a man who needs no introduction. His name is Dr. T. Colin Campbell and he is one of the most famous people in the plant-based movement.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, PhD has dedicated his life to the science of human health for more than 60 years. His primary focus is on the association between diet and disease, particularly cancer. Although largely known for the China Study--one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted, and recognized by The New York Timesas the âGrand Prix of epidemiologyâ--Dr. Campbellâs profound impact also includes extensive involvement in education, public policy, and laboratory research. He also wrote the bestselling book Whole, and The Low-Carb Fraud.
Several documentary films feature Dr. Campbell and his research, including Forks Over Knives, Eating You Alive, Food Matters, and PlantPure Nation. Furthermore, he has delivered hundreds of lectures around the world and is the founder of the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and the online Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate in partnership with eCornell.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell has dedicated his career to proving that a chronic diagnosis doesnât have to be a death sentence and that prevention, even reversal, is possible.
Today, Dr. Campbell shares the evidence heâs accumulated over a lifetime of research to show that making the switch to a whole foods plant-based diet is the most effective way to protect yourself from COVID-19 and prevent chronic conditions along with: Why some people are skeptical about science How much plant protein do we need Dr. T. Colin Campbell's extensive research on viruses including hepatitis B and liver cancer How nutrients control cancer Turning cancer on with animal protein COVID-19 and nutrition in a pandemic The China Study Forks over Knives DocumentaryYou can pre-order Dr. Campbell's new book "The Future of Nutrition on Amazon.

Is it time to turn your passion for a vegan lifestyle into a plant-based business?
What was recently a radical lifestyle choice, eating plants, is now rapidly moving into the mainstream. And if there was ever a time to open a plant-based business, now is the time.
According to Meticulous Research, the plant-based food market worth will be 74.2 billion by 2027. Clearly, the growth in this market is due to the nutritional benefits offered by plants and for the sake of the environment. These statistics open a significant opportunity for vegan entrepreneurs.
Our podcast guest, Björn Ăste, is a seasoned plant-based business owner and entrepreneur. He is co-founder and CEO of Good Idea Drinks. Good Idea is a flavored sparkling water with a blend of five amino acids and chromium that cuts the blood sugar spike after a meal. It's all-natural, un-sweetened, and contains zero calories.
Prior to Good Idea, Björn co-founded Oatly. Oatly is one of the most popular non-dairy milks in the world and is sold in over 25 countries.
He and his brother Rickard specialize in plant-based food products with preventative properties.

Starting a vegan business is not for the faint of heart. Building a new business can be scary and risky, but every successful entrepreneur will tell you that itâs worth it.
Todayâs podcast is part 1 of a vegan business series focused on plant-based entrepreneurs. You might be saying why now? Because the coronavirus is sparking a plant-based sales explosion, and this could be a good time to turn your passion into a vegan business.
Additionally, many big successful businesses started in a downturn like Netflix. Legend has it that Netflix founder, Reed Hastings, was motivated to start an online DVD rental by mail after incurring a $40.00 late fee from Blockbuster.
So, in my opinion, anything is possible.
In Podcast #90, we speak with a first-time vegan business owner Emily Edwards about her entrepreneur journey along with: How to start a vegan business focused on food Testing the viability of a new product Business plan Costs to create a new business Sourcing ingredients Pricing Social responsibilityYou can visit Emilyâs Kitchen and all her healthy Paradise Snax here.

Several studies that have tested the effects of consuming soup on a regular basis found that routinely eating soup can reduce energy intake, enhance satiety, and promote weight loss. Vegan soups are especially satiating because high fiber vegetables are high volume foods. This is called energy density. Energy density is the number of calories in a particular weight of food. It means you can have satisfying portions of low-energy-dense foods with a relatively low-calorie content.
Such high fiber foods like broccoli, squash, peas, cabbage, spinach and sweet potatoes are high volume foods. They add bulk to your meals and fill up your stomach without a lot of calories. They also keep you full longer.
And vegan soups don't have to be boring. There are a lot of ways to liven them up, so today's podcast is dedicated to vegan soup enhancing tips along with: Using aromatics to add depth and flavor Why soup is only good as your broth Using seeds to add flavor Whole grains to elevate heartiness Umami flavors Crunch and brightness Soup and immunity Velvety Red Lentil Soup with Cherry Tomatoes & Shredded Coconut Garlic Broth recipe (below) Vegetable Cooking ChartThank you for joining me today.

Today I sit down with Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams.
Eric is in the running to be the next mayor of New York City and he is using his platform to spark real change and spread the plant-based message.
Here is some background. At 15 years old, Eric Adams was beaten by police. The traumatizing incident inspired him to become a police officer to help reform New York City policing from the inside. He co-founded 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, and after 22 years on the force, retired as a captain.
Eric served in the New York Senate for seven years and was elected Brooklyn Borough President in 2013. He is now serving his second term.
In 2016 when Eric was out of the country, he experienced stomach pains and feared it was colon cancer.
When he returned to America, he went to the doctor and found out that his colon was fine, but that he had an ulcer and was in the late stages of type-2 diabetes. This caused him to lose sight in his left eye and was slowly losing it in his right eye, making him legally blind. He even experienced nerve damage in his hands and feet from diabetes.
Eric went and spoke to multiple doctors like Dr. Esselstyn, who told him to stop eating processed foods, dairy, and meat. After three weeks of following their recommendations, Ericâs vision cleared up from diabetes. After three months, his diabetes went into remission, and his ulcer went away. He dropped 35 pounds and realized the power of food and how fast your body responds to you giving it the proper nutrients it needs to function.
But this conversation isn't just about Eric's transformation, it is also about how he is using his position to encourage New York to explore plant-based eating and creating new food policies.
Be prepared to be inspired by Eric Adams.You can pre-order Eric Adams new book "Healthy At Last: A Plant-based Approach to Preventing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses" on Amazon.

News flash: 2020 has been a rough year on everybody. And according to a recent happiness study, people in the US are more unhappy today than they've been in nearly 50 years. The study found that just 14% of American adults say they're very happy. This statistic is down from 31% who said the same in 2018.
Furthermore, in other parts of the world, the health and economic impact of Covid-19 has been significant. So stress and unhappiness isn't just an American problem.
Obviously, it's easy to cultivate happiness when life is going our way. But what about the darker times? How can some people remain happy in troubling times?
As it turns out, scientific data suggests there are particular reasons why some people weather the storm better than others.
Today's podcast is devoted to evidence-based studies on how to be happy along with: Happiness Study 2019 World Happiness Report Harvard College Study on why some people live longer and happier The secrets of people who remain happy in stressful times The importance of community service Community service ideas How contact with nature strengthens our social bonds A new study on dairy and breast cancer Toxic chemicals in dental flossThank you for joining me today.

T cells are the most important cells in adaptive immune response because these immune hunters can seek and destroy an infected cell. Unquestionably, building an army of these cells is the single most important defense we have against Covid 19.
And although a robust immune system will not totally prevent us from getting the virus, it will offer additional protection. Furthermore, a strong immunity can lessen symptoms if you contract the disease.
As we all know, this pandemic has been distressing, frightening, and disruptive. There is currently no vaccine to prevent the coronavirus, so the best way to prevent illness is to wear a mask, social distance, and maintain a healthy body. My number one goal is to keep you safe and well, and I hope today's conversation adds to your health and longevity.
This podcast is dedicated to building, boosting and increasing T cells along with: Why T cells are the most critical defense against Covid-19 How to improve, boost and increase immunity cells How immune cells can protect against cancer Zinc's special relationship with immunity The best plant-based sources of zinc Zinc boosting recipes Superfoods to build T cellsThank you for joining me today.

Today we welcome Stephan Kerby, author of the book "You Are The Change: A Beginner's Guide To Socially Responsible Investing." Stephan, a vegan himself, is an expert on the topic of the effects of animal agriculture on the environment and ethical spending.
Furthermore, his book "You Are The Change" is dedicated to making complex information about investing more accessible.
Stephan shares his story of transitioning to a vegan diet and how his diet led him down a path of wanting to create change in the world. He spent 18 years as an Independent Advisor/RIA before partnering with long-time friend and founder of KMF Advisors, Brad Davis, to run the Socially Responsible Investment division. Stephan became the first financial advisor in the United States to earn the new Chartered SRI Counselor (CSRICâą) designation through the College for Financial Planning.
How we manage our money is one of the most direct ways we can contribute to positive change in the world. And it doesn't matter if you aren't sure where to start investing or if you already have a portfolio, Stephan inspires and empowers us to invest in companies who are socially responsible.

Exercise can also cause changes in antibodies and white blood cells. White blood cells are the body's immune system cells that can help reduce your chance of becoming sick.
