- Ep 80 – Alan Twigg | Author
In this episode, we talk to Alan Twigg about his plant-based journey, his book and online courses. We talk about how to stay healthy during COVID19.
About Alan Twigg
In 2016 and I had just turned 50. I was a married father of four children, slightly overweight, unfit and balding. Three years previously, my wife Susanne and I had decided to move from Germany where we lived to Tenerife in the Canary Islands with our two youngest children. Because we are self-employed, we were able to work from home, which, luckily for us meant that we had the freedom to uproot and move to Tenerife. We’d settled into our new life and that was good. But I had reached another turning point in my life. During the previous ten years I’d been working hard on growing my business and apart from the odd game of squash I’d been neglecting my health. I didn’t know why, but I felt bloated most of the time, as though air was trapped inside of my body that couldn’t escape. I also lacked energy and my digestion was causing me problems.
Now four years later, I’ve never been happier, healthier or more at peace. I’ve lost a bit of weight without going hungry, my energy levels have never been higher and I always sleep like a baby. I now know how to cook delicious dishes and the variety of food that I now eat is much more varied, tasty, fresh, healthy and nutritious than ever before. I’ve become far more aware of what is going on the world. I’m far more open, compassionate, caring and tolerant than I was before. Also, I’m now setting an example for myself and for everyone around me. I’m making a small but significant difference to the world every day.
I wish that I had made the change earlier in my life.
I will be eternally grateful to my daughter for showing me the light and helping me make the best change anyone could ever make.

- Ep 79 – Dr. Melanie Joy | PhD
In this episode, we talk to Dr. Melanie Joy, PhD about her plant-based journey and the world of carnism . Also, we also talk about how to better communicate and improve relationships with one another with opposing views.
About Dr. Melanie Joy
Melanie Joy, PhD, is a Harvard-educated psychologist specializing in relationships, communication, and social transformation. She is the award-winning author of five books. These include the bestselling Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows and Getting Relationships Right: How to Build Resilience and Thrive in Life, Love, and Work. Also, she is known as a internationally recognized speaker and trainer. She has presented her work in fifty countries across six continents.
Similarly, she is best known for her groundbreaking theories on the psychology of violence and nonviolence and building healthy relationships. Her analyses have helped explain why people engage in “nonrelational” behaviors—behaviors that harm other people, animals, the planet, and themselves—as well as how to change this pattern. Her work has been featured by media outlets around the world, including the New York Times, BBC, NPR, and ABC Australia. She is the eighth recipient of the Ahimsa Award—previously given to the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela—for her work on global nonviolence; and she also received both the Peter Singer Prize and the Empty Cages Prize for her work developing strategies to reduce the suffering of animals.
Likewise, her mission is to raise awareness of the obstacles preventing people from interacting. She does that in ways that create a sense of mutual connection. These obstacles are both internal (psychological) and external (social). They are a key reason why we act against our own interests and the interests of others—often without realizing that we’re doing so. With awareness, we are better able to think freely and act compassionately. In addition, we create healthier and more fulfilling relationships and a more equitable and sustainable world.
Lastly, she is the founding president of the international organization, Beyond Carnism, and a cofounder of ProVeg International. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Joy now resides in Berlin, Germany, with her husband and colleague, Sebastian Joy.

About Meatfree Maria Lee
Hi guys! My name is Maria Lee and I’m from Vancouver, Canada. I turned 33 in December 2019, and I ended my career in technical documentation back in 2014 to make health and fitness my livelihood.
I currently own a personal training business that is just over five years old and growing stronger each year. My business is my baby and consumes the vast majority of my life — business owners who are goal-oriented often have to sacrifice time with loved ones when pursuing professional success, and I am no different.
Being an entrepreneur and activist with ethical vegan ideals doesn’t make it easier to meet the right guy! I’m not married and I don’t have any kids. Actually, not true. My clients are my kids, I care for them like they’re my blood family.
I started working out when I was 17, a newbie who imitated what she saw others do at the gym. I went to the community gym when I was in high school and just never stopped. Over the years, the gym has become my home away from home, the place I turn to for reinvigoration, structure, and resetting.
In the summer of 2018, I went on stage to compete as a natural vegan bikini athlete and placed 2nd in Bikini Open at my first regional show, the BC Cup Natural Championships. This allowed me to move on to the international tier, which was the IFBB Van Pro Qualifier. I didn’t win first place, but I did get 3rd in Bikini Open again, which I was VERY happy with given the fact that I didn’t even expect to get up to that tier as a total newbie to the stage.

Ep 66 – Eds Bred Sourdough Bakery
In this episode, we talk to owners Natasha and Ed of Eds Bred Sourdough Bakery, a 100% plant-based bakery and cafe in Whistler, BC. We talk everything to do with artisan sourdough bread and why having a plant-based bakery means so much to them.
About Eds Bred Sourdough Bakery
Originally from Kent in the UK, Ed has always worked in fine dining kitchens around the world and has been making sourdough since 2008. Ed and Natasha moved to Canada in 2013 to snowboard for a season. They both worked in hospitality and Ed worked in farm-to-table restaurant Alta Bistro in Whistler, BC.
While taking some shoulder-season leave and working on Vancouver Island farms in the summer of 2014, Ed started a sourdough culture that he took with him back to Alta Bistro and implemented a bread programme for the restaurant.
Back in 2016, Ed rented the bistro’s kitchen once a week to make bread for his friends, who subsequently told their friends, and before long demand had increased to a point where Ed had outgrown the equipment. That’s when Ed and his wife, Natasha, decided to team up and start planning to open an 100% plant-based organic sourdough bread shop in Creekside, Whistler. Natasha admired Ed’s dedication to making tasty artisan loaves and Ed knew that Natasha’s background as an English teacher and examiner, as well as a string of hospitality jobs over the years would come in useful for starting a food and beverage business.
Being vegan for the past five years, it was important for Ed and Natasha to bring that into their business. They both believe that you shouldn’t make food for other people that you wouldn’t eat yourself.
The bread shop sells loaves for pick-up in-store and a selection of small baked items and espresso based coffees are available in the bread shop. Direct-trade, Australian-inspired Canadian roasted smooth, rich and balanced deep chocolate syrupy sweetness and cherry-like fruitiness espresso coffees matched with oat, almond, soy or coconut alternatives to cow’s milk.
