Ep 65 – Meatless Farm Company

In this episode, we talk to Kasper Vesth, Meatless Farm Company – General Manager of North America about his amazing new meatless company that is changing the world!

About Meatless Farm Company

The meatless farm was founded in 2016 by Morten Toft Bech. Driven by concerns about health, the environment and animal welfare, he and his young family were keen to reduce their meat consumption but found that a lack of tasty and inspiring plant-based options were available to them. Therein was born the Meatless Farm, and a team of nutritionists and chefs was put together to develop a plant-based range of meat.

Ep 63 – Interview With Kyle Shea Coaching

In this episode, we talk to Kyle Shea Coaching about finding a purpose and figuring out why we do things, his plant-based journey and how to have more human connections with one another.

About Kyle Shea

I am driven by the sharing of aliveness, connection, and impact. As a growth coach, I work with clients in harnessing these values to transform their personal and professional lives; as a leadership trainer, I teach clients how to both model and entrench these same values within their business cultures.

My coaching style is rooted in the foundation of positive psychology to ensure a standard of empirical support and actionable results. Likewise, through the leveraging of strengths, deep listening, and cognitive restructuring, I help clients transform in the following areas:

• purposeful living
• achievement
• communication
• engagement in flow
• relationships

Similarly, it’s through this process in which my clients cultivate a deep sense of aliveness, connection, and impact for themselves and the communities to which they belong. Visit my website below for a more detailed breakdown of the transformation process.

Ep 62 – Interview With Dr. Matthew Nagra, ND

In this episode, we talk to Dr. Matthew Nagra, ND about the misconceptions of a plant-based diet. We talk about the Keto Diet, Carnivore Diet, and Joe Rogan and Chris Kresser. Also, we talk about what supplements you should be taking on the daily in today’s modern world.

About Dr. Matthew Nagra, ND

I grew up in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island and from a young age had struggled with multiple health issues such as asthma, allergies, and weight management. It wasn’t until I took control of my own health and began transitioning to a plant-based diet that I noticed massive improvements, which was ultimately the catalyst for the career I’ve chosen. My goal is to help others do the same.

I graduated from the Boucher Institute after having completed my Bachelor’s of Science in Microbiology at the University of Victoria 4 years earlier. I hold board certifications in intravenous therapies, prescriptive authority, and acupuncture. Using an evidence-based approach, I create individualized treatment protocols for each patient based on their health goals and unique lifestyles.

I have a particular passion for plant-based/vegan nutrition, physical medicine, and chronic disease. With additional training in nutrition, I hold a Plant-Based Nutrition Certification from Cornell University and the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies where I’ve authored multiple articles on the subject. There’s certainly a lack of understanding around plant-based nutrition amongst healthcare professionals, sometimes resulting in practitioners recommending non-vegan treatment options to their vegan patients. My aim is to help that population thrive while maintaining their vegan lifestyle if that’s their goal. Beyond catering to the plant-based population, my passion for nutrition is only amplified by my personal history with asthma and my father’s battle with cardiovascular disease, where we both were fortunate enough to come out on top because of lifestyle changes. I believe this is where I can have the greatest impact in helping patients transform their lives.

As a life-long athlete and teaching assistant for the physical medicine program at the Boucher Institute, I also aim to help others get back in action as quickly as possible after an injury and performing at their absolute best. I know what it feels like to sit on the sidelines with a stubborn injury and how important physical activity is to so many of us.

About Hooraw Cafe

Why I am doing this?

I’m sitting outside the St. Lawrence Market in Toronto. It’s a warm December day, a pleasant break from the usual arctic temperatures more common to this time of year. I’m relaxed and taking in the sun, watching people rushing around during their lunch break, while I’m enjoying a plate of raw Pad Tai from my favourite raw food café. I feel amazing and am present to how blessed I am in this moment.

You see, two months earlier I was intubated and in an induced coma in the Intensive Care Unit of Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. I had moments where I was unsure of whether I was still alive. By the grace of god and the most amazing caregivers that attended to me, I survived. I had a profound new understanding of how precious life is. However, due to the massive amount of drugs and antibiotics, I also had a screwed-up digestive system; it was hard to taste food and my stomach was in constant pain. I went on a two week long cleanse, started taking pro-biotics and decided to try eating raw vegan food.

So, back to the St. Lawrence Market… I’m sitting here, enjoying life to the fullest and it hits me like a ton of bricks: why not devote my life to my well being? In the next moment, I’m thinking, While I’m doing that, why not contribute to the well being of all the people in my life! Why not learn more about this? Why not start my own raw food café?

And now I present to you… HooRaw Café—a place for raw vegan food, stimulating conversation and fun!

HooRaw Café is designed to be a cozy place for people to gather, enjoy healthy food and feel at home; a place to share knowledge and learn from each other; a place to display art and play music a community gathering place.

Ep 55 – Interview With Simply Delish

In this episode, we talk to Simply Delish about their amazing plant-based soup and salad business. We also talk about there plant-based journey and their exciting venture in creating fully vegan markets around the lower mainland.

About Simply Delish

Simply Delish Soup and Salad.

My Husband Brad, and myself (Chelsey), own Simply Delish Soup and Salad (NOW Simply Delish Artisan Enterprises Inc) and to be totally honest we never thought we would end up selling soup in a bag! Brad has a diverse background in sales and the sales world. I have a degree in Criminology from SFU and am a dancer at heart. I paid my way through university teaching dance classes and I never thought or dreamed I would be a business owner. A year after Brad and I married, Brad’s Mom (Paulette) started Simply Delish Soup and Salad. None of us knew how fast the business was going to take off. Each weekend the whole family would fan out and work as many farmers markets as we could. We started adding events to the schedule and retail stores started to approach us because they wanted to carry our product. Fast forward a few years and Brad and I were on full time with Mom and Dad at Simply Delish. In Sept of 2016 Mom and dad decided it was time to step back and Brad and I took over. At that time Simply Delish Artisan Enterprises Inc. was created.

Still to this day we absolutely LOVE attending the Farmer’s markets as vendors and customers! We’ve met so many wonderful people along the way, many of which have watched our children grow up in the back of the tent at the markets and events! We are truly a Family Business and love what we do and this community! 

 At Simply Delish, located in Langley BC, we specialize in delicious, nutritious, and convenient dried soup, salad and dessert packages. As a small local business we take great pride in providing the highest quality products using whole, real food ingredients. Many families struggle with multiple food allergies, sensitives and preferences and our goal is to create meal options that the whole family can enjoy despite these restrictions. With that goal in mind, several of our raw ingredients are organic, all of our products are gluten free, vegan (dairy, egg and animal free), MSG free, and reduced sodium/low sodium. Our products are entirely handmade (no machines in our facility) in a dedicated gluten free commercial kitchen.

We believe in spending time with loved ones! That is why the majority of our recipes can be made by adding water, one or two optional additions and simmering stove top for 30-40 mins. We have done the work for you so you can enjoy your free time without having to slave away in the kitchen! We also have several crock pot/ instant pot friendly products that can be prepped 5 mins before leaving the house.

Our mission is: to provide people with healthy and delicious meals which are complete and easy to make so they can spend more quality time with their loved ones. HEALTHY EATING MADE EASY.
