Health is the cornerstone of prosperity. If our body isn't functioning properly, we can't do anything, we can't lead joyful lives. We normalize aches and pains, bloating, exhaustion, headaches, ill-health - all the things caused by our lifestyle. We come to believe that to be human means to get progressively sicker every year. That simply isn't true. There's no reason we can't be vibrant and activ...

We can't achieve our goals without being productive. But sometimes it feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day. Kris McPeak is a certified life coach, author, blogger, podcast host, founder of the Silver Peak Performance swim team… and she also holds a full-time job. We couldn't think of anyone better to give us holiday productivity hacks! How does she do it all? Prioritization, routin...

Is it possible to eat meat AND be cruelty free? Can we continue eating burgers and still tackle the global climate crisis? A few years ago, the answer to that would have been no, absolutely not. But today, clean meat is forging the way towards exactly that: meat that requires no killing, and that has no environmental impact. One of the people involved in this shift is Bruce Friedrich. Bruce went p...

Ah, Italy! The pizzas, the pastas, the wine, the gelato…. But what if you're vegan? Well, let's bust a myth right now: it's a total misconception that travelling to Italy if you're vegan, or gluten-free for that matter, is difficult. We're used to the American versions of Italian foods, where it's all about cream and cheese. Truth is, traditional Italian specialties, particularly in the South of I...

It's Halloween, so what better time to talk about ghosts and why they visit us? Some are our guardian angels. Some are stuck here. Some are malevolent, locked in this dimension by negative patterns. But ghosts aren't the only thing that affect our present. Many of our core beliefs, emotional traumas and even illness are passed down from our ancestors in our DNA. Three years ago Roxy had a chance m...

Life is more than just about hustle. It's about community. Finding your tribe. The people with keys that open up parts of yourself you never knew were there. Without community, life is empty. Lori Harder grew up without community - in a small town, in an overweight family who believed they were victims of their genes, home schooled, with no friends outside her religion. She was lonely, repressed a...

She's one of the most inspiring businesswomen I know. Tracey Edmonds is an award-winning Hollywood producer, TV presenter and CEO of Edmonds Entertainment Group. And now she's helping people live their dream life through her new website Alright Now. Sometimes in life, situations happen that make you completely rethink your lifestyle. For Tracey, this moment came when her dad had a quadruple bypass...

Fiona Oakes is one of the most humble, incredible, inspiring people we've ever met. At just 3 years old, she went vegetarian. When she was 6 she opted out of all animal products, at a time when being vegan was considered an eating disorder. Her love for animals motivated her to open up an animal sanctuary. But that wasn't enough, she wanted to do more. In 2004, tired of vegan bashing, Fiona launch...

Did you know sugar is the new smoking? Or that the molecular structure of sugar is nearly identical to cocaine's? That's what makes it so addictive - and it's literally everywhere! Over 80% of items in the supermarket contain added sugar - even foods you wouldn't expect, like crackers, salad dressing, and soup! In the 80's, we decided fat was the enemy. We removed the fat from our foods but replac...

First of all, who made aging bad? We all get older, there's no getting away from it. But we can do it with grace and ease. Between the ads, the movie stars, the instagrams, the magazines, the voices in our own head, the fact is we don't feel good about ourselves. And as we get older, it gets worse. Instead of loving our wisdom and our journeys, instead of enjoying our life, we hate ourselves for e...

Masa and Michael Osei - Founder of The Minimalist Vegan Do you suffer from the More Virus? Most of us do, to some degree or other. The symptoms? Always wanting more - more stuff, more success, more money, more cars, more clothes, more friends. Anyone who's seen Hoarders knows that you can literally get trapped by your stuff. Always wanting more leaves us less time to actually enjoy life and be con...

"Why don't you put a bag over your face?" is the kind of comment Daisy grew up with. She suffered with terrible cystic acne from 3rd grade. Despite trying every anti-acne product on the market - oral antibiotics, silicic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, etc. nothing worked. In fact, these conventional treatments even made her skin worse. She felt massively insecure, ugly, and believed she would nev...

There's nothing like getting home after a hard day and pouring yourself a glass of wine. But did you know most wines aren't vegan? Crazy right? Traditional alcohol production uses ingredients such as egg whites, gelatin or dried fish bladders to filter the grapes - suddenly that vino doesn't look as appealing does it! Thankfully, some brands have stepped up with delicious vegan options. Our favori...

It's never been easier to go plant-based. More importantly, there's never been a better time to do it. Faced with an epidemic of disease and the threat of global warming, it's the one thing all of us can do to make a positive difference - both for our health, and the planet. Today's two guests made the shift to veganism after watching the groundbreaking (and super powerful) documentary Earthlings....

With so many different types of yoga, you might not know where to start. The same goes for fitness. Do you go hard and fast, or slow and gentle? Thai kick-boxing or asana flow? Or maybe it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're moving and appreciating your body. Koya Webb is a yoga superstar and celebrity holistic health coach, has appeared on NBC and was the main character on the reality s...

What do relationships and business have in common? You can't succeed in either without mindfulness. Think about what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur. Drive, passion, organization, strength…. But also, belief in yourself, trust in your abilities, confidence in your knowledge. Without that, you just stand in your own way. So how can we stop blocking ourselves from following our dreams and s...

Do you ever feel like none of your inner work is getting you anywhere? What if your fears, limiting beliefs and negative patterns were not your own, but actually inherited from your ancestors? Are you holding something in your body that isn't even yours? If your ancestors had any kind of emotional trauma, such as fear, phobias, depression, anxiety, abuse, the subconscious traps that energy in DNA....

We used to consider smoking healthy - everyone smoked, even doctors. It took over 20 years and 7000 studies before the first official report against smoking was published. How long will it take before the truth comes out about our diets? Well, if Dr. Michael Greger has anything to do with it, not long at all! Dr. Greger was inspired into the medical profession by his grandma's healing story. She'd...

Is clutter holding you back? You may think mess is just a nuisance, but the state of your home is a reflection of what is going on inside. Our environment sends us sensory messages about the world we live in. A broken path to your home sends the message that life is hard, that things can trip you up. A cluttered purse sends the message of difficulty letting go. A chaotic desk speaks of disorganiza...

Kerri went vegan at the age of 12. But she wasn't a healthy vegan. Pasta, sugar, gluten, soy, and junk food all featured in her diet, causing drastic mood swings, low energy and skin issues. After 24 years of that kind of strict veganism, she felt like crap. She had constant sugar cravings, was tired all the time, was anemic, started losing her hair, and her brain didn't work. And all the doctor d...
