No Meat Athlete Radio

Let's take a little walk down memory lane and explore the history of No Meat Athlete and how it -- and the community -- has changed over the years.

I think it's safe to say that both of us have primarily identified as runners over the past several years, but when it comes to fitness and health, where does running fall short?

Have you ever taken a life-changing smoke break? NMA's own Susan Lacke has, when her old boss, Carlos, convinced her to start working out with him. Twenty months later, she was running her first Ironman triathlon, writing for NMA, and launching a new career. And it was Carlos's never-wavering support that she believes made it all possible.

You've probably seen the recent headlines like, "No Amount of Alcohol is Safe" or "Why Any Levels of Alcohol is Bad for You." They've been popping up a lot recently, in part because it's a drastic shift from the conventional thinking that a small amount of wine each day could actually be good for you. In today's episode we take a look at the recent studies, and examine what they mean for our health (and our drinking habits).

Sometimes, no matter how much you want a habit to work, it just doesn't. You can't get it to stick. Does that mean you should just give up and quit trying all together?

How does a classically trained French chef turn into one of the most popular vegan recipe developers on Facebook? Ask Jean-Philippe Cyr, The Buddhist Chef. He’s made a name for himself not by whipping up thousands of mediocre recipes, but by creating carefully crafted, reliable meals, and doing so in a mindful way. We frequently share Jean-Philippe’s recipes in the Academy newsletter, so when we had the chance to bring him on the podcast to discuss his food philosophy, it was a no-brainer. In today’s episode, Jean-Philippe Cyr shares his take on maximizing flavors, mindfulness, and why it’s important to keep recipes simple in order to grow this community.

As adult vegans, we face certain challenges when traveling, at restaurants, or when we're outside our normal routines. But we always end up figuring it out.

In today's episode we explore how we feed our kids, both at home and when traveling.
