044: Meat-Free Motivation

Tried and True strategies for incrementally reducing meat and dairy in our diets.

Been listening to this podcast for awhile?  If so, you probably:

  • Rely on reusable shopping bags like a pro.
  • Brew your morning coffee at home.
  • Turn off lights in rooms you’re not physically in.

You’re doing everything you can to preserve our planet. That’s wonderful. (Really!)

But are you vegan?

I know eating habits are a touchy subject. This week, I’m going there anyway. 

It’s as simple as this: We aren’t doing all we can in the name of sustainability if we aren’t drastically cutting BACK on (or, even better, cutting OUT) meat + dairy.

That’s where today’s episode comes in. I’ve been a vegetarian for 18 years + counting. On this week’s show, I’m calling on this experience as I offer my 4 best tips to *incrementally* go plant-based.

Even better? I’m offering up my family’s favorite vegan recipes. 

Enjoy!

  1. Hi, very interesting podcast! Thank you!

    About the cheese, it is true that is difficult to find a similar consistence and taste.
    I’ve tried many Italians, they’re good, but we’re not there.
    I think the best are:
    -> absolutely https://www.newroots.ch/ : to see and the consistency unmatched by the Camandber.
    –> then https://www.vegusto.ch/en

    This summer I went to NY and found in the shop attached to the Moo Shoes (south of Manhattan), a Canadian cheese (also based on cashews), really good.
    Even friends (not vegans) find it surprising.

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
