Plant-Based Families

Plant-Based Families

From meat-free ‘chicken’ nuggets to non-dairy ice creams, plant-based foods that actually taste good are becoming increasingly available in grocery stores. In many ways it’s never been easier to find kid-friendly and carnivore-friendly cuisine.

So then why aren’t more of us (myself included) transitioning our families to plant-based eating?

In honor of Veganuary I bring you a conversation with PETA’s Faith Robinson about why we should all take yet another look at our diets; she also offers her best tips for incrementally transitioning our families to plant-based eating.

Here’s a preview:

[5:00] Are processed meat-free foods healthy?

[9:00] Thoughts on the protein problem

[10:00] Eating plant-based is one of the most environmentally friendly actions we can do and here’s why

[11:00] Capitalizing on our children’s innate sense of compassion to ease the transition to plant-based

[20:00] Don’t reinvent the wheel! Incremental first steps for incorporating more plant-based meals

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?
