Plant Based Kick Starter - Mini Podcast Series

In this mini series I interview specialists in behaviour change, plant-based nutrition, metabolic disease and digestive health. If you're considering the transition to an entirely, or predominantly plant-based diet for the sake of your health, weight or longevity then this series is for you!


If you enjoy the show, don't forget to share it with a friend and of course, if you want to hear more interview like this please let me know. Who knows, maybe I'll create some more!


Episode 1: The Transition to Plant-based with Kat John.

Listen to the show: here. Kat John is creator of the global ZEROFKS movement, she has a meditation app coming soon, she’s host of the REAL, RAW, RELATABLE podcast, a coach, keynote speaker and she runs workshops. She has been in the process of transitioning to a plant-based diet over many years and I truly believe that her experience will inspire you to do similar and most importantly, allow you to learn from her experience and the set backs. Kat is now thriving on a purely plant-based diet but that’s only because she decided to seek outside advice and get serious about her values driven decision to eat plant-based. You will also get a sense as to why Kat is such an incredible coach, she is unselfishly open to sharing and her energy is palpable. If you’re considering the transition to a predominantly or purely plant-based diet, listening to her experience with plant-based nutrition is an absolute must!

Steph is a wealth of knowledge on the subjects of digestive health and becoming fat adapted and I was thrilled that I could pick her brains on your behalf. In listening to this you will learn about what LCHF (lower carb, healthy fat) is, we break down the myths associated with a traditional LCHF plate and clarify what needs to be on there. Steph and I also discuss the importance of digestive health, she explains the link between the gut and mental health as well as the influence that gluten can have on digestive health.
