If you’re one of the millions of human beings who get their periods each month, some of these side effects might be all too familiar to you. BUT why do our periods come with this long list of undesirable symptoms? Why for some and not others? And what’s actually happening to your body during your menstrual cycle and throughout the month? Today we’re talking EVERYTHING periods. I’ve had mine for well over a decade, and before this podcast, am a little embarrassed to admit I really had such a surface level understanding of what’s happening in my body every month and I’m so glad we’re talking about it.

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Alex and Whitney, dietitians, authors and the creators of Plant-Based Juniors to answer all of your burning questions about plant-based eating and the impacts a vegan lifestyle can have on early life. Some of the questions answered: Is a vegan baby at risk for nutrient deficiency? What supplements should we be making sure our kids are getting?

Unfortunately, this includes animals like chickens, pigs and cows that are commonly farmed in both Canada and the United States. It’s an unfortunate reality that the world isn’t going to stop eating animal products overnight. With that in mind, in this week’s PlantPod episode, we delve into how we can lobby the government and industry to improve the lives of farm animals at every stage from farming to transportation to slaughter. For this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lynn Kavanagh who is the Farming Campaign Manager for World Animal Protection Canada. Here are some of the questions we delved into: What does factory farming look like in Canada? How can we help improve the lives of farm animals? What legislation does the government have in place to help improve the lives of these animals? Are farmers and industry open to c...

Or maybe you feel like a fraud, and you’re waiting for the shoe to drop and everyone to figure out that you’re just faking it. These are feelings I know all too well, and if you can relate, sit tight as today we’re delving into imposter syndrome, high functioning anxiety and how to cope in our fast paced world. Questions answered with Psychologist Dr. Kelly Vincent: What is imposter syndrome? What are some of the symptoms? Why do you think someone experiences imposter syndrome? What are some of the steps to overcome imposter syndrome? Do you think social media contributes to anxiety and imposter syndrome? What sort of boundaries should we put in place to protect our peace?

Or maybe you’ve experienced ongoing symptoms like fatigue, insomnia and low mood with no source or explanation from your doctor?  In this week's episode of the PlantPod, I was fortunate to interview Dr. Vivian Chen about about the impact environmental toxins can have on our health and how they often hide in some of our favorite household products. We also discuss some simple steps to help offset the health consequences of toxic buildup. Dr Chen is a UK-trained medical doctor with 15 years of clinical experience. She is board certified in the UK in both internal medicine and family practice. Her world turned upside down when her daughter was hospitalized soon after being born with symptoms no doctor could figure out. Through doing her own research, she was able to help her daughter recover. She also realized...
