In an aim to inspire and empower you to live a more plant-based, body-moving and mind-focused lifestyle, and to consolidate his own new normal, Andrew discusses what's been happening recently for him.

Andrew talks about:

How he's been going with 2 of the recent guest-inspired challenges he took on
What's been recently happening for him personally in one of the healthy lifestyle pillars - physical activity
2 recently published scientific papers he found valuable to know about
What he's been reading, listening to and watching in the form of books, podcasts and videos

Hopefully you'll hear something that will help you make a better choice about the way you live your life. And perhaps you might take on a challenge yourself for the next 28 or even 7 days. Small steps are important. Incremental change, particularly around habits, might be the most beneficial thing you ever do for your health.

Live well, feel well, do well.

Andrew
