Switch4Good

What if going vegan isn’t just about food, but about freeing your mind, healing your heart, and reclaiming your power? In this episode, psychologist Dr. Angela Crawford, author of The Vegan Transformation, unpacks the deeper emotional and psychological shifts that happen when we stop consuming animals. We explore how culture and conditioning shape our choices, why some people break through and others don’t, and what it means to live in alignment with our values. Drawing on 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Crawford reveals seven core transformations that can lead to greater clarity,...

326 - Olympian Dotsie Bausch and Jason Wrobel: A Crash Shattered My Body & Confidence - Here’s What Saved Me

Switch4Good

“Recovery—it’s rarely, rarely linear, and never, ever convenient. If you are someone who's used to being in command of their body, it can feel almost like the universe just slammed on the brakes without any warning. That is the loss of autonomy, right? That's one of the most common—and very, very disorienting—aspects of any physical injury. None of us want to hear that setbacks are not failures—they're part of the process. The frustration is normal. Let it come out. Let it work itself through.” -Dotsie Bausch “The mental side—the frustration, the inability to use my body the...

325 - Eat to Beat Your Metabolism with Dr. William Li

Switch4Good

“One of the things that I always teach people is listen to your body. You want to actually pay attention to what makes you feel good and what your body is gravitating you towards. This is about bounty. It's not about deprivation. The research has shown us we can lean into the foods that we like. We love to be able to find something that's not only good that we appreciate.” -Dr. William Li “It is possible to turn back the clock on our metabolism, burn fat, and increase longevity, all while being able to enjoy the food we eat. Are you saying we can sleep and fat burn at the...

324 - Menopause & Erectile Dysfunction: Hormones, Muscle Loss & Plant-Based Solutions | Dr. Brooke Bussard

Switch4Good

"Hot flashes are a canary in the coal mine for women. So, women who have more hot flashes, who have more frequent hot flashes, and more intense hot flashes, have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. People who are on a whole food, plant-based diet usually have fewer hot flashes, and the men have less erectile dysfunction. We lose between 3 and 8% of our muscle mass per decade after the age of 30. And then, for women, it speeds up after menopause, because we sort of are here, and we go off a cliff. Women should not be thought of as this delicate person that can’t lift heavy, that can’t...

323 - What Are the Signs of Burnout? How Chronic Stress Hijacks Your Hormones, Energy & Career

Switch4Good

"Burnout is why I left. I just started talking myself out of it, that we shouldn’t do it anymore. I just kind of ignored those feelings. It’s strange to fall out of love with something that you’ve done every single moment of every single day for a very long time. Maybe it’ll be too sooner than later, right? But right now, that is going to keep it fresh. I want to keep this feeling." -Dotsie Bausch “I’m talking about how important B complex vitamins are for stress, and yet I’m at home, in my hotel room, on the road, grinding so hard that I’m not taking my own advice. I...

322 - Surprising Fiber Benefits, Heavy Metal Detox and Avoiding Gray Hair with Alexandra and Jason

Switch4Good

"A study that was done in 2022, it looked at over 4,000 adults over a 26-year span, and it found that just a 5-gram increase in fiber led to a lot less inflammation in the body. And they measured inflammation by C-reactive protein, which you can ask your doctor about when you get your next blood test to measure your CRP, or C-reactive protein, to see how inflamed you are. And when you have lower inflammation, this also lowers your heart attack risk. So, higher fiber in your diet can lower your heart attack risk by as much as 30%. Who knew, right?" -Alexandra Paul Today, we’re diving into the...

321 - The Pros and Cons of Cold Plunges & Antibiotics Plus Tips for Healthy Living with Alexandra & Jason

Switch4Good

"I have wondered if heart attacks could be an issue because it is a shock to the body when you walk into a cold shower. I don’t know. When you did those plunges, did you sort of slowly go in, or did you go in all at once because it’s easier that way?" -Alexandra Paul "No. I go all in, all at once. For me, if I do the gradual process—where I’m just dipping a toe in, literally just dipping a toe in—the feedback that my mind will give me is: ‘Danger, danger, danger. Do not do this.’ So I do it because I want to override that fear response and the danger signals that my brain is...

320 - How to Avoid Dementia and Alleviate Depression with Alexandra & Jason

Switch4Good

"You’ve also probably heard that playing an instrument helps your brain. And they did this study with twins. One twin played an instrument, and one twin didn’t. And the twin who played an instrument had a 64% lower likelihood of developing dementia. If you just remove your cataracts, you immediately improve your chances of not getting dementia by 30%." -Alexandra Paul “So, I want to introduce a food that is not prevalent yet in Western culture. And it’s one of the most incredible foods that has been growing in the Caribbean and tropical areas of Africa. It’s called…” -Jason...

Switch4Good

"So, if you keep a pitcher of water in your fridge, or if you prefer room temperature, you just put it on a counter, cut up some fruit or cucumber to give it a fancier taste. And I actually thought that’s what you did, Jason, because I kind of imagined you having water with, like, cucumber in it. I’m not that fancy, but it’s the easiest thing in the world. I mean, now that you’re saying it, there’s no reason why I wouldn’t. It makes it a little more interesting. Right?"-Alexandra Paul -Jason Wrobel We’re bombarded with health advice—ditch gluten, detox your body, drink more...
