Ordinary Vegan Podcast #101 - Five Ways to Reduce Microplastics in Your Body
Without our knowledge, microplastics have invaded our bodies, and at an alarming rate. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers reported that plastic concentrations in the brain have increased by 50% over the past eight years. These microplastics have not only invaded our brains, but they have also lodged themselves throughout the entire human body. The head toxicologist Dr. Matthew Campen, said "The findings should trigger alarm." Although we don't know all the impacts of microplastics, we do know this. Microplastics in the body can cause inflammation. The chemicals that make up microplastics, act as endocrine disrupters. Endocrine disrupters are chemicals that can interfere with the body's hormone system. They can mimic hormones, block their action, and disrupt their production. This can impact growth, development, reproduction, and other bodily functions. Another alarming statistic is that people with Alzheimer's have three times the amount of microplastics in their brains. Leading to studies about the connection of microplastics to dementia. Today's podcast takes a deep dive into all the actions you can take immediately to reduce microplastics in your body.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #86-: Reversing Diabetes & Inspiring Change with BP Eric Adams
Today I sit down with Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams. Eric is in the running to be the next mayor of New York City and he is using his platform to spark real change and spread the plant-based message. Here is some background. At 15 years old, Eric Adams was beaten by police. The traumatizing incident inspired him to become a police officer to help reform New York City policing from the inside. He co-founded 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, and after 22 years on the force, retired as a captain. Eric served in the New York Senate for seven years and was elected Brooklyn Borough President in 2013. He is now serving his second term. In 2016 when Eric was out of the country, he experienced stomach pains and feared it was colon cancer. When he returned to America, he went to the doctor and found out that his colon was fine, but that he had an ulcer and was in the late stages of type-2 diabetes. This caused him to lose sight in his left eye and was slowly losing it in his right eye, making him legally blind. He even experienced nerve damage in his hands and feet from diabetes. Eric went and spoke to multiple doctors like Dr. Esselstyn, who told him to stop eating processed foods, dairy, and meat. After three weeks of following their recommendations, Eric’s vision cleared up from diabetes. After three months, his diabetes went into remission, and his ulcer went away. He dropped 35 pounds and realized the power of food and how fast your body responds to you giving it the proper nutrients it needs to function. But this conversation isn't just about Eric's transformation, it is also about how he is using his position to encourage New York to explore plant-based eating and creating new food policies. Be prepared to be inspired by Eric Adams. You can pre-order Eric Adams new book "Healthy At Last: A Plant-based Approach to Preventing Diabetes and Other Chronic Illnesses" on .

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #84-Building T cells for Immunity & Protection Against Covid-19
T cells are the most important cells in adaptive immune response because these immune hunters can seek and destroy an infected cell.

Furthermore, a strong immunity can lessen symptoms if you contract the disease. As we all know, this pandemic has been distressing, frightening, and disruptive. There is currently no vaccine to prevent the coronavirus, so the best way to prevent illness is to wear a mask, social distance, and maintain a healthy body. My number one goal is to keep you safe and well, and I hope today's conversation adds to your health and longevity.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #78-The Health Risks Of Social Isolation & Loneliness
Experts have long been concerned about loneliness, and now social isolation has made the epidemic worse. According to a 2018 national survey by , loneliness levels have reached an all-time high, with nearly half of 20,000 US adults reporting they sometimes or always feel alone. Sadly, one of our youngest generations, Generation Z, is feeling the most significant impacts of loneliness. In an analysis conducted by The Pew Research Center, one-in-ten Americans say they feel lonely or isolated from those around them. Unsurprisingly, frequent loneliness is linked to dissatisfaction with one's family and social life. And lonely people often crave human contact, but their state of mind makes it more difficult to form connections with people. So America had a chronic loneliness problem before COVID-19. Consequently, now with social isolation, we all find ourselves experiencing the risk of feeling lonely. Indeed loneliness is a normal human experience, but feeling lonely and isolated for too long can harm our physical and mental health. A Newcastle University study linked loneliness to a 30% increase for the risk of heart disease. Another done by the Florida State University College of Medicine says loneliness is associated with a 40% increase in the risk of dementia. Other have indicated that loneliness is a precursor of cognitive decline in general. As a social species, humans need a safe, secure social circle to survive and thrive. Overcoming Loneliness In Social Isolation So today's podcast is dedicated to overcoming loneliness while you are practicing social isolation along with: Identifying the effects of social isolation and loneliness on physical, mental, and cognitive health How social isolation can disrupt Circadian rhythms and cause insomnia Evidence-based interventions for combating loneliness and social isolation I hope today’s podcast can help you.

Patrick McKeown has written seven books on improving your body's oxygen use. His latest book, "The Oxygen Advantage," is a simple yet revolutionary approach to improving your body's oxygen use.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #75: Healthy Pantry Food & Canned Food Recipes For Isolation
People often significantly underestimate the quantity and value of the foods that they have stored in cupboards and pantries. Today’s podcast will teach you how to make the most out of your pantry food. The uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus is the most challenging thing to handle. Unquestionably, food, and having enough of it is of the utmost importance. And seeing bare shelves at grocery stores is fueling that fear. People are trying to minimize the risks associated with frequent shopping so they are buying in more significant quantities. But experts do agree that there is enough food in the supply chain, grocery stores just weren’t prepared for this. So my recommendation is to begin by doing a pantry, cupboard inventory. A thorough list will help make good use of what you have and perhaps calm your nerves about not having enough food. Also, pantry food is often thought to be less nutritious than fresh foods, but research shows that is not always true. Actually, some canning can preserve most of the food’s nutrients. Especially when it comes to canned beans and canned tomatoes. Today, we will learn lots of new ways and recipes to make the most out of our pantry food.

Ordinary Vegan Podcast #74-Best Foods For Respiratory System Health
Did you know what you eat can benefit your lung function and improve your respiratory system health? Today we explore food and exercises to improve conditions in the air passageways to make your lungs stronger. We often don't consider the important role our lungs play in keeping us well. It is not until we experience problems breathing that we take notice. Recently there has been a lot of attention about lung function and the respiratory system. The new Covid-19 virus attacks the lungs and researchers are trying to understand why. But until they figure it out, we need to protect ourselves as best we can. Most people don't know this, but lung function starts to decline at age 30. After the age of 35, breathing becomes gradually more difficult. The respiratory system does two critical things. It brings oxygen into our bodies, which we need for our cells to function properly. It also helps us get rid of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide must be removed from the bloodstream before it reaches harmful levels. When the air sacs become inflamed, we are unable to get enough oxygen to the bloodstream and it reduces the body's ability to get rid of carbon dioxide. This can cause severe pneumonia. Lung and respiratory disease are some of the most common medical conditions in the world. The goal of today’s podcast is to get your respiratory system and lungs in tip-top shape to reduce your risk of severe infection. Ways To Improve Your Respiratory System Health Thanks for joining us today, and thanks to my sponsor, Go to for $10.00 off any purchase of $50.00 or more.
