It's now clear: You can succeed as an athlete while eating a plant-based diet. From endurance runners to professional football players, athletes across disciplines are going vegan and breaking records.

Plantapalooza: The Science of Metabolic Nutrition with Nicolette Richer
5/28/2023
When you hear someone say they have a healthy metabolism, they're usually referring to one thing: Burning calories. But metabolic health is about so much more than how quickly we burn through food. It's about energy, cell function, and eliminating waste. And it leads to healthy blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and nutrient absorption. So how do we nurture a healthy metabolism? Today's interview is with Nicolette Richer, a Regenerative Medicine educator who specializes in metabolic health. She outlines a clear diet and lifestyle blueprint for a thriving metabolism.

Plantapalooza: Whole Food Plant-Based Eating — Building an Diet that Matches Your Lifestyle with Jill & Jeffrey Dalton
5/26/2023
Does eating a healthier, whole-food plant-based diet feel out of reach? You could follow the typical advice repeated across the internet... Spend your Sunday meal prepping. Use this cookbook or that meal planner (often filled with unfamiliar ingredients). Buy new kitchen gadgets like a pressure cooker or air fryer. For some people, those tips might be useful. But when you're busy with work or school, juggling meals for a family, or unconfident in the kitchen, scheduling additional time for prep and complicated recipes can feel like an insurmountable burden. That's the way it felt for Jill and Jeffrey Dalton when they first started eating a plant-based diet. Neither of them enjoyed cooking, and most of the foods they tried to cook were foreign. So they put together a strategy that has made their meals not only healthy, but fun, quick, and easily repeatable. And now each week they share their meals with hundreds of thousands of people through the Whole Food Plant-Based Cooking Show. Today we sit down with Jill and Jeffrey, who share their journey to whole food plant-based cooking, and how the method they used to transform their diet.

Plantapalooza: Sustainable Weight Loss with Kiki Nelson
5/25/2023
Here's a shocking stat: It's estimated that the global weight loss industry — built around crash diets, liquid meal replacements, and appetite suppression — was worth over $220 billion in 2021. And it's only growing year over year. And yet, studies show that the vast majority of dieters (anywhere from 37-97%, depending on the study) consider it a failure. Either they never lost the weight to begin with or gain it back as soon as they go off their diet. There has to be a better way... And according to Kiki Nelson, a bestselling author and founder of Plantiful Kiki, there is. It's sustainable (so you don't regain the weight), flexible (no crazy crash diets), and does a whole lot more for your health than just helping you shed a few pounds. As part of today's Headliner event, Kiki walks us through how she lost over 70 pounds on a bountiful plant-based diet, and what she has learned from year's of coaching others to do the same.

Plantapalooza: Diversifying Your Gut Microbiome Through a Plant-Based Diet with Married to Health
5/24/2023
Few parts of your body impact your health as much as your gut. A healthy gut microbiome can boost your energy, elevate your immunity, and increase your longevity. An unhealthy gut does the opposite... creating a lot of bloating and digestive discomfort in the process. But what exactly is a gut microbiome, and how does a plant-centered diet impact it? That's what we dive into with Dahlia Marin, RDN, LD, CGN and James Marin, RD, two of the world's leading plant-based gut health specialists and the founders of Married to Health.

Plantapalooza: Overcoming the Greatest Challenges to Your Health with Ocean Robbins
5/23/2023
We need a food revolution. In the United States, we spend 19% of our entire Gross Domestic Product on healthcare — 80% of which is treating the symptoms of chronic disease. Chronic diseases that are directly fueled by diet and lifestyle. As Ocean Robbins, a bestselling author and co-founder of , puts it: Our healthcare system isn't helping people get better, we're just trying to manage an ongoing breakdown. But there's some good news: A recent study published in Plus Medicine found that switching from a typical diet to an optimal plant-centered diet — even as late as the age of 60 — could add eight more healthy years of life. And if you start sooner you can add even more. In this first Plantapalooza Headliner discussion, Ocean outlines his approach to helping people make that life-changing transformation. An approach that has helped millions of people set off their individual food revolutions. For additional resources, visit And this week only, save up to 50% sitewide!
