First, the very exciting news!
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, and Howard Jacobson, co author with Dr. Campbell of Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition are together
contributing the Preface to my new book, The Plant-Based Journey.
The honor and thrill of this is enough to send me to cloud nine for some time. Isn't this spectacular? Settle down Lani!
Now on to that high octane fuel I refer to in the title
of today's news..
Five star resource: Plant Yourself Podcasts
Always on the lookout for bringing you tools to advance your own journey, let me introduce to you Howard Jacobson’s outstanding Plant Yourself Podcasts.
This week I had the honor of being Howard’s Plant Yourself Podcast guest.
Officially titled Plant Yourself Podcast 87: Lani Muelrath on Exercise and Other Fuels for the Plant-Based Journey, as all of the Plant Yourself podcasts, my conversation with Howard this week can be played right on the page
or downloaded for listening at your convenience.
In this program, Howard and I dive into, among other things:
- the most important – and most neglected – benefit of exercise
- the link between movement and brain
biochemistry
- why it’s not entirely “all about the food”
- the “micro-change” strategy
- the number one predictor of success in changing anything
- the problem with vague intentions
- the role of emotions in changing
lifestyle
- how exercises reduces stress
- the similarities between exercise and some addictive drugs
- BDNF – the magic brain protein that builds new brain connections and facilitates learning
- three ways exercise improves mood – whether you want to feel better or not
- the missing link in habit formation: neuroplasticity
- the tiny changes that can begin the beneficial cascade of transformation
