How to Transition to a Plant Based Diet Part One

As you could likely guess, humanity is now faced with a long list of challenges that many would consider unsolvable. In addition to that there are so many opposing opinions about how to solve these issues, that most people suffer from information overload, feel completely helpless, and are convinced that their individual action makes no difference whatsoever.

In my opinion if we want to solve some of our toughest issues, instead of taking direct action, we need to address the source of the problem. In other words, we need to think upstream. And that is one of the many reasons that a plant based diet makes the most sense.

For the next several episodes I am going to talk about the advantages of this diet plan and what it can do for our health and our planet.

In my opinion, one of the most significant social issues of our time is social media and the effects it has had on our culture and how it has fundamentally changed the fabric of our society.

Social media came rolling into our lives and promised a new way to communicate, make new friends, promote your business, and keep in touch with family. But years into this social frenzy, experts are now discovering that this trend actually has a significant down side.

That being said, just like most things, there are ways to use this technology to your advantage instead of allowing your life to run by an algorithm.

So join me for episode 273 Life Without Social Media Part Three.

Sooner or later the circumstances of your every day life are going to force you to make a trade off. It is part of being an adult, managing your own life and taking responsibility for your choices. Some times those trade off are beneficial. At other times we look back and say to ourselves “I’ll never to that again.”

Our modern lives are full of trade offs, many of which are the result of our choice of short-term convenience. From the foods we eat, the recreation we choose, the employment we take on, all are based on convenience.

While some of these examples may be obvious, other things such as the internet and social media are far more subtle in their detrimental affects on our lives. So join me for episode 272 Life Without Social Media Part Two
