Javant joins me to talk about his journey to veganism, which began with a major health scare and evolved over many years into a fully vegan lifestyle. We discuss how he moved from trying different diets to embracing whole-food plant-based eating, and how that shift eventually expanded beyond health to include empathy for animals and compassion for people who aren't vegan.

Javant also shares details about his new cookbook, which focuses on familiar comfort foods made vegan, oil-free, gluten-free, and free of refined sugar. We get into his philosophy around helping people eat more plants without feeling deprived, his thoughts on fibre versus protein, and why gut health deserves way more attention than it gets. We also talk about the four pillars of health he teaches through his app: diet, exercise, sleep, and mindset.

Coach Zoe and I are back for a Coaches' Corner episode, answering the questions we didn't get to during our recent live No-B.S. Reset panel event. We dig into some of the most common (and most frustrating) myths we see in the fitness and nutrition space, especially around strength training, supplements, and social-media "advice."

If you're new to lifting, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information online, or just tired of wellness trends that sound slick but don't actually work, this one's for you.

In this episode, we cover:

- The biggest mistakes beginners make when starting strength training (and how to avoid them)

- Why going "too hard, too fast" backfires, and what sustainable progress actually looks like

- Compound lifts vs. isolation exercises: what matters most early on

- The rise of creatine gummies (and why "creatine for women" marketing is nonsense)

- Why "what I eat in a day" videos can be misleading, or downright harmful

- Steps vs. cardio vs. lifting: what really gives you the most bang for your buck

- The lingering myth that vegans can't be strong—and why leading by example matters more than arguing

- A teaser on upcoming deep dives into diet-culture obsessions like "snatched" bodies and HYROX hype

As always, we bring the conversation back to evidence-based coaching, long-term health, and building strength in ways that actually work in real life, without extremes, guilt, or BS.

What happens when a doctor, a registered dietitian, an agrologist, and a fitness coach sit down to answer real audience questions? Find out in this episode. In this follow-up to our live No-B.S. Reset panel event, we tackle the questions we didn't have time to answer on Zoom, covering everything from vegan nutrition myths to food system misconceptions.

You'll hear evidence-based, practical answers to questions like:

What really helps with high blood pressure and low blood pressure, without jumping straight to pills?

Should I be concerned about eating too much soy? (Spoiler: no.)

How can people with IBS or sensitive guts thrive on a plant-based diet?

Are protein bars and powders helping, or just crowding out better options?

Is livestock necessary for soil health or food security?

Joining me are:

Dr. Jade Dittaro: lifestyle MD, hospitalist, and environmentalist.

Vesanto Melina: registered dietitian and award-winning co-author of 15 books.

Cory Davis: agrologist interested in the socio-environmental impact of food, an animal rights advocate, and co-author of Plant-Powered Protein.

We connect personal health, planetary health, and food system reality, without pretending there's a single perfect answer for everyone.
