PLANT POWER - I was brought up with the classic Kiwi mentality of eating meat almost every meal and every day.

Over the last 2 years, I haven't eaten a pig, cow, lamb, or chicken (or any other land dwelling animal) and I'm not just surviving - I'm thriving.

Instead, I have adopted a mainly plant based diet, with the equivalent of perhaps half a fish per week, and free range, organic eggs from our neighbours and local organic stores IE Produce​ Huckleberry​, and Wise Cicada​. I won't buy dairy products on purpose, but if I do - I'll make sure it's organic and of the best quality.

In complete transparency and contrast to that, there are also times where you might catch me eating a V-Twin Vege burger or even the off chance of a pizza covered in cheese.

I am very aware and conscious of the impact on my body and the planet from my diet - and I am doing my best to be the change I want to see in the world whilst allowing the stretch room for experimentation and play.

On a deeper level, I have adopted this mentality not just for the health and respect of my body, but for a love of the animals, and responsibility for the protection and guardianship of the planet.

Cage farming and our modern ways of raising animals and cattle for us to eat is both an environmental, ethical and spiritual travesty. As a collective society many of us have become completely detached from where our food comes from, & this is a fundamental issue that is affecting us as a civilization. This needs to change now. We need to take responsibility for our consumer choices & stop supporting practices which are destroying the planet and the needless slaughter of innocent animal lives.

If that is not yet hitting home, NZ has one of the highest intakes of meat & dairy in the world, and we also have corresponding highest rates of bowel and breast cancer... Not saying that meat is the reason for this, but an over intake of meat and dairy into a toxic, blocked up gut microbiome.

If this post can help to encourage one person to cut their meat intake and become more conscious about cage farming and where their food comes from, then I'll be a happy lad.

Powerful Conscious Boss Panel last night with these legends Emily Gallagher Feel Fresh Nutrition Richie Hardcore Art Hlavac Green.

Some stand out questions... How do you incorporate meditation and movement into your daily practise? How do you balance spiritual service with making a financial profit? What does our nutrition have to do with our mental health? How can we create positive coping mechanisms in response to life situations? How can we make better decisions with our consumer purchases in order to help our local organic community?

Small and constant changes/steps every day lead to a compound effect over time. Build your spiritual environmental values into the structure of your business. Check in with WHY you are doing what you're doing. Place people and planet before profit 🌎 Buy local and support small organic farmers markets and at the same time engage with your local community. Be the change ⚡️

Thanks to Em for having us - Toa Wahine!

PLANT POWER 🌿 Over the last few years I have managed to survive on a diet of mostly plant-based foods. Sure - I might still eat a small portion of fish every now and then, fry a few organic free range eggs here and there, and when Mum serves a home-made chocolate cake, I'm definitely not going to hold back; But my point is that I have managed to not only survive, but thrive, by significantly minimizing the amount of meat and dairy in my diet, keeping an open mind, and maximizing the amount of PLANTS.

Shifting to a plant-based protein powder was one of the first things I changed, which gave me cleaner burning and better quality fuel - Prana ON being one. This concoction is a sprouted brown rice and golden pea blend, inclusive of important gut repairing supplements like L-Glutamine, and even a healthy dose of powerful prebiotics and probiotics - something that animal based whey protein powders only dream of. Cheers for the hook ups David DC Cordtz.

Why have I cut down on meat & dairy? Because I care about the environment, and all things in it. Animal agriculture has the second biggest contribution of C02 to the atmosphere per year, and not only that, in many parts of the world, animal agriculture includes the crude exploitation and unfair treatment of animals. How can I call myself an environmentalist if my diet is directly contributing to the perpetuation of climate change and supporting the exploitation of other living beings?

I'm not perfect, but changing the world starts with changing ourselves, and the shift towards eating less meat and adopting a more plant based diet is one of the simplest, most powerful choices you can make for the health of ourselves and that of our planet right now.

The real revolution, is the evolution of consciousness 🌏✨
