Northern Colorado is a garlic mecca. Who knew? Our area grows so many kinds of garlic - at least 15 if not more - depending on the year and my counting!  I had so much fun doing this Fresh Picked Minuter interview with Pirate Radio 93.5 FM.   In Garlic Unplugged, we take a five-minute flavorful journey to discover the unique varieties of fresh garlic in Northern Colorado, each with its own character and charm. We’ll explore how to find, what to look for, and how to use to bring out their best in everything from delicate dressings to hearty roasts. Learn to taste garlic like a pro, savoring its subtle sweetness, earthy depth, or fiery kick. Enjoy! And go buy awesome garlic!

Wake-up calls. We’ve all had them. Some are quiet voices nudging us or budging us to change. Other calls are screaming at us that we don’t have time to dwell on much – like a Stage IV cancer diagnosis or a heart attack. Then there are those calls in between that speak to us, that we file away in our filing cabinets in our brain, ready to pull for review when necessary. Thomas Friedman’s book, Hot, Flat, and Crowded, was an early wake-up call for me. It stayed on my bookshelf long after others had made their way back to the library or donation center. Along with the book, The World in 2050, Friedman’s book made me think about our world, our environment, and how we live and potentially could be living – if we don’t listen to the subtle and not so subtle alarms in our environment. These are my thoughts on what we may be becoming, hot, fat, and louder if we don't resist the insatiable urge to scream above the noise. ******************************** If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please be sure and click to subscribe and receive the latest podcast and more info about Celebrating Life at Any Age!

Breath is life.  Most of us know that our lungs and heart are important. But what about our faces? What do you do when you know something isn’t right about your breathing, the chronic fatigue, and basically, your life? What is it like when you are in the prime of your adult life – wife, mom, professional, and more – and you don’t think you can physically, mentally and emotionally do more? In 2023, Rachel Boesen discovered an unusual, more prevalent, yet under-the-radar malady in her late 30s. After years of pain, discomfort, and fatigue from an invisible modern deformity that may affect up to 15% of the population, perhaps more, this is her story of strength through curiosity and perseverance to breathe new energy into her body, family, and life.

Most of us think staying steadfast in thought, word, and deed is admirable. We tend to like that characteristic in individuals, but we may become stagnant if we don't change our thought processes based on good information. It’s a conundrum on what creates change, moves people to make change and understand the fundamental nuances that get people to do something seemingly easy like just eating less meat. It sounds so simple. doesn't it?

Christspiracy - the documentary that is a bit under the radar right now but probably will make an appearance to the general public soon. From the filmmakers of Cowspiracy, Seaspiracy, and more comes a third documentary to fill out the trilogy of how we answer the animal question.  I don't want to give away all the "meat" of the documentary, but let's take 25 minutes and walk through a few of the suppositions, theories, and proposed evidence to take a deep dive into our rationale of eating meat, and what are possible reasons to eat less or no meat, including the spiritual side of things. These are my thoughts based on watching the movie and parsing together other literature and research I've done in the past to ponder vegetarianism and veganism in this podcast. To jumpstart the conversation, if it is difficult or impossible to spiritually slaughter an animal for food, there are three follow-up questions to consider that I ask at the end of this podcast, as we think about the spiritual journey with animals as co-living systems in our universe.   Enjoy!   If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please be sure and click to subscribe and receive the latest podcast and introduction to another wonderful individual who is celebrating their life at any age!

Matt Fetissoff and his family began growing food on their little slice of Fort Collins, Colorado land in 2013. Years before, Matt learned about the industrialization of modern food starting with the book The Omnivore’s Dilemma, then a little film called Food Inc., and subsequently permaculture from people like Adam Brock and Brad Lancaster. These experiences revealed how important growing your own food can be, and soon his mind was full of garden plans while his heart focused on feeding his family. It wasn’t long before his kitchen was overflowing with everything from squash to tomatoes, challenging him to put the harvest to good use. Around that time his family tried to purchase sustainable locally raised meat, eggs, and dairy, but there was lingering doubt that their lifestyle was just. Then in the spring of 2017, he and his wife had a big conversation about some undercover footage she found on the internet and were frustrated that they had supported such energy-intensive and unbelievably cruel industrialized farming practices for so long. From that day on they were vegan. Not long after, they saw the films Cowspiracy, Seaspiracy, and The Game Changers which helped fortify their lifestyle change, and it was clear to see that leaving animal products behind meant exploring cooking and recipes in an entirely new, beautiful & healthy direction. Food has driven Matt’s life in some big ways, including his work with the non-profit The Growing Project where he helped grow crops, organize events, and cook communally shared meals at their educational garden using ingredients freshly harvested on-site. He has also contributed to the food gift economy culture which developed from his time with the Northern Colorado Permaculture Guild, where he helped organize workshop events & cooked shared meals for volunteers. With the Guild, Matt has been able to bring permaculture to a wider audience while befriending an emerging community of skilled volunteers who share their time and energy out of love for the movement. And his decade participating in community events has also inspired the creation of his own permaculture design & yardscaping business, Common Roots.   https://www.instagram.com/stories/gardenerinthestars/ http://www.nocopermacultureguild.com/ https://commonrootscolorado.com/ Favorite influencers: https://www.youtube.com/@DerekSarnoChef https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bensvegankitchen/   *********************************************** If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please be sure and click to subscribe and receive the latest podcast and introduction to another wonderful individual who is celebrating their life at any age!

Wendy Grono knows healthcare’s ins and outs from an executive-level position. But 18 months ago, some cardiovascular health problems moved her to take a deep dive into the world of improving her health through dietary changes. Moving gradually to a plant-forward lifestyle, Wendy’s results of dramatically lowering her lipids and cholesterol and pushing her pre-diabetes into remission now motivate her to be a proponent of eating at least 80% plants. As Wendy tells others, she wished she had done it sooner and, through her own experience with real data results, encourages others to just eat more plants!

The Big Island is a dream. Volcanos, fern forests, cobalt blue vista views, and more. But did you know it was rated one of the most vegan-friendly states in the United States? This was comforting news as we were preparing our travel arrangements for a February trip. As a plant-forward chef and a full-on vegan husband, it’s a conundrum of where and what to eat when traveling. But, good news, Hawaii had a lot to offer the plant-based traveler! So let’s chat about how to eat plant-based on the Big Island with some off-the-beaten trail options. As I did my research, I found many restaurants and cafes that offered plant-based options. From tofu to jackfruit to complete vegan cafes, I felt confident that if we wanted to go out to eat, we would have no problems at all. Rarely did I find a non-chain restaurant that didn’t have at least one vegetarian or vegan option – and it wasn’t spaghetti marinara. Yes, Hawaii prizes its ahi tuna, homegrown beef, and pork, but there is an uptick in the interest in plant-based or vegan lifestyles possibly because they are ocean-bound and self-sufficient, or catering to many visitors. Although Oahu is the most vegan-friendly Hawaiian island, (bigger metro areas, more visitors, I get that) I give my hats off to the Big Island and its interesting options if you know where to look. Enjoy these ideas for eating plant-based on the Big Island!

Evan Mimier is a longtime vegan who is happy to discuss plant-based eating with anyone who is interested in the topic! As a male vegan with a background in motorcycle mechanics and construction, he is certainly accustomed to being the only vegan in his circles. But as eating fads targeted at men, like the keto diet and carnivore diet, come and go, he continues to eat a whole food plant-based diet since the best longitudinal nutrition studies and his own before-and-after blood work supports that this is the optimal diet for disease prevention! 10 years ago, eating vegan was inherently more health-promoting than the standard American diet. But with the rise of the meat and cheese alternative industry, most of which is owned by the meat and cheese corporations themselves, Evan asserts that one must minimize the use of these substitutes to truly experience the health benefits of plant-based eating these days!   www.nutritionfacts.org www.Instagram.com/nimai_delgado https://www.instagram.com/lewishamilton/ https://www.instagram.com/cp3/ https://stephencabral.com/ https://www.drjoelkahn.com/ If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please be sure and click to subscribe and receive the latest podcast and introduction to another wonderful individual who is celebrating their life at any age!

Josh Vaisman, MAPPCP, CCFP - CoFounder & Lead Positive Change Agent, Flourish Veternary Consulting ​Leading a veterinary hospital is friggin’ hard work, and Josh understands the struggle first-hand. He has been a proud member of the veterinary community since 1998. In 2009, he took the leap into practice management and ownership and continued in those roles in two small-animal hospitals until 2018. ​A lifetime optimist and overall “happy guy,” Josh was shocked to find himself feeling spent, alone, and crying over breakfast while his surprised wife looked on with disbelief. Recognizing he had burnt himself out, he made the difficult decision to step away and recapture his authentic self. ​Since then he’s dedicated his professional trajectory to elevating veterinary staff and teams, so they can authentically flourish in their work. To that end, he’s obtained certificates in areas such as Positive Psychology, Workplace Culture, and Building Effective Teams and a Master's level education in Applied Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology. He co-founded Flourish Veterinary Consulting LLC to bring the knowledge he's obtained to life. Josh lives in Colorado with his amazing wife, 3 insane parrots, 2 rescue pups who occasionally share the king-sized bed, a 7 lb cat known as the “Golden Child,” some fish tanks, and a few beehives. In his free time, he enjoys teaching about beekeeping, playing indoor soccer, and dreaming about moving to Kauai.

Happy Apple Natural Kitchen is my comfort writing food and evolving recipe collection. I am a freelance writer, healthy recipe developer, former Kindergarten teacher, and most of all mama, as well as a dedicated endurance runner passionate about healthy living. In the past, I fell into a lonely power struggle with food. It was something I feared, obsessed over, and defined myself by via attempts to control my consumption of it. I lost myself and my health, relationships, and focus suffered. One day hitting rock bottom, it struck me with renewed clarity, it was time to let go.  I began learning to appreciate and understand food for what it is. It's fuel. Sustenance. It's a beautiful, powerful gift.  It’s communion and community. It's a means to health, and it's meant to be shared.  Knowledge is progress. Making a commitment to continually educate myself around changing developments in health and nutrition provided a ladder out of a hole, but love transformed everything. Becoming a parent, I've reveled in the fascinating journeys and impact of healthy food in a whole way. Sharing joyful preparation and appreciation alongside my adventurous eater, I was struck in a new way by the incredible, impact of positive role modeling. This includes our relationship to food, but is most importantly about the way we love ourselves and each other. I love experimenting in the kitchen. I love the bright colors, varied textures, and crisp sounds of produce on the cutting board. I love to bake, to gift from the heart, and to explore ways of being healthfully creative and economical. I hope we can share our discoveries and savor the enjoyments of life less processed. I hope you find something helpful in this collection of plant-based dishes that nourish our active family and fit with busy days and conscious budgets. ~Wendy https://www.happyapplekitchen.com/ https://www.facebook.com/fitandfrugal https://www.instagram.com/wendymckitchn/  (4500+ followers) Children's cookbook - Plot to Plate: Grow, Cook, Create!

Mariam Haddad - CEO & Founder, The Performance Communication Company Entrepreneur, Classical artist, Lyricist, Storyteller, Reinventionist    On the way to our dreams, life happens. What you do with what happens… is what matters most. Life called Mariam to re-invent herself multiple times, to persevere as well as to be creative in converting the seemingly negative into the positive gift life presented. As a result, she learned that struggle is the pathway to joy itself, helping us to come to know ourselves better and find the inner stillness from which peace is born. As a Syrian American who grew up on the El Paso – Mexico border steeped in American society, she learned each struggle serves as a vehicle to help find the sameness in others as well as to celebrate our differences.
