YH22-43. Escape the Meatrix with Stuart Waldner

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Do you know you’re inside the Meatrix? Stuart Waldner is offering you the red pill. Are you ready to take it? 

Though Stuart didn’t set out to be an environmental food activist, after transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle in 2008 and feeling better physically, he set out to uncover the statistical connections between our dietary choices and the worldwide crises we’re facing. His new eye-opening book, Escape the Meatrix, is a wake-up call for those willing to face the facts. “My book isn’t for Vegans. It’s for folks trapped in the Meatrix,” says Stuart.

  • What is meant by “escaping the Meatrix”? 
  • A plant-based person saves the life of one animal everyday 
  • The environmental impact and effects of the meat-eating industry on the planet 
  • Eating meat is not sustainable — the Earth’s resources are not infinite 
  • Indoctrination and why we don’t question eating meat
  • Why are we taught to care for certain animals but not others? Speciesism – some animals are pets, others are food 
  • The cozy relationship between the Meatrix and the US government: “I don’t like to get into politics too much, but food is political.” 
  • Meat industry spent 200 million just lobbying against climate change legislation 
  • Marketing meat – ever consider how some of the most effective marketing campaigns revolve around the consumption of meat and animal products? Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner; Pork. The Other White Meat; The Incredible Edible Egg; Got Milk? 
  • The shift from local farms to big conglomerates 
  • In researching the book, he discovered that the top 9 of 11 causes of deaths in the US could be reduced by a plant-based lifestyle  
  • The impact of meat on lung function – the same as chronic smoking
  • Alzheimer’s – the connection between animal-based foods and blood supply to our brains 
  • Busting meat myths: Evolution – we evolved to eat meat, didn’t we?

Stuart Waldner is an activist and an author who invites readers to take the red pill as they Escape the Meatrix, the title of his debut non-fiction book, written after he transitioned to a plant-based diet in 2008. As his health improved, he felt better, and the more he learned about the statistical connections between our dietary choices and the worldwide climate crises we face, the more he felt an urgency to tell other people —for our health and for the planet.? 

Waldner spent nearly two decades exploring Earth’s greatest wonders and connecting with sacred sites around the globe. When he’s not advocating for the health of people and the planet, he spends time playing with his dogs, cooking plant-based foods, running, and restoring his 128-year-old Victorian home.

YH22-40. Perfect Sense with Becky Wolfe

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health Is Your Choice Sara Troy and her guest Becky Wolfe, on air from September 27th

That is, the idea that health and leadership coaching can go hand in hand. Understanding who you are as a person, seeking the health and balance you want from life and understanding what motivates you are possible.  I believe that people are searching for peace, health and balance, but they are struggling to find what makes sense for them.  I’m passionate about helping people understand who they are so they can become healthy, happy and free.  Finding peace in your relationship with food and your body as well as finding peace in your purpose is what inspires me to be a coach.  

Becky Wolfe is a Leadership Development Specialist focusing on organizational change specifically focused on burnout within teams.  She is a certified Coach/Consultant with GiANT Worldwide and has a background in healthcare.

Becky started her career as a Physician Assistant in 2006 initially working in the ER.  She spent the bulk of her career working in Cardiology where she became frustrated with the current healthcare model.  While she was a practicing PA in Cardiology, Becky decided to get certified as a health coach to help her patients with their own well-being. Becky got certified through NSHC which is a clinician-based certification program focusing on motivational interviewing to help patients on their journey to live healthier lives. 

After she got certified, Becky started a program in her Cardiology Clinic as a free source of information and motivation for her patients to attend. The program had great response and she found that patients were able to obtain their health goals with the proper tools and coaching.  Becky was the wellness advocate in that clinic and offered one and one support and coaching to staff and patients as needed.

Becky I also began a blog in 2014 and wrote to inspire women who were on their own health and wellness path.  She continued health coaching individually and in groups during this time. 

She also co-founded a real estate investing business with her then husband in 2012 through 2020.  

In 2017, the cardiology clinic closed its doors abruptly and Becky was faced with finding employment in another field.  She went on to work in Urgent Care, but realized that she wanted to shift to coaching full-time.

In 2018 to 2019, Becky decided to invest in her own professional development and began a leadership development course through GiANT worldwide.  At the end of 2019, it was clear to Becky that she needed to pursue coaching full-time. She got certified with GiANT to so she could work with organizations to help them with strategic people development.

Becky started working with a health coaching company initially in 2020 and started her leadership development company later that year.  She built up her business and now is a full-time entrepreneur focusing on helping teams move forward from burnout culture.

YH22-39. Greg Hammer, MD, “nonjudgmental Mindfulness”

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Your Health is Your Choice with Sara Troy and her guest Greg Hammer ,MD, on air from September 20th

Greg Hammer, MD, Stanford School of Medicine professor, physician, best-selling author, and mindfulness expert, shares tips to become more nonjudgmental and explains the benefits.

Most people admirably strive to be “nonjudgmental” towards others.  Coming from a place of nonjudgment allows us to see the best in others without letting our own biases get in the way.  However, in order to become less judgmental, we need to change how we think about ourselves and the world around us. 

We make quick judgments every day about everything we see and put these things into categories, such as healthy/ unhealthy, affordable/ expensive, and good/ bad.  And how much more often do we make judgments about ourselves?? 

Mindfulness, or living in the present moment, gives us the space to practice nonjudgment.  First, we acknowledge how often we judge and that it is not necessary to judge.  Then we can practice living in the present and accepting the world, ourselves, and others as they are.

What is nonjudgment? Nonjudgment is observation without bias.  It’s understanding that reality is not necessarily good or bad— it just is. Nonjudgment is a natural extension of “living in the moment.”

What are the benefits of nonjudgment?

  • Nonjudgment allows you to see the best in yourself and others.
  • You’re freeing yourself from your own criticism.
  • You’re more open to positive experiences and opportunities.
  • What problems does judgment create?

Judgment prevents us from seeing what is really in front of us!  We risk missing out on making new friends, having great conversations, and learning something new.

Judgment stokes our own fears, anxieties, and insecurities which keep us stuck.

Our compulsive need to make judgments is tiring and takes our energy away from important tasks.

How does mindfulness inhibit judgment?

  • When we are focused on the present moment, we accept things as they are, which prevents judgment.
  • When practiced consistently, nonjudgment will become more natural, but it will most likely never be automatic.  Remaining nonjudgmental is a continual effort.

Any tips on practicing judgment?

  • Take a moment to be present (practice mindfulness) every morning before you start your day.  Set an intention to greet the first person you see with nonjudgment.
  • When you notice a judgment, release it.  You may not be able to stop all immediate judgments, but you can notice and capture them before they influence your behavior.
  • Remember that becoming aware of bias and judgment is an important first step.
  • If you notice that your self-talk is critical, try adjusting your tone to sound like you are talking to a dear friend.
