I say it all the time. Contrary to popular belief, it's not only possible to optimize your health on a plant-based diet; when done right, I actually recommend it.  But where do you get your protein? I field this question constantly.

Believe it or not, you can actually thrive, and never suffer a protein deficiency. Because no matter how active your lifestyle, a well-roundedwhole food plant-based diet provides more than enough protein to satisfy the...

First one is "What manly dudes talk about" and second is "How to be a man?" from Tales of...

This week we like to copy a blog from a site we love: mindbodygreen, about how we are all connected to the universe Carl Sagan once quipped: "We are here so the universe may know itself". Today, science shows us we are all connected, kinda like yoga, which connects our body, breath and mind.  With the help of the Hubble space telescope scientists have told us our known universe is almost 14 billion years old!
