THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: I was very inspired by the discussion with Gena Hamshaw on vegan (and vegetarian) life choices. Both Gena and Laurel consider this an expression in their life of ahimsa - being harmless. They talked about how a vegan diet has both health and ecological benefits. Gina shared eating choices (including protein options) as well as simple meal planning and prep ideas. I loved the concept that Gena shares with her clients which is that meal planning and prep is "an act of kindness to the future self." Upon coming home tired and stressed, the meal is ready - an act of selfcare, of ahimsa for the self. Don't miss this uplifting and energetic podcast.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: I savored our discussion of the many rewards of eating a vegan diet including benefits for our health, the planet, and alignment with our own personal practices of harmlessness. Gena Hamshaw’s expertise on the protein content of vegan foods and your recommendation to get enough protein in a vegan diet were much appreciated. I really enjoyed her down to earth statements that, for her, cooking is not always easy and joyful, but that there are many things we can do to make cooking delicious, nutritious vegan meals easier and more enjoyable.
