25.01.2022 New Normal Project Podcast (Episode 58): Adam Guthrie - An inspiring transformation from heart attack to healthy and mindful plant-based living On this episode my inspiring guest is Adam Guthrie, whose health and vitality was amazingly transformed when he found out about and then adopted a whole food plant-based diet after having a heart attack at age 39. Adam started his career as a chef but his vocation drifted into real estate where he was overeating junk food and became o...verweight and depressed. And despite thinking that his vegetarian diet was healthy, Adam had a heart attack at age 39. In this podcast, Adam tells you what it felt like to have a heart attack, the medical treatment he received and his cardiologists advice that he would need life long heart medications. Adam now wishes his doctor had given him the option of transitioning to a whole food plant-based diet as, having done so, he is now amazingly fit and healthy; so much so that he no longer needs the medication, surfs most days, and has even completed an ironman triathlon. His current lifestyle includes a diet full of vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains, a daily meditation practice and abstinence from alcohol. And he now hopes to help people to live this way, through classes, courses, events, retreats and the I Feel Good magazine. Adam can be found through his website (adamguthrie.com), on Instagram (@adamguthrie) and if you are in Australia you might be interested to join him at one of the events on his current Australian tour (adamguthrie.com/events). Adam has a truly inspiring health transformation story and is powerfully influencing people through his gentle and humble manner. After listening to this episode I think youll find it hard not to take at least something Adam says away with you. Please enjoy listening to Adam Guthrie. Live well, feel well, do well.

23.01.2022 New Normal Project Podcast (Episode 61): Jackie Busse - Healthy children make healthy adults. Whilst it might seem difficult to believe the food we eat early in life can influence the diseases we develop and how long we live, most of us do understand that childhood nutrition is at least a little bit important. And that foods like cows milk, soft drinks and sugar-laden processed foods might not be the best things we can feed our children. So if you are a parent, a grandparent...Continue reading

In an aim to inspire and empower you to live a more plant-based, body-moving and mind-focused lifestyle, and to move towards your new normal, Andrew discusses whats been happening recently for him....

21.01.2022 This is a replay of a previous episode (number 53) which featured Dr John Orchard speaking on the health effects of exercise. John is a sport and exercise medicine physician who combines work in professional sport (he is Chief Medical Officer for Cricket Australia), research (he has over 250 scientific journal publications), a speaker (at conferences all around the world) and a clinical sports medicine practice. John studied medicine in Melbourne, did some of his training at ...the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra and now lives and works in Sydney. John and I started out as medical students together many years ago, have remained firm friends, and I have enjoyed watching him become one of the most respected doctors and researchers in sport and exercise medicine in Australia. As John talks about in this episode the benefit/risk ratio of exercise on health may be better than many of the drugs used in medicine. And whilst that doesnt mean we should give up taking these medications, its important we understand just what exercise can do for our bodies, minds and souls. I cant think of anyone better to guide you through the scientific evidence on exercise than John. We recorded this conversation in early 2019. In it, John also covered the amount of exercise you need to derive health benefits; how exercise can prevent many well-known diseases, and can also be used in treatment too; the risks of both over and under-exercise for your musculoskeletal system; and some perspectives for those of us who wish to healthfully participate in endurance exercise. Please enjoy listening to this replay episode with Dr John Orchard. Live well, feel well, do well.

05.01.2022 The ultimate social distancing! No #coronavirus here. And I’m helping my body and mind be prepared for the onslaught of looking after the sick as an Intensive Care doctor. In all seriousness, please listen to our authorities and limit your social contact right now. Our ICUs are preparing to be so overwhelmed that we may not have a bed or a respirator for you or your loved ones. You might feel invincible but if you catch the virus you could transmit it to someone whose ri...sk of death is much higher. No functions. No parties. No school. Work at home if you can. No restaurants. No cafes (a tough one for me). We must limit our interactions for the benefit of all. And with social distancing you are allowed to be out in nature (if away from other people). Even if you need 14 days quarantining you can get some sun and some exercise in your back yard. So my choice whilst I’m only doing social distancing is a dip in the cold water like this as I believe it will maximise my immunity, something we all need, and especially we intensive care workers. #swimrise You do the #natureactivity that works for you. But stay socially distant and wellbeing focused. And please remember.... we are in this together. See more
