Description

Today, we host a trailblazer in the world of sports and mentorship. With a professional basketball career that spanned the planet –  including a stint with the Harlem Globetrotters and a Euroleague MVP award – Joseph Blair, also known as The Vegan Coach, brings experience and wisdom to his role as assistant coach for the Washington Wizards.   Off the court, Joseph champions a plant-based lifestyle for its health benefits and its impact on the environment and animal welfare. He is outspoken and passionate, and that is reshaping how fans and athletes think about veganism.   And be sure to check out his Instagram page to watch "The Vegan Diaries," where he takes you to vegan restaurants at home, around the country when he travels with the Wizards, and abroad.   Join us as we learn more about Coach Joseph Blair, from his journey to plant-based living to his insights on how to inspire people, whether it’s to play better ball or to eat vegan.   “So to hate something enough to slaughter it, devour it, that's the next level of hate that we're taught. That is something that's taught by parents who say here, take that chicken and eat it. Why? Because the chicken's life means less than your life does. So it doesn't matter. We are the superior beings. We can overpower it. But isn't that the same thing with people when it comes down to racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism and that exact same thinking that is literally destroying our planet and our communities as a whole? So if we can alleviate that thinking completely, it has to start with our diet.” - Coach Joseph Blair   What we discuss in this episode: - Insights from Coach Blair’s time with the Harlem Globetrotters. - His journey to becoming vegan. - The transformative power of conscious living. - Coach Blair’s diet and fasting practices. - How Coach Blair discusses veganism with his players. - The food culture within the NBA: what players and coaches eat, including on the road. - The inspiration behind "The Vegan Diaries." - Tips from Coach Blair for aspiring vegans or those curious about adopting a vegan lifestyle.   Resources:  - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrjosephblair/?hl=en - Twitter/X: http://x.com/mrjosephblair?lang=en - Eat More, Lose Fat Through Reverse Dieting With Maxime Sigouin - https://switch4good.org/eat-more-lose-fat-through-reverse-dieting-with-maxime-sigouin/   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! ★☆★ https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here ★☆★ https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

Do you want to live a healthier and more robust life? The key to living a full, healthy, and joyous life lies within the foods we eat—and our relationship to them. Because health isn’t accurately measured by the circumference of your waist or how much you can bench press- true vitality is measured by how you feel, not just physically but deep within. Olympic medalist Dotsie Bausch alongside Baywatch actress and certified health coach, Alexandra Paul, take listeners of all ages on a journey to optimal health and stamina through plant based eating. Dotsie and Alexandra, who both fought back from severe food addictions in their twenties, interview expert nutritionists, pro athletes, innovative thought leaders, physicians and plant-based celebrities. Through their stories, you’ll learn how to optimize your health and pave a path for a more meaningful life. So get inspired and join the Switch4Good revolution.
